Looked to me as the leaders came up to them, they were running
side-by-side. Kinda like Robby was almost giving her a driving lesson.

Buhl *has* been giving her driving lessons.

But during a race?

Wasn't Buhl the one blocking the outside line? It really fell on him
to give way to the faster cars.

Now you're reaching. Besides, I think one can make the argument that a
back marker (read not someone being overtaken for the lead) has the
responsibility to get off the optimal line and let the leaders thru.

Come on, ole bud, fork over the 2 bucks you owe to Pick. It's not like
you didn't know the rules.

If I were Brian Barnhart, I'd take both Fisher and Buhl out to the
woodshed. Along with their spotters.

But, in general, cars that slow are supposed to run the bottom.

Those rules do not count, since they do not specify an appeals
process.

Yes. I noticed that.

They've all been used. Now only she can possibly bow out. Fait acommpli

She is not just the slowest of the Chevies (often an excuse for her -
running a Chevy) but the slowest in the entire field. Even Foyt IV
(who also shouldn't be out there) trounced her.

She finished ahead of Foyt.

More siginficantly, she finished one spot ahead of Buhl. They both
ran like shit, but when both cars run the same it's the car and not
the driver.

And before the "You're not allowed to compare her to Buhl" guy jumps
in - nice try, but no dice. You get the Uri Geller award for that
concept.

When Buhl runs signficantly faster than Sarah, I'll believe she's the
problem.

Sarah ended Scott Goodyear's career, so Dan still has room for improvement.

Yeah - I'll give her that. Let's hope Dan didn't end Filipe's today.

Aha. No process, no appeals.

OK - start a tab.

Look at Danica Patrick. She's keeping a
steady course in the Toyota Atlantics and also getting more track time in
the ALMS. Patrick's going to make sure she's ready to step up into the
big leagues when she's ready, unlike Fisher.

Danica to Indy Racing League. You read it here first.

Wow.

One word: Indy. My guess is both Rahal and his sponsors have future
visions of the first woman ever winning The Great Race. TV, radio, news
wires, the front pages of major newspapers and media outlets throughout
the world showing Danica, her car and her sponsor in victory lane. You
couldn't put a price on that sort of publicity.

For the better part of two years our CHUMPS have been singing her
praises as they anticipated her one day racing in ther beloved series.

If this news is true, I can't wait to see how fast they turn on her ala
Penske, Ganassi, Green, Andretti, Kanaan, Castroneves, de Ferran,
Franchitti, Brack and all the others.
