Other Series Racing

The Salem Speedway, site of Sunday's third round of the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards, the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers ARCA 200 presented by Crosley Radio, means something special to nine-time series champion Frank Kimmel -- who's won at the legendary southeastern Indiana short track a record nine times.

Having two straight weekends rained out feels like an eternity for a racer. Just ask Tracy Hines, who has put in plenty of hours in the shop recently, but would much rather be at the track mixing it up. With three races scheduled in his home state of Indiana this weekend, he’ll get the chance to compete and also show his versatility.

Faced with the prospect of racing just once for the second weekend in a row, thanks to Mother Nature interrupting the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series schedule, David Gravel did what any true racer would do. He found a race to fill the opening in the schedule and thus will get to compete twice this weekend in two different cars.

Scott Steckly is pleased to announce today that Johnsonville Sausage will be an associate sponsor on his 22 Racing/Canadian Tire entry for 2013 in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.

Veteran Ontario late model driver Sean Cronan has announced he will drive a Terry Snyder-owned OSCAAR Super Late Model for the entirety of the 2013 season.

In his 52nd career start, Takuma Sato would run away from the field at the end of the race to score his first career victory. It marks the first victory by a Japanese driver ever in the IndyCar Series.

In his 52nd career start, Takumo Sato would pick up his first career victory at the Honda Grand Prix of Long Beach.

Last year, Charlie Kimball completed the IndyCar season with one podium finish - second at Toronto, and six top 10s in 15 races. After their season, Kimball and team went and did their homework, doing an intensive self-evaluation on the team.

INDYCAR has updated Section 14.14 (Tires) of the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series rulebook, effective with the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach this weekend. Under the updated rule:

It’s become second nature for David Gravel over the last six weeks to visit a track for the first time and have a handful of laps to get up to speed. He did exactly that on 11 occasions in four different states during the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series West Coast Swing. Now back in the Midwest, he’ll visit a pair of tracks that he made his debut at last year and will thus be visiting for the second time as the series begins a stretch of races in the Midwest.
