NASCAR 'Chase' Is On For Juan MontoyaGuest Column By Cathy Elliott
What follows is a textbook example of a racing success story.
It is the story of a kid who, instead of signing up for T-ball or soccer or any of the other team sports so popular with the single-digit age demographic, decided that what he wanted to do was be a racer. And with the help and support of his dad, that’s exactly what he did.

Executive Management Changes Announced At Hulman & Company, Indianapolis Motor Speedway
The Board of Directors of Hulman & Company and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced June 30 that a new management team comprised of veteran IMS executives W. Curtis Brighton and Jeffrey G. Belskus will head the Hulman-George companies effective July 1.
Brighton, currently executive vice president and chief legal counsel, will become president and CEO of Hulman & Company. Belskus, currently executive vice president and chief financial officer for the companies, will become president and CEO of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation.
They will replace Tony George, who will no longer serve as president and chief executive officer of the Hulman-George companies but will remain a board member of the Hulman-George companies.
“Our board had asked Tony to structure our executive staff to create efficiencies in our business structure and to concentrate his leadership efforts in the Indy Racing League,” said Mari Hulman George, IMS chairman of the board. “He has decided that with the recent unification of open-wheel racing and the experienced management team IMS has cultivated over the years, now would be the time for him to concentrate on his team ownership of Vision Racing with his family and other personal business interests he and his family share.

Logano’s First Career NASCAR Sprint Cup Victory comes at NHIRBy Brad Gerhart
The weather forced NASCAR to arrange its starting line-up by points and come Sunday, once again the rain came down during the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire.
The race prematurely came to an end on lap 273 which enabled Joey Logano to become the youngest driver in NASCAR Sprint Cup history ever to win a race, at the tender age of 19 years, one month and four days in only his 20th career Cup start.
Needless to say a little luck helped Logano prevail to victory lane. The No. 20 Home Depot driver of Joe Gibbs Racing spun his Toyota car on lap 182 which in return put him a lap down. However, even though he was no longer on the lead lap, the crew filled up his tank which barely made it to the end of the race. He did get his lap back during a caution period on lap 192, whereas the last six laps of the race were run under caution which had everyone on the Home Depot squad on their toes in the pits.

Impressions, Red-Herrings, And The FIA War Against Formula One's Greatest Teams Rolls OnBy Mike Sulka
Well, here we go again...
The FIA non-'dictator' is offended and continues to whine about it in the press, and thus the peace deal that had been agreed to with the FOTA continues to remain in jeopardy until he gets his way.
So what's at the core of his issue....
The FIA non-'dictator' told the Daily Mail, 'They made the mistake of dancing on my grave before I was buried. It's no good the teams getting a PR agency to claim I am dead and buried when I am standing here as large as life. I am under pressure now from all over the world to stand for re-election.'
Well isn't that just the great news we've all been waiting to hear ?
