Notching his first win of the season and 12th of his career, the victory was met not without obstacles as tough competition and rain played a huge factor during the event. From teammates to rookies and underdogs there were no shortage of challengers for the 9 team. Being a part of several new race tracks on the 2021 schedule, it was only fitting for someone with such a successful resume on road courses to excel and win at this high speed track. There were quite of few surprises in this race as Tyler Reddick in his sophomore captured not only his first career pole but also the first pole at a road course for Richard Childress Racing since Dale Earnhardt in 1996. Austin Cindric, who is no stran

                 Helio Castroneves made history by joining A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr, and Rick Mears by winning the Indianapolis 500 four times. Castroneves lead the race seven times throughout the 500-mile race. His last time he took the lead was by passing young Alex Palou going into turn one on lap 199. Meyer-Shank Racing also took their first IndyCar Series win.     The only other driver in contention all day was Connor Daly, who led a race high 40 laps, but damage from a loose tire that fell off Graham Rahal's car impacted him on the front wing, the team did not change the front wing and Daly went on to finish in 13th place. Rahal was in contention late in the race by setting himself up on fuel strategy. On his out lap from a pit stop, his left rear tire fell off, and he careened into the outside wall. Top 5: 1st: Helio Castroneves  2nd: Alex Palou 3rd: Simon Pagenaud 4th: Pato O'Ward 5th: Ed Carpenter Notable Finishers: 10th: Tony Kanaan 12th: Joesf Newgarden 16th: Colton He

High speeds, incredible action, all while staring danger in the face by going 230 miles an hour into turn one are some of the things that make the Indianapolis 500 one of the must watch races of the motorsports calander and the marque event of the NTT IndyCar Series season. Check out everything you need to know for the 105th Running of the Indianapolis 500.     Event History : Since 1911, fans have flocked to the hallowed grounds of Indianapolis Motor Speedway for " the greatest spectacle in racing", The Indianapolis 500.

Will Power, Simon Pagenaud, Ryan Hunt

Chase Elliott may not have been complaining about the weather in victory lane last weekend, but the NASCAR Cup Series will hope for some clearer skies this Sunday as they tackle Charlotte Motor Speedway.    Compared to last year’s field, we already have 3 new drivers locked into playoff spots this year (Larson, Bell, McDowell), and they may not be the only 3 to make it after missing the playoffs last year.  Chase Elliott’s win last weekend didn’t do much to upset the status quo, as he was expected to make the playoffs.  However, bubble drivers Matt DiBenedetto and Kurt Busch (both playoff drivers in 2020) are currently on the outside looking in.  The struggling Stewart-Haas drivers, Cole Custer and Aric Almirola, will likely need a win to get back in, as their point totals are nearing ‘too far’ territory. Chris Buescher and Tyler Reddick both missed the playoffs last year, but are currently in on points.  Each of them will be trying to make the playoffs for the first time in th

With the Indianapolis 500 this weekend it got the NASCAR fan in me thinking. Which NASCAR drivers would I like to see in the Indy 500. The quick answer is all of them, but I made a list of my top 5 picks and an honorable mention. Honorable Mention- Joey Logano... Joey Logano makes this list for three reasons. The first being his thrilling driving style, and aggressive nature. Logano for better or for worse is a true star of the show type of driver and NASCAR fans would watch that. The second reason is the fans perception of Logano. There’s only a few people who are truly in the middle with their opinions of Logano his polarizing nature would be a massive draw. The third reason is the likeliness he could run it although not much if any has been reported on Logano’s interest driving for Roger Penske who owns one of the most historic teams in Indycar, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Indycar Series Joey could easily find a competitive ride. 5th- Alex Bowman- This one might be a bi
