Fogarty Passed on Rahal IRL ride

[nrc]

According to the announcers on the SpeedTV Atlantics coverage, Jon Fogarty turned down the Rahal IRL ride to stay in Atlantics. I hope Jon gets a shot at Champ Car some day. :thumbup:

[Amanda B.'s Mom]

I have a lot of respect for Jon on that move!

[Jay]

I guess he cares about his health more than his paycheque. Good on 'em! :thumbup: I haven't followed his career as much as some of the others in Atlantic, but I hope he find his way somewhere to move to - maybe sportscars?

That guy needs to be in Champ Cars.
:thumbup:

That left me wondering about his reason for not taking the deal. Was it because it's the IRL, or because it's Bobby Rahal????

[JLMannin]

Perhaps he did not like the prospect of titanium plates and screws holding his spine immobile.

Just a wild guess.

He skipped the offer b/c he knows what Bobby expects from his "young prospects" in the trailer at night and he didn't want to learn to use kneepads :rofl:
