500 Predictions

Indy 500 prediction. Winner-Who-Lee-Oh, Bruno or Michael. Biggest crybaby after the race-Michael if he didn't win, Paul Tracy-when he doesn't win.

Chip Ganassi

Is Chip Ganassi the best owner in auto racing? Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing is clear; he owns the two hottest race teams in America right now. This weekend, he is sitting pretty with the pole winner at Indianapolis and is in the Winston Cup All-Star race tomorrow! That fuck! How did he get here? Oil as far as I am told… who cares?!! All I know is that this man has employed countless employees such as Juan Montoya., Jimmy ”I wish I still had the best ride” Vasser and Sterding(sic) Marlin. Other than Vasser, well..he's a POC now but Ganassi is hot. Okay?. With Bruno on the Pole at Indy and Silverfish leading the Cup series, FUCK! But what make Chip great is his life philosophy. When he sees it he goes after it! He says he got it from his dad. Don't know. But his balls out philosophy is good for racing, good for me and good for America! I wish HE owned the Colts or at least an F1 team! GO GANASSI RACING…or whatever the fuck it's called!

Race Time Again!

Here we are, back to action at the Speedway. 24 are in and by my last count, 19 wanting in. Of course out of that 24 that are in, there are a few that are about as nervous as a whore in church. I have to admit, I thought 226 would have been plenty fast enough to get in the field, but the way things happened last weekend, that number may be a little low. There are still some very fast guys that need to make qualifying attempts. Should make for a pretty good weekend show!

It's been a nice couple of weeks without taxi cab racing and we get yet another whole week of it. Sure those boys have their little Winston down at the Lowes Motor Speedway on Saturday night, but it is a non points paying race and it's okay to miss. Don't get me wrong, I like NASCAR, but give me the real races that mean the difference between winning the Winston Cup and not!

Finally a word about the Euros. The major outcry this week over what happened at the A-1 Ring in Austria should come as no surprise to anyone that has followed F-1 racing at all. F-1 teams always have two drivers and only one of them can be Number One. Since securing the championship (driver first obviously) is the number one goal, then the order to have Rubens let Schummi pass was the right decision. Is it right that there are "team orders"? Well how do you prove that there really is? Ferrari flatly stated that they could have brought Rubens in for a pit stop and avoided the controversy, thereby skirting the issue. My only question is "Why didn't you?". It was embarrassing for motor sports in general and F-1 in particular. Enough people out there don't think auto racing is a sport without some dumbass Italians providing emphasis to their argument. Nothing will come of this as nothing has come from team orders as long as they have been racing. But let's face it, it's just not sporting and that sucks!
