Dale Coyne Racing has announced it has reached an agreement with Sebastien Bourdais to run the road course segments of the 2011 IZOD Indy Car Series.

Since our last meeting, Sprint Cup drivers have spent several days testing on the new Daytona International Speedway asphalt and interacting with media from around the world at the Sprint Media Tour presented by Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The past few years, auto racing talent has been blossoming out of Canada with a variety of drivers. Steve Arpin and J.R. Fitzpatrick are two to name a few, though another one is D.J. Kennington.

From contract talks with three of their four drivers – Edwards, Biffle and Ragan – to building a daycare on site. OK, so only the first part is true, but with three drivers adding to their families, it might be needed.

The 2011 showing didn't disappoint as it included controversy, lots of wrecks and a brand new winner.

Edwards and Biffle are not only Roush Fenway Racing teammates, but also have some important upcoming events to talk about, from new baby talk to contract talks to talking about the dangers of texting and driving.

This weekend’s K&N Pro Series All-Star Showdown at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale is no different, and once again the buzz around the garages surrounds a few of the major players in the East and West series.

Following the Daytona test, four teams proceeded to go to Talladega Superspeedway to lay down some extra laps as they continue to prepare for the ARCA season opener.

During the Media Tour, Hendrick Motorsports was questioned of what would happen with the pit crews come 2011 after the struggles seen during the 2010 Chase.

Over the past few days we witnessed NASCAR's willingness to address some needed changes with the vast majority of them being positive steps in the right direction.
