Hmmm … guess we can’t quite thank Tony George for ’saving American open-wheel’ just yet. You know … by thanking him for his incredibly rushed, half-assed efforts to put at least part of IRL/CART back together before the Indy 500 — trying, trying, trying to prove that international motorsports’ enthusiasts haven’t given up on [...]

… well … who’d want Ecclestone as a ‘friend’, for any reason? lol … moot point there, then!
THAT said … here’s my (main) issue: if I was truly a ‘friend of anyone for 40 years‘, I’d keep my mouth shut about his or her peronsal actions and/or professional decisions — except for a private one-on-one, [...]
[Update: Link to newer Milwaukee race's Meira post, with vid ... jump here.]
This is one of the only times that I’ve truly despised the racin’ term “second place only means that you’re the first loser”. One of those rare times, actually, and only because Vitor Meira’s impressive performance in the Indy 500 last weekend [...]

When [Kevin] Harvick entered the Cup Series, it wasn’t without controversy. In 2002, his second season in Cup, he was suspended for a Cup race due to aggressive driving in a Truck Series event at Martinsville. Six years later Harvick finds himself as the team owner of the defending Truck Series champion. [Hit his [...]
I’m sorry that I missed posting about this until now, but thank God for broadcast media (sometimes, lol). Tonight’s feature on Donny Lia during Dover’s NCTS pre-show reminded me what a great finish last weekend’s truck race was; and, the up-close & personal interview with Lia, etc. allowed all of us to see him as [...]
Ok, so I posted what I considered to be a very enthusiastic “COOL, PT’s comin’ to NASCAR!“-type deal yesterday morning (complete with vids, no less, lol — impressed yet?)
Now, of course, soon after, Marc (from Full Throttle/F1Rage and multiple other terrific racin’ commentary arenas, of course — though God knows how he finds the time [...]

At Last, at last, 18 at last. Joey Logano has been waiting for that magic number to arrive. He is a development driver for Joe Gibbs Racing. He got a lot of attention a few weeks ago when he won the Carolina 500 from the pole at Rockingham in his ARCA REMAX SERIES debut.

Grrr, it is true. Somebody stole Grumpy’s beloved Chevy wagon. Tear my heart out with a dull butter knife and stomp on it. this car was my cruiser. I have never owned a car as long as I have this seemingly common car. For the record, it is a 1988 Chevy Caprice wagon. You know [...]
Jump straight to Frontstretch for this one, because chances are real good that you already know exactly where I stand on this subject, lol — though Jeff Meyer truly does it justice … if you’re into chucklin’ a lot, anyway. Now, get ready … ready … ready — JUMP!
