Is this how Randy Bernard thinks the series drivers should be portrayed?

"Try some of these before or after your statements if you are not presenting them as facts. Things like - "In my opinion", or "I think that", JHMO, IMHO, IMO, JMO... Your opinions are not (necessarily) fact. That would clear things up some." - Seadog 03/25/2010 11:40am So the above is JMO.
I doubt Randy had anything to do with it but dang..this picture is disturbing...

So you think he is going to open the new Sports Illustrated and be completely surprised by this image?Originally Posted by Hitokiri
Anything to get a rise for the series.
Well, we know he's a swinger.
This'll be a tired out thread.

This thread is a day late and a dollar short...there's been at least TWO threads talking about this already, Muppet.
It's raining here today in Montana - Randy's fault...
This is great for the series. I do not care who you are, and sure, us hard core fans find it distasteful, however, the women that read through this issue of the magazine will only go on to further enjoy Helio, and if they didn't know him before from Dancing with the Stars, they may be inclined to watch next years Indy 500 to follow along with him.
This definitely will not hurt the Izod Indycar Series, I hope Randy Bernard did sign off on this, because this is what the series needs.
Where? I searched 'Helio", and "Sports Illustrated" and found nothing. I remember some discussion on the subject a couple weeks ago but I can't find it. Besides, that thread wasn't addressing the image this portrays of the series.
Hmmm, so you think Sports Illustrated has a pretty large female demo do you?
What's the big deal?
Its legal, many women may enjoy it (some men). It doesn't portray the sport in a bad light, gets some publicity for Helio and Indycar.
Mike Hiss posed nude in Playgirl magazine in 1973, with his helmet strategically placed to hide his crotch. did the Indycar world come under fire then? Nope.

It's not Sports Illustrated. It's ESPN The Magazine...
I believe the naked female & male athletes are in ESPN... "The Magazine"

Ya for the 30,000 that pay attention to it.
It's sunny here in Toronto. Could it be Randy's fault?
Tara, this is the epitome of cool:
Helio swingin' in a tire not so much......

Yes, you guys are right my apologies! Might explain why I couldn't find it!I believe the naked female & male athletes are in ESPN... "The Magazine"
I'd go out on a limb and say that quite a few women purchase this issue of the magazine, or steal their husbands copy. You'd be surprised how many dentist's offices and doctor's offices across North America have subscriptions to ESPN Magazine to read while waiting.
Yep, you are right, millions of woman will see this! There will be lots of room in Kentucky for them when they magically become fans.
Too nice of a day to be Randy's doing...
This is really disgusting. Just how low will Helio go? I would assume there is some kind of moral clause in his contract with Penske he has violated by posing for these soft porn photographs. Just one more reason Roger needs to let him go. ErnestYet another brilliant strategy.

In the mud...Wait, that's the answer to how's it hanging.
It's a Hoosier thing, you wouldn't understand...

What a strange thing to be worked up about.
I'm not worked up about it.
Good to see everyone up in arms over ESPN promoting INDYCAR.
Are you OK with the IndyCar series being portrayed in this light? I'm certainly not. Is this going to attract new fans or old men in raincoats? If I was RB I would fine Helio for conduct detrimental to the series. This crap has no place in motor sports. Ernest
That's nuthin' man. You should see the spare tire around my waist.
