Here are 2 reasons to watch the 2007 Indy Car Series

Tony Kanaan and Sam Hornish Jr.

Yep, if you're tired of watching Ferrari and McLaren dominate the 2007 F1 season or even more tired of watching NASCAR drivers go around an oval track 300-plus times, then it could be time for you to switch to the ongoing 2007 Indy Car Series.

Apparently, the Indy Car racing season created some kind of a buzz lately with Tony Kanaan and Sam Hornish Jr. almost killed each other inside the pit lane after the Watkins Glen Grand Prix last Sunday.

Tony Kanaan finished fourth at Watkins Glen while Sam Hornish Jr. finished second. Kanaan became irate when Hornish bumped him trying to pass early. The agitated Brazilian felt that Hornish cost him positioning and ALMOST knocked him out of the race.

So what did the Brazilian do? When the race ended, Tony Kanaan sent what was, according to him anyway, ''a quiet message'' by cutting in front of Hornish as they drove toward pit road. The altercation broke out as soon as both Kanaan and Hornish exited their cars.

Tony Kanaan approached Hornish but before the Brazilian got to his target, Sam Hornish Sr. was there to push Kanaan away, that's when the poor old fart got his ass knocked to the ground by Kanaan's party. He he... Hilarious.

''I did not hit his car, I cut in front of him. Was that right? I don't think it was right. I think I have to apologize because, yes, I scared him. But it wasn't like he said, that I was in pit lane,'' Tony Kanaan said.

The Indy Racing League fined both Kanaan and Hornish on Tuesday, placed both on probation through the end of this year and fined and put their teams on probation, as well. Sam Hornish Sr. was suspended from pit lane for Saturday night's Firestone Indy 200 in Tennessee and he was placed on probation until Dec. 31.

Getting suspended after getting his ass knocked down to the ground? He he... Surely, this was not what Hornish Sr. had in mind.
