Driver Tony Kanaan no longer has an IZOD IndyCar series ride. The 2004 IRL Indy PepBoys Northern Lights Ace Tool Rentals Champion is known far and wide as "Danica's Teammate" will now resort to crying like his Brazilian breathern.

Kanaan spoke with Crack reporter Tippy Gomez while on break from a whirlwind night of Clubbing with Mari Hulman George. It was thought Kanaan had the upcoming 2011 deal sewn up with Gil de Ferran's Dragon Racing. Speaking from a phone booth outside Cactus Jacks on Terre Haute's South Side, Kannan expressed deep remorse for leaving Michael Andretti's Honda Racing Team.

"I tell chu what Tippy, day been talking aybout hard times wit day aconomie, but I nevers dreamed a former Champion would be treated like dis," said Kannan, choking back tears. "I was supposed to have Shitpavia Beer, thats from my country Brazil, Brazil you know Tippy, but that damn Helio stole that away from me." Refering to a personal sponsor his fellow countyman recently acquired.

"Now it comes to dis, I am out dancing with Mari in hopes of getting maimed, which might not be so bad because Mari keeps asking me how long can I hold my breath. She says big nose guys usually know how to liquor."

"It has bean berry nice to hear from some of de other guys who have bean so richardly rewarded by day series" says Tony. "Guys like Buddy Rice, Sam Hornish, Dan Wheldon have all given me a call. Most of them are just trying to figure out how much dough I have so they can put a little more in the envelope before they send it to Dale Coyne or Robbie Buhl.

Kannan might just hold onto his money in hopes to rent a car from one of the two teams competing in this upcoming season. He said that if things get to bad he could just pool his resorces and either rent a car off Chip or Rodger for the big casino race planned for later this season in Las Vegas

Will Tippy be doing a follow-up report about Gil de Ferran's Dragon Racing going out of business?

Just read on Twitter that Kanaan will be driving a 3rd KV Racing car this season.

I'm pretty sure that sound you heard is PT's head exploding.

I see PT is telling him to watch his back.

Twitter would have been way more interesting if we had back in the days when these decisions, comments, and the racing really mattered. :rolleyes:

Yeah, The Tipster has the right idea. This crap isn't even fun to talk about anymore. Might as well try to make it funny. Say, how 'bout Danica yelling at that poor kid? He said he was sorry about 5 times. Hope she doesn't beat 'im up! Bigger story than Sebring!

Martin Truex crashed and took out Ms Sparklepony in the process. She reacted in her usual calm and professional demeanor:rolleyes:

Looked to me like the princess took out Ryan Truex.

She took herself out off his left rear. I watched the video a bunch of times, he had nothing to apologize for, probably his PR people telling him to. She slid up the track and right into him, he kept going, she didn't.

Some day maybe someone will stand up to her and tell her she sucks and her s**** does stink.

Just what I read. I didn't actually watch it, I was just curious as to what NisnoZ was going on about.

There's more than one Truex in the cabs?!?

...probably his PR people telling him to.Maybe but I heard a tape of his spotter telling him, when he asked why she was yelling at him, "Don't worry about it. She's never been wrong about anything ever in her entire life".

Funny how reputations precede her. :shakehead

Scary to think maybe she can't even TELL when she's sliding up the track? Seriously, she even said "he came down off the wall." Didn't look like that, did it?

The pit chat is wierd, that the spotter is apologizing like he did something. Maybe he told her it was clear. Because she definitely drifted up into him.

Rule 1: Everyone must apologize to the Princess.

Does she need the spotter to tell her there is a car in front of her?

DUDE. Of course she does, she's too busy looking at her checklist of whose wrists she's s'posed to break this week.

Or, she's trying to remember which series she's driving in, because the cars are so insanely similar that she has to tell the difference by looking at the badging on the track.
