No way they fired him after his small mistake. He just sucks ;d

A build up of many mistakes.

there will be a new voice on the ESPN on ABC broadcasts next season. ESPN has confirmed that they have released Play-by-Play commentator Marty Reid effective immediately. Allen Bestwick takes over the rest of the Nationwide Series broadcasts for this season. The new Play-by-play commentator for ESPN on ABC's IndyCar broadcasts will be announced at a later date.

Posted in both NASCAR and Indycar threads because it affects both.

I ran across this on Jayski.com, and I hope that it means there will be an Indy Race at Phoenix International Raceway, but I know it's probably not.

According to someone I know who is "in the biz", they are confirming a 2014 Indycar Phoenix date.

They changed it, but it's still wrong...



lol

Kurt Busch will be in the #41 next year with SHR.

Quote from JackDaMaster :

Funny thing is this probably didn't even hurt the sponsors one bit, NAPA are just overreacting and making things worse for themselves.

Well, I don't think that NAPA would want their name plastered right next to a team of cheats, so they are getting the hell out of there.

Quote from Cornys :

How did you come about that photo, Jack?

According to a friend of mine, a "marketing company with a poorly secured website."

Some higher-res pics:

The 161 lap Sandown 500 will be starting in about 90 minutes.

Hey, at least the wheel-to-wheel contact didn't cause an even bigger accident than what it was...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Either way, I have a squashed car.

Mind sharing some pics of the squashed car?

Quote from sinbad :

To be fair it's a wonder what a bit of adrenaline will do for a knock.

I think Tristan is smart enough to know that obviously he could have avoided the collision, but when both drivers rely on the other to do something into a fast corner like that, and neither does it the results are disastrous. She clearly thought she was either past Tristan fully, or that Tristan would not have sufficient overlap to maintain track position through the corner and would yield it before they get there.

Tristan should never be forced to back out, though. If you don't like side-by-side racing, then there isn't much I can do...

This is new...

Apparently most cars a gridding up with inters.

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Nascar was very blind this past weekend in both series

They've been blind for a loooong time...

Many are saying that, going into this round, Kimi Raiknonnen is practically out of the title fight. Do you guys agree? (I'm undecided)

Mattias Ekstrom and Andy Priaulx will run in the Bathurst 1000 in an Xbox One/Forza 5 sponsored car. The car is backed by Triple Eight Racing.

That chicane is the sole reason I do not like that circuit.
