“So, what did you do on your off weekend, Nico?”

Thank you, Debbie Downer

First thing they do? Put a tarp over the windows. Gotta protect the brand...

The fact that that’s also The Hound makes me giddy.

New Orleans has better food, better music, better art, better people and is a place people from all over the world want to visit. The only people who want to visit Calgary are roughnecks and cowboys.

At this rate, Regan Smith will run the entire Cup season as a sub!

NASCAR can grant him a waiver for missing a race; they've already done so for Kurt Bush.

Because nobody knew why he fainted, that's why. Would you want a pilot go get into the cockpit of an airliner if you knew he'd been unconscious the night before and nobody knew why? Or at the controls of an 18-wheeler on the highway?

Zanardi doesn't "cut the chicane completely." First, it's not a chicane. Second, he doesn't cut the turn but is instead on the far inside, two wheels into the dirt. Follow the video from the entry into turn 8 and through 8A and you'll see Zanardi follows the curve of the turn. If he'd tried to straightline it, he'd…

That's Group 44's Grand Prix stock car. They entered a few races after their Jaguar contract ran out, did not do so well, and that was that. Even a Grand Prix looks good in Group 44 livery.

Bourdain didn't abandon No Reservations. His contract came up and he wasn't happy with how Travel Chanel had made it look like he was doing endorsements for products when he wasn't. Zero Point Zero (the production company) shopped a new show around and CNN was looking to add more programing. Bourdain has said that one…

Yes, you can tell who didn't watch the video from the comments. Suckers.

Between them, you have wins in IMSA, WRC, Formula Atlantic, international sports car racing, the Nurburgring 24 Hours, Dakar Rally, Monte Carlo Rally, sprint cars . . . Also, directing driver improvement programs, running the Race of Champions, authors and columnists, running and driving the Ring Taxi, owning a…

I don't know if it takes more talent; Danny Ongais seemed to do pretty well going from Top Fuel to an Indycar and IMSA. Art Pollard used to drive both Indy and Top Fuel on a regular basis. It's a different skill set, for sure, but given time and training any top drag racer could do well enough not to embarrass…

Haas won't shut the team down-he's already budgeted for the season, and the team still promotes his Haas Automation company. Now, it wouldn't surprise me if he shut down at the end of this season in favor of focusing on his new F1 team.

But it ought to be the driver's choice to wear one helmet design, not some rule.

When Chuck Norris sees Alex Zanardi, he slinks off, mumbling to himself.

Is it just me or is Vettel looking a bit Brad Keselowski here? Maybe it's the flat brim and the "Duh" expression?

The Veyron was an incredible bit of engineering. But it's also incredibly complex, and it took this massive beast to overtake the nimble, simple, exquisitely engineered McLaren F1.

One of the few F1s to be regularly driven will end up sold to a collector who will keep it off the road. Because $12m cars don't get driven-they get dusted and coveted.
