Corvette Racing made history at Lime Rock
as Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner secured
the brand’s 100th race win. All the sweeter,
it came in front of IMSA’s biggest TV
audience of the year on FOX.

Will Power has been among the
most vocal critics of the “lottery
effect” of caution flags in IndyCar
races but he was the beneficiary
at Toronto, clearing the path to
his third win in four races.

WHERE & HOW
TICKET INFO
Pre-race hype over Jeff
Gordon’s return and
Tony Stewart’s last Indy
hurrah helped NBCSN
secure its biggest-ever
TV audience for the
Brickyard 400. But race
attendance was a far cry
from Gordon’s Golden
Boy days of the 1990s
– and a marked contrast
with the sellout for
May’s 100th Indy 500.
NASCAR’s new
Golden Boy, Kyle Busch,
swept Indy’s Xfinity and
Sprint Cup races. But
recapturing Hoosier
hearts may take more
than a phenom this time.

JEFF GORDON on his run to seventh place
at Indy filling in for Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I got my butt kicked on restarts – it was
embarrassing. On one hand I’m relieved
this is over and on the other I would have
liked it to have gone a little bit better
