Well, the time is finally here: the biggest sporting event in the world! And the best as far as I’m concerned. Sunday is the 96th running of the Indianapolis 500.
It is a day that is much more than a race. It is the crowd. It is the colors. It is the sounds. It is the tears that will be flowing from my eyes (along …
Indy 500 Pole Day is easily one of the most dramatic days in sports each year. Last year proved why it is one of the best days on the sporting calendar. In 2011, Sam Schmidt Motorsports’ Alex Tagliani grabbed the top spot from the favorites as he was literally the final qualifier for the day in the Fast Nine Shootout.
This year’s Pole Day should …
The 138th running of the Kentucky Derby is hours away. It’s an opportunity for many of us in the Midwest and all across the country to join together for one of the truest forms of “Americana” every year.

One of the most popular drivers in Formula 1 officially (and finally) announced today that he is coming over to the IZOD IndyCar Series for the 2012 season.
On the surface to many casual racing fans, this may seem as though it’s not that big of a deal. It’s just a driver changing leagues. But, in fact, this may be the biggest driver switching over …
The best way to describe Speedweeks so far this year: unpredictable. Every race seems to have had a surprise winner, close-quarters racing and lots of carnage.

The IZOD IndyCar Series has a lot to look forward to in 2012. After last season tragically ended in October with the passing of Dan Wheldon, league officials are looking ahead toward the future. And they are focused on gaining a new audience and improving the racing as soon as possible.
