What did Paul Tracy really say

[92 white 0650]

about Dan Clarke passing him on the last lap? Anyone know where and how that pass happened? Man, what can be more frustrating than being a former champ and not having a car good enough to stay ahead of a guy who was a laughing stock backmarker just 2 months ago !!!

On a separate note, is Champ Car finally developing some personalities and story lines? I think AJ's story the last 2 weeks is what they want. What's next? could it be time for Katherine Legge to have a cinderella story?

Oh yeah, and I must say Derek was almost tolerable in his commentary.

I know the mods of this forum prefer inane, unhelpful responses like the one posted. For the benefit of the original poster, here's a factual answer taken from Paul's column at Autosport.com:

"In the last stint I went back to the red (soft) tires. They were shot in 10 laps and I was struggling. Dan Clarke chased me down pretty easily and as I was just hanging on for dear life, he got past me on the final lap.

I was just sliding through the fast chicane at the back of the circuit, so Clarke was able to get a good run on me coming on to the pit straight, and I had nothing left to hold him back."

Again, apologies for attempting a helpful, fact-based post.

Thank you. I didn't have the time or patience to search thru that link.

Did he have some juicy tidbits about driving over SeeBass's head in Cleveland? :biggrin:

From the same column:
"Sebastien was just following the natural curve of the track, taking the racing line, and I think Bruno moved a little bit more over to the left and that just shot me instantly up in the air. I was in a situation where, if I had hit the brakes to duck out, I'd have launched both of them over my front wheels. I don't think you can put the blame on anyone: it was just three things happening at once."
