Why Taylor Swift Is A Better Spokesmodel For Wet 'N' Wild Than IndyCar
Why Taylor Swift Is A Better Spokesmodel For Wet 'N' Wild Than IndyCar-October 2024

No, no. Not because Wet ‘N’ Wild makes nail polish on the cheap and Swift’s a fancy lady. Look at the track conditions at Belle Isle. Clearly, an opportunity to co-brand (read = “get more dinero”) this car was lost. Not only did Tony Kanaan wipe out in his , but three other cars wiped out with him.

Think of the money, guys. You’re leaving dolla dolla billz on the table by not taking financial advantage of this torrential downpour.

It’s a proper mess out there, with rain causing an otherwise okay road course weekend to turn into the Slippery Banana Racing League. Stefano Coletti, James Jakes and Tony Kanaan went three-wide on lap 6 when Jakes’ left rear tire bounced Coletti into Kanaan. Rahal caught up to Kanaan in the hard-to-see conditions and rear-ended the Swiftmobile, as he had nowhere else to go. Ouch!

The three other cars were repairable, but Rahal’s was not. Rahal attested to the horrible conditions.

“It’s impossible to see right now (because of the rain),” explained Rahal to . “You just got to be smart out there, be really, really cautious. I was just playing this out as a 70-lap race or two hours, and I don’t think lot of guys are right now.”

Alternately, a Taylor Swift/Slip‘N Slide car would work quite well, too. Conor Daly, who is standing in for this weekend, would probably approve of that idea 1000000% so long as he gets to share the Slip’N Slide with Ms. Swift.

It’s love, I tell ya. Love. Who are we to interfere with true love?

The race was red-flagged early for inclement conditions, giving Carlos Muñoz his first ever IndyCar win, but not before Luca Filippi went into the tire barrier.

Fortunately, Filippi was able to get out of his car on his own after the shunt, and the race was red-flagged shortly after the incident.

According to, drivers were asked to leave their cars and find shelter, as lightning strikes were in the area.

Rubbin's Racin' And Pushin's Shovin' For Angry NASCAR Racers In Iowa
Ryan Reed was not happy with Ross Chastain driving him into the wall during the green-white-checkered finish of last night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race. The two exchanged stern words and pointed fingers after the race, but it’s safe to say that a different finger was implied in Reed’s post-race push....

Kenseth Wins NASCAR Race After Everyone In Front Of Him Runs Out Of Gas
To say that today’s Sprint Cup Windows 10 400 at Pocono Raceway was chaotic would be the understatement of the year. After racking up seven cautions in the first 72 laps alone, the race ran long and nuttier than usual. Watch how it ended: with cars everywhere dropping like flies...

Was This Driver Really Told To Push His DTM Competitors Out Of The Way?
Did Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich really instruct driver Timo Scheider, “Schieb ihn raus!” (or “Push him out!”) over the radio during yesterday’s Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters race? Dr. Ullrich claims that he was on a different channel than Scheider, but the TV edit looks pretty bad. Here’s the...

Rahal Wins At Honda Indy 200 And More People Gotta Watch This Stuff
There’s a kind of understanding, a kind of awareness you reach whenever you watch racing live that you never really get just from watching TV. It’s happened to me at Formula One, MotoGP, most sports car series, and now after covering the race at Mid-Ohio, I get IndyCar too in...
