Penske Enterprise which owns the track and Indycar series is giving her a new car
Interesting how far nascar has strayed from its roots. Chase Elliott has been parked for one race for spinning Denny Hamlin into the wall. Growing up watching nascar in the 1980's driver's rarely got penalized this severely for wrecking opponents. Usually the drivers worked it out amongst themselves or the France's would slap them with a huge fine. Corey Lajoie will be driving the #9 this weekend.

It's just like everything else. They've cheapened it and perverted it....wrestling comes immediately to mind. Once a REAL sport...now....don't even get me started!!
The area apparently had six months' rain in 36 hours, and the death toll has now risen to 13. F1 has announced that they will donate €1 million (approx. $1,080,000) to the relief effort. This comes a day after Ferrari, whose factory is in the region, also pledged €1 million. F1 president and former Ferrari F1 team principal Stefano Domenicali is from Imola, which was to have hosted this weekend's Grand Prix.
