You didn't have to be Nostradamus to see this one coming.

Not surprising, but still I am sorry to see this happen. In addition to a number of people without jobs, it also means that there isn't an American team on the circuit to root for. Oh well, maybe Danica will be selected to drive and then everyone will be talking.

To my bus driving friend: They'll be talking, but what will they be saying.

Apparently all that matters is PR.

I had to quit listening to ole DW, her personal schill with FOX. He had diarrhea of the mouth and wasn't real kind to the IRL. Of course he is a "real" expert. Between the Waltrip boys pimping for her, they should produce enough words to have her in the Motorsports Hall of Fame in no time flat.

Sad to see this happen,,,, but,,
Just another example of an entity here in the states relying on 'someone else' to supply the REAL money for them to operate. Sounds like the deal with the wannabee driver did not produce enough money for the admins/finance people of USF1 to keep the doors open to get to the first race track.
Maybe if they could have rustled up a wannabee driver from Duhbai,the team would be headed to the track as scheduled.
I was told when I was a little rat by mama:" You have champagne taste on a beer budget".
Possibly what happened here?

Take Care,
BC
