wow. Thank you Paul. :thumbup:

Asked if things are still amicable between he and Haas, Newman cracks a wry smile.

"Well, Carl has got several crushed toes and I've got a couple of broken ribs, but we're still talking. I have a better left hook than he does, though."
:laugh:

"Newman also dismisses talk of the IRL adding road races to its all-oval schedule for 2005.

"I don't see how they can go road racing with the equipment they've got now. That's going to pose a problem. But it also pisses me off because that's not what they said they were going to do in the beginning. And I'd like to know where all the American drivers are that they said they were going to have in the beginning. I'd like to know where all their fans are." :thumbup:

Paul is a great guy! I wouldn't mind seeing him deck ole Carl! I bet the Gomers at TF are in meltdown! :D

"Of course, I'm an old racer ... I supported this series since 1983 and I will continue to support it so long as I have a breath and so long as they've got some cars running."

The man is just plain awesome.

That is SO true. Listen to any interview on any subject he cares deeply about. No BS. Just clear, straight, honesty,mixed with intelligence, kindess and compassion. Kids want a role model? Look no further.

Besides being classy, Mr. Newman has a great sense of humor. It's always a pleasure to read his interviews.
