Is it because he’s just shy of the requisite 3.6 billion ”Shout Outs?”
… because he’s too entertaining?
… because instead of mincing words, he jams them down your eye sockets with a cattle prod?
… because his cattle prod is only a metaphorical one, made of realism & insight? Would you prefer it to be an actual cattle prod? Because that’d be a felony of some sort.
… because he’s allergic to boring?
… because his dad is James Bond?
… because when Life throws lemons at him, he makes a homemade battle axe & beats Life senseless for disrespecting him?
… because he’s as corporate as an Indonesian water bong?
… because of that badass car? Is it just TOO hardcore? TOO fitting? Is it because it’s precisely what the Minotaur would be driving if he ever rolled up into an IndyCar race? (Masterfully done, Mike Cockrall Aldo Falla. [Fixed. -RH])
… because he drives like a prison riot?
… because prison riots are too METAL!?!?!
… because he’s so desparately needed in the Series?
… because he’s too different?
… because he’s too interesting?
… because he’s too talented?
… because seriously, is that car just too f–king dope?
… or is it because he’ll inevitably make you too proud?

Wow!!!! I knew Hurricanes want to be named Paul Tracy, but that is awesome.

Come on, Roy.. he’s not Chuck Norris or anything.
Seriously, though, massive thanks for the shout. Mike and I are really amazed as how this has caught on like wildfire. It’s so great to see the fans rally for such an important cause.
And props to Aldo Falla for the livery design. You can find him here: http://www.alfaliverydesign.com/

My name looks cool in strikeout!!! Maybe I’ll patent it as my signature.
Aldo deserves the credit, best livery artist in the world.

Support PT — go drink a 6-pack of Monster & then punch a dullard in the hamstring!!!!

The Minotaur?
Seems about right.

The sight of Paul Tracy in an Indycar makes lesser drivers pee in their pants, that’s why he needs more sponsorship money, its to pay for the dry cleaning of other peoples race suits.

Hells yeah – get PT and Scheckter in the series full time and let the pissing begin! I would really love to see Ganassi cry…and Ashley would probably have some AWESOME comments – but then again we wouldn’t see her mug on camera if other people were winning….This would be WIN WIN for everyone!!!

We all love Helio but c’mon who doesn’t want to see PT beat Helio for a race win or two. Indianapolis and Toronto in 2010 would do nicely. In all seriousness though, MONSTER, get this man a ride. He’s just awesome.

That car really does break up the “red car” boredom. DCR, Penske, Ganassi, NHL, all have red cars! Plus, PT in any team but floyt and 3g will increase they’re competitveness by 100%

Hope PT gets in. Even if Monster doesn’t, having the shout outs could get some other sponsor in.

You guys are all missing the point. It’s cause he’s Canadian.
