Herta to F1 — Sorta
Photo credit -- Penske Entertainment: Joe Skibinski It's been a total non-secret that Colton Herta has always wanted to drive in Formula 1. He was one of the rumored drivers during the entire Andretti Autosport-to-F1 saga, and when it was announced that Cadillac was the chosen American entity to join the sport in 2026, that … Continue reading Herta to F1 — Sorta
Nashville Wrap-Up
Media credit: Penske Entertainment: Joe Skibinski IndyCar dropped the curtain on the 2025 season yesterday at Nashville, and the long winter begins.

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?

The Roar Is Over
If you know where the title of this post comes from, it means we can be friends.

I've been coming to IMS … Continue reading The Roar Is Over

As always, the final round of qualifying for the 108th Indianapolis 500 did not disappoint.
