Honda sponsoring a Chevy engine car? That would be something new :8:

Ended up being Untied Fiber but I heard Tim Hortons.

Tim Hortons? I don't think Michael Andretti needs anymore donuts or Timbits.

Interestingly enough Michael wasn't trying to get the National Guard for Hinch, while it is true he was courting them...but for Marco. He talked to Dr. Pepper / Snapple about moving over to Hinch if he was able to land them.

IndyCars on Mount Panorama? Yeah, that's not going to happen

Neither is Suzuka realistically, it's just fun to banter.

There are a ton of circuits in South America for a hypothetical "winter season" that the local F3 and stocks / touring cars run, but I don't know how many of them realistically are suitable for Indycar racing (both venue wise and finance wise). Other than perhaps Interlagos and street circuits, of course. (There's also Buenos Aires which ran F1 in the past if it's still suitable, and Velociudad which is under construction.)

(Of the "it may not be suitable or realistic at all but why the hell not" tracks that I Googled, I vote for Potrero de los Funes.)

Same with Central America, much of which should be okay weather wise (there should be no issues doing a fall/winter Hermanos Rodríguez race for instance.)

Can't see why Potrero de los Funes wouldn't be suitable. It'd be a lot safer than Baltimore or Houston.

Was reading on news that IndyCar still plans a comeback to São Paulo. They're aiming 2015 and the race interests IndyCar staff aswell as brazilian investors and fans, so why not? We can't sweep the race forever because Band Network ran out of money.

About the 2013 Season, with the exception of Indy 500 of course, that was one of the worst IndyCar seasons I've ever watched regarding quality and skill. There were some interesting races but the level was too down low. Hopefully 2014 proves to be a better season...not telling that because Helio lost, I knew he was going to lose even before California because he basically lost it at Houston in my opinion, but that's it.

Ashley Judd has had a change of heart. Sources reveal to Us Weekly that the 45-year-old actress is ready to give her relationship with estranged husband Dario Franchitti another shot.

The race car driver, 40, got into a scary accident at the Grand Prix of Houston on Oct. 6 that left him with a broken right ankle, and two fractured vertebrae. He also suffered a concussion from the serious crash. (Fourteen other individuals -- including 13 fans and an IndyCar Series official -- were also injured from debris that flew into the air.)

"They are going to give it another try after he recovers," an insider tells Us in its Oct. 28 issue. "His accident made her realize how much she loves him."

When hearing of his injuries, Judd rushed to be by the driver's side at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center.

"Thank you for the prayers for Dario, I have only clothes on my back & the dogs but that's all that we need & we are on our way," the Divergent actress wrote on Oct. 6. She later added: "Amazed by the incredible outpouring of care & prayers. Thanks, everyone. Keeping our heads down here & doing what's in front of us to do."

The 500 Indy champion also thanked his fans. "Thank you to everyone for all the well wishes. They mean a lot to me," he wrote via Twitter. "I would also like to send my best to all the fans involved in the accident and hope that everyone is alright."

Judd and Franchitti announced their separation in January after 11 years of marriage. Neither has yet to file for divorce

Oh well, good luck to to them. If they do get get back together, I guess it's a rare case of a crash that big having a good outcome
