NASCAR Conspiracy Theorists

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:57:59 +1900

Have you ever heard the one about how NASCAR staged Richard Petty’s 200th win? Or Dale Earnhardt’s 1998 Daytona 500 victory? They make up just a couple of the vast conspiracy theories that fans have formulated for decades. While the idea behind these two are simple, others are elaborate and verge on bizarre. The need to justify triumph and explain tragedy have led to a vast array ...

The Danica-Milka Duel Creates Great Moments In Journalism

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:04:17 +1900

By this point we’ve all heard and seen the “fight” between Danica Patrick and Milka Duno.

Jack Arute calls it dead right on Danica

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:53:44 +1900

Danica Patrick is what she is - a talented driver who's up the front on merit but not quite good enough to be one of the very best. In F1 terms, she's Nick Heidfeld not Lewis Hamilton. But it seems that, for a lot of people, if she can't be perfect she's not fit to be let out of the house. I hate that attitude, and as a result I love this Jack Arute column on the IndyCar site.
