INDYCAR: Haiku Tuesday (Winter Hiatus Edition)

The 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series is in our rearview, and we now face the long months of fall and winter that separate us from the 2011 season opener. Whatever will we do???

I'll tell you what I'm not going to do - WRITE HAIKUS THE WHOLE DANG TIME. That's right, "Haiku Tuesday" will be going into hibernation after today's edition in order that I may recharge my poetry batteries. I mean, let's be frank - it's not like there's going to be a lot to wax poetic about unless you want me to write one based on, I dunno, Marco Andretti's latest emerald-encrusted XBox controller or something.

Never fear, though - if you look really closely during the off-season, I might slip a haiku in somewhere just to see if you're paying attention.

For now, though, hit up the haikus after the jump - and remember, just like Santa Claus, they'll be watching you from afar! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (Wait, that's a bit creepy for a Santa Claus simile.)

Dario's the champ.
Will had the chance but he choked.
Chip outwits Roger.

How to end season?
How 'bout with a Milka wreck?
It seems apropos.

Graham has a sponsor!
I hope "Son of 'Stache" will not
Get "tired" of puns.

Bummer, Tony K.
Danica took your P2
And your sponsor too.

12,000 people?
More like 300 of them.
Scream: "THIS... IS... HOMESTEAD!"

The "flying cocksman."
The strangest trophy in sports.
Art? Give me a break.

Endless yellow flag.
Have we borrowed tactics from
The Daytona boys?

Bless Simona's heart.
Her persistence showed that she
Has Tony's spirit.

Long winter ahead.
Don't forget us while we're gone.
We will be back soon.
