Take A Good Look; This May Be A Footnote for 2008
Greetings again from Daytona...where the lash of NASCAR Justice fell upon Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch...with a six race probation for their antics in practice for the Budweiser Shootout on Friday. NASCAR Vice Presidents Jim Hunter (Corporate Communications) and Robin Pemberton (Competition) came into the media center where just a handful of reporters were working to make that announcement. This was their balance between "letting boys be boys" and the buttoning down of years past...but Pemberton intimated that further hi-jinks would not be tolerated.
The Panoz DP-01 (above driven by Graham Rahal), may become the world's fastest paperweight. Speed TV (Robin Miller) reports that Champ Car may be filing for bankruptcy protection as early as today, and that Anton H. "Tony" George is scheduled to return to Indianapolis tomorrow. Questions arise about exactly how many of Champ Car's events will fold into the IndyCar schedule...and how Honda (a BIG player in all of this--they control all the engines) will deal with rescheduling Motegi (which they control) so Long Beach can go forward under IRL sanction.
Again, if something should come down...we'll blog up...and have more on Race-Talk.
