What's in a Number?Last weekend at Michigan, Tony Stewart announced that Ryan Newman would drive the #4 Chevrolet for the new Stewart-Haas race team next year. A day later, stories surfaced online that Morgan McClure Racing was "not happy" about Stewart taking "their number." Today, an update! Newman will drive a #39 next season rather than the #4.

Dixon Eyes IRL Championship with KY Win
Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon won the Meijer Indy 300 Saturday (August 9th) and moved into a nearly insurmountable lead in the race for the 2008 Indy Racing League championship with only two races remaining.
Dixon tied teammate Dan Wheldon's 2005 championship-winning season record of six wins with the victory at Kentucky Speedway, and put Helio Castroneves (who finished second in the race using a conservative fuel strategy) in a nearly insurmountable 86-point hole going to Infineon Raceway for the next-to-last round of racing.

Silverstone friday: Massa crashes, Ecclestone announces British GP moving to DonningtonFormula 1 returned to Silverstone this weekend for the British Grand Prix for the second to last GP to be held at the historic circuit. Bernie Ecclestone announced this weekend that the British GP will be moving to Donnington Park starting in 2010. The loss of Silverstone is a great one for the history of the sport.

The move to Donnington Park is the culmunation of years of drama between Bernie...
