Peeps, the race ran short, there was thirty minutes of broadcast time left and the people in the television truck yelled, "Somebody start a fight; we still got commercials to run and we're gonna' lose our audience to Tiger's golf match on CBS."
It was quick thinking on the part of the Penske and AGR Teams to start the fracas, steal the spotlight from Target Ganassi and get their logos in front of the cameras. Seven Eleven, Firestone, Motorola, Centurion, Camping World, Kodak, Honda, Mobil 1, Vonage, Bryant, Kraft and NYSE will be happy to pay the fines.
Team Penske needs to get Sam Sr. into some endorsement wear; he was a perfect opportunity wasted, although he should be in line for a bonus from IRL for seizing the moment and going down for The League. Headlines at eleven and more on ESPN and the Early Show.
PS. Team Penske's crew has way too much wasted space on their Yunees.

DADDY'S BABY BOY
Hornish is a big baby. Dad should be banned from the pits for life. Tony just wanted to talk DADDY'S BOY. AJ would have hit both of them! Penske is just mad that there not the top of the IRL no more. AGR is the one on top!

Hey Jen
I was reading these comments and ran across Jen's brialliant posting, and would like to add to her well thought out no bias post point by point as she has blessed us with.
1) What cheating incident with Penske are you refering to? I'm all ears, but can't help but think it has more to do with jeolusy because Penske has won Indy 13 more times then Mario, Michael and Marco and wasn't Mario's win rain shortened?
2) Give me a break! Were was TK's crewwhen this all went on? You got to love AGR sending in their Indy Lights Driver to take care of a 60 year old man!
3.) Yea Michael looked great right in the middle , the same class I would expect from every owner.
4.) Maybe Marco should control his crew, they were the ones Involved, but then again with so many DNF's you probably would have alot of pent up frustrations this year,
5.) Yea , Marco's Mom looked like a real saint, I have her in the same catagory as Mother Teresa, but then again if Michael shows the same professional conduct as the other owners She isn't even involved.
I hope the next time Jen post she takes the AGR binders off................

Fine Kanaan but not Hornish
I'll take Sam's side on this one. Fine Kanaan & make Sam's dad watch from the stands for a few races.

TK and Sam Sr. fault
1- Sam is the better driver in IRL. That´s my opinion and I don´t understand people talking about he is a cheater.
2-The racing incident..is that. An incident that happens all the time. In the previous race he was the victim.
3-TK throwing his car over Sam´s car when race was finished is inadmissible. It should be fined.
4-Never. Never Sam used violence. Look at his hands. Never tried to make contact with Tony.
5-Sam Sr. should be banned from pits. Period.
6-Sam Sr. is a major. He was wrong, but still he deserves respect. A gentlemen should no hit an old man.
7-Marco is a great guy.

Great stuff
That's exactly what I wanted to see...half way through the season and real hearts and emotions on display. Those guys were intense and I loved it! I don't think we want it every week, but some toughness and soul after a tough, tough race is right on the money.
Great race by Dixon! Hornish is a great racer and I hope he stays. TK lacks talent, but races hard!
I love it. Can't wait till Mid-Ohio!!!!!

PENSKE SUCKS!
First off I hate team penske, always have and always will. It is never their fault, they do nothing wrong. I am so glad someone finally stood up to them. Hornish is a baby and his dad deserved to get dropped. GO TK and Andretti Green!

IRL / Nascar
If this was a Nascar race everyone would be fined and suspended! Will anything be done about this?
