I think what we are seeing go on is a family situation that is now brewing into a public situation.

Anyone that is a casual observer of the Speedway knows that something has been going on for awhile.

I just hope that they can come together because if they aren't careful and this gets out of control; the lawyers will leave them with nothing(relative terms) and the Speedway will become the final crown jewel that NASCAR has been coveting since NASCAR was formed. Open wheel racing as we know it could go away.

I have been as harsh a critic of George and the Speedway as anyone, but the train is already rolling and it cannot turn around now. However slight, I honestly believe that the IRL is starting to inch forward on a daily basis.

I believe Humpy's name is mentioned because he has been a long time family friend.

I am not a Robin Miller fan, but I believe that where there is smoke there is fire in this case and I would almost bet dollars to doughnuts that the person that leaked that story either shares D.N.A with Tony or has children that do.

You have to admit this though; in watching that press conference with Tony he seeems as relaxed and relieved as I have ever sen him publicly. Either he has been ousted or he finally got to tell someone what he thinks of them.
