The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, presented by Shop �n Save has just closed the books on 2007 with a record $170,000 donation to its charities and is now gearing up for 2008.

At [...]

Mike over at Trouble In Turn 2 write some good articles. Here is his take on the Penske Points Switch -

I see James Hylton is at it again.
You might remember that Hylton, who is now 73, attempted to compete in the 2007 Daytona 500. He didn’t make the field but he came darn close, losing out when mechanical problems spoiled his effort late in a 125-mile qualifying race.
He has announced [...]

NASCAR has approved Penske Racing’s request to transfer the owner points from Kurt Busch to Sam Hornish Jr., a move that locks the three-time IndyCar Series champion into the first five races of next season.

I was flipping through Consumer Reports’ latest issue on new cars recently, and something somewhat startling jumped out at me.
In nearly every vehicle category in which they compete, Toyota and Honda blew away Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge. This is nothing new, nothing you haven’t heard for years, but seeing it [...]
(Sorry, my Dept. of Reoccurring Redundancy are scamming me for overtime and they couldn’t think of a catchier title - ed)

[...]After watching baseball’s integrity crash, it should make everyone in NASCAR wonder if they are missing something.
If so many baseball players were using illegal steroids, what dirty little secret, if there is one, is the NASCAR community hiding? Is there a steroid problem? Steroids could help over-the-wall guys in their [...]
McLaren have today confirmed Finnish driver Heikki Kovalainen as Lewis Hamilton’s team mate for their 2008 campaign. Heikki, who was unceremoniously dropped by Renault earlier in the month in favour of partnering Fernando Alonso with Nelson Piquet Jr had [...]

The motorsports bloggers at Fox Sports recently revealed their selections for the superlatives of 2007 (or in some cases, not-so-superlatives) and I think they made good choices. In fact, I agreed with nearly all of them.
