So I’m into racing, mostly Indy, F1 and GT, and I am very excited that the Indy Car Series is starting today at 8PM ET. One thing I am sad to see is that Dario Franchitti is not racing this year, he moved over to NASCAR (yawn) probably because there is more money at the Sprint Cup. Plus he is the first European to be in the NASCAR series, since its inception. So I’m sure that was an obvious opportunity.
With a new season starting I am hoping to see some life from Danica Patrick as up to this point she is just bleeding money from the team and has yet to win a race. I think she has the skill but lacks the confidence to rise above the chaff and make a win. She was very close last year in one race and I have to say I was rooting for her to win but she made seemingly beginner mistakes at the last moment and lost the lead and fell out of the top standings.
I’m looking forward to Tony Kanaan and Helio Castroneves in this years series, I believe it will be a great season this year. I hope the Andretti Green Team can pull another series win, Dario did a great job last year.
