Speaking of illogic, how stupid does one need to be to buy
rahal's excuse. NHL is paired with RLR, the latter of which,
prior to Sharp's departure, was intending to campaign two
cars this season, which means they'd have at least two more
cars available (Sharp's and a backup), plus the glaringly
obvious fact that MANY more backup cars are available
on other teams, (the racing community is legend for sharing
essentials in a pinch) and not a single other team has
complained about/declined to compete due to any shortage.
This "we don't have any parts" is as transparent and odorous
a sham as has ever been attempted to be perpetrated on a
now knowing and weary viewer****p, not to mention that here
we go yet again with Chumps blaming Tony George and any
and everyone else but themselves for their decisions, failures
and wrecking of their own equipment. With the single
exception of the aforementioned perennial victims, the wool
is hardly pulled over the eyes of those that are deservedly
suspicious and simply not buying it this time.
