Helio Castroneves dealt with his tax problems in a very effective way. He won his class in the Petit Le Mans event over the weekend. That makes me smile. Good luck with Helio and the legal fight that will occupy his off season. Hopefully he gets better advice for his legal defense than he got for his investments.
Karma: The Paul Tracy lawsuit against his former owner Gerald Forsythe. Tracy now understands he has to sleep in the bed he made. He had other options, but his bullheaded sense of pride kept him off the track more than he should have been. Driving those ‘crapwagons’ is not nearly as bad as he believes, as he discovered in Edmonton. Karma also kept him from winning Indy in ’02 as well.
Karma II: If you get a chance, read the lawsuit Paul filed. It sheds some very interesting light. Note to Neil and anyone still left on that particular Titanic: See what happens when you turn your backs on Indy? That fate befalls everyone who makes that mistake.
I watched Talladega between commercials in the NFL games, and was happy to see Stewart win even though the finish was controversial. Carl Edwards is starting to remind me of Ricky Bobby more every week. Talladega remains my favorite NASCAR-only large track.
The open wheel off season is getting more interesting all the time. Continuing reminder: Do not forget to contact your television service provider to get Versus included on basic tiers (near ESPN). We need to get those household carriage numbers UP.
