Cheever's Tough Words for Scheckter

IRL: Eddie Cheever is not pleased that Thomas Scheckter has crashed six cars -
five in races - this year.

"This is not a video game.  Every time he wrecks we can't just put in a new
cartridge and start over.  These incidents have decimated our company."

I thought that comment was interesting...

Especially considering that  Cheever himself is the cause of at least one of
those.

Based on today's results, I think if I were Scheckter I'd throw the
proverbial keys in Cheever's chest, tell him what he can do & quit his
organization.  Maybe I'm just too hotheaded. <g>

A lotta people poke fun, and that's alright
But when I start pokin' back they get all uptight
You can't cap with the master, son
So sit your ass down before I blast you one

AWESOME finish!  Cheever needs to set down next week and race Rice and Sheckter.

Man I thought Sarah might get it for a bit :)

Maybe Cheever needs to spend more time working on getting Tomas to finish
races instead of ***ing at the guy.  The kid has lead like 400+ laps this
year.  Eddie has not lead that many laps, but he is telling this kid to cool
it.  Eddie is an idiot.

Me too. She was a little unlucky to have to get out of the throttle at one
point which dropped her back down the field. Those last 30 laps were
absolutely fantastic. The racing was close and aggressive. I really thought
there was going to be a crash behind Sarah at one point leaving her to take
the win.

Congrats to Tomas Scheckter on his first win and of course to Buddy Rice in
hos first IRL race on taking 2nd spot with a superb last corner pass.

I tell you what...

A lot of people tend to bash the IRL on this newsgroup, but you can't deny
the racing is absolutely awesome, week after week!

Great race, congratulations Tomas!!!
I agree, Eddie should hang up his helmet (except maybe for a run at Indy
next year) and let those two rookies have at it!

Cartridge?

Kind of fitting since IRL is the obsolete system of racing.

Pardon my ignorance, since I don't follow the IRL, but is Thomas
related to Jody by chance?

Especially since he crashed out today :)

I'll say this.  The last 30 laps of that IRL race were some of the most
exciting I've seen ALL YEAR!

The racing schedules stunk today.  The dual-feed UltimateTV was getting a
workout today :)

Never could fit in the CART race, but I think it's being replayed tonight.

I actually wanted to see her win.  That would have been cool...
