Could be interesting...USF1

Looking forward to seeing what the skinny is come Tuesday at 12:00 PM ET--Tune in to SPEED Tv to find out...

Sad News from Utah

Larry Miller passed away on Friday.

The photo is from his appearance at the Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup banquet, as he congratulates champion Andrew Caddell. The Mustang Challenge is just one of the countless legacies of Miller.

Here is the press release from Miller Motorsports Park...

AJ Goes LA

LA Times Features Richard Petty Motorsports' strong season start...

It's out West to the Sunshine state this weekend for the AutoClub 500 at California Speedway, but the #44 is going to have to once again make the show on speed, so pray for no rain....

Big Day at Daytona For AJ

AJ Allmendinger had a big day in his first-ever Daytona 500 start on Sunday. After taking the green from 20th, he moved up into the top 10 by lap 50, and into the top 5 before the race reached the 100 lap mark.

With just over 50 laps to go, the rains came and the race was called official, with AJ scoring 3rd at the finish, good for a healthy $786,063 winnings. Hopefully the strong performance up front will see Richard Petty Motorsports secure the funding to have AJ run all year long.

AJ's site has several stories as well...

LRP Changes Gears for Vintage...

Lime Rock Park will stage a new look and feel Vintage festival this Labor Day weekend. The event is the (I think...) 26th annual such weekend, which attracts a lot of good looking cars, and people, to the Northwest Connecticut facility in a celebration of all things automotive...

MSR News: A Good Day At Daytona...

It was a good day at Daytona for Michael Shank drivers AJ Allmendinger and Colin Braun....Hopefully both of their race days will go well too!

AJ is In!

AJ Allmendinger will start the #44 Valvoline Dodge from 20th on the Daytona 500 grid this Sunday. Last time he was there, he was leading the Rolex 24 at Daytona in a Michael Shank Racing Ford Riley.

The race marks AJ's first Daytona 500 start as he embarks on his third season of NASCAR Sprint Cup competition.

Free tickets, I got your ticket right here!!

The upcoming lid-lifter for the Mustang Challenge and round two of the KONI Sports Car Challenge will see a unique spectating opportunity, as the two series and the track have allowed anyone who would like to come visit for free. Given that the event drew modest crowds in the past, this could be a great way to get people in the door and aware of both these production-car based series.

HMS, which has had more iterations and configurations than Penske has sponsors who pay him to NOT be on the car (Marboro, Verizon, etc...) in the past few years, has no trouble selling out the big Ford finale NASCAR weekend, but is actively working to be successful with the moved IndyCar date (from March to October, along with the Rolex Series), which has been strong, but nothing like the Ford Champions weekend.

Will this work? We will see...but it could create a lot of opportunity that would not have existed in a more traditional promoter partnership.
