First off let me appologize for not writing over the last couple months, it’s been kind of hectic here in the newsroom and it hasn’t left me much time for blogging. If you have any questions or comments on the revised TV section let me know at jessica.coudare@lee.net. Also we’ll be making some small changes to [...]
NASCAR — Kyle Busch just keeps winning. He’s somehow avoided the wrecks and made it to the front. At this point, and yes there’s lot of racing left, but the title is his to lose. Of course with the points being reset after Richmond in September it is anybody’s game.
On the penalties received by Haas [...]
For the NASCAR fans I appologize I didn’t get a chance to watch the 600 as I was here working. I however get the chance to see the Indy 500.
Thought it was a pretty good race and Scott Dixon was a deserving winner. It was unfortunate to see so many yellow flags, but that’s how [...]
I have to admit, while I’m not a Mario Dominguez fan, I let out a loud ‘No’ at the TV when he crashed during his final attempt Sunday at Indianapolis. The reason being I wanted to see the little guy make the field. Dominguez drives for Pacific Coast Motorsports and is one of the teams [...]
There will be some bumping happening Sunday in Indianapolis, but how much we won’t know until the track opens up. Right now there are four drivers still not qualified for the race, but three of those had accidents and are scrambling to put the cars back together for Bump Day. I haven’t seen rumors of [...]
First off, sorry it’s been awhile, things have been kind of hectic around here. It’s definitely not because of a lack of things to write about. So let’s just get to it.
* Congratulations to Ashley Force for being the first woman to win a NHRA Funny Car final and to lead the point standings. Now time will [...]
It was announced yesterday that Mario Dominguez and Pacific Coast Motorsports would join the ranks of the IndyCar Series. That’s great for both Dominguez and PCM.
Dominguez has grown considerably as a driver since he joined the ChampCar series in 2002. In his first year he finished 18th out of 23 drivers, and also had the lowest point [...]
It took 50 races, but Danica Patrick won her first race in the IndyCar series Saturday in Motegi Japan. It was pretty cool to watch. There has been so much hype surrounding Patrick since she led the Indy 500 during her rookie season. She’s led races, but then something has always happened to prevent her [...]
This weekend some names that should be racing every week in a fully funded car will have a chance to compete in two different races. I’m not talking about the two open wheel races happening this weekend, although this does involve guys that were at one point in their career were regulars on the Champ [...]
Congratulations to Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing’s Graham Rahal getting his first win in IndyCar series racing and the first for the former Champ Car drivers. He also is the youngest driver to win an IRL race, topping Marco Andretti’s achievement by 73 days.
I loved seeing the rain in St. Petersburg when I turned on the TV, to me [...]
