    What a way to top off the day.

    Bob Jenkins going to OWR, while Paul Page is still in the IRL booth. Tony George really is on a roll these days. Sheesh.

    Jenkins doing CART very funny indeed!

    A man's gotta eat. I can't blame Bob for taking the job. Especially for the treatment he and others have received lately.

    No, TG never revokes credentials under any circumstances.

    Just another problem with the IRL these days.
    The transformation is complete. The Indy 500 is the only IndyCar race that matters.

    Folks may want to consider the possibility that the IRL had a good reason for not wanting Jenkins in the booth any longer.

    That is absolutely all I'm going to say about this topic........so don't press me!

    First, thanks for relaying the info. Nowthen, did they indicate how much the time would cost?

    There will be a 24 episode 1/2 hour show, showcasing Champ Car on SpikeTV. Those timeslots have not been released yet.
    I'd be curious as to the time slot and the fee here as well.

    HD Net is going to have Friday and Saturday events televised
    Wonder when they'll get more than a million households?

    Anything about CBS?

    And I just lost my dinner. Jenkins hated CART, loved Indy. Can't imagine that has changed. He will hate every minute of his tenure. Certainly not this ChampCar fan's choice.

    Let me know if anyone wants "updates" from HDNet telecasts. I'm one of the 100,000 that have it.

    Is there anyone in this sport who's happy?

    Bizarro world, indeed.

    What did the IRL or ABC do to tick off Jenkins so much that he'd go work in Champ Car?

    I NEVER saw that coming.

    I'm beginning to think both series are TRYING to drive away all the fans!

    This has not been the best week to be a fan of either series. And I was really pumped up after Homestead and the Grand Am race. If they can kill my enthusiasm, they HAVE to be working at it!
    I think I'll stick to sports cars, F-1, and sprint cars from now on.

    Question

    Question: why Bronte Tagliani?
    I know...the guys think she's "a hottie" and she is a nice person and I know she's done some modeling, but.....

    What are her TV credentials? Was she hired because she's married to AT and could work cheap? Or, as PG said at the fan meeting in Cleveland, "she's the most beautiful gal in the paddock" (is that nepotism? )

    I'm just asking....I do wish her well, BTW.
