Racer's Luck

I'm feeling a bit sorry for Kosuke Matsuura. He's the only Japanese driver in the IRL. A couple of weeks ago he was fined just because he didn't know that there are some English words that you can't say on live TV. This week the league made its annual visit to the Land of the Rising Sun. I'm sure Kosuke wanted to make a good impression on the local crowd and the local sponsors. Crashing into the wall on the first lap surely made an impression, but perhaps not what he was hoping for.
