Last Tuesday I thought I’d actually get caught up on whatever was happening in Der ‘Vurld de Motorsporten; Ja-Ja! Especially the Indy Car Series via Trackside with Cavin & Kevin; BUTT NOPE! Instead thee Boyz nauseously rambled on for 90-minutes plus about the just concluded Brickyard 400; BARF!
As Kevin Lee gushed over how GURR-REAT! 5X Jimmy “Vanilla” Johnson was for having just won his fourth Brickyard race - tying him with such legends as AJ Foyt, Al Unser Sr., Rick Mears and Jeff Gordon... Whilst Curt Cavin had the audacity to say that DER TERMINATOR’s 5 wins didn’t equate; say what? As I found it funny to hear them tossing around Seattle like a veritable wilderness in regards to motor racing...
Thus I found Cavin’s logic irrelevant - if NOT skewed... Since they tried showing how great Johnson’s accomplishments were with the following logic. Three 4-time Indy 500 winners in 96 races; two 4-time Brickyard 400 winners in 19-races... And then there’s just ONE FIVE time Winner in not only a scant 8-races; BUTT! The ONLY FIVE times winner, period...
As how can Michael Schumacher be left outta duh equation, having captured five Pole positions and victories and two runner-up finishes in his seven starts at Indianapolis ! Which theoretically should have been SIX WINS if he hadn’t monkeyed around with his staged finish in 2002... Thus in what I spouted off ‘bout one year ago - you could simply insert Johnson’s name for Gordon’s instead below. As hopefully the Trackside Boyz will return to the world ‘O IndyCar racing this Tuesday night...
