Indy is to blame for hacks like Danica taking up rides that much more talented and qualified drivers should have. It is pathetic that a two time Indy 500 winner and season champion like Weldon didn't have a full ride this year. That is all on Indy.
Chuck, you of all people should be in agreement that the IRL takes PART of the blame. You know 34 cars on a 1.5 mile oval like that is just too many. You saw how many drivers raised their concerns. the IRL did NOTHING to address it. Then adding a $5 Million bonus to any driver that starts from the back and wins, only adds to the danger and risks being taken.

However, as you said Dan wanted to win, and was willing to try and drive through the wreck and gain tons of spots, and I don't blame him.

I do agree with you on the IRL allowing no class, cunt bitches such as Danica holding a spot she's not worthy of. She won a single fucking race in her entire career in Indy, and that's because she caught a lucky break. I hope she fucks up in Nascar and goes down a road of despair and disappointment. She hates her fans, and is a real piece of shit when it comes to corner workers and officials alike. I remember watching multiple times at St. Pete when she would turn down autographs for little kids, or just straight up give them the cold shoulder. Fuck her and that horse she rode in on.

It's drivers like Dan Wheldon, and others like Scott Dixon that I want representing their sport. They're passionate, and want to win, and want to have people support them. I went to a Friday practice at St. Pete, and I Scott Dixon was walking from his car to the pit on the front straight, and I politely asked him for his autograph, and he chatted with me for 10 mins. What a badass. Seriously, it's people like him and Dan that make the IRL what is should be.
