Name a rich person that hasn't. Taxes are bad anyway, nobody gives much of a gently caress if someone tries to not pay them... :smug:

A good read.

Davey's great in the radio booth, too. Especially when he mentions running pretty much every car he could get a deal to drive during the Copper World Classic.

I think the red was good. It is what they always do. Every car refired but one, maybe Penske should look into some more ECU cooling! They should let them get the driver cooling faster though.

Suffer not the unclean to live.
I think they threw the red for Grosjean's crash because it was in a very narrow corner, which I don't necessarily disagree with, but they should've let Power's pit guy throw the fan on the car. He was standing right there with it and the official wouldn't let him do it until they got everyone parked, and that just nuked the ECU apparently.

Also, why the gently caress is Indycar coverage being eclipsed by goddamn lacrosse and tennis? gently caress this poo poo.

Well you see the sport that regularly turns 14 year old girls into drug addicts by 17 is such a good media partner that they told another teen girl to either answer invasive questions from massaganistic reports or be banned from grand slam tourney la dispite her menatal health concerns

I'm not buying that the heat is what killed the ECU. The rest of the cars were fine, the fan they were asking for wasn't for the car, it was for the man, and it wasn't THAT hot. The humidity plus heat can make people very uncomfortable, but moderate heat + humidity isn't going to kill an ECU. The temperature was only in the 70s.

Did you miss the theory that it overheated because his car is black?

The outro music into commercials really needs some work too after watching today's race. NBC needs to commit to making Indycar a safe, Uncle Kracker-free environment for everyone.

Good race though.

I'm glad the dude seems to have a sense of humor about it but watching that (and his body language) it sure felt like this was a deeper-rooted reaction to fire than it was "I want to save my car".

He was probably going to try to extinguish the brakes then drive back to pitroad and keep going cause he was actually having a good weekend and didn't want to retire... Not sure how that would play out though...

Got injured riding a bicycle.

At least that’s a slightly less stupid way of doing that than the MotoGP rider who was texting while cycling and ran into a van and injured himself.

You can go a long, long time back to find drivers who were once in Formula 1 and transitioned their careers to IndyCar full-time. Turns out F1 is hard, top seats are limited, and sponsorship money in the U.S. has been pretty good for IndyCar for a long time!

He was interviewing on the radio a month ago how he likes to ride in brown county a pretty rural rough biking trail area. Need for speed on bumpy dirt hill trails.
