"Gil is a little banged up, but he's going to be all right," team owner Roger Penske said. "That was a pretty hard lick, but it's a testament to how safe these IRL cars are."A little banged up? :saywhat:
Safe IRL cars? :shakehead
I say we break Roger's back, give him a concussion, and see how "banged up" he feels. :mad:

Get out, Gil, please.

Crock.

Penske must either be going senile like Yates or just indulging in massive rationalizations.

One of the best things that could happen in American racing right now would be for the France Family to give Penske "The Call" for the Daytona 500 in 2004 and let him retire with what he believes to be all the marbles.

And the BY400 and the championship - all for Rusty. Lot's of free Miller swill for the masses.

When is Gil's contract up?

I thought that it was all scheduled for this year, but Penske South has been so mediocre for so long they might not be able to take advantage of The Call.

Remember that Penske is making the attenuators this year. He is not going to admit that any driver, even his own, had sever injuries from backing into a wall.

He is not going to open up to a liability like that now that he is the mfg. of a major safety component of the chassis.

Penski is an asswipe. Hopefully Gil will retire after the Indy 498.

Fourth.

Foyt Racing laptops slightly edged out the attenuators.

At Lemmingforum they are reporting that DeFerrin is out for Japan.

Yeah, just a little banged up. Good thing those IRL cars are so safe.:rolleyes:

Well, He never won the 500nert no way, so he must be some sort of sissyboy. Give us an AMerican an we will show them taco benders jest how to run a car on an oval. Maybe this Red Barrons guy will give them a big boost, to over come the Panther juggernaught.

Aren't all quotes from Penske BS? Also, looks like Barron is in for awhile
