Wait A Minute; Indy Gets Promoter Award From FOM?

Is it me or this years Promoter award a bit odd?

Indy wins the award for Promoter of the year.

The United States Grand Prix has won the annual Race Promoters’ Trophy, which is given out by Formula One Management.

But this is what Mr. E had to say about Indy and part of the reason he was not too concerned about leaving it off in 08.

“They haven’t done anything to really get behind it have they?” Ecclestone told Reuters on Saturday when asked if he was satisfied with the race at the Brickyard.

“We arrive in town, what do we get? We get banners saying the Indy 500. Not really the way to promote Formula One,” added the Briton. “They haven’t got behind it, full stop.”
