Bad drivers?



i'm new to indy racing, so if this is stupid, go easy on me. but why are sarah fisher and milka duno even out there? i don't mean to pick on the ladies, not my point. but duno sucks it up every race and fisher always seems to finish a few laps down. can't they get some better people to replace these two? do they even have a chance at ever winning? duno was lapped so quickly tonight, then fisher was just getting in everybody's way. has fisher won in indy in the past? or even come close?

sarah fisher had the pole and placed second at kentucky speedway a few years back, it is a lot about the equipment and the set up and the crew, you have to have a good combo of all of those to have wins. this is why you see all the teams with the money winning more, because they have the money to buy all of that. they say that milka is new to all of this and that road courses are her specialty, so we will see if she does any better this week at watkins glen.
because they just stink Danica is way better

I agree with you about that don'tno chick but fisher was there for a while and then lost her Ride for a few years maybe 3 or 4. I think the Duno lady will come around when they get to the road course part of there schedule. That is what type racing she came from.
Give them some time and then get rid of them if they get some top 5.
IRL is full of terrible drivers!

Its called they get sponsorships and buy themselves a ride! If you don't drive for Ganassi, Penske or Andritti you have no business at an IRL event. Ok that is a bit too much, but you get my point!

ESPN did a great job outlining how the sponsorship money got (name eludes me) the guy who died at homested a few years ago.

IRL is not able to draw fresh talent. Na$car is sucking it all up! The money for teams and drivers isn't there unless you drive for one of the big three. Until the IRL can draw major sponsorships into the series your going to see these slow drivers getting lapped constantly!
It takes more than being a good driver to win races. You also need to be on a well funded team that puts out great racecars.

Put Fisher in TK's car, and I guarantee you she would win races.
The majority of the drivers in the IRL series are the cast offs who can't make it in the more competitive leagues. The IRL is trying to save their butts by getting recognizable drivers who can identify with the public and get some sponsor money. People will always see through that as long as you have whiners like Rahal running the show!
