What a shame! Not to pour out sour grapes but the fact that Milka Dunno outqualified some legitimate racers just goes to show what millions of dollars and superior technical support can do. Doubtless she is not the only billionaire (Roth) who has great equipment and support. I also don't want to be anti-female as I believe Patrick and Fisher are racers. I really hope that somebody out there realizes this and provides Buddy Lazier a good setup so he can get that car requalified. I also hope some deals get cut this morning so some other true racers can get in good cars and try and bump their way in. I was really disappointed to hear that the deal cutting may be over with already. Come on owners! Provide a car so some real drivers can make things exciting today. I think it would be totally awesome if this could happen and suddenly ole Milka would find herself right on the bubble. A driver like Lazier, provided he gets in, is going to mix it up with people whereas Milka is going follow Barnhart's explicit instructions and stay the heck out of the way. This sort of situation is exactly why Indy Car Racing has some more growing to do yet. We'll get there though and soon the whole field will be full of champions and racers.
