One of the best NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races every year is the annual Daytona night race on the Fourth of July weekend. But this year, the Coke Zero 400 did NOT live up to its name.
What you usually expect is great side-by-side racing, even though it is clearly manufactured by the restrictor plates.
This year though at all these restrictor plate tracks, we …
Saturday night’s IZOD IndyCar Series race at Iowa was by far the best race of the season. Yes, the ending might not have been as dramatic as the final ten laps of the Indy 500; but the racing from the drop of the green flag to the checkered flag was unmatched by any race this year.
Every lap the cars were going side-by-side. As the …
The IZOD IndyCar Series hits the 7/8-mile racetrack in Iowa this weekend. The same in years past right? Wrong! This time it is under the lights on a Saturday night. (And because of this, the event is a sellout.)
The track is one of the best in the series as far as I’m concerned, because the cars can run flat out the whole way around. …
The Firestone Dual 275s on Saturday night left a lot to be desired.
I remember when I first heard about the idea that I was stoked about it, because, as a fan, it plays right into my court. Two short “sprints” with the starting grid for the second determined by a lottery.

This race had it all! It had rain, internal team problems, …
The next couple days mark another great weekend for racing fans. No, it is not as good as the Memorial Day drama that is the Indy 500, Monaco Grand Prix and Coca Cola 600…but, it is right up there. Here is a quick look at the big five this weekend:
The IZOD IndyCar Series hits the 1.5 mile banked oval of Texas Motor Speedway for …
It is hard to explain what actually happened Sunday afternoon during the final laps of the 100th anniversary of the Indy 500.
An American rookie was a turn away from winning the biggest motorsport race in the world, when he made literally his ONLY mistake the entire month and slapped the wall to give the lead to a previous winner of the race.
But, there …
Working my second Indianapolis 500 was again amazing. There is nothing like covering the largest single day sporting event in the world! The access is unprecedented and 95% of the drivers are fun to work with.
This year had the usual drama. How much practice time would the teams have to work with, what driver would be on the verge of missing the race and …
