Maybe she feels safer in a Nationwide car now. Or maybe she broke a nail. :cool:

Jeepers...I thought I was brutal on Danica. I'd rather focus on the slowest dog of the bunch just because her efforts to becoming a bottom-feeder are astounding...Milka. She is currently EIGHT SECONDS off of the leader and a full 5.1 seconds slower than the next slowest. If these times continue (assuming she isn't having technical problems) she will be lapped by the ENTIRE field every 14.5 laps. Milka has to be the worst "professional" driver of all time.

Cant tell that to Brian Barnyard he wants as a field as possible even if one of the drivers is a severly off pace and becoming a safety risk. Say didnt Indycar park Marty Roth last year because he was to slow and dangerous? He wasnt even half as bad as Milka.

Yes, they parked Roth. Last year at Mid-Ohio they parked Milka in that race. The results say "mechanical issues", but I heard the traffic on the radio stating otherwise. But they do need to seriously take her off the track. She is dangerous.

Looks like Team Penske will be strong, i expect a good performance by Power. If Paul Tracy was as smooth a driver as Will Power, maybe he'd have beaten Nigel Mansell back in 1993 for the PPG Cup but instead he always won one week and wrecked the next. I thought Ana Beatriz had a fulltime ride, what happened to her? As far as Duno, the only thing I can figure on that deal is that she must be sleeping with the car owner, it's either that or her father funds that team. There has got to be a reason that she still competes with a sponsor. If the IRL doesn't step in, it'll have to be a driver boycott but this won't be til she doe's something really stupid that takes out a bunch of cars or serously hurts someone...
