    How about staging this on a Saturday afternoon (after qualifying) at a NASCAR race? They race on plenty of weekends when Indycar doesn't. They could do it like the Hamilton-Stewart swap from several...

    Any word on what was up with Hinch? He qualified poorly and started poorly, yet he finished only 1 lap down. I was surprised it went that "well."

    Re: New qualifying format

    We're stuck with the pig for now, so I'm hoping this qualifying approach -- and the quality of the drivers -- will help attract some more eyeballs. More eyeballs = more money = the end of spec...

    Kurt Busch attempting The Double

    I'm happy to see Kurt give it a try. I'm just old enough to remember when drivers commonly raced in multiple series with some regularity -- and not just the 24 Hours of Daytona! The news item on...

    New qualifying format

    What do you think of the new "qualify on Saturday, set your position on Sunday" format? My initial reaction is that it is a reasonable approach to creating entertainment with only 33 or so entrants.

    Re: "INDYCAR Racing Series 1996"

    A quick summary from Wikipedia follows. This is why those of us in our 40s and older called the cars that competed at Indy, etc. "champ cars." They were the top of the line AOWR cars and they raced...

    I'm looking forward to seeing him back in US OWR. But all things considered I'd rather have Allmendinger or Zanardi!

    "INDYCAR Racing Series 1996"

    I just read an email from Indycar Nation advertising the latest Indycar apparel. I am disappointed to report that the new shirts,hoodies, etc. say "INDYCAR Racing Series 1996." Huh? The name of the...

    Re: Indycars will start turning right at Indy?

    I saw Graham's POV pic driving the wrong way on the front straight. It is certainly odd to see, event though I watched one of the US GPs that was held there.

    Too bad. Maybe they'll inherit the NJ event from F1 -- like they took over Long Beach all those years ago!

    Should a series somehow "compensate" a drive who has been shafted by a track? In this case, a chunk of track sent Hinch into the tire barrier. Should he have been allowed to restart with a backup...
