Big fight at drivers' party - Tracy Loses Provisional Pole -- details to follow!
There is a terse statement on Cart.com that reveals Paul Tracy has lost his provisional pole from yesterday due to blocking (this time proved by witnesses and telemetry, according to Tagliani).
Our associate was at the drivers' party and reports a screaming fight between Pook and Tracy in the Mens Room (of all places) which could be clearly heard in the room outside (obviously since our associate is a woman). It ended with Tracy shouting  you and storming out of the party, at which he was to be Guest of Honour, leaving everyone flatfooted. We will have further details later on today if she has any. Apparently it happened very quickly.Because of the general non-participation by media at these events (as she reports), nobody got any photographs of any of this. Just what we need, eh? A scandal! |

Great stuff. This is what made NASCAR such a soap opera. Fists and blood, watch the boards light up.

There's no such thing as bad publicity.

CART has asked the media to shut up about this for now, so we are complying.

but you are not media inthe forums surely not you are a valued member, so what did Liz the person see and hear, not liz 'press officer"
I know tracy's antics were on CART.com so i only assume it was a tactic by him or CART to mix up the grid |
