YO DAWG I HEARD YOU LIKE WINGS ON YOUR WINGS


(Chevrolet turning the table on Honda after they copied their sidepods)

I want to attend an Indycar race, steal one of those either after a crash or by sneaking in and out of the pitlane, then use it as a paper rack on my office desk.

Sonoma always looks so strange when the grass is green instead of being dead.

I'm pretty sure you could flip it upside down and escape by flying

This does sound like Indycar alright

I'm already seeing the Chevys leaving IMS after catching some air

Holy shit! All that grass at Sonoma...

Also, I like the Chilton car, but then again, I like blue.

Hearing strong rumours that Cleveland will be back next year, with PPG as the sponsor

Iowa Corn has extended their race title sponsorship of the Iowa race for 3 more years.

interesting considering there was a rumor that they were trying to get Sherwin Williams as a sponsor last year before they signed with IMS

Kurt Busch is considering doing Indy again.

Both Chevy and Honda have to reduce the flappidyflaps at their front wings, if I understand this article correctly:

"The front wing volume box regulations have been altered so we cannot have the Honda-type of front wing and we [cannot] have the Chevy front stalks," Belli said.

"Both manufacturers agreed to change that volume box shape, so that's gone as an option, so that should reduce more little bits from flying off. And under Rule 9.3, Honda will be making all new sidepods and engine covers, and they are going to have far fewer pieces, so there will be fewer chances of pieces coming off."

Kasey Kahne looking at a possible 500 attempt in the future, he tried to get a ride for this year's running but hasn't been able to get a ride with any of the teams he has talked to yet.

Andretti and Herta have merged.

So that is basically one less car on the grid.

Michael's starting to get the band back together...

EDIT: Why is it one less car? Herta only was fielding one car and Andretti had 3. Now there will be 4 cars under the Andretti banner.

Well last year Andretti had Munoz, Marco and RHR plus the 25 car, although mostly part time.

So weird to see a green Sonoma, almost like a different track.
