Marty?s Message: If You Disagree With Marty, You Don?t Count

At yesterday’s day of action on Prospect Park West, one contention from the opposition especially didn’t sit well with everyone who turned out to support the redesigned, traffic-calmed street. With hundreds of bike lane supporters gathered on the sidewalk a few feet away, Borough President Marty Markowitz’s chief of staff, Carlo Scissura, told the assembled [...]

Drivers want more say in future rules

Formula 1 drivers want an improved dialogue with the FIA in the future so they can have more of a say in future regulations and track design, AUTOSPORT has learned. Following talks at recent meetings of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA) to discuss ways the drivers can help out the governing body more, GPDA chairman Rubens Barrichello plus directors Felipe Massa and Sebastian Vettel met with FIA president Jean Todt in Korea on Saturday night. The drivers believe that with big regulation changes coming for 2013, plus the arrival of even more new tracks in future years, that the time has come for them to be more involved in the way the sport pans out

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Sees a Glimmer of Racing Sunlight

Filed under: , , , , ,

MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- The legions of fans of Junior Nation rose as one on lap 285 of the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway Sunday, waving the little green flags passed out by the race sponsor and screaming their lungs out against the din of the more than three dozen race cars circling the half-mile track here.

Their man, Dale Earnhardt Jr., had clawed his way to the front and taken the lead from Jeff Gordon during a green flag run at the midpoint of the NASCAR Sprint Cup race.

And he led 90 of the next 93 laps -- more than his total for the entire year before Sunday's race. Coming into Martinsville -- where Earnhardt has never won -- he had led a total of 71 laps in five races.

But after more than doubling his laps led total Sunday, Earnhardt was only partially satisfied. He faded during the long green flag run over the final 98 laps and finished seventh.

"Well, this isn't quite good enough," Earnhardt said. "We have to run way better than this. I can come in here and get a top-10 unless we have a major, major issue in the setup."
