    Marty Roth withdraws

    I am so upset that Marty Roth withdrew from the Detroit race after contacting the wall. I am truly glad he was not hurt . This has to be such a dark day for the IRL as he is such a household name in motor sports and has achieved so much stardom that it takes him hitting the barrier that he makes the breaking news catagory on AR1. Who cares . IRL must be desperate for press.

    Well, its not everyday that a competitor with a regular race seat is so slow that the officials have to advise him to not participate.

    I would like to know how this equates to the IRL being desperate for press ??? Any chance to portray the IRL as desperate for anything is seized upon by the haters even though in this case all it is is an announcement of a "driver" withdrawing. And if the IRL WERE desperate for press it would not be first announced on a pay site like AR1 with a dwindling subscription base.

    Have a nice day.
    HOO HOO HOO HOOSIERS !

    Was the accident that bad or is this the polite way of asking him not to race because he is so slow???

    Also, what about Scheckter? I saw he had no time too - is he running today??

    I think he probably damaged the car, but according to Autosport he was withdrawn on the advice of the officials due to not managing a clean lap the whole weekend.

    I would of rather seen Milka Duno withdraw. She is the worst driver out there for sure.

    Just cause she put the towel in the face of Danica and told DP to fkkkkkkoff on the TV is no reason to engage in a personal attack on her talent....
