One of the biggest racing weekends of the year is now complete. I don’t know about all of you reading this column, but I’m pretty exhausted. I’ve still got you covered, though after what turned out to be the busiest racing TV Sunday we’ve seen in 2016. Coca-Cola 600 Sunday night brought a bit of …
The Andrew Palmer–Jorge de la Torre crash Saturday morning took the sails out of what was going to be a great day of racing. However, officials determined that the race would go on. The drivers in Pirelli World Challenge’s GT, GTA and GT Cup Classes obliged with 50 minutes of hard-fought action. K-PAX Racing’s Alvaro …
All weekend at Lime Rock Park, Pirelli World Challenge’s GTS class has been a heads-up battle for supremacy between the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.R of Blackdog Speed Shop’s Lawson Aschenbach and the ANSA Motorsports KTM X-Bow GT4 of Brett Sandberg. The two spent all of race No. 1 Friday fighting each other. Race No. 2 was …
The second day of Pirelli World Challenge’s sixth race weekend of 2016 was effectively ground to a halt at Lime Rock Park Saturday morning due to a serious crash at the end of the frontstretch involving Bentley Team Absolute‘s Andrew Palmer and Jorge de la Torre‘s Aston Martin.

Pirelli World Challenge’s GT, GTA and GT Cup classes weren’t the only ones having at it on Saturday. Four other classes were on track first. In the GTS class event, Brett Sandberg started his ANSA Motorsports KTM X-Bow GT4 on pole with Lawson Aschenbach alongside in the No. 10 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.R. This was a …
At Lime Rock Park, the action has been fast and furious all day. Pirelli World Challenge’s GT-class saw parity with 12 drivers (including GTA-class pole sitter Martin Fuentes) all qualifying within a half-second of the pole position. It seemed like Round No. 10 for the GT and GTA-classes (Round No. 9 for GT Cup only) was going …
At Lime Rock Park, the times have been very close on the 1.474-mile circuit all day. The top 15 drivers in GT practice were within one second of each other and qualifying took that to the next level.

All-Star Weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway has always been interesting. You never know what you’re going to get. Unfortunately, Saturday brought confusion to everyone involved, even the sport’s FOX broadcast partner. Sprint Showdown/Sprint All-Star Race Holy cripes. Saturday marked new formats for the Sprint Showdown and Sprint All-Star Race. While I’m not a fan of …

Greetings, race fans. This past weekend at Dover was a bit more like the Dover of elementary school for me than the Dover we’ve been used to. I believe Sunday’s race was the third slowest 400-mile race at the one-mile oval. The other two either had more cautions (Fall 2007) or just plain got ridiculous …
Just after 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning Sprint Cup teams took to Dover International Speedway for 50 minutes of practice on the high-banked oval. The fastest laps of the session were determined in the first couple of minutes, when the track was its coolest and had the most shade. Kyle Busch turned in a lap at …
As much as the action this season has improved in the Sprint Cup Series, places like Kansas (and specifically, this race) are key to how the aerodynamic package performs.
