It’s wide open. Race day is not yet here and still shocks have already occurred. James Hinchcliffe – the 2016 polesitter a year after his life-threatening accident – will not take the green flag as one of the 33 starters of the Indianapolis 500 after being the shock bumpee on the first day of qualifying. And there goes one name …

IndyCar is back, oh boy is it back. The new universal bodykit was designed to look good and make the racing better. It did just that. More than 300 overtakes were made on the track on raceday at St. Petersburg, and not one was made where the driver did not have a tool to defend. This is what racing should …

It has been a very long time since a driver who has tasted major national success in the United States has jumped ship to Formula 1. It is almost 10 years since Sebastien Bourdais lined up against Sebastian Vettel for the first time at Toro Rosso, in what became a brief F1 career for the four-time Champ Car champion. Since …

Despite having notable issues surrounding his tall six feet, four inch frame, he was able to be a fierce competitor …

At just seven eighths of a mile, Iowa is the shortest circuit on the calendar. A test of physical strength in addition to mental strength makes the 2015 Iowa Corn 300 one of the tougher races on the calendar to get a strong result at. Another trilling race last time out at Wisconsin produced another surprise winner, but not a new one this season. Sebastien Bourdais is beginning to cement his name into the IndyCar greats with a brilliant win where he was one lap ahead of the entire field at one point. However, Penske seemed to struggle, and this is starting to allow a few underdogs to get their nose into the ring as we head into the business end of the season.

The 2015 IndyCar season has not got off to a smooth start at all. After a debris-fest at St. Petersburg, a crash-fest occurred at a damp Louisiana for the second round of the season. With a surprise winner and a few penalties being handed out post-race, the championship table has some names in unusual places as the teams head to …
