What a great win for Marco and what an awesome run right now for TK! Just need to get him in the winner's circle, but KV Racing is making a dent. Hildebrand is running pretty consistent as well. Nice run for American drivers. Will this start to…

Indianapolis 500 Pre-Race Chills

What has been your favorite pre-race activity, event, song or guest before any 500? List the year! Before, this year, mine was the Blackhawks the flew over at the conclusion of General Cody's speech in 2006. Now, it was General Peter W. Chiarelli's speech itself that replaced that moment. It was one of the most inspirational speeches I've ever heard and I've been looking for audio/video of his pre-race speech at this year's race. It was the first time I've gotten chills BEFORE the first…See More

Thank you, Will Power

Thank you, Will Power.  Thank you. You inspired me out of retirement (temporarily).

Rumors of my death have been modestly exaggerated

Since the last time I spoke with you, quite a bit has happened.  Lord Randall has made all right with the world.  Versus has poached the great blogging talents like it’s Roger Penske in an Andretti Store (namely Hobbson and the resurrected Jeff’s Name Ain’t IRL).  Robin Miller is the happiest man in the [...]

A Journalistic Disturbance in the Force?

Tonight’s most special of guests on Trackside with Curt Cavin and Kevin Lee (8-10 EDT at 1070thefan.com) is none other than the legendary Robin Miller.  Two will enter, but only one will leave.  Either way, Kevin Lee will have to clean up the mess…poor guy. Here’s hoping for a complete and total absence of decorum.

Come On, Drivers, You’re Better than That…

If you follow the IndyCar Series as closely as some, you know that there is a bunch whining and finger-pointing going on in the twittersphere.  I won’t go into too much detail here, as Dale Nixon has done a far better job than I care to do, but that doesn’t mean I can’t express my [...]

A Shocker if Nothing Else

I was probably 99.9% certain that the choice to come down from the ICONIC committee today would be Lola and Dallara in a dual-spec series.  I was shocked to find out that they had basically poached half of the good ideas of the Delta Wing instead, while keeping some semblance of evolution to the car. In a [...]

My Favorite 500 Memory

Posted on April 8, 2010 at 2:00pm 2 Comments

I think my favorite IndyCar memory will be a little different than most. I have many friends who didn't grow up around Indy and attending the Indy 500. Most of them just don't get it, when it comes to why the 500 is so great. My best memory has to be finally convincing one of my best friends to come to the race with me.


Though every part of the race (including pre and post race activities) was great, I have to say there are a few memories I can point out from my…

Underexposed = Maximum Appreciation

Posted on June 18, 2008 at 11:54am 1 Comment

It almost feels surreal there is an IndyCar race this weekend.



I have spent many weekends asking myself, why aren't there more races? Why aren't the races moved up to be on back to back weekends. Then I realized, if that were the case, I wouldn't have this "Super Bowl" type feeling in my stomach every time a lonely IndyCar-less weekend ends and a glorious IndyCar week begins. The time in between the races almost gives the sport a little more mystique, a little more prestige. I am… Continue
