...or you could view it as a sort of hissy fit because he was planning to use his share of the $100 million "payment" from TG (that they did not get) to fund his racing operation.

Personally, I think GF is ticked off as he realizes that time and time again he backed the wrong horse:

Purchases an enormous amount of CART stock.
Continued to purchase it even after it was worthless.
Did nothing to replace Players.
Made an arse out of himself on the telly decrying the reasons for the loss of Players, thus becoming product spokesman of the year.
Purchased CART at bankruptcy.
Funded his and other teams in the face of (surprise) lack of sponsor interest.

Was the PT "loss" at Indy a factor? I am sure it is/was. I just don't think it is as far up the flagpole as one might think.
