Graham testing at NH? GP2 not looking so attractive? Just cashing a dead mans ethanol check in the IRL? Argent to CC?

This is not going to go over well on the dark side. I feel a tipping point coming on.

RM reported the same thing this evening on Speednews. Rahal was seen at both N/H and KK areas.

Yeah. Not quite the scenerio I had envisioned a few seasons back. Mario either, I'd imagine. :( ...but it's still a good thing! :)

Now there is a guy looking out for his kid's best interests irrregardless of his personal agenda, unlike a certain Michael Andretti.

Yet he is supposed to be a businessman owning a race team. F him and his son, his "me me me" attitude is the reason that open wheel racing is doing so lousy. Do you think that Rick Hendrick put the interests of Ricky's driving career above that of Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson?

Rick Hendrick certainly put his shaddy business dealings ahead of his team. The team did pretty well when he was home under house arrest. As Insomniac said, the value added of most team owners at a race probably isn't that high. There are exceptions to everthing of course.
