Note to the gullible: this is all fiction.
Andretti Green Racing team officials Wednesday angrily demanded that Buddy Rice's car be "completely dismantled and thoroughly inspected."
AGR officials even suggested calling in some NASCAR inspectors, "the ones who busted Waltrip and those people," to take a look at Rice's car.
The outburst was apparently caused by Dreyer & Reinbold Racing's Rice posting a faster speed than AGR member Danica Patrick at the Homestead Miami test on Tuesday. Rice's top time was 25.1974 seconds (212.283 mph) while Danica posted a time of 25.2214 secodns (211.963 mph).
"Obviously, Buddy is cheating," said one AGR team member who asked not to be named. "Even with Danica's weight advantage, you can't tell me a DRR car is going to be faster than her." The AGR member did concede that drag from all the additional sponsor stickers on the AGR car may have been a factor.
"One day of testing, smartass," AGR officials said, "it don't mean that much."
Rice was "teammates" with Danica Patrick last season at Rahal Letterman. Insiders say he is unlikely to shed tears over beating Danica on the track, even during a testing session.
NO he wont shed a tear he isnt a cry baby!!!

The fact that Rice is faster than DP in clearly inferior equipment illustrates what a turd of a car the RLR guys were giving him over the past few years. Funny, does anyone ever notice though how DP can't seem to get out of her own way in testing and the race, but qualifies much faster?
