"A.J. Foyt wouldn’t interview with us and after interviewing some other
great drivers like Dan Gurney and Parnelli Jones, I understand why."

"Like myself, Friedman takes great confidence from the enthusiasm of the
fans. “I think that’s the most important thing. That’s what keeps it going.
Frankly, I don’t think the Champ Car people didn’t get it until quite recently
that we have this group of rabid, hardcore fans. It goes to the heart of
everything I want to do.”

Paper's dreams are coming true :thumbup:

"One that makes me very happy and excited is that I’ve recently become aware of what a character Paul Tracy’s mom Vivienne is. We thought it would be a hoot to get her involved in at least one of our commercials."

I must be missing something on this quote. Would someone care to elaborate?

I think it is fair to say that Foyt and Mario can't stand each other--the accromony coming mostly, but not exclusively, from Foyt. It is not CART vs. IRL. It's been going on since the early days of Mario's career. I'm sure Parnelli and Gurney made the producers aware of that.

I guess Foyt didn't want to not be first.

The best part for this piece about Adam was Adam's dream remake of a "Christmas Carol" in which Penske is visited by Mark Donahue in a Porsche 917-30 CanAM car pulled by reindeer, to remind ole Rog what racing is supposed to be about. Not about cookie cutter cars. :thumbup: :thumbup:
