Tracy Takes On...Giving Up

Reasons given why Paul Tracy didn't run the upcoming Nascar race at Michigan:

--CART pathetically begged him not to go.

--His mom threatened to show up in the pits.

--Controversial "no Canadiens" policy not recinded.

--Intimidated by the awe-inspiring alliance of Jimmy Spencer and Peak Motorsports

--Pursing the CART World Championship's grand prize: $500 and a trip to Denver.

--Thinks he's too good for stock car racing, but apparently IS good enough to run obscure races for a dying series.

--Kevin Harvick got his cell phone number, and won't stop bugging him.

--Martin Truex has the rights to the #1. And if you can't be #1, what's the point?
