IndyCar - Watkins Glen - Controversial crash

"The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion; those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not," Cheever said. "I'm not perfect, and neither are my accusers. Let's get back to racing."

thank god cheever is now in the booth

[happytobe75]

oh my god that is the most ignorant sttement i've ever heard. micheal has over 30 cart wins, chever less then 5 wins. if that doesn't tell you whose the better driver then your a dumbe ass fucked up butt fucking ass licker. go to hell with your un proven statement. On the issue of F1, Micheal left F1 because MaClaren wasnt backing him up. they put all their resources to the other driver Mika. Not to mention MaClaren was doing shitty during the 90's.

Stupid place to pass. Slowest turn on the track at the top of the hill. Where was Marco going to go? I have raced WG and outside heading into that turn is NOT the place to be. Cheever should have been looking in his mirrors but I am sure he never expected Marco to be outside heading up the hill. Dumb!

this is THE KID's fault. that was a stupid place to pass early in the race. thats not much of a straight and the car on the left has to get immediately to the right to take the next turn. inexperienced impatient kid.

It's an odd wreck, Cheever was runnin the racing line when you consider the water. When they ask what was he doing, he was moving over wide to get an angle on the corner, he had just gotten to the point he'd miss the water and I doubt he thought anyone was taking a line that'd carry them through the water. No racing driver would run through a puddle that deep and for all intents and purposes that hunk of track wasn't there, it might as well have been grass. It was clumsy on both parts really.

Eddie did this on purpose you can tell because he goes so much out of his way to push andretti out he has to lock the brakes and looses the car on the following turn.maybe they have an out of track feud going on and they settled it on the track.

@lasersailor587, Blaming somebody else has always been the Andretti way. Michael never lived up to his name either. Never winning the 500. Mario should have won more than just 2 himself. Marco at least came close once.

I remember watching this live, Marco was killing everyone in the rain going so much faster than everyone else it was such a disappointment taking away what was a well deserved sure first win for Marco. Also at the end of the video, its hard to hear in this audio but when i watched it live you could hear the fans booing Cheaver and calling him names, that's what the thumb up was about.

[lasersailor587]

i like eddie but this was his fault but marco is the one who shouldnt be on the track he sucks at racing everytime he crashes its "never his fault" always someone eless fault a cry baby who will never live up to his name

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

Wow, Cheever is a complete moron, that's got to be the most intentional and dirty move I've ever seen in racing.
