Nascar title Sponsor
June 11, 2003
I would, and still will, bet my last dollar on a beer company picking up the title sponsorship after RJR bails. Come on, the Nextel Cup?

LeMans Qualifying
June 11, 2003
Wouldn’t it be nice for old guys like me to see a front driver like the Panoz at least do well in the race? And ANYBODY, please, do in the Vette’s this year. A Ferrari win would be the capstone to a superb decade of racing.

WWF on Wheels

Just as the WWF needs bad guys to keep the customers interested, so does Nascar. After all there are no diiferences anymore between fords chevys dodges etc. How to perk-up interest? Remember Pearl Harbor?

Has there ever been a former active F1 champ who has bitched and moaned more than this guy? If there was I would love to know his name. Such talent and a total A-hole! Now that his contract is ending notice the changed tone and attitude?

Drag Racers Turning Corners?
June 11, 2003
RPM.ESPN is reporting that Ron Capps and Doug Kalitta have been approached by the IROC “braintrust” to drive that series. While it would be VERY cool to see if they could pull it off and be competitive, I would HARDLY call the people behind IROC a “braintrust.”

Since I am fairly new to NHRA I find it amazing that someone could come into an organization and make such a big impact so quickly. In other racing series it takes entire seasons to make such changes….but I guess I am not alone in my astonishment in how quickly Alan Johnson turned the US Army top fuel team around resulting in Tony Schumacher’s win this past weekend.
Hell…when I went to Englishtown this year I never even got to see the car run…now it is winning….

Scene of one of the greatest racing passes in history, Alex Zanardi at The corkscrew, last lap of course. If anyone has a better pass in mind, I’d like to hear about it.
