Looking to get the winless monkey off of his back, Simon Pagenaud surged to a late lead to claim the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. However, in typical Verizon IndyCar Series style, the win came amid controversy. Pagenaud inherited the lead after his final pit stop and withstood a furious charge from Scott Dixon to …
A few days after the announcement that Roger Penske will drive the pace car in May’s 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500, the Captain’s drivers stole the show in Friday’s opening two practice sessions for the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.

After 500 miles – and a few extra hours — of racing (thanks, rain) little change occurred at the top of the Power Rankings. With the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series field starting to get into the meat of the 2016 schedule, the best teams in the series are beginning to establish themselves, and with that, positions …
When it comes to history and tradition, few street circuits in America can compete with Long Beach, California. It was on the streets of Long Beach in 1975 that a man named Chris Pook staged a Formula 5000 race, the first major street race in North America. It was on those same streets in 1976 …
The Verizon IndyCar Series has found success in returning to their roots, both with races, and now, sponsorship.

If there’s one thing that NASCAR’s long, subpar Saturday night at Texas Motor Speedway proved, it’s that the track could serve itself and its fans well by shortening the spring race and placing it during the day. Saturday’s Duck Commander 500 wasn’t as bad as some fans – presumably Kyle Busch haters – are making …
So, how’s that for ending a losing streak? Entering the weekend at Martinsville Speedway with an unexplainable 0-30 record, Kyle Busch took not just one, but two grandfather clocks with the first-ever sweep of the Camping World Truck and Sprint Cup series events at the half-mile paper clip. You won’t be shocked to know that …
Kyle Busch dominated the weekend at Martinsville Speedway, turning his previous 0-30 record at the half-mile paperclip into a two-for-two weekend at the Virginia track.

For the first time since 2005, the Verizon IndyCar Series will race at Phoenix International Raceway, in this weekend’s Desert Diamond West Valley Phoenix Grand Prix. However, while America’s premier open-wheel series may not have visited the Avondale, Arizona, circuit in over a decade, Saturday’s return should feel all-too familiar for most of the drivers, teams and …
It appears one team – KVSH Racing – has fallen victim to the Arizona heat days before Saturday’s Desert Diamond West Valley Phoenix Grand Prix. The one-car Verizon IndyCar Series team’s transporter caught fire while en-route to Phoenix International Raceway.

With a three week gap separating the Verizon IndyCar Series season opener at St. Petersburg and Round Two at Phoenix, the drivers of the field have all found ways to pass the time.
