It was as if he never left. Dario Franchitti picked up right where he left off two years ago in the Indy Racing League, winning his second Indycar title in three years after a stellar season, his first back in the series after trying NASCAR. It was not easy for Franchitti, who was in a three-car battle for the championship with Target-Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon, and Penske Racing driver Ryan Briscoe. The two traded the points lead off throughout the season-ending event at Homestead-Miami Speedway. But in the end, both Briscoe and Dixon made pit stops inside 10 [...]

Oh, the irony. After months of beating up on NASCAR driver, Jeremy Mayfield, for allegedly using methamphetamines, it has been reported today that Brian France’s cousin, J.C. France, was arrested this(Thursday) morning for drug possession. France was reportedly racing his half-brother around the city of Daytona Beach, Florida(illegally, of course), when he was pulled over by a police officer for a traffic violation.

France is currently behind [...]

Danica Patrick had better hurry up and make a decision about her racing future, before one of her Indycar counterparts beats her to it. Vitor Meira, best known for his wild ride in the 2009 Indianapolis 500(seen by clicking on the link below), along with Formula 1 driver Nelson Piquet, will be testing Camping World trucks on Monday for Red Horse Racing in Rockingham. Video: Meira, Matos crash Meira, who was involved in the horrific accident with Rafael Matos, is in the car riding up against the wall on its side, by the way.

Hey, I bet you’ll never guess who came to my house for lunch yesterday! Give up yet? Okay, here we go. Jeff Burton! I know what you’re thinking: “Jeff Burton was racing in Kansas yesterday.” Yes, he was. So how could Jeff Burton have eaten lunch at my house yesterday if he was racing?

Alright, a lot to discuss once again here on this, the longest day of the week. So let’s get started: [...]
