During the race an incident between Paul Tracy (what else is new) and Mike Andretti happened in turn three. It seems thatTracy came down against Andretti, not only in the turn where the accident happened , but was actually swerving along the straight in an attempt to keep Andretti from gaining the position and an advantage. NOW FOR THE GOOD PART After the accident, it was clear that the television broadcast caught Andretti as he was talking to his crew, and he said , "THAT GUY'S " AN ***!" HE REALLY SAID THAT!!!! I WROTE IT ON THE PAPER I HAD ON THE TABLE. I AM SURE THE PROCTOLOGISTS BOARD OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION didn't pay Andretti to say that! What an adverti***t! If this sounds stupid, it is because it is. Off the cuff remarks made by the racing drivers are not to be made into something they are not. A statement about what TONY STEWART said about NASCAR 2 last week was made a big deal about . So what? Several Formula 1 drivers used GP2 to learn their way around thr tracks when IT came out, and I don't remember the need for me to go change my pants when that "exciting" revelation was announced. They are smart to utilize what is available to them to hone their skills. BUT These are STILL just COMPUTER GAMES when the final process is boiling down.

I'm not sure that I get the point of your post at all. Okay, understandable. Get punted off, feel a bit antagonistic towards the, er, . . .punter. Wow. Golly. A human being after all! Who'da thunk it? ?? You bet. What's the transition between the above paragraph and the one directly below? This left me scratching my head. Well, okay.

Actually, it was Paul Tracy who said that. Fairly typical for him. After the race however, it was obvious his team owner had had a chat with him, because good old Paul changed his tune. (clearly to avoid anymore trouble from the incident).
