Power Rankings: End of the 2022 season

It’s hard to believe the 2022 season has come to an end. One of the most competitive seasons in recent memory saw nine different drivers go to victory circle and six different drivers lead the Burnout Sports power rankings. We saw Josef Newgarden win on all three types of circuits, oval, street and road course. […]

The 2022 IndyCar season has been a wild one to say the least. A driver with one win leads the championship standings over drivers that have collected 5,3 and 2 wins on the year. On Sunday, Scott McLaughlin continued his rise to stardom in IndyCar with his third win of the year. As IndyCar makes […]

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 […]

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 […]

Power Rankings: Toronto

We more than likely knew this was coming. It has happened every year dating back to 2023. Some have said it’s been a down year for Scott Dixon and the #9 Chip Ganassi Racing team. Although he leads the series in Top 10 finishes, a mental error cost Dixon his second Indy 500 win. After […]

Power Rankings: Mid-Ohio

With Mid-Ohio in the rear view and Toronto on the horizon, this weeks Power Rankings return Will Power to the top. He sits second in points behind Marcus Ericsson after a spin on lap one caused Power to fall to the back of the field. He charged to a podium finish. The competition level in […]

Power Rankings: Road America

We have reached the halfway point of one of the most competitive seasons in IndyCar history. A new Indy 500 winner has been crowned, five different drivers have won a race, and the pole speed record at the Indianapolis 500 has been broken. 35 drivers have taken the green flag in 2022 including the first […]

Power Rankings: Indy 500

The Power Rankings have been hella shook up with the month of May now in the rear view mirror. With a wet and wild Indy Grand Prix, track record setting speeds in qualifying and a new Indy 500 champion crowned, the month of May never disappoints. Yes, of course Marcus Ericsson is first on the […]
