The Dog Days of teh Racing Season

F1
Do I even need to post the results from Sunday’s race at the Hungaroring? Of course not. In reality, many are calling it the most boring race of the season and in fact if passes were worth a dollar, we would have no dollars.
The only noteworthy thing was the results of a team owner meeting Sunday morning. Allegedly the owners were unable to agree on anything. This puts Mosely’s changes in jeopardy unless he uses his power to force them. If he does that he will have opened a can of worms that could theoretically spell the end of F1 as we know it as teams may well bail on the series.
I have said on here before that I was not for the changes, If I want to watch cost conscious racing with specs then I can watch IRL, NASCAR or OWRS.
IRL
What a day at the Kentucky Speedway! The racing was fast and furious. There was only one wall tagging incident and the weather was perfect. Adrian Fernandez got his first IRL win by holding off pole sitter Buddy Rice. Series leader was Tony Kanaan was fifth as Honda once again showed its dominance. In fact they wrapped up their first IRL manufacturer championship.
Tomas Scheckter was especially strong in his Panther Chevy, but a broken clutch caused him problems in the pits and his day was ruined.
Kentucky is an awesome track and Sunday there was an excellent crowd on hand. The track reported 61,000. That is nearly double of a couple years ago. Maybe this thing will catch on. I know I will continue to go.
The IRL goes into its stretch run now beginning with KY and this weekend at Pikes Peak. TK has a 50 point lead over Buddy Rice. That is a lot to make up, but Rice and the Rahal Letterman team has been strong all year.
NASCAR
Junior finished 5th at the Glen on Sunday which is good. Points leader Jimmie Johnson had another DNF and asshole won the race.
One thing of note from the stockers is that Jeff Gordon was not fined for his failure to go to victory lane at the Speedway the previous week. Gordon claimed he was just being spontaneous in stopping at the yard of bricks after the win. BS. I don’t really care what these guys do to celebrate the win, but don’t lie about it. With the feud that has been brewing between Pepsi and Coke and NASCAR’s ridiculous alignment with one the teams are going to try to devise ways around advertising the competitor’s product. The genius Mike Helton each week seems to be telling the driver what they can’t do. If he would just tell them what they HAVE to do after the race there won’t be any of this crap.
