Lessons from March Madness.....Time to Play Ball!

I love auto racing...but I also love other sports. I like to see the skill, the passion, the competition, and the lessons that can be learned from other sports...here is what I have learned from watching college basketball and how I think it applies to auto racing:

Don't ever, and I mean ever, think you know who is going to win! It doesn't matter what the record, what the rank, what the skill level, what the experts say, anybody can beat anybody at anytime. There have already been some big upsets in the March Madness college basketball tournaments, sure there might always be some power house schools who always have good programs, but there are plenty of upsets. In auto racing, don't ever think you can easily beat your opponent just because you are "better" than they are, don't ever take someone too easily. In addition, don't ever think that someone else is going to beat you because they are supposedly "better than you." In any sporting event the team or the driver that wins is the one that performed the best that day!

OK, it is time to play Ball...I mean go Racing!
