Consider this scenario… Dario wins race number 1 and is feeling pretty good as he did well in the championship because Will had a fuel pickup problem and finished 30th. The field is inverted. Will starts race number 2 from the poll with a fixed car and Dario starts last. Does Dario complain?

I’m okay with the random draw. There are better ways to do it (fastest lap in race 1, two laps of quali’s, or inversion) but it’s Texas, passing is possible. There are a ton of unfair things in Racing, and the Red Car dario drives is #1 on that list, so he can stop whining. As for the race it wasn’t nearly what I had hoped for but it was alright. If they had just shortened the gap between races it would have been better

The impression I’ve gotten of Dario–after Indy and then Texas–is that he comes across as a whiner.

I would like to add the words, “…or disingenuous…” after the word “cowardly”. They allow my point to be completed more accurately.

Well, I’m probably not the best person to ask as I’m kind of a Curt Cavin Burger Bash type of guy. Some of the drivers like to go to Kopps on S. 76th street and Layton Ave. for burgers and custard. Friday night in Wisconsin is traditionally fish fry night with many places featuring fresh perch or trout from Lake Michigan. My initial suggestion for you is to go to the JSonline website (Milwaukee newspaper), click on “entertainment”, then click on “dining”. Among the many helpful tips there you will find the food critic’s list of the 30 best places to eat in the area with a map showing where they are. Have a safe trip and enjoy the racing. The track is a favorite of most drivers and owners. IndyCar did a smart thing by just renting the track for three days because the State Fair Park Board which manages the facility has not done a good job of promoting or choosing a promoter in recent years. I hope I have been of some help to you.

One more thing: Just because a driver …such as Franchitti or Tracy …chooses to publicly state the facts as he sees them, it does not necessarily make him a whiner or a poor sport. It just means he’s not afraid to say what’s on his mind; whereas others might think the same, but are too cowardly to say so.

I’m sorry, but blind draws to set the field in a race where championships and a lot of money is at stake is just not the right way to go. YES, I’M TALKING TO YOU, RANDY BERNARD. Those who are determined to pursue a flirtation with Lady Luck should go to a casino. In IndyCar, efforts should be made toward minimizing the “luck factor”, rather than promoting it. In this case, I completely agree with Dario: even though not a perfect scenario (no scheme imaginable could or would be free of shortcomings), inverting the field would have made much more sense in terms of fairness to the drivers/teams competing for championship points. I personally would rather see the series dispense with embracing the NASCAR-type gimmicks. However, since such gimmicks to engage fan interest seem to be the trend, if a twin bill is again chosen to be presented (and I do actually like this idea for further consideration, at one, perhaps two, mile-and-a-half super-speedway ovals in a 20-race season), then I suggest setting the field for BOTH races with the previous day’s qualifying runs — thereby maximizing the “merit factor”.

If this was more than one race a year, or if we had fans lined up to buy tickets and watch races on TV, I would agree. Aside from the drawing process taking too long, I can live with it if it adds INTEREST! Even my wife, not the biggest fan of INDYCAR, (other than watching me be intersted,) paid attention to the too-long between-race festivities. Check my post for my take.

Hey Ron Ford,sounds like you are from Milwaukee area maybe from previous posts, do you have a great place to dine in the area? Coming up from Indy for the race weekend.
