Someone should ask Donald Davidson if Bruno holds the record for qualifying but not starting, that's two now.
At least he got to start when he won the pole for Ganassi! :8:
David.

Yes, one of the sponsors that year for Indy was the King Tut exhibit at the Children's Museum (I have poster of that car).

That was a different deal which is why not much was made of it. They were teammates. The sponsorship for the year was based on Tag being the driver. So a change was made because of that (the possibility was known going in for Bruno). Since it was a move within a team, I didn't see that as a big deal. An owner can run his team the way he sees fit IMO. I just don't like an owner going to another team and buying a seat from them (If RHR took another AA seat, I don't think this would be such a big story...unless it was Danica's seat. LOL). That's why this deal is different to me. Every driver interview I saw yesterday said they need to change the rule. We'll see what happens.
