Justin Wilson putting up big numbers in Indy Car Toronto practice

The IZOD Indy Car Series heads north of the border this weekend for the Honda Indy Toronto, a tight and super-fast street course that separates the men from the boys. And this weekend, Justin Wilson has been “the man”, posting either the first or second fastest time in all three practices conducted on Friday and Saturday. And in the latest session today, Wilson was almost three-tenths faster than EJ Viso and looks to be the favorite to grab the pole during the Firestone Fast Six session. “It’s a track I really enjoy”, Wilson said. The Z-Line Designs car was quick today(Friday) and I think there is still room to try a few more changes tomorrow. The challenge here is to manage the bumpy surface; if you can do that, you can be very successful. I’m looking forward to qualifying tomorrow.” Meanwhile, Viso was second this morning and is the hotshoe for KV Racing, showing up his teammate-for-a-weekend, Paul Tracy. The “Thrill from West Hill”...

Briscoe keeps his cool while others boil over in the Texas heat

Now *that* was an Indy Car oval race. The Indy Car Series exchanged the flat track of Indy for the 24-degree lunacy of Texas, and put on one heck of a show. Ryan Briscoe won from the pole, giving a boost to the Penske team that had a less-than-spectacular race at Indy. And for a guy who was hired by Roger to drive Porsche prototypes in ALMS, Briscoe has unexpectedly become a force on the 1-1/2 mile tracks like Kansas, Texas, and Homestead. As the race unfolded, the main challenge to a race that...

Briscoe keeps Penske pole streak alive at Texas

Ryan Briscoe rebounded from his crash at Indy to take the pole for tonight’s Firestone 550K at Texas Motor Speedway. Briscoe’s run gave Team Penske six poles in a row since the streak started in St. Petersburg. Briscoe, in particular, has taken a liking to the mile-and-a-half high banked tracks, taking the pole at Kansas last month and now at Texas. Like most ovals, the Penske-Ganassi cabal is running roughshod over the rest of the field putting all five of their combined cars in the...

Memorial Day Weekend Racing Review

Dario Franchitti dominates to win second Indy 500 The 2010 Indy 500 won’t go down in the history books as a race for the ages, but it did have some interesting story lines and one terrible crash. The big story was the absolutely destruction of the field by Dario’s Target car which seemed to have a gear nobody else had which enabled him to lead 155 laps. Unfortunately for the fans, no only did Dario’s domination make for somewhat of an uneventful race at the front of the field,...
