Richard Petty coming to IRL, What do you think about this?
The King as he is known as in Nascar, teaming up with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing to field a car in the Indy 500 with John Andretti as the driver. How do you think they will do?
T-bone, I’m ready to drive it, I think I could avoid bump day as well.
I don’t know. I guess they’ll do ok. As long as they get some sponsors, some good engineers and strategists on board, I don’t see why they wouldn’t do well. I doubt John Andretti will finish in the top 10, but they’ll do ok.

Network [VHS] $2.87 Media madness reigns supreme in screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky’s scathing satire about the uses and abuses of network television. But while Chayefsky’s and director Sidney Lumet’s take on television may seem quaint in the age of “reality TV” and Jerry Springer’s talk-show fisticuffs, it’s every bit as potent now as it was when the film was released in 1976. And because Chayefsky was one of the great… |

Peugeot Joins Alms Sebring Winter Test
Peugeot Sport is one of the ten manufacturers who have signed up for the fourth annual American Le Mans Series Winter Test scheduled from January 28 to 30 at the Sebring International Raceway. The manufacturer will be joining test regulars such as Audi Sport North America, Penske Racing and Dyson Racing from the Porsche camp, Intersport Racing, three Acura teams, and Mazda’s B-K Motorsports.
The striking list of manufacturers joining Peugeot in the three-day Test has representations from Dodge, Ferrari, Ford and Panoz. The event serves as a warm-up for the 56th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring showcased by Fresh from Florida on March 15, the opening race for the 2008 ALMS.
The entry of a Peugeot 908, a diesel-powered vehicle, have molded a belief that the French factory will enter the Sebring endurance classic and offer a nice rematch of 2007′s clash at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Peugeot began on pole position there but Audi dominated the race with the trio of Frank Biela/Emanuele Pirro/Marco Werner taking their second straight victory in the Audi R10 TDI, wrote Nancy Knapp Schilke of Motorsport. The team won by ten laps over the Peugeot of Sebastien Bourdais/Pedro Lamy/Stephane Sarrazin. The Audi trio also won last year at Sebring, the release continued.
At Sebring, the environment will be busy and the ambiance warm. Audi and Acura cold air intakes will be preoccupied too. Penske Racing will be testing its Porsche RS Spyders until today. Dyson Racing, also an RS Spyder team, and Flying Lizard Motorsports from GT2 will also be busy with the tests. Andretti Green Racing, Highcroft Racing and Lowe’s Fernandez Racing all will test their new Acura ARX-01b prototypes January 14 to 15 with Audi testing January 21 to 23, divulged The Auto Channel.
Last year’s Champs Pedro Lamy and Stephane Sarrazin have showcased their talents in the North American-based series. The dynamic duo had to contend with their own teammates in their sister car plus another French team and its drivers. It was a tough race in the season finale. But the duo etched a clever comeback to ink a record. They finished second on the Interlagos circuit in Brazil to their sister car.
“We were under pressure during the race because of problems like our clutch trouble at the start,” confessed Lamy. “I can hardly believe we’ve won the title after such an eventful race, but we are effectively champions!”
Notwithstanding the loss at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Peugeot Sport Director Michael Barge was pleased with their debut season in the LMS. “It’s a marvelous result for Peugeot and for everyone who has worked so hard at Peugeot Sport since the beginning of our endurance program,” he said after their final race in 2007.

Honda: Successful at the Iowa Speedway
Dario Franchitti Indianapolis 500 Champion has made it two wins in the last four races ahead of Andretti Green Racing teammate macro Andretti across the finish line last Sunday at the Iowa Speedway held in conjunction with the inaugural Iowa Corn Growers Indy 250 in front of a sellout crowd of 35,838.
Beginning at the inside of the second row, Franchitti successfully shunned all three multi-car crashes which caused the delayed and elimination of more than half of the 19 car starting field. Franchitti was able to lead throughout the final third of the 250-lap event leading 96 laps for his second Indycar Series victory of the season with a remarkable point lead in the championship standings after 8 of 17 races.
In addition it was also the second 1-2 result for the Andretti Green Racing in the last three races as Tony Kaanan and Franchitti finished first and second respectively at The Milwaukee Mile this month.
Dario’s win has given him a total of 16 Honda-powered victories in North American open-wheel competition surpassing Alex Zanardi who has only 15 wins as Honda’s most successful driver in Indy-style racing.
Last weekend’s race at Iowa Speedway has proven to be a success for the Honda Indy V8 engine and Honda lowering springs that shows 100 percent reliability throughout 7,241 laps of testing, practice, qualifying, and then finally at last Sunday’s race totaling to 6,493 miles covered with temperatures ranging from the mid-90s on Friday to as low as 70s during the race.
Andretti with less than seven-hundredths of a second behind the finish was able to have his best result in what has been a difficult 2007 season and his first ever oval-track finish of the year. The second-year IndyCar driver led by four laps but never really got the chance to lead.
Aside from Adretti, Scott Sharp was also able to rank third while Buddy Rice places fourth and Sarah Fisher finishing in seventh place—all had their bets results this year. Panther Racing’s Victor Meira led 71 laps and was trying to achieve his first IndyCar victory before suspension failure makes him to retire on Lap 216. The accident was able to take out from the race Danica Patrick, A.J. Foyt IV, Sam Hornish Jr., Kosuke Matsuura, Kanaan, Jeff Simmons, and Tomas Scheckter.
Dario Franchitti driving the #27 Andretti Green Racing Honda has started in 3rd and finished 1st. this is the second win for 2007 of Franchitti and his 6th career IndyCar victory and his seventh top-five finish in eight races for this season.
Because of his achievements, Franchitti becomes Honda’s all-time winning driver with 16 opne-wheel victories in CART and IndyCar competition. Franchitti said, “It was just a great job by the guys all weekend long. This may be a short track, but it drives a lot like a super speedway. We took a bit of a gamble on our last pit stop [taking fuel only and running the final 104 laps on the same set of tires] to gain some track position, so I certainly didn’t need to see that last yellow. All credit to Firestone and to Honda, who once again gave us a great engine. There were no team orders, and I know Marco [Andretti] wants a victory just as much as I do, so that made the final run pretty exciting for both of us. It was a very physical race, but a lot of fun at the same time.”
Marco Andretti driving the #26 Andretti Green Racing Honda has started at the 12th position and finished 2nd but was regarded as the best finish for the 2007 and the first oval track finish. When asked about the race Andretti said, “This place is different. The G [loads] are incredible. It’s very physical, and I’ve been fighting a sinus infection or something today, so I’m beat. In the final laps, I tried as hard as I could but I was running too high [on the track] and could never get a really good run on Dario [Franchitti]. Finishing second is definitely a confidence boost for me after the way the season started. It certainly helped us in the championship points and was a great day for Andretti Green Racing.”
Robert Clarke, President, Honda Performance Development on the recent race: “It was another successful weekend for Honda, with 100 per cent reliability throughout the weekend in weather conditions that varied from hot and humid to very cool. Congratulations to the Andretti Green organization and in particular to Dario Franchitti, who today passed the great Alex Zanardi to become our most successful driver in North American open-wheel racing with 16 victories. Dario has been a member of the Honda family since 1997, and I couldn’t be more pleased for him to have this honor.”
