Re: Kyle Larson - Will we ever see him at Indy for the 500?

Correct, but let's not forget that there have also been delayed Daytona races in that post '95 era that outdrew the 500. It's a work in progress and a very complex thing and not as simple of a fix,...

Re: Kyle Larson - Will we ever see him at Indy for the 500?

Funny thing is this 500 full of drivers that some of you on here claim that no one knows because they didn't spend the early years of their racing education slinging dirt at Eldora, Terre Haute,...

I'm not saying to be a smart A, so don't take it that way, but I always see this on here. Where did they come from, who are they? If we had more local guys more people would watch. There is whole...

Re: F1 - Halo to the Rescue (Spoiler)

Blaming Penske, like some of you do, is laughable at best. His team had only ran 12 races up to the end of the 1970 season and wouldn't be full time until around 1972. I would love to hear how he...
