Now 18, Byron has a win in the series he watched as a child. But it took a strong truck and a stroke of good luck for Byron to win Friday night’s Toyota Tundra 250 and reach Victory Lane at Kansas Speedway for the first time in five series starts.

By David Morgan, NASCAR Writer As one of the newer tracks on the circuit, Kansas Speedway has had its share of races that have both been exciting and those that have been, well, not so exciting. The 1.5 mile track, which boasted 15 degree banking in its turns when added to the Sprint Cup Series schedule in 2001, underwent a facelift in 2012 to increase the banking to progressive banking ranging from 18 to 20 degrees. In this week’s edition of “Throwback Thursday Theater”, we’ll take a look back atRead More

By Adam Tate, Managing Editor Word on the street is that Daniil Kvyat’s days at Red Bull Racing may be numbered. His clumsy double punting of Sebastian Vettel in the opening of last weekend’s Russian Grand Prix may well be the undoing of the promising young Russian’s season. According to multiple reports Red Bull boss Helmut Marko, not one to show mercy, may swap Kvyat with Max Verstappen for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix. The move, which sounds unusually harsh even by Marko’s standards, may be more strategic than the kneeRead More

By Josh Farmer, IndyCar Reporter A return by IndyCar to Auto Club Speedway as a replacement event for the canceled Grand Prix of Boston seems unlikely. Dave Allen, president of Auto Club Speedway, told Tribute Racing that the lines of communication are open, but admitted that there would be some issues with scheduling a race. “Our door is always open to listen, but we have not been contacted by INDYCAR.

By Conor Daly, Verizon IndyCar Series Driver Well, the last two races certainly didn’t go the way we wanted them to. We have the race pace which is encouraging, and the team is making progress, but the results are just not there for us and to be honest it can get a little frustrating.

By Ryan Tveter, FIA Formula 3 European Championship Driver The recently repaved Hungaroring made for some exciting racing this past weekend in Budapest. The fastest time from the weekend was just over 2 seconds quicker than the pole time set by Esteban Ocon in 2014, the last time the FIA F3 series visited the circuit. From the beginning of the test day on Wednesday the track continued to get better and better as more and more Hankook rubber was laid down on the freshly surfaced tarmac. This culminated with theRead More

The Coyne team will enter Pippa Mann in a Honda-powered car for the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Oil.
