More to Dario’s story?
June 23, 2003
…well, no, not really. However, Robin Miller does have some interesting things to say about Dario’s future and why he has opted to take the rest of the season off and get his back back into shape once and for all. Also, at the botton of the page there is a note about Herta taking Dario’s ride for the rest of the season. Didn’t he just get a ride with a CART team????
Also of great interest is Miller’s note about the Panther/Chevy/Cosworth test. Apparently Sam Hornish was able to get an extra 5 mph out of Cosworth’s engine….

Heinz-Harald, the bench mark?
June 23, 2003
….and like all “benchmarks” he is more famous as a stationary object than as a race winning driver! The only thing exceeding racing budgets in F1 are the egos of mediocre drivers!
Heinz-Harald Frentzen, benchmark!!
Gordon vs Gordon
June 23, 2003
Let’s get it on. Anyone want to just see these two go behind the garage and go at it. Anyone want to guess who has more enemies in NASCAR?
One Gordon wins, other moves up spot in points
June 22, 2003
Outside pole sitter Robby Gordon wins at Sonoma. Jeff Gordon took the number two spot in points from Dale Jr. with his second place finish. It was a great day for Childress as the 29 and the 31 battled in the top 5 all day. Pole sitter Boris Said came in 6th. Here is the summary from NASCAR.com…
NASCAR.com: R. Gordon starts, closes well at Sonoma
Of course Robby’s win was not without some controversy provided by Jeff Gordon’s complaints regarding Robby racing back to the yellow when Christian Fittipaldi crashed (hey, isn’t Christian supposed to be a road racer???)….

Rusty and Sears Point
June 21, 2003
He may be losing his competitive edge but the man could allways tell a good story and has allways been a good interview. Read about some of Rusty’s antics at Sears Point.
Final Qualifying
June 21, 2003
Paul Tracy may be on pole but he has created some hostility on a track where anger does not do well. Mix in a little rain, stir gently and we have the potential for some explosive racing!
Happy Hour
June 21, 2003
The happy hour speeds were more or less consitent with qualifying.
