Key points:

he bashed MA
he called AJ a traitor
he said the Irl has a car count problem
he mentioned the 497.5 had bad tv numbers
CC has a 5 year tv deal with ESPN and will be getting paid
it's cheaper to run a car in CC then the hurl
CC should have between 20 to 22 cars next year
Atlantics this year had a huge turn around
CC prize money was bad and they need sponsors
PT is the driver to build open wheel around
ESPN will be good for CC

You're not missing anything. It was just two DJs - Oreovicz was on the phone.

Not that you would be missing anything if he were in studio, either.

But...but...but...Oreo's a CART street-race shill! He's no more trustworthy than Miller! He was the gunman, not Mari!

Odds are that you don't have the divx video codec installed.

The audio is encoded mp3.

One good point, one of the hosts said he could name 10 NASCAR drivers and he doesn't even watch it. I can too, which I guess goes to show how much media attention they get.
