I hope they caught the son of a gun that did this.

Wow. What a jackwagon. Human nature is great...except sometimes for the humans.

What was that about Danica's drag bar?
So many jokes, so many inappropriate jokes.

That sucks.

I was at the track, and she actually drove a hell of a good race. Who knows if the shoe broke her suspension, but either way, a completely retarded move from one of the attendees.

BTW, speaking of completely retarded, Jacques Villeneuve, was by a mile the fatest car and driver on track yesterday. He was in company of some really good road racers too - sucks to get the Chrome Horn on the last lap and go from 1st to 3rd "just because you can". That's idiocy, not racing.

PS - the green/white/checker format, as everyone is fueled for the pre-determined number of schduled laps - what a crock. More time to head to commercial and flog Mountain Dew and Progressive Insurance, I guess. A rule designed by a 5-year old. Or maybe one of the France kids?

PPS - NASCAR's penchant (yeah, they would need a dictionary) for Yellow flags is laughable. It takes them 10 minutes to find our how to move one of their POS cars out of the way. I swear, hook it up by the wheel/suspension and drag it, kicking screaming and sparking out of the F'in way. Completely ridiculous. See comment above about commercial breaks.



Other than that, it was a beautiful day for racing...

Silly Canadians have been throwing shoes everywhere.

Probably thrown by one of the NASCRASH officials...makes the racing more exciting ya know...

Villineuve was more villain than victim, and had no place to be whining.

I can't help but think that when #30 got spun and "couldn't get the car started" he knew that Villineueve was out front and low on fuel. That's always a fun race to watch....too bad that the ringers that show for that race only sometimes mess it up for those competing for the championship.

Matt Lane

Note the difference, Tagliani was visibly overdriving and on his way to sideways on his own without any help. Not even close to Villeneuve's pace.

Not JV fan at all, and he probably does not deserve the Nationwide Courteous Drover award. Just bummed at sitting in the stands for 4 hours watching (insert non-factor in the race name here) take the flag.

If you thought Algaier was actually in the race at any moment, say in the top 5, then I guess we have different standards.

Cheers!

Shame, it would have been a popular win for Tag or Jacques, whatever the circumstance.

mglobe

Don't disagree with you much at all. Villeneuve, Hornish, Tagliani, and Danica all deserved a shot at winning the race more than Algaier. Pity DP's car fell apart, as a race between her and Jacque lePuntier would have been a good one to watch. Algaier was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.

Actually,

I heard Bernie was there since F1 is on hiatus. He was trying out a new way to make the races exciting since the water sprinkler idea was shot down.

Won't argue that he was the class of the field...or at least of the cars that were still running. My father was actually a really big fan of his and I watched him a good bit growing up and think he's great, however what happened to him was exactly what he did to Danica last week at Road America. In too deep, axle hop and the car in front is the innocent victom. Sucks it came back to bite him because he did deserve the win Sunday but it is what it is.
