I don’t hate this. Underglow can be obnoxious on the road, sure. But for this kind of event, I’ll welcome a harmless little splash of light and color. Kinda weird to make it mandatory, but I guess it’s not a terribly huge burden for the teams to comply with. Read more

Say, that’s a nice-looking ’89! Read more

Regarding Joe’s “car guy” status, I’d like to share something that caught my attention a few weeks back. Read more
