Resurgent 500 Remains Pinnacle of Auto Racing
  by Stephen Cox
If there was ever any doubt that the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race is still the Mt. Everest of motorsports, it is gone after today's record-breaking event. Yes, I have a few gripes about the DW-12 chassis and the lame, new re-start procedures. We'll get to those in a moment. But the race itself was a sight to behold. Here are my random thoughts on this year's Greatest Spectacle in Racing: I really thought that Marco Andretti was going to run off with this race........

2012 Indy 500 called one of greatest races ever
  by Mark J. Cipolloni
On my way out of the track after today's Indy 500 to catch my flight back home to enjoy the remainder of the Memorial Day holiday with family, I heard fans saying that this was the greatest Indy 500 of all time, and there have been many great ones through the years. Not one fan, I am talking about hundreds of fans all gushing the same - they could not believe what a fantastic race they just saw.
Dario Franchitti wins Indy 500 over Scott Dixon
  by Tim Wohlford
With the fans on their feet in the most exciting Indy 500 ever run, Dario Franchitti won the 96th running of American classic over Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan.  The finish was a 6-lap sprint to the end after Marco Andretti, who was passing cars and heading toward the front, lost control and hit the Turn 1 wall with 13 laps to go. Takuma Sato from Japan passed Scott Dixon with one lap to go and then tried to pass Dario Franchitti in Turn 1 on the final lap but Franchitti squeezed him low and Sato spun and hit the wall.

2012 Hoosier Hundred Review

On Friday night at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, several thousand die-hard race fans got a glimpse of what real auto racing is supposed to look like. The 59th running of the Hoosier Hundred was held on the appropriately named “Track of Champions,” the historic one-mile dirt oval where Barney Oldfield drove a mile in less than a minute for the first time in history on June 19, 1903.

Schumacher wins Monaco GP pole, Webber to start 1st
  by Mark J. Cipolloni
Considered too old by F1 standards, Michael Schumacher, the winningest driver in F1 history showed the youngsters how it is done on the streets of Monaco Saturday by turning the fastest lap all weekend at 1m14.301s in qualifying for Sunday's Monaco GP.  However, Mark Webber, who was second fastest in his Red Bull, will start on pole because Schumacher has to serve a 5-place grid penalty after he collided with moving chicane Bruno Senna in Spain.

Ganassi teammates 1-2 on Indy 500 Carb Day
  by Mark J. Cipolloni
They have not run carburetors at the Indy 500 in years but they still call the final warm-up before the Indy 500 'Carb Day' referring back to the era when mechanics would make final carburetor adjustments before the big Indy 500 mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  Before the biggest 'Carb Day crowd that we have seen in many years, the Honda powered Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammates Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon were the only drivers to break 222 mph.
