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.
