Unlike Mario in his late years, Tracy still is a threat to take the pole position in qualifying. Unlike Mario in his late years, Tracy has been able to be top six on the grid.
Like Tracy or not, fans at the track never counted Tracy out in qualifying or his chance to win the race.

It appears that Danica Patrick fans don't want to make it any harder for her. I can't blame them.
But at least admit this is your reason for not wanting a talented driver to enter the series."For 80 years this place has run on tradition. From today forward it will run as a business." - Tony George (Failed businessman)

Why does the "helmet" have to show up in almost any thread?
PT torched lots of bridges, said lots of outrageous things, bashed the IRL, is now past his prime, and somehow thinks he still deserves a top ride? With his history and age, he should be glad to be able to race anything. No doubt he is entertaining and his wrestling mask last year was almost priceless, but he isn't at the top anymore and there are lots of driver who have a future who are looking for rides. He has a past. There comes a point when every driver retires. Sometimes it is by choice and sometimes it is circumstance.
It is time to build the drivers of the future, not dream about the drivers of the past. Let PT gracefully take his proper place in racing history and let us remember him at his best, not as a aging driver trying to cling to a career and being known for his clowning around and not his talent.I read it on the internet, so it must be true

I am a huge PT fan and have been for many years. You want reality tv, then how about Danica jumping in PT's face. Most of us realize that skill is important for our series, but unfortunately, skill and ability are no longer the key to racing in this day and age. Marketability, then skill, is the key factor. PT is popular and can sell tickets, and that is why Walker and TG want him in Edmonton.
