Excerpt:

Nearly 12 weeks after winning his first IndyCar championship, Ryan Hunter-Reay will finally get to accept his trophy in an event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. A minimum of for one night, the attention will be on Hunter-Reay and everything that went right last season in IndyCar. The celebration on Thursday night will be a welcome respite from the debate that's engulfed the series because the season ended in September. IndyCar's management has been absolutely nothing but a catastrophe because the season ended with the Hulman & Co. board of directors stumbling along until CEO Randy Bernard was let go. The board let Bernard twist for months and then tried to paint his rushed Oct. 28 termination as a "mutual separation" that exasperated followers.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
