We still have not found a suitable buyer for AutoRacing1.com.  It is now November, and if one does not come forward soon, AutoRacing1.com will cease to operate in December after the last races of the 2021 season conclude……as retirement beckons.

If you know of someone who may be interested, send them our way.

Retirement is not the end of the road. It is the beginning of the open highway, wherever that leads me.

Retirement is a blank sheet of paper. It is a chance to redesign my life into something new and different, and a time to enjoy all the things I never had time to do when I worked.

It means doing whatever I want to do, every day. You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream!

After 21 years of covering motorsports for AutoRacing1.com, and with the urging of my wife to finally retire, relax and enjoy life, I have decided to put AR1 (also known as AR1.com or AutoRacing1.com) up for sale.

The last 21 years have brought great memories, experiences and the opportunity to be deeply involved in a sport I loved since I was 10 years old – some 56 years ago.

I attended my first race, an IndyCar race, at Trenton Speedway, in September 1966. Mario Andretti led 199 0f 200 laps in his Dean Van Lines Special, lapping the entire field twice and coming home ahead of Al Unser Sr. and AJ Foyt.

The sound, the smell, the speed – I became an instant fan of the sport and knew someday I would get directly involved. Marriage, an engineering career and kids put that goal on the back burner for a while.

Then, when the internet started to blossom, and CompuServe was all the rage, I began to write about motorsports – around 1998. In June 2000, I started AutoRacing1.com (AutoRacing1, Inc.) and have been chasing the sport around the country as a journalist ever since. But it was not only me – I had many good people involved who helped make it all happen.

Now at 66 years old, it’s time to do other things with my life and family. My goal is to find the right buyer for AutoRacing1.com a buyer who can grow the business and keep AR1.com as a go-to place for motorsports news.
