IndyCar Series - 2007 Detroit Indy Grand Prix - Part 8 of 8

Andretti should really shut his fucking trap. Dixon spun, the car came back across the track, and hit Dario. You don't "intentionally" take someone out when you spin. But hey, Andretti is the guy who keeps Danica and his idiot son on the team while firing his best driver Kanaan, so I guess he's the expert.

@TheCarlsonsRaiders

gee, where did Danica finish in this race? 2nd not bad I should think!

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

@gijoeman22 She lucked into second with the Dixon/Franchitti/Rice incident. She's a good driver on occasion, but mostly she's nothing more than a mid-fielder, Kanaan was top of the crop, Andretti made the wrong choice.

[gijoeman22]

@TheCarlsonsRaiders she was running 5th anyways, she didnt luck into anything! the other drivers screwed up

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

@gijoeman22 Well, at least she's gone off to NASCAR now, her seat can be filled by a real talent, who may win more than one race in their career.

@TheCarlsonsRaiders That's the result of a heat of the moment interview conducted by TV genius Vince Welch, who just couldn't wait 5 minutes to shove a microphone into the face of an understandably pissed Michael Andretti.

Apparently you missed the Iowa Indy 250 in June, when Michael's "idiot son" drove like an Andretti through the heavy traffic all night and won.

@UberAntisocialist Two victories, five years apart, that doesn't make him a good driver.

@TheCarlsonsRaiders Sure, he falls short of Grandpa and Dad (few don't), but with 655 laps led he's ahead of Wilson, Guerrero, Papis, Carpentier, & Rice (all with > 100 starts) on the all-time lap leader list. I'm not cheerleading Marco, but he's FAR from being a wanker.

It was great to see him and Graham near or in the lead so often last year; I hope the DW12 suits both of them.

What a shame for Buddy Rice, 2nd would have been a great finish for him, since he hadn't won since 2004.
