While I’m told that today was the last day I’d be having these problems, I have an engagement to attend to this evening, so I can’t write up a normal re-cap of Sunday’s race.

There’s a lot of work to do yet, but the unification of open-wheel racing has done the IndyCar Series some good in the first half of the 2008 campaign.
In the television department, the IRL has scored bigger ratings on all three of its major TV channels. Also, at-track merchandise sales have jumped 70 percent, and that has a chance to increase in the future with Izod set to announce ...

Straight-line testing gets the job done for AGR, Penske, Ganassi
While I’m sure there’s more to the utter dominance of Andretti Green, Team Penske and Target Chip Ganassi Racing in the IndyCar Series, USA Today’s Nate Ryan may have found one really good reason why the Big Three have been that way for several years now.
It ain’t glamorous, but apparently, ...
