auto racing

Austin Dillon passed an out-of-fuel Jimmie Johnson in the final two laps and won a rain-delayed Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina on Sunday night.

Takuma Sato passed Helio Castroneves with five laps to go and hung on to win the 101st running of the Indy 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon.

You have to watch this video. A screenshot or photo alone won't do it justice.

NASCAR definitely IS a contact sport. And that has never been made more apparent than after this weekend's Texas 500 race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.

Normally in NASCAR, when the caution flag comes out, it's because of something that has gone wrong with one of or multiple cars on the track. Once things get taken care of on the track, the cars are then allowed to get up to full speed again. However, in this instance, the caution flag was out because of some idiot fan.

On Saturday night, NASCAR driver Tony Stewart ran over and killed 20-year-old Kevin Ward, Jr., during a sprint car race at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in Canandaigua, N.Y.

On Wednesday night, we were the grand marshals at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Mich., for the Money in the Bank 125. We also got the opportunity to ride along in the pace truck, and Producer Joe and Free Beer got to wave the green flags before a couple of the races!

So it's safe to say that auto racing has evolved a bit over the last 60 years or so.
