Another good read: Link Removed Falls in sync with the Springer/WWF analogies. In essence...we already have NASCAR and WWF, where controversy reigns as entertainment. The 500 is supposed to be regal and above reproach. If not, make it so. Edit: Link should work now, if not, click on...

Just fantastic pics, Seth. Looks like you had some envious seats.

Your wire-style coverage is amazing, Michael. Which site/radio/tv station are your getting this detailed, near-real-time info? Perhaps we can find precedance in the Bobby Unser controversy. But at that time, the director of operations wasn't a former Penske employee.

BTW...who could've envisioned Scheckter to dominate as he did. Escpecially coming off of a suspension. When you look at the key players that played a dominant role in the race, you've got the following: 1. Bruno (CART) 2. Kanaan (CART) 3. Tracy (CART) 4. Giaffone (Foreigner driving for...

Yeah, that's the reason I have a love/hate relationship with CART. They allowed/followed their dunderhead leadership to the brink of extinction. And in this dawn of fiscal atrophy, followed their greed to obsolescence. Throwing away all of the political, open-wheel bickering over supremacy...

Much like F1, some of the real drama happens in the post-race press conference. And much of the self-contradiction. ABC/ESPN signed IRL on until 2007. In this era of diminishing sponsorship and ad dollars, this further sounds the death knell for CART. Tony George's primary reasons for...

Likewise. The ringing battle cry has been that Castroneves is good for the sport. Mainly because of his bubbly enthusiasm. But I prefer the quiet, zen-like approach of De Ferran and especially the ragged edge mindset of Tracy. De Ferran reminds me of Bjorn Borg, my favorite tennis player...

Anyone at all familiar with Tracy's CART history, he's infamous for his ragged edge driving. It's gotten him into many crashes and even suspensions in the past. In today's 500, he led a relatively quiet race for the first 150 laps. Even though he believed he was passed under yellow by...

If you haven't seen the race (and want to remain in suspense), don't read the following. Pretty damn fine race. It was tough to be a leader all day long (Junquiera, Kanaan, & Scheckter), and almost afflicted Castroneves. But, like at the cinema, it's been Spiderman's year all along. And...
