    Pook is a classy leader

    Check out the savior's quote here:


    Fontana president Bill Miller said CART was not included in a ticket package because the series “hasn’t been clear on its direction for the future.” CART CEO Chris Pook, after learning of the Fontana snub, said he would gladly commit to a new contract. Then he added, “It’s okay. We prefer that fans who want to see our races don’t have to buy tickets for those they don’t want to see.” Quips aside, ISC’s relationship with CART, which has raced at five ISC-owned tracks in the past, is all but dead. The last ISC track on CART’s schedule, and the last superspeedway, will likely be gone after next season.


    I know the Cart fans will tell me it is nice to have a guy really putting it out there, really telling people how it is--my take--that is no way to run a business. Pook exudes class.

    Beginning to see a trend here. Maybe that's why the "Pook is going to retire" talk is starting to surface.

    'Bird's referring to another of Pook's classy moments; he said something about those who had 'defected' to the IRL, something about not 'relieving himself on them if their brains were on fire.'

    Sure, the Pookster prefers his fans not having to buy tickets to NASCAR. He doesn't even realize it's the other way around. Another "pookie" for the archives.

    Chris(Kenny Rodgers)Pook is no better than all the other losers that ran Cart into the ground. What has Pookie really done that's bin good for Cart?
