Kanaan wins at Richmond!

Tony Kanaan took the checkered flag at Richmond last night for his first win of the season. Finishing behind him were Team Penske driver Helio Castroneves and points leader, Scott Dixon.

It was a great show last night if you enjoy a good wreck! A solid outing by several rookies including Justin Wilson, Oriol Servia and EJ Viso. Finally, can some one explain to me why Townsend Bell doesn't have a full time ride? He's run extremely well in the races he's driven this year - unlike Milka who is consistently at the back of the pack, he's done very well. Click here to see how the rest of the field finished.

Dan Wheldon wins the Iowa Corn Indy 250

Congrats to Dan Wheldon and Team Target Chip Ganassi for the win at Iowa Speedway! This was a special win for the team and for Iowa flood victims. Both Ganassi drivers stated before the race they would give all race winnings to the Iowa Red Cross for flood relief.

“When you see the devastation there you can’t help but feel for all those victims,” said Wheldon. “We as athletes are lucky enough to be in a position to do things like this and I encourage others to do the same."

Scott Dixon wins the Bombardier Learjet 550 at TMS














Congrats to Scott Dixon for his win at the Bombardier Learjet 550 at Texas Motor Speedway.

Briscoe wins Milwaukee

Congrats to Ryan Briscoe and Team Penske for winning the ABC/AJ Foyt Milwaukee 225. The race ended on yellow with a late crash involving Marco Andretti, Ed Carpenter and Vitor Meira (what an amazing crash). It was an exciting race overall with lots of passing and action throughout the field. The transition drivers, many of whom had raced at Milwaukee previously, were impressive and hung in the entire race.
