Sutil Close To Force India Seat
Force India are believed to be close to naming Adrian Sutil alongside Paul di Resta for 2013. The German driver is a former member of the team and has been strongly linked with a return in recent weeks. An official team source revealed that Team Principle Vijay Mallya sees Sutil as the best option: “The [...]
2012 season in the rear view: Travis Kvapil
Vitals: 27th in the points standings. 0 wins, 0 top 5s, 1 top 10. 3 DNFs
Moment to remember: There's quite the restrictor plate theme to the best moments for drivers in this section of the standings, eh? Travis Kvapil's best finish of the year also came as a product of that morass in turns 3 and 4 on the final lap at Talladega where he finished eighth.
Moment to forget: At Indianapolis, Kvapil blew a tire and crashed after completing 40 laps. He finished 37th.
The wrap: Well, what can you say? Kvapil has become a consistent, if not household, name in NASCAR by being steady but not spectacular. And with a lower-budget team, he was a perfect driver to have to keep the fab shop expenses below budget.
The 2003 Camping World Truck Series team hasn't had a true chance with a top Sprint Cup team, and it's likely that he never will at this point in his career, but that doesn't mean he isn't a serviceable Cup driver. He missed the Daytona 500 because of Danica Patrick's presence -- David Reutimann was in the No. 93 -- but was consistently running at the finish and the plans to be replaced in the car by Reutimann eight more times were scuttled after Darlington.

Mateschitz: Toro Rosso Must Progress

2012 season in the rear view: David Ragan
The vitals: 28th in points. 0 wins, 1 top 5, 2 top 10s. 5 DNFs.
Moment to remember: Yeah, many people think that restrictor plate racing is a crapshoot, but given the team's performances, it seems pretty safe to say that plate racing has become Front Row Motorsports' strength. Much like his teammate first-name brother, David Ragan's best two efforts of the season came at Talladega, where he finished seventh in the spring and fourth in the fall. That fourth place finish came when somehow, some way, Ragan escaped from that final lap melee, battered race car and all, despite being the fourth car on the high line and in the thick of the accident.
And he also ran that awesome Where's Waldo car at Bristol.
Moment to forget: Much like the restrictor plate racing karma giveths, it also takes away. Maybe it was the deposit for the withdrawal that Ragan was to make at the final restrictor plate race of the season, but he was caught up in the crash on lap two of the Daytona 500 that ended the chances of Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Danica Patrick and others. Ragan finished 43rd.
The wrap: A year after scoring his first career win and eight top tens for Roush Fenway Racing, Ragan found himself out of a ride when sponsor UPS scaled back its NASCAR commitment and Jack Roush then went to three teams. Without many options, Ragan stayed in the Ford camp at Front Row, and ended up with an average finish in 2012 that was eight places lower than 2011 and completed the fewest laps of his Cup career.
