Much like Marsha Brady’s envious sister Jan, many IRL drivers are struggling for their fair share of attention. Case in point: Andretti Racing’s Dan Wheldon. Wheldon captured his third checkered flag of the season by winning the Indy 500. In years past, marketing and media opportunities would abound for the winner of the most prolific event in international motor sports. Especially for a winner that is young, handsome, and arguably the best driver in the series. Wheldon should have been a lock for the cover of Sports Illustrated, as well as several TV gigs. And let’s not forget the Wheaties boxes. Not this year.
