FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN "BECAUSE"

IRL driver Danica Patrick is being considered for an F-1 seat with the new American team. I'd love to see her make it, and love to see her run well in Euro racing.

And then again ... I'd just love to, well, see her.

PLEASE, BE TRUE ... AN AMERICAN F1 TEAM

Rumors are that it's true (that's their logo, above). I heard a mumble about J.J. Almendinger being asked to be one of the pilots ... supposedly, he didn't deny or confirm it.

Here's the dope from the folks at autosport.com

[UPDATE 2212 EST: Kenseth wins at Fontana, becoming only the fourth NASCAR driver to win the first two races of the season. Pretty good racing between him and Jeff Gordon for the last 20-or-so. Kyle doesn't three-peat (he won the truck and Nationwide races), but placed third.]
