From an emotional/fan perspective-which is somethng I try not to view things from very often-this decision stinks to high heaven. I didnt’ have a lot of respect for Andretti Autosport before-mostly due to their hiring decisions-but now I have even less respect for them. I still respect A.J. Foyt as a driver. As a car owner? Not so much anymore. I do understand he was funding the #41 car out of his own pocket, but that begs the question: if you couldn’t afford to run the car, A.J., why did you enter it?

I do not-unlike some people on an internet message board-view Andretti, Foyt and Ryan Hunter-Reay in the same vein as murderers; yes, that is the comparison being made by some on a message board. Nor do I wish RHR would crash in the race. I don’t root against anyone in INDYCAR-okay, maybe one driver-but I imagine when the introductions are made on Sunday, there will be a helping of boos mixed in with the cheers, not only for RHR, but for all of the other drivers on both AA and AJFR who are blameless for this PR nightmare.

I do understand that this is not the first time this has happened, and technically, it isn’t against the rules-hopefully Randy Bernard will change the rules after this debacle. But the bigger issue will be how AA, AJFR and DHL and Sun Drop, deal with the potential fallout from this situation. If the internet postings-message boards, twitter-are any indication, the above entities will be doing some major spinning in the next few days to try to repair their public reputations. I have a feeling, though, that this dirty won’t come clean for a long while.

And who really cares..RHR and his third rate team already showed the world last year that stunt of running out of fuel close to the finish line …it almost cost Mr. Conway his leg…and then RHR’s team mate cries his way to third place..some people might have actually required the prize go to Conway.

Then William Power was shoved to the wall and he lost his 2 million…no one cared about that either…It looks like Vegas wrestling.

Who cares? Just get them to please STOP talking about the poor cancer victims who are “loosing” their battles every day…Where is Roy BTW…I think I saw him puking at the pagoda.

BTW, DHL isn’t some third rate delivery service, it’s number one in Europe, and partially owned by the German Postal Service.

Indycar is not in the toliet. They may be in the pantry where no one can see them, but not in the toliet.

The fast nine was exciting and did make it better.

They’re trying many things to make the sport more interesting. But usually when they do, people complain that they’re changing.

I didn’t think it was a ghost town. It wasn’t 1965, but it wasn’t a ghost town.
