From one specialty to another, that is what the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is embracing as it moves from the left coast and returns to its home in Daytona this weekend. The race last Sunday at Sonoma is an enjoyable outlier on the Cup schedule, a race that encourages more road courses be brought …
The first female team boss in F1 split with her organization this week in what came as a surprising move. Monisha Kaltenborn began her involvement with F1 beginning around 2000 when the company for which she worked, the Fritz Kaiser Group, joined the sport backing the then BMW team. As principal players in the structure …
The past Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race was somewhat of anomaly for the series. The past few weeks had been a testament to messing with modern TV scheduling as the races ran well beyond a half hour after their scripted time. That the races have been running long is a concern that should merit …
This past weekend was chock-full o’ racing, with NASCAR hosting three events, IndyCar in action accompanying the Trucks in Texas and Formula 1 making its annual appearance in Canada.

When we last joined the Formula 1 daredevils, they were speeding through the streets of Monaco. The commonwealth, a veritable playground for the rich and famous, seems to match with the sport like no other environment does. At the same time, racing the Monaco GP also represents the elements of class that are representative of …
This past weekend at Dover International Speedway was a crash course in, well, crashing. Sheet metal suppliers must have been in love with the races, if that’s what you want to call them, because for much of each event they resembled demolition derbies rather than examples of racing par excellence. Blame it on whatever …
This past Sunday marked a wonderful day in motorsport with Formula 1, IndyCar, and NASCAR all putting on varied shows.

The race leading the day turned out to …
This weekend is the annual return to Monaco for Formula 1. In some ways, the race is a bit of a stay-at-home affair, as many of the drivers and team principals have residences in the area. In fact, when Nico Rosberg finished the race last year, he reportedly walked home after his disappointing finish. He …
This weekend marks the annual best day in motorsports. Sunday features three crown jewel events, beginning with the Monaco Grand Prix, followed by the Indianapolis 500 and capped by the Coca-Cola 600.

The wreck that overshadowed the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway highlighted a topic this column addressed the previous week regarding safety.

One of the stories garnering a good deal of attention is anything involving Fernando Alonso. His decision to skip the Monaco Grand Prix, the marquee event, to race the Indianapolis 500 brought all kinds of reactions from the fans, drivers, management and the press. Rightly so. Alonso is a double world champion and is still …
The NASCAR traveling circus is moving on from the carnival known as Talladega and parking itself in Kansas this weekend.
