I hope that he gets more opportunities in the future.
Did you see the video? I have no dog in the fight, regardless of past history for both drivers, but it's clear that Skeen took Papis out along with himself.

Remeber that whole rollover thread that was supposed to be so clear cut? One camera angle does not tell the whole story. Just my opinion.

Well she IS in marketing after all...

Well played...now we just need a bunch of beer bellied drunkards yelling obscenities at each other while their toothless barefoot other haves scream from the trailer door...

NASCAR needs a Honey Boo Boo to keep the ratings up...

Agreed, having been Mike's CI for his first schools nine years ago, he has big talent, and he has experience running cars similar to the trucks, including testing. His racecraft is terrific, but as we all know, you have to keep your head, on-track and off of it...

In the realm of CRASHCAR she's a bona fide beauty...

She's cute enough. Even if she is young enough to be my, um....niece.

It is the author's job to communicate effectively. It read to me like he was clearly working to create a wedge. He said Skeen is one of "us," and said so because Max is the SIL of Emo Fittipaldi. Sure he effectively makes Skeen a sympathetic figure, he didn't need to demonize Max to do so. He did so by choice, which discredits him, IMHO.

Focus on what you want but I think you missed the point because you are blinded by the one sentence. The rest of the article talks exclusively of Skeen and Riggs and how the two are similarly talented guys getting on with the business of racing.

Not sure how saying "cannot relate to" is demonizing someone but I guess it's all about Papis, all 18 whole words when his name is mentioned.
