Other Series Racing

Microsoft and Turn 10 Studios announced today that the speed and excitement of the IZOD IndyCar Series will be included in the simulation racing game “Forza Motorsport 5,” which will be available on the Xbox One console.

Visiting new tracks has become the norm for David Gravel this season with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series. He’s visited 15 venues for the first time, which equates to nearly half of the races the series has contested thus far in 2013.

The Milwaukee IndyFest will be the ninth IZOD IndyCar Series event at The Milwaukee Mile. Past winners Ryan Hunter-Reay (2004 Champ Car and 2012) , Dario Franchitti (2011 and 2004 INDYCAR), Scott Dixon (2009), Tony Kanaan (2006-07) and Sebastien Bourdais (2006 Champ Car) are entered in the event.

Last year, not a single driver in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards could match Brennan Poole in speedway racing, and that's a major reason the 22-year-old Texan will make his ARCA return Friday at Michigan International Speedway.

The OSCAAR Modifieds are less than a week away from their second race on the 2013 calendar. The series shifts this Saturday, June 15 to Barrie Speedway where defending champion Gary McLean (No. 8 McLean Industrial Design Chevrolet) will look to win his second consecutive race at the Oro Station, Ont. oval.

When it comes to historic half-mile dirt tracks in the Upper Midwest, two venues quickly come to mind — Knoxville Raceway in Iowa and Jackson Speedway in Minnesota. Kraig Kinser knows both tracks very well and has had success at each during his career with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series.

Following a press conference on Monday at Circuit ICAR to promote the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series event at Grand Prix de Trois Rivieres, the Dodge Dealers of Quebec introduced their driver.

Mixing his team's recent results at Michigan International Speedway with his own increased confidence from three straight top-10 finishes, Justin Boston can easily be considered a contender for Friday's Michigan ARCA 200.

With other racing commitments taking up a large portion of her time and also Mother Nature interrupting her schedule, it’s been quite a while since Taylor Ferns has raced a midget on dirt. The season-opening Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in January to be exact. She’ll make up for that this week as she’ll race five times in five nights at five different tracks as part of Indiana Midget Week for the Honda USAC National Midget Series.

For short track open wheel drivers that hail from Indiana, two weeks each year really stand out on their calendars. One is the longstanding Indiana Sprint Week and the other — Indiana Midget Week, which was born in 2005. Tracy Hines has competed in both and won races in both, as well as claiming the Indiana Midget Week title in 2008 and a co-championship in 2010.
