Indy Racing League (IRL)
In 1994 Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony George created the IRL as a lower-cost alternative to CART (now known as Champ Car; see below), which had governed Indy car racing since 1979. IRL races are held on oval tracks and a few road courses throughout the U.S., with its signature race being the Indianapolis 500.

IRL cars use normally aspirated, 3.0-liter V8s that run on methanol and produce an average of 650 hp. (The IRL announced it will begin using more environmentally friendly ethanol-blended fuels in 2006.) You can catch IRL races on the Speed Channel, CBS and NBC (check listings).
