what about all the DNF's Marco had in 2007? He had something like 10 DNF's and had several crashes that year.

No one said that Marco shouldn't be allowed to drive again in 2007 so why should Mario not be allowed when Marco had those same issues a couple years ago?

He never has anyplace to go. Maybe he should try community college!

No fault, again and again, from sea to shining sea-

... Just took him out, and he was crying, I watched it live on tv. That guy made so many stupid moves in his time in indycar it was amazing. Remember EJ viso at Toronto that year, I mean, I could go on all day and why Mario Moreas is an idiot. Guess my first post didn't all fit, so I finished up ;)

I'm glad that idiot Moreas is gone. First lap of the 500, everybody knows they they are starting 3 wide, Moreas should have known a car was there, Marco couldn't give any new space. And guys you can't always just jump out of it at the start of Indy and get single file. Everybody is 3 wide for rows and rows, single file by the first turn just won't happen. Marco started up there, Moreas started in the inside, 100% Marios bad. Then he went and cried about it after wards and said how Marco ju

Their driving two hundred miles an hour and we try to say what they did wrong .

oh come on guys even if it's the first lap you may overtake on the outside. it definitely was not a stupid move of marco and if mario doesn't give him enough room then it's mario's fault. I mean they were racing side by side so it's clear, isn't it?

[jbracer86]

with that in mind, Marco and Morales should know that going into the first turn that going side by side with this configuration of cars and the narrow turn one that its smarter just to lift and let the other driver by and go after them later in the race, considering there is still 500 miles remaining. That pass on lap one wasn't crucial for each driver's overall result in the race.

[jbracer86]

it sucks what happens, both sides could point fingers, but what the problem is that its been more and more difficult for 2 cars to stay side by side at indy in the corners for quite a few years now One car ends up washing up high into the other car look at most of the accidents that have hapened during the 500s between like 06-10 and youll see a common trend they need to get rid of that grass and put the apron back, and these cars cant be so aero sensitive in the turns when side by side also,

50/50 both mens mistakes

andretti shouldnt try this first round first turn

moraes should have known who/if there is anyone on his 4

both are obviously not experienced enough to know that the "500 in Indy500 stands for 500Miles and not 500Yards

Marco Andretti couldn't drive his way out of a paper bag
