    Working for AJ Foyt is brutal - he's a tough son of a bitch! After the fire, he was on the radio saying "VITOR! Get out on the track, you pussy! What are you waiting for?" And then after the crash, AJ was hollering "Walk it off, you LOSER!! Come on! You are holding up the race!! Just because tomorrow is Memorial Day doesn't mean that you get the day off!!"

    @goatrope: That;s probably not too far off from the truth (at least the bit after the fire).


    If there's any good that has come out of this, it's that Paul Tracy will be driving the 14 car at Milwaukee this weekend.

    Using a bucket brigade to put him out is possibly the worst part of the fire. It looks like they grabbed some buckets that had been collecting rainwater from the leaky roof and threw it on him. Nobody's heard of fire extinguishers at Indy? I know that they use water for the ethanol fires and all that, but surely in pressurized form they'd work better and not soak the track and car.


    Something I'm not getting?

    Tony Kanaan, Vitor Meira, Raphael Matos, Nelson Piquet Jr. Should I be worried of a Brazilian extermination program? Or should I roll the Barrichello-Castroneves way? Maybe not Barrichello, I'm not Brawn's #2 pilot...

    The Guardians are just making sure Victor doesn't win if he does, the Illuminati will rule over the world. It's an Illuminati plot to make all racing unified. No F1 and Nascar, just 1 racing series.

    @MissingPieces: Well, I guess then we will leave it up to you to tell all of the fans and drivers that participate in Open Wheel, Nascar, Dirt Track, Baja, Supercross, LeMans, LeMons, Nascar Truck Series, and oh yeah...go karts, that what they are doing and supporting is not actually racing...because I sure the Hell am not going to tell them.


    I would have figured that even a troll would take Sunday off.

    @MissingPieces: Yeah, I would kind of consider any race event that involves crossing over the finish line many many times before it is actually used to end the race...a circle. Whether it has many bends to the left or to the right or if it is a loop, you are still driving in an infinite direction that could be classified as circular. When you get lost and end up back where you started, do you say "man I don't know how I ended up driving in a trapezoid"?

    Also, if multiple vehicles all start from the same point, and one is able to finish before all the rest, if it is not racing...what the hell do you call it?

    On that note, why don't you save your negative comments for Twitter or Yahoo chat, and leave Jalopnik for those of us who actually enjoy the coverage of the 500 and all of us out there that think that racing is racing...no matter what fucking shape or direction the racers are running in. Have a pleasant evening.

    Good thing the IRL switched to ethanol. Methanol doesn't make for good fire pictures.

    @jewce: With the methanol fires it always took a few seconds to realize what was going on when you were watching it. "Why is that guy jumping out of the car in such a hurry and running around like he has ants in his pants?...Oh he is on FIRE!" I remeber this happend to Nigel Mansel one year.
