...some people. You never know that making funny or not ends up being a signature or a viral success. Just too bad my YouTube videos never go viral.

Anyhow, congratulations to the Chicagoland winner.

:lol:

Dale Earnhardt once said it doesn't matter if they say good or bad things, what matters is that they're talking about you (or something along those line)

Burn baby burn!
 
DirecTV did not renew it's contract with VS

No Indycar for me and thousands of other fans it seems
 
The next race is this Friday night as the IndyCar Series makes its only Japanese stop. In case you don't know who the defending race winner is, here's a quote:

"Boys, move over! The lady is coming through!"

(This lady) is well out of title contention for this season, but any favorites to win at Motegi this weekend?

So Milka Duno is the defending race winner(?)

Everyone knows who won last year and I very much doubt that anyone would let her do what she did again. Danica only won that race because Castroneves didn't come in on lap 149 when she did.

I am going to say that TK is due a win, Marco Andretti is due a win but the realistic winner is going to be either of the Penske of Gannasi boys

I don't think she even ran Motegi last year.

So?

She still won the race, got the trophy and the money.

I agree with Kanaan being overdue for a win, but AGR are way off this year, they can't even contend for wins.

The Ganassi/Penske domination continues.
 
You know, it still amazes me how some people talk about Danica's win like it was given away to her. I've been a supporter of Danica while most others think she's just camera fodder. Yeah, she hasn't won every last race. Yeah, she's not a favorite to win every race. But come on... she's not terrible. Fuel situation or not, she won last year. End of story. But even as Danica said, "I can't please everybody." If she wins another race, I want to know what excuses there will be. Do you want her to win or not? Do you want her to compete or not? Where's the sportsmanship? I don't hear people complaining when Dale Jr. doesn't finish well or when Marco Andretti doesn't finish well. Why Danica?

Still, I hope all teams and drivers will do well this weekend in Japan.
 
Congrats to Scotty and Dario, bad luck to to the Briscoe Inferno, but we get what i think is right, down to the wire in Homestead
 
I COMPLETELY forgot about the race at Motegi! But I did look to see who won from Yahoo! Sports. Found out the defending race winner, Danica Patrick, finished 6th. Guess we rev it up one more time this season down into South Florida, yes?
 
I knew the race was on, but completely forgot that we here in NZ were getting live coverage of it :|

Still, way to go Scott... Briscoe you idiot. :lol:
 
Get ready and get set because we are gonna crank it up one last time this season as we head to Homestead

It's Ganassi vs Penske, Dixon, ve Franchetti vs Briscoe

Dario to win and I say this because of what happened when he last won the title'

There were three challengers then, Franchetti and Kannan, both with AGR, and Dixon, driving for Ganassi. That team, he beat his teammate and Dixon, only because the Kiwi ran out of fuel.

Dizon was fastest in practice leading up to the finale at Chicagoland in 2007, this year Dixon has been dominating practice again according to Mr. Franchetti when he gave his interview to the guys doing the commentary for Motors TV during the Petit Le Mans

The only difference this time is that in 2007, Franchetti was leading by three and this year, he is behind by five.

What do we think?
 
So I don't forget... last I heard, Danica Patrick signed a three-year deal to stay with Andretti-Green Racing. Maybe she feels she's found the team where she can stay competitive. As for the three-way title fight... I'm going with Dario Franchitti.

It's sort of a tossup to be honest, the last few years, the season finale was at Chicagoland, this year it's at Homestead.

Not to mention the cars are different with the modified aero package and the push-to-pass the championship is probably gonna go down to the last lap like it did back in '07.

She did, but there's still a lot of rumors going around that she is still going to race NASCAR part time.
 
Driven would have been a better movie if somebody besides Stallone played the role of the veteran driver.
 
So I'm watching the race on indycar.com for the first time. Features are great - all the driver in car cameras and such - but my goodness, the adverts are terrible :lol: Not the frequency or them or anything, they're just amusingly rubbish.

Edit: Awesome! A Brit on top once more 👍

What a moronic strategy call from Target and Penske.

Spoiler for those who haven't seen the final result yet.
Dario wins after Scott and Ryan have to pit in the final 10 for fuel.
 
Congrats to the awesome Scot Dario Franchetti.

Dixon and Briscoe, we LAUGH in your face! And Dixon is supposedly the best at saving fuel!
 
I wanted to punch my computer screen when I heard Dixon's team say "fuel position 1" around lap 170. They thought they were going to run out, and going to position 1 would guarantee it :indiff:
