Open wheel racing is a sport that demands precision. An IndyCar circuit is unforgiving; even a slight deviation of your machine's wing or the fuel mixture can cost the hundredths of a second that can knock a driver from the top of the podium.

Arlington's Entertainment District is currently in one of its rare slow periods. Sure, we all remember the tragic return of the XFL, but February and March are the only parts of the year when there's not a pro sports league in season.

As my transition into becoming an old man continues, I was disappointed to learn Helio Castroneves says he's a celebrity because of his appearance on Dancing with the Stars and not because of his Indy 500 titles.

An associate in public relations recently sent me a note, asking if I'd like to test drive a McLaren. The Scaia family has a rich history with racing, by which I mean we'd buy tickets to the Indianapolis 500 every year, attend approximately one year out of three and then scalp the tickets the other years.
