His take on the drivers complaining about the COT. He mentions IndyCar at the end. Pay particular attention to the last two paragraphs. http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/8243500/Harvick-criticizes-attitude-of-some-young-drivers

yeah right Kev, as old Larry Mac says from the booth at Daytoner, "We got 43 cars running within a second of each other. And Patrick Compartiay is right there in the middle of it all."

I can't believe I'm agreeing with a driver I dislike so much. But he's right.

If you're in a formula car, racing on an oval, and your front wing looks like this:

...maybe you're part of a show and not a race.

Thanks, I'm glad you've got the perspective to make that judgement.

Wheel covers?

But, but, they have only showed up in F1 in the last couple of years and we all know F1 is the pinnacle of racecar design. :gomer:

Wheelcovers obviously clean up airflow, but F1 has real brakes which need to be cooled.

That's so disgusting and assbackwards that 17 year old Indy Cars look sexier and more modern than brand new ones...Ugh!
