Dr. Austin should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Yeah, well hunk of the month, don't if figure? It's all about money, kids. Bernie's money, Tony's money, Bill's money, and RPM stockholder's money. Money makes the sport go round. Or I should say that money makes the sports/entertainment industry go round. Or is it more correct to call it entertainment/sport?

And it has gotten soooo stupidly expensive, for everyone, that it isn't even a sport anymore. It's all business. About the only thing you can't plan on is when one of your pit guys gets run over. It all, cold, impersonal business.

It's no wonder we never see any honest (different from generic "honest) 220+mph wheel to wheel, mano en mano action. That's bad for business. Corporate bottom line, baby! The red car looks good on tv, out front and all alone. Marlboro's buckos say leave it that way!

Hey, Muzza, where can we go to see some real honest to god sport? Ever been to the midget races? See a good figure eight race?
