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
indy gp wrap
Since we only got in about 25 minutes of running time before rain wiped out the first day of practice for the 108th Indianapolis 500, it means I still have time to put down my thoughts on last Saturday's Indy GP. First the good stuff: cars were on track at IMS. Cool. Now the rest: … Continue reading indy gp wrap
thoughts on bama
Hey, y'all, guess what? It's Maaaaayyyy! May is my favorite month for a lot of reasons: the weather is getting better and will (hopefully) stay that way, everything is turning green, it's my birthday month -- and next year that will fall on Race Day -- and of course, the Greatest Spectacle in Racing will … Continue reading thoughts on bama
it’s a bad week for indycar

And with another race this weekend at Barber Motorsports Park, there was a lot to get excited about as we head into … Continue reading it’s a bad week for indycar
LOOKING BACK AT ST. PETE
It was great to see IndyCar back on track over the weekend in St. Pete. We weren't treated to the greatest race in history -- more on that later -- but winter is officially over and we have 16 more races to enjoy between now and September. Here are a few thoughts I have from … Continue reading LOOKING BACK AT ST. PETE

A Tale of Two Races (Bommarito 500 Review)
We as fans received the opportunity to watch INDYCAR in person. We got a weekend with two completely different races at the same racetrack. Worldwide Technology Raceway Park asked us to socially distance and to wear masks. I’ll say that as far as compliance goes, it was great. I’d put it at only 5% of … Continue reading A Tale of Two Races (Bommarito 500 Review)
Bump Up the Grip (Texas Review)
Moment of honesty? I spent practice, qualification, and the race texting with Abby and Juliana (our driver analyst). We were all nervous going into the race. Texas Motor Speedway is not for the faint of heart, and there was one practice before qualifications and then right into the race. I’m pleased the nagging dread we … Continue reading Bump Up the Grip (Texas Review)
