It’s Easy to Separate Winner From Whiner in Indianapolis 500

According to Indy 500 driver Scott Goodyear, “Everybody in the world knows who won this race.”

Jacques Villeneuve, assessed a two-lap penalty for a yellow-flag violation, regroups, overcomes a few more mistakes and wins the race. Mr. Goodyear, on the other hand, is assessed a stop-and-go for virtually the same offense as that of Mr. Villeneuve, refuses to acknowledge it and then whines his head off about the unfairness of it all.

I don’t know about everybody else in the world, but I certainly had no trouble discerning winners and losers in this situation.
