Derrick Walker has resigned from IndyCar. Will finish out the 2015 season in his position however.

Are we sure he wasn't pushed?

Or was he genuinely a walker?

Reading the article on speed by Miller on Walker. He mentiones that he's the main reason Road America will be back in 2016.

Hope that's true.

Ganassi and Vasser haven't ruled out any possible chances of working with Zanardi at the 500 next year.

Why? I thought Andretti was doing great on promotion. Or is he not earning enough money on it? Damn capitalist....

After seeing Ganassi deploy a caution on demand this afternoon, Penske are raising the stakes.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Looks like St. Pete will be on March 11-13 next year
http://www.tampabay.com/news/localgover ... 16/2239837

Rumor going around that there might be a 25th car at Sonoma too

If St Pete is being held earlier, that does free up a weekend for Phoenix :)

I think if they run Phoenix, it's in February or April, no way they will run it in March with the spring NASCAR weekend.

Heard that Milkhail Aleshin will be testing with Schmidt next week in the rookie test with Jack Harvey. Aleshin might run a 3rd car in the Sonoma race as well.

IndyCar will have a test at Road America at the end of next month.

Another update on the schedule

I'd love to see it put in it's traditional slot before they all head off to Indy.

I'd also love to see them put Milwaukee back to its traditional slot the week after Indy.

Well, Robin Miller sounds more than confident that Indycar will be at Road America with Pirelli World Challenge in June.
