Quick: Who won the Indy 500 last year? Chances are you don’t know. That may sadden Indy racing League officials, but they still have no problem promoting Danica Patrick, who has one win in more than 50 career starts. Danica was at Times Square with all the other drivers for Sunday’s race. But she gets all the attention: even to the point of answering questions that she may leave Indy Racing for Formula One in Europe. Like Michelle Wie on the LPGA, let’s see Patrick prove she belongs behind the wheel of a race car first.

By the way, Dario Franchitti won last year’s race at the brickyard.

This weekend Danica Patrick became the 1st woman to win an IRL racing event, the Japan 300. Thank goodness. I was beginning to believe that like Matt Serra, Patrick was over-hyped, forced on the public by racing bigwigs and PR people thanks to her (unlike Serra) good looks. My mind is at ease now-at least until she wins a major race in the United States.

So Max Mosely, head of Formula One Racing, plans to fight a London tabloid’s claims that he’s on a videotape with 5 prostitutes. The tape allegedly shows Mosely “Nazi role playing.”

As if that’s not disturbing enough: Did you know that Max’s father Oswald, was the founder of the British Union of Fascists? His parents were married in the Berlin home of Joseph Goebbels-Hiter was listed as a ‘guest of honor.’ The Oswalds were imprisoned by the British during the early stages of World War II-11 weeks after Max was born, because of the potential threat they were to England.

Max Mosely makes no denial of his support of his father’s politics. Like his dad, he was a supporter of the Soviet Union, WHY would any organization-never mind one so popular as FIA- want such a lowlife running it?

You don’t have to be a racing fan to know that Max MUST GO - PRONTO!
