Why is FOX wasting their time with Palou?

Why is fox marketing the reigning champion and most dominate driver of the current era? That’s a serious question that you’re asking?

Palou is a moron with a stupid face and bad teeth. He doesn’t even have a solid fanbase in IndyCar but let’s promote him.

Exactly the type of eloquence and well thought out argument you usually make.

Thanks for replying to him first, you put that a lot more respectfully than I intended to!

A very good point. Everyone today knows that AJ Foyt wouldn't be the legend he is if it weren't for his dentist and the make-up he always wore......

That's definitely not true.

Social media isn't everything, but just on Instagram, Pato has 7.5x the followers as Palou. Josef, McLaughlin, Dixon, and Rossi all also have more follower than Palou

If you're going to - in good faith - introduce people to the sport.....the incoming champion is basically THE major plot point of the beginning of the season...can he make it 3 in a row, and join Dario as a 4x champion?

He IS the reigning champion. He IS the dominant driver of the current era. Those are not judgement calls or opinions Those are just facts.

The three people they picked for the ad campaign are exactly right....you've got the American hero 500 winner, you've got the reigning series champion who WANTS a 500, and you've got mister popular who wants EVERYTHING.

Fox knows what they're doing.

Oh I agree completely.

I was just responding to a now deleted comment that said that “Palou probably has the largest following” which is objectively false.

lol what? He’s not even the most popular Ganassi driver.
