Apples and Oranges in a way.

Knoxville was a 3 day two qualifying night event. At first qualifying was everything. The Saturday night race had a A,B,C feature with dashes. Drivers from all over...

What I have seen, social distancing doesn't work. Way too many stupid and ignorant people that don't respect others or don't care.

Actually this could be an opportunity for sprint and dirt champ...

There is no quick back to normal. Be safe and be careful. Find multiple news sources.

If you get Haubstadt up in Google map you can see the track at the school and the race track at the same time. School tracks are usually 400 meters or 440 yards or a quarter mile, usually have a...

I think F1 coming back to Indy will fly.

I think the Indy500 is almost bigger than any person or...

The guy is a stand out racer. Presents himself well in a winning situation. Hopefully he gets a shot at the speedway some day if he desires that.

My roku didn't work, finally came back on with Chrome end of the second heat. Had to reset several times.
