It is totally down to the IRL/CART split (which has been one of the big reasons behind NASCAR's massive gain in popularity over the last 10 years)
The Indy 500 used to be a great race, and it always makes me sad to see it now, with half the field made up of drivers who should not be out there, driving those hideously ugly, slow IRL cars. Screwed up finishes like last year do not help the credibility of the race either.
Sad to say, but I kind of hope the Indy 500 dies completely in the next few years.
