the last busch series race?

One of them said that maybe IRL drivers are tired of drinking MILK so they want a little bit of beer when they celebrate and not milk, that could be a reason for moving to NASCAR. (im paraphrasing ok)

I thought it was stupid to say that, i mean its one of the most recognized signs of victory drinking THE MILK..i thought it was kinda uncalled for.

What do you think?

p.s. Im asking this not only for opinions but to keep the board alive!! =)

Who is going to replace Dario Franchitti on Andretti-Green?? Has the team announced it yet?

Do you think the new system of paying every full time team will work to increase the car count at races next year ? This question has probably already been presented here. But I have been away for a few months.

The tradition of the Indy 500 and Championship-level racing has been innovation and newness. Think about the rear-engine revolution in the 1960's, the Lotus turbines, the diesels back in the day, the John Barnard Chaparrals, etc....

.....it just seems kind of sad that top-level American open wheel racing is spec. Half of the fun, seeing the new cars every year, is gone.

What do you think? Will the innovation return to Indy- and Champ- car racing?

I've always said that attempting to regulate the economics of a sport by regulating its technology is doomed to failure. Look at NASCAR -- not that NASCAR is a failure by any stretch, but their teams spend the $$$ available to them, and always will. If you want to regulate budgets, well then regulate them sort of the way the NFL does the salary cap. If it's going to be a customer-car situation like CART was, then it's pretty easy to at least set the price a chassis, gearbox, and engine go for...

Post race interview, she blasted Milka Duno, saying that her car is too slow and needs to be removed from the track.
Not that I don't agree. But is it the role of a drivers wife, who happens to be a celebrity, to bad mouth other drivers?

Only 16 to 18 cars. I like indy car racing on the ovals. They are on the average of 30 mph faster then any other cars I watch on the same track. The finishes are almost always great.
I'm a die hard Nascar fan, but I still like this IRL racing on the ovals. I'd like to see more cars in each race and more races each year!!!

At the race track that is. Every time I see her celebrating a Dario Franchitti moment (i.e. Indy 500 with a see through dress and today with the poking nipple green dress) she is sans brassiere.

I'm a little surprised to read today that Michael and Marco blame Franchitti.

2007-08-30 03:56:45 · 10 answers · asked by Anonymous

Will Marco ever win an IRL championship? I know he's only been racing there for two years and he's only one won race is there any hope for him?

2007-08-17 03:49:53 · 17 answers · asked by Anonymous

I like Dario, and he's still the favorite for the championship, but after the last few races, he must be trying to get some bonus miles or something. Great thing that noone's gotten injured. Next race is Sonoma. Let's hope he's done with his frequent flier miles.

So I open the mail today and inside one letter from Infineon Raceway is a FREE Sunday raceday ticket to the Indy race at that track later this month. The thing has a $55 face value. Apparently I got it for buying a pair of the cheapest NASCAR tickets available to the race up there in June. Plus I get 20% off any other tickets I might want to buy.

How desperate must the IRL and Infineon be to get someone, ANYONE to come to the IRL race there if they're giving away free tickets to joe blow NASCAR fan like me? I mean I've heard of giving tickets to charities or corporate sponsors... but to average race fans? Ticket sales must be really slow to the Infineon race.

And her's a sub question, if this is the case, does IRL have any future on the west coast? Champ Car seems to be doing pretty good out here... but no IRL.

That race today was unbelievable. Danica had a 1 in 7 chance to win it at the end and she may have had the second best car left in the runing. She was GUARANTEED at least 3rd place with the way things were playing out. I think she is doomed to a career of mediocracy and it may not be her fault.
