It’s the beginning of the end. After a weekend off, the IndyCar Series is primed to resume – and in doing so will bang out three weeks of rather varied kinds of racing. When looking at the schedule and some of its silliness (double race weekends, double points for select races), it’s easy to question …

In a Nutshell: The race began with a bang as drivers eager for the green flag got a bit excited as they hit the gas. The wreck brought about a rare caution for IndyCar at Mid-Ohio. Scott Dixon cruised home for the win, his fifth at the track in the last eight races. Polesitter Sebastien …

In a Nutshell: On what was easily the craziest race weekend of the year for INDYCAR, Sebastien Bourdais and Mike Conway usurped the usual suspects by each winning one of the two doubleheader races in the Streets of Toronto. Bourdais did it via sheer dominance, while Conway did it via cunning strategy and a little bit …

Jimmie Johnson smiled in victory lane at Kansas. Carl Edwards cheered about his fifth-place finish. Austin Dillon seemed pleased overall with his 26th-place debut. In fact, for the most part, Sunday’s race was rather pleasant — as long as you discounted the mind-numbing parade that we called racing. But that was Sunday, and appropriately Kansas. …
