Jorg Bergmeister, in the white jacket, and Richard Lietz, on Bergmeister's left, meet before the start of the ...
Indianapolis claims to be the center of world racing. So does Daytona. If nothing else, their slogans represent marketing hyperbole perfect for plastering across T-shirts and every officially licensed product the tracks' marketeers can think of. But both have the history and the credentials to make a strong argument that they deserve their titles. (I once had a catalog of Michael Schumacher-...

  BMW's M3 GT2 won the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring, held Saturday-Sunday on the legendary Nordschleife circuit. The race, which also included use of the current Grand Prix circuit--linked to the old course--also saw Porsche run its 911 GT3 R Hybrid, which led the event through the...

  It's hard to say Mark Webber is peaking this early in the season but with two straight victories he's definitely hitting full stride. His latest came on Sunday when he won the Monaco Grand Prix--a touchstone moment for any driver--and he now stands atop the championship standings with Red Bull...

  Helio Castroneves remained the fastest driver at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, proof that he's the driver to beat as Indianapolis 500 qualifying nears. But at least two drivers are thankful they're in strong position to contend for the pole. Dan Wheldon and Scott Dixon nearly collided...

  Kyle Busch held back a grin when he said with great sincerity, “I think we were going to beat him, anyway, but I don't know. The 48 was really, really fast today. But just in case, I thought I'd coax him into speeding a little bit.” Whether Busch coaxed Jimmie Johnson into anything...

  Ford expects to have its new FR-9 engine in eight of its Fusions at next weekend's Sprint Challenge and Sprint All-Star races at Charlotte Motor Speedway. By the middle of the summer Roush Fenway Racing and Richard Petty Motorsports expect to be running the new engine in almost every race. Team...

  It was a day for milestones at the Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway on Sunday. Larry Dixon won for the 52nd time in his career, which tied him for second on the all-time Top Fuel career victory list with Joe Amato, and Pro Stocker Jeg Couglin Jr. won for the...

  M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson is confident of running private teams in Fiestas alongside the BP Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team in next season's series. Such a move will require regulation change from the FIA, which currently says that a WRC team may only participate using cars...

  The finish to Saturday afternoon's Heluva Good! Nationwide Series 200 at Dover International Speedway was about as bizarre and controversial as the finish to Friday afternoon's Camping World Truck Series 200. The biggest difference was that Kyle Busch managed to seal the deal that he couldn't quite ...

  Aric Almirola was down two laps at one point--but thanks some improbable luck and a gutsy effort on the final restart--he secured his first victory in the Truck Series with a win Friday evening at Dover International Speedway. Almirola won by about 10 car lengths over James Buescher and...

  Formula One video games have been pretty lackluster, to say the least. F1 Championship Edition, the last attempt for Sony was disappointing visually and never really found its stride on PlayStation 3. Now one of our favorite game companies, Codemasters, has a new F1 game that will be released in...
