We have seen so much kindness in the last 2 weeks, but this is beyond words. @AORacing reached out after my tweet, and now Anthony will be riding with Rexy for the #Rolex24 ! He'd be over the moon right now, and I know he's looking down beaming with pride. So grateful. #IMSA

Now that the '18 #IndyCar has been fully revealed, time to make the push: Car numbers just ahead of the rear tires, @IndyCar . Do it.

@nascarcasm In the NASCAR Cup Series, there are two separate but equally important groups. The crews, who prepare cars, and the drivers, who operate the machines. These are their stories.

Now that things have settled down a bit, I want to thank @AORacingUSA for their incredible kindness at the #Rolex24 . I am so happy Anthony helped take Rexy to a podium. He would have been so excited and proud (and would have had a million questions for the team!).

#IndyCar fans... Here are 4 Lolas spanning a decade. Same basic design concepts. Same nose shape. Same suspensions! Evolutions, yes, but not total overhauls. Meanwhile the DW12 aero has been fully redesigned 3 times and even the tub has been significantly modified.

It's just flabbergasting to me that #NASCAR is considering fining tracks for not reaching 70% attendance but is at the same time so openly contemptuous of their paying live audience as they've been today. Rain happens, but this whole deal has been poorly managed front to back.

Back in July, I picked up an @AORacingUSA Rexy sticker and shirt for Anthony, since he loved dinosaurs. I like to think that, just a few days after we said our final goodbyes to him, his spirit helped guide Rexy to the pole today. He would have loved it. #IMSA

#FormulaE rode the Dieselgate wave as far as they could. I don’t think enthusiasts care enough about it, I don’t think the general public cares enough about it, and I think the promotion of the series writes checks the racing can’t cash.

The presentation of this race is so much better than a usual Fox broadcast. Pared down and focused on the racing. Minimal talking heads. I could probably get back into Cup if all the TV stuff was like this. #NASCAR

@champwebdotnet That’s disingenuous. Those aren’t cinderblocks, that’s a permanent installation (with artwork) that’s part of a park dedicated to the race. You can stand where the winners stood. I actually noted it during the broadcast, I think it’s cool.

The Speed Channel firesuits on the Fox Sports guys is a nice touch. This really is the last Speed legacy race, in a way. NASCAR is all that's left, and that's what really drove the end of the channel, so I'm not counting that. #IMSA
