This whole story is a bit over the top but I just have to comment on one part in particular ...

There was the tragic story of Randy Linebach, the 49-year-old Michigan owner and driver who was killed during a practice run Friday morning.

But when the investigation is complete later this week, I don't think you will find that any blame on the course, the depth of the Mississippi Sound or any other conjured problems the cynics suspected beforehand.
Seeing as the accident did not occur on the race course nor in the sound, of course there will be no blame on the course or the depth the sound. The use of the term "practice run" by the author is actually quite misleading I think.

I was at the same press conference with the reporter from the Sun Herald. Here's the facts as they told them to us.

The accident happened three miles west of the race course. The accident happened at 10:15 am. No race support boats were available at the time because the testing session on Friday was from set to be from noon until 3pm.

He died from punctured lungs.

No further details will be released until the investigation is completed by the coroners office and USCG.

I don't want to waste a lot of time ripping this reporter up, but according to his assumptions, then this manner of changing your oil must be safe because this man incurred no incidents in this picture?

A hypothesis is not very credible with a sample of 1.
