News from the track.....

If you've noticed that I have not been posting lately, you weren't alone. I do apologize for the lack of coverage as of late, it's been very hectic and I am trying to properly balance all my duties, including keeping you informed with news surrounding the Rolex Grand-Am Series, IRL and Nascar.

Without further ado, here's some news.

With the second race of the Grand-Am schedule just days away, Southard Motorsports driver Bill Lester is having to deal with a lighter schedule than he has previously experienced.

Updated Nascar standings through Bristol.

Scott Wimmer wins in Nashville--off topic....if you're ever in Nashville, check out Vittles restaurant off the Brentwood exit. Best. Southern. Food. EVER.



What can Brown do for you? David Reutimann is now out of the Dream Machine and into the #44 UPS Michael Waltrip Racing Camry. Reutimann takes over for the retiring Dale Jarrett.

Next week the Rolex Series and IRL kick off at Homestead. I will have all the action for you and upload some photos as well. Happy Easter everyone!

The Midweek Roundup

What's happening race fans? Here's the news from this week.



Bill Lester, formerly of the Craftsman Truck Series, has returned to sports car racing. Lester recently wrote an article for Grand-Am.com. Really great to have a quality driver like Bill Lester back in sports car racing.

David Carviello of Nascar.com takes a look at how the open-wheel vets turned Cup rookies are faring.

IRL and Rolex Series driver Ryan Hunter-Reay threw out the first pitch at a recent Grapefruit League contest between the Minnesota Twins and the best baseball team ever, the Florida Marlins(a little biased? you betcha). Hunter-Reay had just finished testing at Homestead and Sebring in anticipation for the upcoming season. I wonder if Billy Crystal can play for the Yankees, the Ryan Hunter-Reay could don the teal pinstripes of the Marlins. Well I don't know, I'd have to see if his pitch went over the plate.

That's all I got for now, I'll post again before the weekend.

I'll just get down to business:

Midweek-ish Roundup

Pick the Podium: Las Vegas

Here's my top 3 finishers plus some honorable mentions.

1. Jimmie Johnson

2.Mark Martin

3. Kyle Busch

Also be on the look out for Carl Edwards and Mike Skinner (yeah I can't even believe I'm saying that). Skinner landed a top 5 qualifying spot for today's race and posted a top 5 speed in the practice session. Not to be "that guy", but I gotta wonder about Jacques Villenueve. Mike Skinner can start the car fifth and Jacques can't even get it into the race. Interesting....
