Where to begin with this article? :laugh:


ABC/ESPN convinced IRL officials to create a more compact schedule, and they delivered with 14 races in 25 weeks. Now the IRL must be rewarded.

Oh. My. God.


Series newcomer Patrick Carpentier was named the IRL's Rising Star

Ah yes, Patreek is still wet behind the ears & hasn't shown his full potential!


Danica Patrick became an instant celebrity when she nearly won the Indy 500 in May. Now promoters of all types, including her sponsors, will have time to properly plot a national campaign.

Since we didn't see enough of alsoranica this year, wait till '06!

I especially liked the Star's noting of a possibility for next year; "Ganassi Racing, which had 28 accidents this year, might do the same." :rofl:

Well, it usually results in a really big fish kill in the White River. :(

If Danica nearly won the Indy 500,I nearly won about 7 races this year on my local track. :gomer: I'm #4! I'm #4! I'm #4! :laugh:

(Dario gets the call)for next year. :laugh:

I'm glad that's settled. Perhaps now they won't put everyone through the pain of running next season.

The thought of Dario Franchitti being considered an ovalmeister just tickles me. :laugh:

Why do you continue to attempt, sometimes successfully, to hijack threads with all your Texas crap? Just wondering...

didn't think a joke about Danica with an allusion to General McLellan wussing out before Richmond would resonate as well :gomer:

Actually I think his post was actually on topic for once, though it was probably completely on accident. :laugh:
