And in case you were wondering about Milka Duno, the St Petersburg Times has the awful truth.
Milka Duno, the charismatic former sports car racer who undertook partial schedules the past two seasons, tested with Newman/Haas/Lanigan but needs funding after losing longtime backer Citgo.Jack Arute will be crushed.
UPDATE: Conquest Racing says "We can now confirm that Alex Tagliani will be aboard the 34 car this weekend with sponsorship from Northlands and Rexall Edmonton Indy." Roy Hobbson of Silent Pagoda is greatly anticipating massive VERSUS coverage of Alex's lovely wife.
I'll be the first to say. I think Briscoe is gonna win the first race.
Then you should change your name to briscoefan? aussiefan? MyGuyAintWinnin@Foyt-fan?
:) :)
Sorry I'm just goofy over Milka losing her sponsor & not terrorizing the IRL on 2009! YEAH BABY!
Jeff, Did one of my overzealous lawyers make you change the name of your sight?
If IRL is blocked I suggest MyNameisOW...B!
OW...B= Open Wheel...Biaches
Tony: its webSITE dude
An 80's adventure at your track's "Snake-Pit" would be a S-I-G-H-T. I know the Internets is tough, but come on man! You run a tech-based sport
:) :)
Milka lost the Hugo-Cash. I did not know that. Hmmmmmm.
"My Name Is Champ Car"??
Your April Fools humor, eh??? Please tell me the Milka news is REAL though(& not elaborate attempt @humor)
As far as I can tell, the Milka news is real as reported. Kinda strange there haven't been any Cavin or Miller reports es explicit on the subject though.
The Milka report is definitely not April Fools as it came out yesterday and contains much more substance than just Milka. I wish Brant would have elaborated on it more, but rightfully so he's just concentrating on it as a whole with St. Pete GP this weekend.
Hugo's cash is in better hands with EJ Viso? I'm thinking that'd make more sense.
Without Marty and Milka, it is time to ponder: Who will our favorite back marker be?
^^Stanton Barrett
While I like Milka I am not going to miss Citgo and their Commie Red money.
Jeff-O,
MyGuyAintWinnin@Foyt-fan, that's frig'n hilarious, LMAO. Hey, I didn't say I was rooting for Briscoe, it was just my pridiction.
Don't worry Jennifer. EJ's gettin' that commie red money too.
