It was announced today that Dario Franchitti is going back to the Indycar series, after his miserably pathetic attempt to drive in the NASCAR series for Chip Ganassi. Chip has taken pity on him, and decided to get rid of Huge-Toothed Dan Wheldon, and now Dario is set to return to Indy Cars.
You know what’s just totally RICH about this whole thing? The fact that Dario is trying to act like this is EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED all along. He says, “Part of the reason that I signed with Ganassi last year was because of how many options that Chip has at his disposal for a driver. You can do almost any form of racing that you want. With unification and the new schedule having more road and street courses it made me think about this more and more. I have really enjoyed this last season in stock cars and have not completely closed that chapter of my professional career, but the opportunity that arose was just something I could not pass up.”
Translation: I sucked at Nascar, and have totally embarrassed myself, and this is really my only option.
The thing is, I can’t deny he was great at driving the indycars, because he was. But since he already won the Indy 500 and the championship last year, there’s pretty much no where to go but down.
The Indy Racing League, unfortunately and as opposed to NASCAR, EATS ASHLEY JUDD UP - they hang on her every word to the point that you kind of want to punch your tv in the face. But it’ll make good sound bites for mocking. Which, rest assured, will be plentiful.
HATE HATE HATE HATE.
You know what is actually kind of sad about Ashley Judd? At one time, she was actually a decent actress…before she decided she was Queen of the Universe and started throwing around her vocabulary. And is it just me, or does that necklace totally look like she got it at K-Mart for 99 cents?
Oh Mockarenaon she has given you a gift to work from for practically the whole 2009 year!!!! And how right you are about Dario looking like he set this up for his career.
Remember when she said this about her husband going over to Nascar: “His willingness to chuck everything he knew — and at which he excelled at the highest level — for something totally new and unknown, I think he is utterly courageous. How many of us have that type of humility and adventuresome spirit?”
I guess we’ll see her in her flowerly dresses and stupid hats again. I know Nascar didn’t want any part of those dresses so it’s probably better for her then him to give up that type of humility.
Who’s the doof behind her biting his fingernail?
Looks like Alan Cumming (though don’t know what he’d be doing there since he’s British).
Yeah, I think you are right. Hey a party is a party I guess, lol
Yeah, thats is him. He was there. I looked it up on yahoo. I also found on wikipedia he was at the 2004 convention as well.
Her face appears to actually be bloated with conceit…nice look.
Yuo gotta love Ashley…according to her the world consists of herself (first), her spoiled, talentless husband, and her causes—for which she is a hypocrite.
I love this site. Thanks so much for the laugh! Dario was lucky to win the Indy 500. He won due to the rain but I don’t think he would have won if it didn’t.
Even Alan Cumming is biting his nails, waiting to hear what she’ll spew next…
Too funny Jenn. Next, she’ll find this picture and get all butt-hurt that he upstaged her.
