I never cared for Bruno J. back in the CART days but I think this guy deserves way better. Indy has just been play rotten to him and he deserves better. I hope he gets a few bucks out of the deal.
Michael A's management skills are??? Something's rotten at AA. Fire Anderson now or after Indy? Let's destabilize things as much as we can before the big one.
North American blitz by drivers an awesome idea. Tagliani, Hinchcliffe and Tracy front and centre today in Toronto. Go Canada!!!
I saw that interview as well, and when the camera held onto RHR, he pointed to the car, and the camera followed. Sponsor exposure...Quote:

My favorite part.
Yea...Right. You help other teams with parts and mechanics. Giving up your slot only means it was all about the Cash!!!Quote:
“We’ve been competitors for many years but still it’s the kind of relationship when someone is really down and out, you can’t turn your back on them—at least I can’t,” .......... “This is going back to the way racing used to be, where if people were in a lot of trouble, you tried to help each other out. I know it’s a tough deal for Bruno but he understood the situation. I appreciate that more than anyone knows.”
I like Ryan and I don't believe for a second that his not qualifying was due to a deficit in his driving skills, but this just plain sucks for Junky.
I know that, to a certain extent, this is a part of racing. On the other hand, for a competition that wants to be called a "sport", this sort of thing really demeans the integrity of it. The fact of the matter is, through talent, or equipment, or luck, or whatever, Bruno got into the Indy 500 and Hunter Reay did not. I like Ryan, but he did not drive fast enough to make it into the 500. That he will get in, and take out a driver that qualified faster, and has literally broken his neck at the place, just seems awful to me. I know there are sponsor issues, etc. that give this some legitimacy to the TEAMS. But to the fans, this is offensive and takes away the integrity of qualifying for the 500.

I might just try and keep Michael as far away as possible at this point in your Indy 500 effort.

I really hope somebody will give Bruno Junqueira a full-time ride next season. He's shown more than once to be a team player and to cooperate with the owner of his ride and be willing to do what the owner would like for him to do, along with simply being a consistently fast driver and willing to work to make the car better. Hopefully, a team like Conquest Racing, Dale Coyne Racing, HVM Racing, etc. will take him on-board and give him the full-time ride that he's overdue for.
damn, Money brings up its ugly head again, Bruno earned his way in, and with a Sponsor pushing to get in, AJ is too greedy to say no, this a major shame for. I think RHR is an ok, but I wish him no luck at all. Bruno earned his spot, its not his fault AA felt they could get in by being a half-assed 5 car operation. all the more reason that I hope a guy like Tags, Ed, Buddy, Servia win the 500 for the little guys
