Pop Off Valve, for IndyCar fans

An Indy 500 traditionalist bemoans the way some modern IndyCar owners circumvent their shortcomings by flashing a thick wallet.

Andretti Autosport is trying to buy their way back into the 2011 Indianapolis 500, negotiating with two teams to find rides for bumped drivers Ryan Hunter-Reay and Mike Conway.

Marco Andretti bumped his way into the 2011 Indy 500 field at the expense of his Andretti Autosport teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay during Bump Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

One of the more surprising developments of Pole Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the lack of speed from Andretti Autosport - leading to a sleepless night as Bump Day looms.

The first IndyCar race of 2011 is in the books, and Pop Off Valve has some strong words for several people who are deflecting blame for the rash of restart incidents.

The news hasn't been good for Andretti Autosport recently - but is the news REALLY bad or does it just look that way?

Andretti Autosport announced that Sage Karam will compete in the Star Mazda series in 2011, completing AA's portfolio of Road to Indy teams.
