Media credit: Penske Entertainment: Joe Skibinski IndyCar dropped the curtain on the 2025 season yesterday at Nashville, and the long winter begins. It's 181 days until the 2026 opener at St. Pete, but who's counting? Yeah, I know, we all are. Here's what's weird: it's been more than 200 days since the Super Bowl, and … Continue reading Nashville Wrap-Up

What The Fox Is Going On?
It's been a couple of weeks since it was announced that Fox had bought a significant stake in both IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and it's taken me that long to sort through how I feel about the whole thing. Of course, like anything at the start, it's all kittens and rainbows. Fox is … Continue reading What The Fox Is Going On?
Will Power. Make it Make Sense
Photo credit: Penske Entertainment: Chris Jones Sometimes the racing world baffles me. Growing up following stick-and-ball sports, I've always believed that pro sports are a meritocracy. The best players play. Yes, I know that there are always politics involved. Trust me, covering minor league baseball for 15 years, I watched players with seven-figure bonuses get … Continue reading Will Power. Make it Make Sense
Wrapping Up Monterrey
We're back! Well, we've actually never been away, it just seems like it. I think between us, Abby and I have attended most of the races this season, but haven't done anything on the blog/podcast side. Oh, well, it's Monday, isn't that when all good things start? Anyway, yesterday was another runaway win for Alex … Continue reading Wrapping Up Monterrey
The Best of IndyCar, 2024
Can you believe that the NTT IndyCar Series will be on track at St. Pete in just 10 short days? Where has the winter gone? Yeah, I'm kidding. It's freezing cold, and it's been 156 days since the last race. In all honestly, it's sucked. But, the off-season is behind us now. The cars are … Continue reading The Best of IndyCar, 2024

Road America Wrap-Up
Like a lot of you, I spent this past weekend at America's National Park of Speed, Road America. Outside of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Road America is my second-favorite track on the schedule. If you've never been, put it on your list, because it is well worth it. The area around the track is beautiful, … Continue reading Road America Wrap-Up
The Roar Is Over
If you know where the title of this post comes from, it means we can be friends. That used to be the title of the Indianapolis 500 wrap-up show on one of the local television stations, and I always think about that when I leave the Speedway after a race. I've been coming to IMS … Continue reading The Roar Is Over
wrapping up pole day
As always, the final round of qualifying for the 108th Indianapolis 500 did not disappoint. Both the Last Chance Shootout and the Firestone Fast 6 came down to the last driver on track, and eventually we saw the fastest pole speed in history, and a front row the likes of we haven't seen in 36 … Continue reading wrapping up pole day
