IndyCar gets ire of Boston City councilor

A city councilor lashed out at the organizers of the Boston IndyCar Grand Prix for its failure to reach out to South Boston youth sports organizations and build local partnerships, threatening to lobby councilors to oppose the event in a formal resolution if he doesn’t see a change in posture.

“If IndyCar is listening, they better be on the horn this morning, or I’ll be looking to work with the lead sponsors to convert this to a resolution whereby this body goes on record saying we don’t want IndyCar; not this year, not next year, and they can go to other destinations,” said Councilor At-Large Michael Flaherty during Wednesday’s City Council meeting.
