The "Indy" name recognition may not hold the same glamor it used to with motorheads, but it's still far more recognized in the general public.
That is totally true. Laura (member of the general non-racefan public) didn't even know that there were two open-wheel series, let alone recognizing the words "Champ Car". She knows what "Indycar" means though.
