  Jari-Matti Latvala described his win on Rally New Zealand as “unbelievable” after he edged out Sebastien Ogier by just 2.4 seconds in what equaled the third-closest finish to a World Rally Championship event. The Ford star and his co-driver, Miikka Anttila, started the final...

  Peugeot won the 1,000 kilometers of Spa-Francorchamps--a round of the European Le Mans Series--on Sunday, putting on a dominating display to take the top two podium places and beating down arch-rival Audi. Simon Pagenaud, Sebastien Bourdais and Pedro Lamy took the overall win in their 908 HDi...

  After two seasons with no off-season testing at Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR may bring back the tests leading up to the 2011 season. Daytona will be repaved after the July 400-miler. (Remember that pothole that opened up in Turn 4 during the 500, twice stopping the race while...

  Hurtling toward the grand opening of its Hall of Fame on Tuesday in Charlotte, NASCAR has its marketing pedal to the medal--including at-track promotion of the five inaugural inductees. Jamie McMurray, whose Chevrolet started on the pole in the Showtime Southern 500, will sport a decal...

The Victory Junction Gang Camp was conceived in 2002 and born in 2004. It honors Adam Petty,...

  Michelin is said to have dropped its proposed price for a supply of Formula One tires for 2011 in a bid to convince the teams and the FIA that it is the most logical candidate. Sources suggest that the original figure of €5 million per team ($6.4 million) for a season has been dramatically ...

  Denny Hamlin held off teammate Kyle Busch in a series of late-race restarts to win Friday night's NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Darlington Raceway. Hamlin took the lead when he opted to take only two tires during the final pit stops for the two Toyota drivers. He led the last 63 laps of...
