Happy Easter 2018 This Sunday marks the most important date on the Christian calendar – Easter Sunday – the celebration of the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  The message of Easter is Love, love to the uttermost.  In the words of John Piper, “To love to the uttermost is to love freely, without reserve or limit, and without flaw or failure. Love to the uttermost is

As we approach another Christmas, it does not seem that all is calm or bright.  A terrorist shooting in Paris has left a hundred plus dead, and even closer to home, a married terrorist couple dropped their baby off with grandma and then killed 14 people in San Bernardino.  For the hundreds, or maybe thousands of those who mourn the loss of their friends and families in these

AVONDALE, AZ – With Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s victory at the rain drenched race in the desert of Arizona, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex will compete at Homestead next weekend for the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Car Title.  The race was delayed by seven hours due to the rain, then cut short to 219 laps with Earnhardt Jr. at the lead.  There were many sad faces when the

AUSTIN, TX – It turned out to be a great day for a race, but that was not apparent on Saturday or Sunday morning.  As the remnants of tropical Hurricane Patricia dropped torrential rain on the Circuit of the Americas, Saturday practice sessions were cancelled, and instead, fans were given an unprecedented time with Formula 1 drivers and crews.  Then, Sunday morning, the rains did

BATHURST, AUSTRALIA – The sleepy town of Bathurst in New South Wales Australia comes to life once a year for the run of the epic 1,000 mile race known as the Bathurst 1000.  Mount Panorama Circuit is one of the most fearsome tracks in the world sometimes referred to as the “Blue Hell.”  This year was a memorable year with previous records being smashed.  Team Red Bull’s Craig

BRASELTON, GA – It was a remarkable end to the 2015 Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta this weekend.  The rain soaked conditions made it very difficult for the blisteringly fast Prototype racers allowing the GTLM-class Porsche 911RSR of Tandy/Pilet/Lietz to the overall win.  This is the first time in the history of this race that a GT-car won the overall race.  The venerable 911,

SINGAPORE - It was a good race for Sebastien Vettel and Ferrari.  After winning the top grid position, Vettel led the race from pole to podium.  The Mercedes teams were not quite on their optimum pace with some signs of struggle with tires on the multi-corner track that did not benefit from the high-speed silver arrows.  In fact, the ever-reliable Benz of Nico Rosberg wasn’t

SONOMA, CALIFORNIA – The season did not end that well for The Captain.  Roger Penske was close to making history Sunday hoping to be the first team owner to win the NASCAR Daytona 500, the Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar championship.  With his three IndyCar drivers all eligible for the Championship, including Montoya with a 77 point lead, it seemed to be a sure-thing.  But

WATKINS GLEN, NY -   The craziness continues to Watkins Glen.   Kevin Harvick, leading the last lap of the race, runs out of gas two turns from victory allowing pole-sitter Joey Logano his first career road-course win.  The road race turned into another fuel mileage competition as the field ran the final 30 laps under the green-flag.  "I'm still just trying to

POCONO, PENNSYLVANIA – Crazy is as crazy does.  The Pocono 400 sure saw some strange happenings this past Sunday.  With seven caution periods in the first half of the race, it appeared that it was to be a long grueling race, but then the next 80 laps only had one caution.  When you add the fuel management to the mix the top three cars – Logano, Busch and Truex – all ran out

It was a disappointing day for Lewis Hamilton at Monaco.  After claiming the pole for the first time at the fabled track in Monte Carlo, Hamilton had his “usual” lead, an amazing 15 seconds over teammate Rosberg.  However, on lap 64, the safety car was called out following Max Verstappen’s contact with Romain Grosjean while trying to overtake the Lotus, and spinning out of

DAYTONA BEACH, FL - The 2015 NASCAR season is off to a very unpredictable start.   Even before the Sunday season opener, Kurt Busch’s 2015 aspirations were dashed when NASCAR imposed an indefinite suspension following allegations that Busch tried strangling his ex-girlfriend.  Brother Kyle Busch is also out indefinitely following a leg injury in Saturday’s pre-season race at
