I remember being there for the last race of the CanAm season in 1982. It was miserable that time of year too. I had a terrible cold, it was foggy and cool, and I was working on a car I'd never laid eyes on before, a Ralt RT2 driven by Bill Alsup. Pretty good result for Bill to finish 7th from 18th on the grid, but by far the most miserable racing weekend I ever experienced. |

And now his management group appears to have fired him. Course Racer headline makes it sound like he fired them

And on Racer that is OFTEN the case, and usually amended after first posting

During all the excitement of last weekend's IndyCar/NASCAR double header at IMS, Kyle Larson's cars, for next year's Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600, were unveiled.

I guess Hendrick has decided to just not risk any but he said blowback. I can tell you trying to buy from his sponsor is a joke, and a royal pain. Service good, sales, well they think you NEED them and they're doing you a favor. Well they didn't sell me a new truck so....

Alex Palou is eight points away from clinching IndyCar Series championship?
https://racer.com/2023/08/15/just-ei...indycar-title/
What Pruett is saying is that if Palou leads both Dixon and Newgarden by 109 points after Gateway he will win the title but that's not what the headline implies. With three races left, a maximum of 162 points could be scored. Dixon has 438 points currently, so could possibly end up with a total of 600. Palou currently has 539 points, so he would need 62 points in the three races to clinch the title if Dixon scores the maximum. If I was betting I would place my money on Palou clinching at Portland but not before. |

Could it be? Linus gets a seat at Ganassi?
https://racer.com/2023/08/16/indycar...w-swede-it-is/ Would be great for the youngster for sure, and I hope it happens. He has the skills to compete there and being part of that team has to be great to gain experience. |

Through the Monaco Increase Management firm, Palou orchestrated a revised contract with CGR that facilitated his ability to race for McLaren in 2024, but with Palou’s newfound intent to stay with CGR, Palou’s managers announced they will no longer support Palou as he steps into another contractual battle involving powerful racing teams. Their statement from their website https://monacoincrease.com/news/: Quote:

Yeah, THEY literally said in multiple interviews THEY were no longer representing Palou in any capacity and did not agree with his position. Again, you play the insider but can't even see what they actually involved parties say. And no, that's not saying one thing to cover, they literally outright said they did not agree with his decision and thought they needed to get out, that's not covering that's throwing your client under the bus

I've seen what they've written. The one side who has made a public statement that is.
It certainly reads like THEY decided to stop representing him just after he chose to replace THEM with his previous management. After all it would be extremely NAIVE to think THEY'D walk away from a solid percentage of what I've heard is supposedly the biggest retainer ever seen in Indycar for him for 2024. |

Herta will be wearing a special livery at the season finale to honor his dads first victory in CART.
https://racer.com/2023/08/18/herta-f...ndycar-finale/ I think the livery looks good on the younger Hertas car, but i am amazed how good the original car looks! |
