IndyCar Indy 500 Q and A
A.J. Foyt is back at the Indianapolis 500 this weekend with Takuma Sato behind the wheel and perhaps his best chance to win the fabled race as an owner in more than a decade. Still, he can't help but reminisce about the good old days. The four-time champion was asked Thursday whether there will ever be a time when there's true innovation in the IndyCar Series—where there are multiple chassis builders, for example, like there was before Dallara became the sole provider in 2006.Monaco GP: Thursday Press Conference

F1
Formula 1 will be free of controversy, Ferraris will be painted yellow with purple spots and hell will freeze over – all these things are more likely to happen than the Monaco Grand Prix losing its place on the championship calendar. The event is an anachronism but that only adds to its charm and helps cement its place as one of the three most famous motor races in the world, alongside the Indianapolis 500 and the Le Mans 24 Hours.The Anatomy of the Andretti Curse at Indy
by Brian Carroccio
Pistons failed, spark plugs went bad, tires suddenly came loose, and valves suddenly lost pressure. There was a very noteworthy instance of USAC incompetence, a never before or since seen “Spin and Win,” the first last lap pass in Indianapolis 500 history, and the curious yet still unsolved case of “That Damn Coogin." And more often than not, you were bound to find a calculating Unser, Roger Penske and sometimes an unholy alliance of the two behind the dirty deed. Combined, it all adds up to Indy car racing's most famous and mysterious tale: the Andretti Curse.Scenes from DTM at Brands Hatch

by Stephen Cox
It was May 30, 1999 and John Hollansworth, Jr. had his hands full. Early in the 83rd running of the Indianapolis 500, his Oldsmobile-powered Dallara picked up a massive understeer condition. A car passed him on the inside. Caught up in the dirty air, Hollansworth's mishandling car brushed the wall hard in Turn 3. He rejoined the race after a quick pit stop. Sam Schmidt spun in front of him and Hollansworth barely missed the wreck. The field slowed under caution. Coming up through the gears on the backstretch as the race went green again, the shifter froze in fourth gear.Langdon, Gray, Coughlin Winners in Kansas Nationals
