Juniors earn trip to track nationals

By Rob DeWitte · Wednesday, June 4,2003 9:20 p.m.

Prior to leaving for the NCAA Regional meet at Ohio State University last weekend, few gave juniors Pat Miller and Tom Burns more than an outside shot at qualifying for the NCAA Championships in Sacramento. Good thing predictions are useless. Instead, both ended up with bids to the final collegiate meet, where they will vie for All-America status.

NFL tied to domestic violence

By Zack Eldridge · Wednesday, June 4,2003 9:19 p.m.

A perplexing question to answer is does football promote violence in teenagers and adults who regularly watch NFL games? A recent study by IU researchers says when it comes to cases of domestic violence, football does not encourage as much of it as once thought.

Foreign drivers, motors dominate race

By Dan Patrick · Sunday, June 1,2003 9:29 p.m.

When the Indy Racing League originally was founded in 1996 by Tony George, its main goal was to counter NASCAR's growing dominance through the use of more home-grown American drivers. However, it now seems the "American way" has been lost at the Indianapolis 500. In fact, if this year's Indianapolis 500 results can be used as a gauge, it seems that the IRL was founded to showcase Brazilian drivers rather than their American counterparts. Gil de Ferran, the soft-spoken Penske driver, took this year's race, followed closely by the more flamboyant 2001 and 2002 winner Helio Castroneves, and third place went to Tony Kanaan -- all Brazilian drivers.

2003 Indy 500

By Zack Eldridge · Wednesday, May 28,2003 9:08 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- While inexperience showed at times for rookie drivers in the 87th running of the Indianapolis 500, nerves did not, as the majority of rookies not only finished the race, but did so in remarkable fashion. Six of the nine rookies finished in the top 15 of the Indy 500 Sunday. Tora Takagi, driver of the No. 12 Pioneer car, finished fifth and was the highest-placing rookie. Takagi described his success at the Brickyard and the privilege of leading the rookie field. "I am very happy with this result in my first Indy 500 race," Takagi said. "My car was always fast this month. I wish I could have finished about two places higher, because I think we were capable of finishing at least third. But overall, I am happy with being the highest-finishing rookie in the race. That is a great honor."

By Michael Marot · Wednesday, May 21,2003 7:33 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Al Unser Jr. always thought he was in control. On the track, he was a champion. Off it, he enjoyed the good times. His life changed forever on the morning of July 9, 2002. After a night of drinking in Indianapolis, Unser was arrested after his girlfriend accused him of hitting her and leaving her on the side of the highway after an argument. He spent a night in jail and his mugshot was published in newspapers.
