Keselowski wins his 4th race of the season, and thus is alone at the top of the Chase Grid!

And Brad Keslowski takes the checkered flag taking the number 1 spot in the Chase and giving Roger Penske his 400th win in major motorsports.

Has Penske ever won both the NASCAR and IndyCar championship in the same year with his respective teams? He's a decent shot at doing it this year with one already in the bag.

Damn, Jimmie passed out getting out of his car following the race.

They're saying it was either heat exhaustion, CO poisoning, or both that got to him. Either way, hope he recovers soon.

Anyone else going to check out this Formula E tomorrow? Looks a bit gimmicky to me personally, and it's mainly Formula 1 Rejects taking part. The whole voting on Social Network to see who get's extra boost and having to swap Cars halfway through the Race sounds pretty Dumb But you never know the Racing itself might be really good so will check it out, worse it can do is suck. Than it's back to British Touring Cars

So the investigation into the Tony Stewart/Kevin Ward Jr. incident is complete, and the results will be revealed next week.
Think ol' Tony will get charged?

Than it's back to British Touring Cars I'll watch it. It'll give me something to watch in between F1 and the start of next year's Indycar season. I'll also be watching some DTM and Australian V8 supercars as well.

I don't think it will be anything that carries a long jail sentance if any time really but I cannot see them putting all this in and not trying for some charge no matter how "minor".

From Goodwood today: Amazing the difference 75 years worth of safety innovation makes, huh?

And then there was this from the first Formula E race...
That could have been real nasty if the roll hoop had missed the wall and he'd gone head-first into it.

Stupid move from Prost
That could have been a hell of a lot nastier.

I get the sense he'll be spearheading a Penske V8 Supercars program. That rumor's been flying all year and it's not out of the realm of possibility that Penske would've waved a big chunk of cash to entice him over.

Stupid move from Prost That could have been a hell of a lot nastier. It looked to me like he was expected to get passed on the outside (which at that speed and those tight corners probably was the right thing to expect) and then started cutting the corner for his own turn. If anything I think the stupid move was on the other guy. Cutting to the inside works on a supertrack like the Indy Speedway since the turns are so wide but doing so on that turn meant that he sped to pass the guy and then would have had to break hard in front of him in order to attempt to make the sharp turn (made sharper since he did not take it wide). I don't know how he thought that he could not only make the turn but also not get hit in the process.
