My grandmother actually. Po Tah toe and To Mah toe. She always spoke a more proper english but that was also due to being raised a socialite and hiding a german accent. Of course the nuns also wrapped her knuckles any time she atempted to write with her dominant left hand. She also barely had a serious bone in her body, so it was always assumed to be tongue in cheek.


I'm a spud fan myself. Fraaahd spuds. Mashed spuds. baked spuds. home fraaahd spuds.

Proper English? Is that what your mom told you?

Hate to burst you bubble but that "proper English" was actually a speech impediment.

Typically, the driver gets a salary, and around 40% of winnings. Since the Leader card program was established, Indy and the series Championship pay out cash awards.

Penske, TCGR, Andretti's RHR/MA/JH, Coyne/Wilson, KV Racing, SPM, Herta, Dragon/Bourdais, D&R, Panther, SFH, and Foyt pay their drivers.

Some bring money via their relationships like Graham and Kimbal. Others pay to drive (Jakes, Viso, etc.)

That said, some drivers get personal sponsorship as well.
