What's left to be done in IndyCar Offseason

With Portland in the rearview mirror, It’s hard to believe IndyCar only has one more green flag left to finish up 2022. It’s been an epic battle for the points championship between three of the best drivers we will ever see. We’ve gotten to know so many drivers over a short period of time, welcomed […]

Power Rankings: St. Louis

I was wrong, as I can sometimes be. In last week's power rankings, I predicted Scott Dixon would not vacate the top of the standings. Well, Josef Newgarden decided to continue his dominance at Gateway by winning for a 5th time in 2022. It was Newgardens 25th win of his career. It once again has […]

2007: Dixon and Dario Duel

After securing his 53rd win and surviving the chaos that was Nashville, I asked Scott Dixon about being 6 points back of the points leader Will Power. He told me “I think more about the ones we lost, I lost 76 points to Marcus (at the Indy 500). It sucks but nothing we can do.” […]

Power Rankings: Nashville

It was a wild race from Nashville. Some have referred to it as Crashville. Although the crash damage for many teams wasn’t exactly where they would want it to be, I thought it was an entertaining race. As Colton Herta pointed out, sometimes you need a wildcard race to spice things up, that is certainly […]

Power Rankings: Iowa

If you didn’t make it to Iowa Speedway this weekend, you simply missed out. In my 25 years of attending races, I have never seen a sponsor activate so well for a race weekend. Not even Marlboro brought in four headlining concerts and a mini grocery store to the race track in the 1990s. A […]
