I thought it was interesting how Michael Andretti had words against Briscoe for knocking out Danica, but I didn't see him talk about his own son knocking out Tony Kanaan, when Kanaan was leading the race.

Since Kanaan called Marco Andretti stupid for that, I wonder if Kanaan will still be on Team Andretti.

Can we take Danica's fac and put it on Milka's body. Oh, and Danica a personality transplant. Actually it would be a personality implant because she really has none. Her appearance on Letterman a few weeks ago was brutal to watch.

Whaanica. What an idoit.

It's not like the dude was trying to take her out intentionally...and I'd like to see her reaction if she made a mistake that ended someone's day (which she definitely will and prolly already has) and they tried to come after her like that.

You seriouly don't expect any driver to not be mad as hell when some idiot zooms into the side of their car while cruising down the outside pit lane? That guy deserved to be slugged with a tire tool. He shouldn't be driving a go-cart.

 

[mandingo]

I'm sure I'd be very frustrated, but it was an honest mistake. What got his car into hers is when his back end broke loose. That is, of course, his fault, but it's still an honest mistake that could happen to anyone. He didn't actually just "drive right into her" like I've heard a lot of people claim.

Like I said, I wonder what the uproar would be like if the roles were reversed and he came down pitlane wanting to confront her little *** that way. There'd prolly be a ******* Congressional inquiry.

TransAm and CanAm racing series used to be great at one point, too, just like Indy. But it isn't 1970 anymore.
Now at Indy there isn't much to watch, but Danica is one of the few drivers I have even heard of these days, and some idiot bunted her out of the race by hitting her car on the pit lane. At least people have heard of her. She is a human interest story, if not the best driver out there.

I don't follow the sport the way I once did, and let my subscriptions to Autoweek, Road and Track, Car and Driver, and a couple of others die out years ago.
So I am a casual, uninformed fan at this point. Still try to watch Indy, but it isn't easy these past 10-15 years.
You are probably right about the excellence of those other series, but they don't get the media's attention, and most of them aren't on Speed channel, which I still pay for to get F1.

 

[accuratehorn]

I'll try to check them out-might find something new to watch.

 

[Uninformed]

What do you think of my pic of the event?

 

[Uninformed]

Yeah, I like yours too. However, I was happy with how my pics turned out. I have a few good ones of pit stops by Dixon and such.

Hopefully the qualifying at Milwaukee means it's going to be a competitive race today. 2 of the top 4 spots taken by former Champ driver. Rahal was on pole until Marco took over, who ran 2nd to last on the day.

Ank - I know you hate her, but I love that gif. Makes me crack up every time.
