Usually I like to give people a break, but TSN's new racing columnist, Todd Lewis, has not in any way impressed me yet, and in his latest column I caught him sneering thusly at Dario Fanchitti:
Just a question: What was Dario Franchitti doing in England at the CART race? I realize he’s injured and out of his ride with Michael Andretti’s team for sometime, but with this being Michaels final run at Indianapolis, both Dario and Tony Kanaan injured and substitute drivers running in their place, shouldn’t it be all hands on deck to try and help the team? If Franchitti’s back injury isn’t too painful for him to endure a plane ride to Britain shouldn’t he be at Indianapolis Motor Speedway offering whatever wisdom he can provide.
Franchitti's back wasn't too painful for the plane trip to Britain because the injury actually occurred after he got there (he crashed his motorcycle in Scotland). Mr. Lewis needs to check a map, his facts, or both.
