No. Was this something local in your area? The Speedway was offering refunds for anyone who didn't want to go. No word as to how many were tendered. JG> Why does the 500 have to be involved..... Because it's TG's track. Without the 500, IRL is just another series. The 500 makes it special. JG> .....when IRL could run their OWN 500 Why? They already have a perfectly good, well established race. The guys running CART have no devine right to run there... --- * OFFLINE 1.56 * Bill Clinton stamp fails.

If he gets taken out early in the race i'll pull for M. Martin or Ward Burton, Labonte. But as long as Dale E. is in the race, he is the only driver i'm conserned with. I hope I didn't say anything to you that made you think I was saying you don't know anything about Nascar. JAS ...

Nascar has done everything for ford except show them how to build a new car. If they lower the roof line any further, the fords will become convertibles. The real problem with the fords isn't the cars, its the teams. There are good ford teams, but none of them are really doing super good. They are winning some, but they are not consistent enough to be in the top 10 week after week. The real problem is the chevy drivers, Gordan, Labonte, Earnhardt etc........ Not that i'm saying they are better than any ford drivers, they are just having alot better year. M. Martin is one of my favorite drivers, but he is only doing well. He is not doing great. See the difference? Its not the cars.... its the teams. Put Earnhardt in the fords, and i'll bet you he would still be in the lead or second in points!!!!! Great Drivers Make it Look Easy, DALE EARNHARDT IS GREAT!!! (not yelling:) JAS ...
