Milwaukee Mile


Let's think about the IRL for just a minute.
The thought of removing Tony George is kind of crazy at this time.
I have to say that I can not even think of a Indy Car Series without Tony.
The thought is not so good for the sport. I know that the sport is in trouble and has it's down sides. Like same engines and frames and tires? The races are like big go carts with some major horse power. Innovation has gone to the wast side, and things are a bit nuts with Brian Bonhart. I was helping someone this year and trying to get this great driver a ride and you would not of believed some of the lies that some of the team owners claimed to this great driver but passed on the driver for someone else that did not have what this driver had in talent but had just a little more money of lies. Brian Bonhart promising team owners free insurance if they go with this or that driver then falling apart because he did not get it approved from the higher up? Brian Bonhart made a lot of promises he just could not keep this year. This is the person that should go not Tony George. Tony George is the man that kept the sport alive to this point. Tony just needs to quit babying this team owners that can not afford to be a team owner. Drivers should be place with team owners that can afford to be a team owner not because I have money and I am a driver syndrome. Milwaukee mile put on another good show this weekend and was very inexpensive to boot. The big three teams were wonderful again. But a side note, AJ Foyt team made a great move by putting Paul Tracy in the car, and I hope he stays their so that team will get back to being one of the greatest team in sports today. Paul Tracy did have a tough day but I think in time this could be a win win situation.

This year at the Indy 500


This year was a great race and we did have a great time. The weather was very hot and so was the action on the track. The three ladies of racing did real well and even great. We had some tragedies and miss haps in some of the turns. I was very happy over the drivers we were supporting this year and how nice they were to the sponsors we brought to this years race. The fans this year were all into who they were hoping to win. All that was said and done for the cheering when car number 3 had the lead at the end of the race and some fans that were around me were so happy they were crying with joy. Not everyone likes Penske,but their are no complaints about Helio Castroneves the winner of the 2009 Indianapolis 500. I noticed that my wife was so happy that Helio won Renee lean over to me and said that now that was worth the heat all day to see that Helio Castroneves over came so much and that he was able to focus on winning and then she had a tear come out of her eye. Then I knew I have married a wonderful race fan. I know next year should even be better just like every year I walk away happy. I want to feel that driver do not have to buy their rides. I know this year that the winner did not buy his ride and other team should follow suit. This race should supply the best drivers not the drivers that have the most money. The teams should have a funding situation that sustains each year. When everyone will support their driver because the fan thinks that driver was the best for that team, not how much money that the driver brought to the team. Why is it that three teams can only see this? I will keep praying for this matter every day and night. I think we are very close to the answer though and I will keep you posted on the business at hand. Thank you lord for such a good race this year for what we had to deal with. For example one driver did not even know he caused the wreck at the start of the race and was going to confront the driver that he ran into and blame the driver that really had a chance to win this race. You tell me if we have the best drivers now?
