Sarah Palin congratulates winning Iron Dog team, and makes excuses for her fake husband's fake attempt to participate in the race.

Congratulations Iron Dog champs Team #16 Minnick/Olstad! It was great seeing racers cross the finish line on the frozen Chena River in Fairbanks yesterday.

Team #11 Palin/Huntington had to leave the hunt early due to a rarely seen crank shaft bearing failure (yes, these racers are mechanics speaking their own language), so they jumped in support mode for others in the extended family of hardcore endurance racers.

They jumped into "support mode?"

Didn't they simply run right back to Wasilla?

How exactly was that supportive to the other teams?

Okay I have a silly question. How is it that there was a crank shaft bearing failure so quickly along the trail with this group of guys supposedly working to make the snowmachine race ready?

Here is how Palin described this photo right before the race:

The guys doing last minute wrenching before the start of the 2000-mile long Iron Dog race tomorrow! And taking a break to "fuel up" on (the usual) moose chili and blueberry pie.

So that "last minute wrenching" did not include checking the crank shaft bearings? How odd.

Well on the plus side I understand that the Sportsman Channel got all the footage they needed for the first episode of Amazing America.

And really once you have that what's the point in actually finishing the race?

Especially when you know there is no way to win?
