YES, He REALLY Said That Tony Kanaan, IRL champion, on NASCAR: "There's no doubt NASCAR is akin to a religion in the USA right now, but many people - and most open-wheel fans for that matter - question the way their races always seem to have a Hollywood ending. Not to take anything away from Dale (Earnhardt) Jr.'s victory right after his father died, or Jimmie Johnson's successes following the Hendrick plane tragedy, but these sorts of 'coincidences' can make you go 'hmmm' sometimes."
