  • Randy Bernard should suspend IndyCar owners who have knives out

    Updated: 2012-05-31 02:05:43
    Last year, when an owner in the Indy Lights series tried to lead a revolt against management, he was suspended from competition until 2013. Kicked out for 18 months. Now comes word that certain people within the Indy car owners group are trying to lead a revolt against IZOD IndyCar Series President and CEO Randy Bernard. Several high-profile personalities in the series have been identified by at least one reporter. The owner (or owners) is allegedly calling other owners and urging them to join in the revolt.

    Updated: 2012-05-30 03:54:57
    It’s time for the IZOD IndyCar Series to go to a green-white-checkers finish. The reason people were booing at the conclusion of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday was not (I don’t think) because Dario Franchitti won it for the third time but because, for the third consecutive year, the race ended under the yellow. This used to be the way it was in NASCAR but they wised up after the fans became restless and demanded change. The result is very exciting: a flat-out dash for the cash over two laps, winner taking all. The fans like it and that’s what...

At Indy in the afternoon, Dario Franchitti won what used to be called the 500 Mile International Sweepstakes for the third time while overseas - morning here, afternoon there - Mark Webber won the Grand Prix of Monaco for the second time. All three races were interesting, with some more exciting that others. In that regard, Indianapolis topped the bill for surprises...

Kevin Harvick finished fourth and Elliott Sadler arrived home fifth. Danica Patrick, everybody's favourite punching bag, qualified third (must have been a fluke) and finished 13th. Unless my math is wrong, that means she finished ahead of 30 other drivers who were in the race - but she was just lucky, I guess. All of her critics can drive better than her, of course.

    Just a quick thought to start off: Everybody in IndyCar talked about the need to get away from "pack racing" after the accident last October at Las Vegas that killed Dan Wheldon. As a result, the series has refused to return to Vegas and, with the exception of Texas Motor Speedway, won't race on 1.5-mile tracks or tracks that are highly banked for that reason. Indianapolis is the first oval the series has run on since that accident and there are new cars. Don't be surprised to see pack racing on Sunday. I don't think you can get away from...

    The first time I got into a racing car to run a feature at "the home of the supermodifieds," Oswego Speedway in northern New York, they told me to take the green and to get off the track. "You’re not fast enough yet," said pit stewart Jerry Rich back in 1982. "They’ll be up your ass in half-a-dozen laps. You’ll save everybody the trouble of black-flagging you if you just get out of the way early. So take the start and pit." Which is what I hope IndyCar tells Jean Alesi before the start of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday....
