CART looking for buyer
June 16, 2003
Apparently Chris Pook, with the help of Bear Stearns, is shopping for someone to buy the embattled CART series. The obvious choice here is Bernie Ecclestone. My favorite part of this article is when Tom Carter (current CFO of CART) blames the series woes on the economy…

Frank loves Juan
June 16, 2003
Now this is the type of favoritism I love to see. Frank loves Montoya. I think he is right though, I think Juan would have had a better run at MS. But hey, it is Juan’s fault for spinning out on lap 2! In any case, Ralf’s goose is cooked at Williams…

Dixon wins Pikes Peak
June 15, 2003
I told ya dat boy good! Dixon is the Kenseth of IRL. Never makes a lot of noise, but he is always there ready to take advantage of a situation and put himself in victory lane. And I don’t think there would have been a great deal of challenge from Kanaan even if the race finished under green.
And how about that great Scot Dario? A fourth place finish after sitting on his ass since early April isn’t bad!

Carpentier conquers Laguna Seca
June 15, 2003
Carpentier held off his team mate Paul Tracy as well as Bruno Junqueira to take a victory at Laguna Seca today. Sad to see that attempt at victory donuts. God I miss Zanardi.

Busch wins at Michigan
June 15, 2003
Man that “young gun” is good. Looks like Bobby Labonte is on fire again too. Speaking of Joe Gibbs racing, I think everyone needs to take note that BOTH the Gibbs teams are suddenly alive the past few weeks. Kenseth should be afraid. Very afraid. There is a long way to go yet.

June 15, 2003
Wow…that was scary to watch. You could see fire blazing inside the cockpit. I have never seen an engine blow like that before. Here’s a picture from NASCAR.com….
