Into the Crystal Ball? The Sunny South Florida Edition
The real racing season is finally here. The 24 hours of Daytona, 12 hours of Sebring, Daytona 500, and Australian Grand Prix are cool and all, but open wheels visit to St. Petersburg is something a bit more special. The … Continue reading
A Car of Tomorrow Renaissance
I read a post the other day over at Autoextremist�(a fantastic automotive blog)�about the optimism surrounding the introduction of the Gen 6 car even in the face of continuing struggles for NASCAR, and it got me thinking about the recent evolution of our race cars. In the post, Mr. De Lorenzo talks about NASCAR’s unwillingness [...]

Dunlop Introduces Electronics Into Tires: RFID In Moto2 & Moto3
Electronics are to take a further step in the world of motorcycle racing this season. In addition to being abundant throughout engine and chassis, Moto2 and Moto3 official tire supplier Dunlop is to introduce them into the tires. In an official press release issued today, Dunlop announced that they will be using RFID chips in the spec tires used in Moto2 and Moto3, to keep precise track of the tires used in both classes.
For the moment, the technology will be used solely to track tire usage in Moto2 and Moto3. Tiny RFID chips will be built into the official Dunlop tires during the manufacturing process, each programmed with a unique identifying code. Sensors in pit lane (shown in the photo here on the Dunlop website) will monitor when each tire leaves pit lane, and when they return. Using the database which maps which tires have been allocated to which riders, Dunlop can keep precise track of which tires have been used when, and for how long.

It depends where you start from?
There is a famous joke that can be applied to pretty much any group of people, if one wishes to convey the impression that they are stupid: a tourist asks a local for directions to a nearby city. The local replies “Well, sir, if I were you, I would not be starting from here.” This [...]

Colin Edwards' Video Tour of the Austin Track
Veteran World Superbike TV commentator - and commentator of many other premium motorsports series - Jonathan Green has been enlisted by the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, to help promote the Austin round of MotoGP, scheduled for 21st April this year. To this end, Green engaged the help of Colin Edwards to talk him around the track, and explain the ins and outs of the Texas circuit.
Despite the wind noise which blights some of the commentary, it offers an interesting insight into the nature of the track, with Edwards helping to unlock some of the secrets of the circuit. The video follows below:
Man?s NASCAR headstone banned by church; widow sues
Fair warning, you may have to scrap those NASCAR-themed tombstone plans depending on your body's future place of rest's regulations.
Jason Carr died in a 2009 car crash and his wife Shannon spent nearly $10,000 on a custom headstone in the shape of a couch featuring the NASCAR logo, the logo of the Indianapolis Colts and a deer and a dog. However, the couple's church said it didn't meet the specifications of its cemetery and therefore wouldn't be allowed as his grave marker.
[Also: NASCAR Power Rankings: More of the same from Brad Keselowski]
Shannon Carr is now suing. From the AP:
The Rev. Jonathan Meyer, priest at St. Joseph Catholic Church, notified the monument maker that the headstone didn't meet the cemetery's standards and couldn't be placed in the church's century-old graveyard, The Republic
reported. But Carr says in her lawsuit that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis Properties Inc., which owns the cemetery, never produced any regulations for the plot until more than a year after she tried to have the headstone installed in 2010.
Meyer says that the church knew about the plans for the headstone six weeks before Carr purchased it and that she was informed of the decision not to allow it in the cemetery and was encouraged to not purchase it. However, he did say that the regulations weren't formally official until after Carr purchased the headstone. The archdiocese of Indianapolis says that issue is out of the court's jurisdiction as it doesn't fall within the bounds of the first amendment.
And Meyer also took a dig at Carr's decision to purchase the tombstone. "Our culture breaks all the rules to make people feel good," he said. "Faithful Christians know rules and regulations are set up so there can be good for everyone."

The most unique car in the Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. ? When Michael Waltrip takes the green flag in the 55th running of the Daytona 500, he'll be in a used car no longer wanted by Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, one that has used parts purchased at auction or castoffs from Roush Yates.
But that's not only what makes it so unique.
[Also: Daytona fans injured as car slams fence in Nationwide race]
The future No. 30 is sporting the number 26 this weekend in honor of the 26 victims of the December 14 tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. It will also adorn the number 80888, the number to which people can text donations to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.
Before a preseason meeting in January, car owner Brandon Davis and driver David Stremme were approached by NASCAR president Mike Helton. Davis, who purchased Inception Motorsports last year and renamed it Swan Racing, laughs when he tells the story now, but he recalls the possible reasons that Helton would want to talk to an owner who just entered the sport, not to mention a team that hadn't run the entire 36-race the year before.
"Walked in the door, Mike Helton slaps me on the shoulder and says, 'Hey I need to talk to you guys after this is over.' " Davis said. "And I?m like, 'Oh [shoot], what did I do wrong? That was my first thing, like, 'Ah, what the hell?'
"And we sat there and I was nervous the whole time, like 'Man, should I just leave this thing?' After it was over with, he came over and said 'Hey, I have this idea. Since Michael?s in the car, and I mentioned this to Michael, running the 26 for the 26 people that lost their lives in Newtown.' It was 100 percent Mike Helton. Mike Helton made that deal happen."
The partnership was announced on February 14th, with NASCAR CEO Brian France and wife Amy making a $50,000 donation to the fund with a matching gift from the NASCAR Foundation.
Stremme, who was a minority owner in Inception before Davis bought the team, will be the driver for the remainder of the season but is stepping aside this weekend for the higher profile of Waltrip.
"Stremme wants to race the Daytona 500 just like I did and it?s his car," Waltrip said. "But he thought that me driving it would strengthen his relationship with Toyota and really bring his team into the family more."
Stremme made his Cup Series debut for Chip Ganassi in 2005, but hadn't had a full-time ride since 2009. That's when he went searching for partners to start their own team. His idea: go to auctions and buy as many good parts as he could for as cheaply as possible, something he still does today for Swan as a self-professed "man of many hats."
"I still do," Stremme said. "We race off of other people?s leftovers, I guess you would say. ? And there?s a lot of things that teams waste and do things, and we?re able to go still race. Like this car here that we?re running, is Jamie McMurray?s Shootout car from last year. " McMurray wrecked in that race. "We fixed it, put a Toyota body on it and done everything. That?s the way that we have to build this organization is be smart about our money.
[Also: Danica Patrick bows out of Nationwide race; ready for Daytona 500]
"It?s just multiple areas we purchase from and we make it work. A lot of it is we might have some big team might say, ?Hey, we?re getting rid of all these brakes,? and there?s nothing wrong with them, they just want to change manufacturers and we buy them."
Stremme met Davis, CEO of Swan Energy, at Talladega last spring where he pitched him on buying the team. Davis gave Stremme his business card and told him to call him if he was serious, Stremme did just that, and Davis finalized the purchase in the fall.
In the offseason, the team hired crew chief Tony Eury Jr. and Steve Hmiel as its director of competition. Eury Jr. and Hmiel worked together at Dale Earnhardt Inc. while Eury Jr. was crew chiefing for Dale Earnhardt Jr. Last year, Eury Jr. served as Danica Patrick's crew chief in the Nationwide Series for 26 races before parting ways with JR Motorsports. That name recognition from working with both Junior and Patrick was a big draw for Davis.
"And Tony was at the top of the list, but for me, it pushed it over the top that people know who Tony is. That Tony has a fan base. No other crew chief had a fan base. And if we?re going to build this team, we have to develop that. For the team, for the driver, for Tony, and our overall product, just everything that we bring to the table, it needs to be known."
Speedweeks has helped with that awareness. Not only for Newtown, but for Swan.
"The goal is to make the race. We did that," Waltrip said. "The goal was to build the team. I think we?ve been able to do that. And the goal was to have something cool on the car for the 500 and I know we did that."
Waltrip can relate to what it can be like to be a new owner in NASCAR, having started Michael Waltrip Racing seven years ago and gone from missing the Daytona 500 and being penalized in his team's debut 2007 season to two of his drivers making the Chase for the Sprint Cup last year.
"Our team has made a 180," he said. "And everybody thinks it happened overnight but it?s actually taken about seven years. And so I lived it, I experienced it, I?m very knowledgeable about everything we went through in order to get where we are and I?m really thankful that David included me in the family to help them try to maybe get to where we are now without some of the hurdles we had to overcome."
[Also: Jimmie Johnson's daughter has a favorite driver -- and it's not JJ]
Many new teams have come and gone in the six years since Waltrip became a team owner, and both Stremme and Davis are cognizant of the financial pitfalls of racing at NASCAR's top level. That's why Stremme's still going to those auctions.
"Steve and Tony and myself, we?re all very hands on," Stremme said. "Everyone on the crew, we do what we?ve got to do and those guys work hard. Instead of having seven guys and three dogs before, we?ve got 20 guys and three dogs. We?re still the same people and it?s just an old-school mentality of racers and I feel like we?ll be able to survive off of that mentality."

2013 Jerez Moto2 Test Day 3 Times: Espargaro Back In Charge
After a day lost to dismal conditions, testing resumed in full force at Jerez under blue skies. The dry condiitions and warm temperatures saw Pol Espargaro return to the top of the timesheets, the Spaniard posting his fastest time in the afternoon Moto2 session, and persuading the Spaniard to skip the final combined session of the day altogether. Second fastest man was Takaaki Nakagami, the Italtrans rider continuing his showing of strong form, ending fractionally ahead of his teammate Julian Simon.
Marc VDS Racing rider Scott Redding took 4th slot, three quarters of a second off the time of Espargaro, and fractionally ahead of Mapfre Aspar man Nico Terol. Terol was the fastest of the non-Kalex mounted riders, just holding off Tito Rabat for the 5th fastest time, while Terol's teammate Jordi Torres grabbed 7th. Xavier Simeon continues his strong performance at Jerez, in both wet and dry, setting the 8th best time on the Desguaces La Torre Kalex.
Testing concludes tomorrow, with two one-hour sessions for the Moto2 and Moto3 classes, before they make way for the MotoGP class, due to start on Saturday.

50 Cent goes in for an Erin Andrews kiss, gets denied at the Daytona 500
Erin Andrews was working her way through the crowded pit road at the Daytona 500 when she came upon a surprise visitor: none other than 50 Cent himself, one of the many celebrities in attendance. 50 decided to show his appreciation for Andrews' work, and, well, Andrews didn't much dig it.
50 tried to accompany Andrews as she walked pit road, but she was having none of it. Well, that was awkward.
Earlier, 50 had surely raised the blood pressure of NASCAR officials when he arrived at Daytona and tweeted, "Damn I don't see no black people lol."
Daytona, everybody!

Pass of the Year (so far): Denny Hamlin?s banzai move at Phoenix
Denny Hamlin recovered nicely from starting at the back of the field, didn't he?
Hamlin was a distant fifth when the caution came out for Ken Schrader's crash with three laps to go in Sunday's Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix, but after the ensuing restart and thanks to this incredible pass, he finished third.
On the final lap, Hamlin got a great run off of turn 1 and dove three wide to the inside of Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski, completely cutting off the dogleg on the PIR backstretch.
He was able to carry enough momentum through the shortcut and cleared both drivers entering turn three, and incredibly, was able to stab the brakes quickly enough in the corner to prevent the car from sliding up the track. However, Johnson was able to capitalize as he and Hamlin came off turn four and swiped second place as the two banged doors at the finish line. Yeah, it only netted Hamlin one spot instead of two, but damn, that was a nice move.
Perhaps most importantly, Hamlin's engine made it to the finish. Both he and teammate Kyle Busch started at the back on Sunday thanks to pre-race engine changes (Hamlin lost an engine during practice on Saturday), but Hamlin was able to drive through the field and capitalize on the race's never-ending differing cycles of pit strategy. Busch hit the wall twice and finished 23rd.

Happy Hour: A certain Texas spring race sponsor is up first
New season, new Happy Hour! You know the drill. Throughout the week you can send us your best questions, jokes, rants and just plain miscellaneous thoughts to happyhourmailbag@yahoo.com or @NickBromberg. We'll post them here, have a good time and everyone's happy. Right? Oh who are we kidding, this is NASCAR. No one is ever happy.
Last week was predictable for its Danica discussion. This week, it's all about the NRA 500. I've never gotten as many emails about a single post as I did about that one, and many of them were accusing me of things that were never brought up in the post. Such is our life these days when we talk about an organization affiliated with guns, I guess. So naturally, we're going to talk about the race some more!
Sometimes I feel like NASCAR wants to leave behind its Redneck Hillbilly roots and try to take the sport mainstream. They want a lot of flash and culture as opposed to a bunch of drunk fat guys up in the stands with their shirts off. Having said that, those same drunk fat guys are the ones who buy the tickets. So why not play up to them? I see nothing wrong with having the NRA as a sponsor. You should poll the fans...how many of you attend races or watch on TV and own guns. I think NASCAR wants to hide its fan base and try to act Hollywood. They need to remember those who purchase the tickets and sleep near the track all weekend in a camper or RV. Nobody seems to do that for football, basketball or baseball. NASCAR, please stop trying to be so PC. You can't offend a Redneck as easy as you can some sissy in LA.
-Wes
You asked a question in a column, is the NRA good for NASCAR? The answer is simply, no, it's bad for business.
By aligning itself with the NRA, NASCAR will become a flashpoint in the culture wars. The new fans it wants to attract, the new dew drivers in it's diversity program, will go away. The conversation will turn to guns and gun control, and away from racing.
In effect NASCAR will limit its potential fan base to less than half the country. That's not good for any business. Chik-Fil-a had to do a turnaround for just the same reason. A business that gets involved in social and political issues will suffer.
As this heats up, there will be sponsors for drivers that will not want to be affiliated with the NRA and drop sponsorship for drivers. That is quite likley in the climate today, same as sponsors are leaving the Boy Scouts in droves. Businesses do not want to be affiliated with controversy.
Bad move by NASCAR.
That goes for any business, and practically any issue.
-Dean
I see Wes's point, but I counter that by saying that the core demographic mentioned above already knows about the NRA. While there certainly may be sponsor activation going on, there isn't much more sponsor awareness being achieved.
And Dean talks about the issues that I touched on in my post. By default, having the NRA as a race sponsor in NASCAR embroils NASCAR in the polarizing gun debate. And given that there's no real reason for NASCAR to be in it in the first place, I'm not sure it's the best decision. But I'm also not a track promoter or NASCAR official. Otherwise I may have gotten fined for my column.

With the recent comments from Dale Jr about Jeremy Clements. I get the feeling that NASCAR uses him as a mouthpiece to solidify their position. Each time NASCARs position comes to question with the fans. It seems like Dale Jr quickly comments to justify NASCARs position or is this just him being a leader of the sport?
-Ricky Bobby
Am I the only person totally baffled by Jeremy Clements' suspension? I would have totally understood a nice fat fine, but suspended indefinitely? On top of that, from what I gather, he wasn't being interviewed, he was helping an MTV reporter find someone's hauler. Not sure I have all the details right, but having said that, didn't Nascar just make this a huge story by suspending him? He isn't known as a nasty guy, and everybody screws up and/or says stupid stuff. Unless it was something really horrific, and from what I gather, it really wasn't, did this really warrant a full-on suspension? I realize nascar wants to move away from a redneck image, but let's be honest - the Phoenix brawl last November did did nothing to dispel any stereotypes whatsoever!
-S. Bilger
The issue with Clements was interesting by itself, and now with the news that Denny Hamlin was fined for pretty innocuous comments about the racing last Sunday at Phoenix, if you believe things come in threes, we've got another headscratcher coming down the pike.
I totally understand that NASCAR felt that Clements needed to be disciplined. However, two races seems excessive. And you can see why Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson and others said what they did when asked for their reactions to the Clements suspension. It's NASCAR's ballpark and it's their rules. And sometimes it feels that we, as fans and media, are still learning those rules when it comes to what drivers can and can't say without fear of retribution.

I have a quick observation, a question, and a rant. I am amazed at the toughness of the cup cars! Danica got blasted in the driver's side by David Ragan so hard, his car nearly got airborne. The 10 car lost it's outer skin and the blue foam, but all pictures I have seen show the inner panel with virtually no damage. Danica sounded like she was ready to get a manicure in the post wreck interview! Kudos to the guys who engineered and build these cars! The question: Why is everybody saying that the wreck debris from the 32 Nationwide car went over the fence at Daytona? Every video and photo I have seen shows the parts went THROUGH the catch fence! My rant: How in the name of good sense did Martin Truex Jr. finish in 29th place and win more money than Jeff Burton won by finishing in 10th place?!?! I understand the sponsor money, but a driver finishing 19 places behind and winning $8000.00 more than the guy who finishes 10th? That's just plain dumb!
-Bill
While we skewer NASCAR for decisions like the one they made with Hamlin on Thursday, it bears repeating over and over that they've done a wonderful job over the last 12 years when it comes to driver safety. (And I updated Happy Hour last week to reflect that the tire did indeed go through the hole ripped in the fence. On my first 20+ viewings, I swore the tire went over. But it did go through.)
Now, on to the prize money issue. Sponsor money is one part of it, and another is contingency programs. There are so many contingency programs, like the Mahle Clevite Engine Builder of the Race for example, that the money adds up. And because of sponsor conflicts, etc, not everyone participates in all contingency programs. (For example, Kasey Kahne, who is sponsored by Quaker State, doesn't participate in the Mobil 1 Driver of the Race program.) I'll even admit that it's a complicated puzzle at times, and a horrible indicator of driver's performance.
Alright y'all, thanks for reading! And remember where to send those emails, because you too could be published in an upcoming mailbag!

Denny Hamlin says he will appeal $25,000 fine
Denny Hamlin took to Twitter Thursday night and said he will appeal the $25,000 fine that NASCAR levied against him for comments he made after Phoenix.
At Las Vegas for testing, an angry Hamlin said that he wasn't going to pay the fine, and elaborated further on Twitter.
The short of the long of it is I believe I was severely disrespected by NASCAR by getting fined. I believe that the simple fact of us not even having a conversation about this issue before I was hit with a fine has something to say about our relationship. What I said was 1 sentence taken completely out of context. Most drivers will tell you that we constantly have our AND nascars best interest in mind when speaking. On the other hand I am a person that worked very hard from the BOTTOM to get where I am today and someone telling me that I can give my 100 percent honest opinion really bothers me. Since being fined in 2010 I have been a lot more careful about what I say to media and I felt this past weekend felt completely in my rights to give a assessment of the question asked. I feel as if today NASCAR lost one of its biggest supporters vocally of where our sport is headed. So in the end there are no winners. I said today I would not pay the fine. I stand by that and will go through the process of appealing. Trust me, this is not about the money.. It's much deeper. I will now shift my focus on giving FedEx and my team what they deserve this weekend, a win.
NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton said that the appeal process for Hamlin's fine would be the same as the one that teams go through for technical violations. However, let's be honest; this isn't nearly as objective as a technical violation would be, and that subjectivity could impact Hamlin's chances of winning his appeal for a fine he should have never received in the first place.
Clint Bowyer hits crew member and Travis Kvapil?s car while trying to exit pits
The dangers inherent to pit road were on display again early in Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix.
Clint Bowyer, last year's championship runner up, was in his stall for a two-tire pit stop early in the race and, as is customary for many two-tire stops, hit the gas to leave the pits when the jack was released on the right side of his car. One problem, his front tire-changer and carriers were running in front of the car towards pit wall -- there was an apparent miscommunication about a two and four-tire pit stop.
As he left, Bowyer hit one of his crew members. And then, to add insult to the incident, he hit the rear of Travis Kvapil's car as Kvapil pulled into the stall in front of him.
Bowyer's crew member was unhurt, and as soon as Bowyer hit reverse after making contact with Kvapil, his crew went to work fixing the damage on his car. Bowyer finished 6th.

BMW 328d
BMW is going to expand its U.S. 3-Series lineup with the addition of a new, diesel-powered version. This model, called the 328d, will make its world debut at the 2013 New York International Auto Show on March 27th and will be put on sale in the first quarter of the year.
The 328d will be powered by a TwinPower turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 180 horsepower and a peak torque of 280 pound-feet. The model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 7.2 seconds and deliver fuel economy of about 40 mpg (official EPA numbers will be released closer to the car’s launch). While the 40 mpg is pretty much standard for a smaller diesel engine, but the 7.2-second 0-to-60 time is pretty quick for a non-high-performance diesel model.
Alongside the new 328d, BMW will display the new 3-Series Gran Turismo and the Concept Active Tourer in New York.
Full details on the new BMW 328d will be unveiled during its official debut.
BMW 328d originally appeared on topspeed.com on Sunday, 17 March 2013 12:00 EST.
