The thing is, Indy cars DO NOT draw "the best competitors". They get what's left after "the best" go where the money is better....ie NASCAR. The best open wheel drivers make their way through 1/4-midget, midgets, Silver Crown, USAC (and WOO) sprinters, THEN part ways with open wheel racing in favor of NASCAR. The likes of Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne, ect....went where the grass is greener AFTER it looked like they may be the face of Indy car racing. Same applies still to this day. There are a handful of promising drivers in Indy car, but many wouldn't have made it out of the developmental racing leagues a few decades earlier. NASCAR cashed in on the big TV dollars and with that, stole the talent.
