Question: If the Speedway wants to move the start time for the 500 back to 11 a.m., that is fine, I will be there either way. But, if anybody thinks this will attract NASCAR's top drivers is dreaming. Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart or Dale Jr. are not going to come. Contractual issues with Chevy and getting enough track time in the car would be impossible. (Kevin, Rockford, Ill.) Answer:...

Question: Where have you been? Totally silent this weekend while we have the biggest IRL story of the year going on with Danica. I am a big IRL fan and will be sad to lose Danica because of the press she gets but OK with it as she is just an average driver compared to the top tier IRL drivers. But I think with the horrible Versus ratings, Chitwood leaving, Tony George removed, no title sponsor, no...

BROOKLYN, Mich. -- Jeff Gordon was one sore driver before Sunday's CARFAX 400 at Michigan International Speedway. He took a wicked lick at Watkins Glen last weekend, slamming into Sam Hornish Jr.'s spinning Dodge during the Cup race there. Gordon rebounded at MIS, finishing second in his Chevy to Brian Vickers, and claiming second place in Cup points.

He may no longer be the winningest driver in IRL history (that honor now belongs to Scott Dixon), but I don’t think Sam Hornish is complaining. While Hornish hasn’t been lighting the world on fire, here and there he has had flashes of brilliance, especially in the last few races. Off the top I will say [...]

The question Danica Patrick fans are asking most often is whether or not she’ll try to move to NASCAR, following the lead of Dario Franchitti and Sam Hornish Jr. Franchitti struggled with the heavier stock cars last year and came back to IndyCar this season. “The NASCAR rumors are true,” Patrick confirmed. “We’re definitely exploring [...] Added by: freshrubber Viewed:...

All of a sudden Watkins Glen has turned into a road course version of Talladega. The huge, gnarly crash that caught Sam Hornish Jr. and Jeff Gordon off guard seemed like a smaller version of “The Big One.” I’m glad everyone was ok after the wreck. Although, Jeff’s bad back was activated. I wonder if [...]
