Indy infield and buses v. walls
Deadspin's AJ Daulerio gave a much needed, fresh voice to the coverage of our fair sport. The Editor for the most notable sporting blog on the interweb was strolling the Indy infield on race day and filed this report. Here's an excerpt of his dispatch:By around lap 46 I was ignoring the cars all together and instead focused on an 45ish-year-old man with a white muscle shirt...

Not to be the guy who laments his fantasy team aloud, but... My starters for this past weekend's Wind Tunnel Seven Whatever went 1-2-3 in ALMS, 1-2-7 in Grand Am, and won the Truck outing in Charlotte. How the hell did I finish in 70's? Jesus, what's a guy got to do? I won every damn race! Christ.

Mistake by The Lake double-dip?
Like the idea of an IndyCar doubleheader at Burke Lakefront in 2010?'Hell yes,' you say?Well... Think about the prospects of running the circuit in an oval configuration one day, then the traditional layout later that weekend.My god, I think I'd purchase a ticket to an event like that.

Random Sebring notes
-Alan McNish is an absolute monster. His spot in sporty car racing immortality was cemented well before Saturday's race, but his performance is still something to behold. In a word, devastating. -Prototype racing will be lame for the rest of the season. Don't try to deny it, the cream of the sports racer crop will not competing in America this season. Acura will win both...

The great spec debate
Part of the fun of following motor racing is getting carte blanche to bitch and moan about a wide array of topics. Which guy’s faster? Who’s cheating? Which team is run by a bunch of morons? Which series is mismanaged? Which journalist is making shit up? And so forth. One of the hotter debates in recent memory is the spec car v. non-spec car argument. This gets the masses fired...

Get local, get fired
I used to work in radio. It’s an odd business. The people who work in radio are odd. Radio stations are odd. People who listen to the radio are odd. The entire industry, from the highest-level exec, to the lowest of board-ops, has become resigned that they are working in a dying industry. It’s a slow bleed, but it’s definitely a kill, not a wound. (Respects to Daniel Day Lewis...
