This Formula 1 Italian Gran Prix in the rain is hilarious.  Let us destroy the most expensive cars in the world.

All the crashes actually added to the passing factor for a change, especially with Hamilton sitting on the pole, crashing out and then racing his way back up to a podium finish. I can dig it.

And Joey Lagano is airborne.  TALLADEGA!

Oh man, what a finish.  Everybody wrecks getting to the finish line.

Jiminy Crickets, let's take out half the field before we even start this Indycar race.

Alex Bowman leads HMS to a 1-2-3-4 finish at Dover. First time that's happened since Roush Racing pulled the trick at Homestead in 2005.

Rick Hendrick is quite the big boy.  I realized today that I don't actually go for any racer, I just go against Denny Hamlin because my wife goes for him.  (Since he's from Chesterfield County.)

This race is awesome.  Denny Hamlin sucks it.

TY GIBBS!  "I'm TEN!"

Well, the Indy 5 just got interesting.  Someone in Graham Rahal's pit crew probably just earned his pink slip.

Congratulations to Helio mother fucking Castroneves on being a four time Brickyard Champ!  I marked and nearly spilled my Killian's Red!

Just finished watching that.  That was awesome.

That race was fun. Good to see the "local track hero" take down the retired superstars, and Marco Andretti.

Oh man, Nashville is the greatest racetrack ever.  A tire is rolling on the track before they can finish one lap. This race will never end.

Jeff Gordon is leaving Fox Sports to become vice chairman at Hendrick Sports

He will be 2nd in command behind Rick Hendrick and apparently the plan is that he will be the successor to Hendrick whenever the about to be 72 year old majority owner retires

EDIT - Gordon will remain on the FOX broadcasts until the end of the year

[Pete]

AMAZING.
