Of course we'll probably have no chance to get anywhere near him. I'll be there Sunday. Hopefully he'll get a good idea of how NASCAR and it's drivers treat loyal fans and take a little of that back to F1.

I thought I heard Bob Varsha or David Hobbs mention he's about to get booted out of his F1 ride with Red Bull during the Monaco Grand Prix. He's probably going to try peddling himself for a Cup ride.
he better be only observing, no way I want to see him in Nascar
The reason Crazy-Dave is still driving OW cars is because he actually can't fit into a tintop due to his jaw.... :pQuote:

The COT has a bigger window opening than the old car...even AJ Foyt Jr could fit through now! :laugh:Quote:

TRACY TO TEST CRAFTSMAN TRUCK WITH GERMAIN RACING

While his open-wheel colleagues were busy turning circles around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, Paul Tracy was not sitting at home lamenting the fact he could not be part of the unified Indy 500.
Instead, the former Champ Car champion was busy making travel arrangements for Chicago where he will take part in a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series test on Wednesday for Germain Racing.
This will be Tracy's first experience behind the wheel of a truck but as he has shown in the past, the open-wheeler has been quick to adapt to any number of racing disciplines - NASCAR, Grand-Am and off-road trucks.
"I'm still young and I have a great passion for the sport of racing, and I plan to be a part of it for many years to come," said Tracy from his home in Las Vegas.
"My situation with Forsythe was unfortunate, but it has opened up so many other opportunities for me and I'm really enjoying my life right now."
"The Germain Racing team is a championship team that is committed to winning, so it humbles me to be able to take part in a test and share a Toyota Tundra with Todd Bodine. He is one of the best in the business and I'm looking forward to getting to Chicago on Wednesday and doing whatever I can to learn from him so that I can experience my own success should I go that direction."
Tracy last raced competitively at the Champ Car finale at Long Beach in April. At that event, he confirmed that he had secured his release from Forsythe Racing, which would allow him to pursue other opportunities. While he says he would like to compete in the unified IndyCar series, Tracy has maintained he would prefer to race with one of the top tier teams such as Penske, Andretti Green or Ganassi.
This sucks. He needs to be in an Indycar. That's one more star lost to the taxi cabs.
That is one bored man.
What are the chances of Red Bull extending their operation to 3 cars in the future? With Scott Speed coming on it might be something they are considering. And with DC in the future who knows?
Agreed.Quote:
