First it was a driver walking around the garage area with helmet in hand, then walking around with a briefcase full of cash, now it's a mobile phone. Can't say I like it all that much--I'd prefer the personal touch of hearing a knock on the garage door to begin a negotiation with a potential driver. Could you imagine A.J. being told he's got a twitter message from someone like Junqueira? Definately not "just one of them deals in racing," in my book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-41578238903688651222009-05-07T21:50:00.000-07:002009-05-07T21:50:00.000-07:00P-Dog...

Mr. No-Name was just saying that Twitter had more comments aimed at it then Stanton!<br /><br />IMO, Sarah Fisher wasn't ignored last year... especially since she is a former IRL Most Popular Driver winner. Add the post race press with Tony Kanaan( feeling bad about his contact with her car). & her team's public admission that that accident might sideline them for her next race.<br /><br />I guess I don't follow the logic of your comments or am I missing the joke??? Sarah is also competitive on ovals. Stanton has been off-pace on RC's & the ovals. I just would never compare those two (too much respect for SF)AZZO45noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-8144063126713415542009-05-07T19:21:00.000-07:002009-05-07T19:21:00.000-07:00After seeing Will (Isitmayyet)'s pictures of Stant...After seeing Will (Isitmayyet)'s pictures of Stanton's car, I'm doubly curious who the sponsor was that bailed; because I clearly see Interush on the engine cowling (who is the sponsor that gave them the awesome white/light blue paint scheme). <br /><br />Whatever the story, I'm definitely rooting for him and Beck to make the field.Allen Wedgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12511193372395131930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-60047382498630947632009-05-07T18:27:00.000-07:002009-05-07T18:27:00.000-07:00OK Anonymous, if that's your REAL name ... RE: Sta...OK Anonymous, if that's your REAL name ... RE: Stanton. It's a tough break. It's a tough business. Always been part of the deal, probably always will be. Happened to my girl Sarah last year. "It's a hard-knock life" from Annie is running through my head. Tony says he's not bailing anyone out (except Ryan Hunter-Reay, but that's it), which is probably a good policy.pressdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116626812974787639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-20325242726614746002009-05-07T16:29:00.000-07:002009-05-07T16:29:00.000-07:00Love it!
