Busch casualty
June 30, 2003
Connecticut’s own Randy Lajoie has been fired as driver from his Busch series ride. Damn shame, if you ask me. The pressures of not winning eventualy take their toll, former champion or not.
Cleveland under the lights
June 30, 2003
Cleveland lakefront airport will see for the first time a Cart race under the lights. Not just any lighting, temporary lighting brought in just for this event. And just when I begin to think Cart is getting it’s act together, I find out the telecast will be aired on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Great, a night race tape delayed until the next afternoon, when all the results are known. If it generates any kind of new viewer base it may be worth it. To me, if it ain’t live it ain’t worth watching!

Michael the Magnanimous
June 30, 2003
As previously pointed out in other articles Michael is accquiring diplomatic skills in his latest world championship quest.

His allmost praise like description of Juan Pablo’s pass is most commendable, unlike Coulthards whining over his own stupidty.

Kimi Raikkonen finally showed some emotion this weekend; unfortunately it was anger at losing his engine just 25 laps into the European Grand Prix. He is still hopeful that he can make up the ground he lost.

Kimi feels the rage
Michael advanced his points lead due to Kimi’s retirement, however he could have advanced further if not for a late race tangle with Montoya that spun the champion. However, Michael actually admits to being at fault in this incident and has defended Montoya’s move in the face of criticism from Ferrari team members.
Ralf’s win in Germany and several recent podium performances from both Williams drivers make Juan Pablo Montoya firm in his affirmation that Williams could fight Ferrari for the title this year.
David Coulthard has placed strong blame on Fernando Alonso for breaking too early causing the Scot to crash off the course to avoid hitting Alonso’s car. Alonso has denied fault and was backed up by his team principal Flavio Briatore. McLaren managing director Martin Whitmarsh accused Alonso of giving Coulthard a “brake test”.
