Wow, what a sellout
what r u talking about sell out champ car is going no where indy cars arent going anywhere… and i am sure toyota is paying a s*** lot to drive for them
can’t blame him, true open wheel needs to to get their s*** together
Sellout, that’s funny. I guess I missed the vote that elected A.J. Allmendinger our sacrificial Champ Car lamb. Drivers are treated like chattel by owners and series, they need to get anything they can as quick as they can. Look what happened to this very driver, uncerimoniously dumped by his mentor because he hadn’t won in a little over three years when the entire team was new to the series.
Trust me, most people in racing have the conscience of, to sound cliched, sharks.
The first comment said A.J. ’s a sell out? Do you know that Mike Wallace has started 4 races this year in cup and has made Almost twice what Danika Patrick got paid to drive this year. Sell out???? Sounds like a smart business decision to me.
I Look forward to seeing A.J in the trucks. I think he will be a proven champ
