There's another race?
yeah, next year ;)
Have to do something constructive today, bbl.
What a finish!
look at the hottie standing behind Michael Andretti!!
I was at the 1992 race....memorable for pole sitter Roberto Guererro spinning out on the parade lap before the start of the race.
Amazing race!
Ha...always hotties around Andretti racing....Danica with the Paris Hilton sunglasses
I thought she ran a whale of a race.
She had the bad luck of taking 2 pit stops under the green when just a lap later the yellow flag came out. She still ended up in 8th.
Otherwise, she was right up there with the leaders. Very good, consistent driver.
That may have been his wife. He ditched that rinestone scag-girl years ago.
I'm jazzed. Should the thread for next year's gig start right now? Maybe not.
Talk amongst yourselves...
I bet that was memorable!
I am sure everyone is happy I can only bet with my money..!!..
did you see his ex when they interviewed Marco??
Oh yeah, everyone in the pits said "what a moron" It was because qualifying all month was in the heat, and a storm blew in on Saturday, and it was 58 degrees on Sunday. He punched the turbo and spun his car into the wall.
Only babes invited. I think that's an IRL rule...
No.
But what a class act Marco was not blocking.
No, Sandy?
yeh, it was her- wearing the same hat she wore walking Michael out of Gasoline Alley a decade ago...
Thanks for posting this baby, See ya next year...
