Chevrolet Performance Sonic RS Concept
Chevrolet Sonic may be a small car, but with the right updates, it can become quite mean and aggressive. A good example is this Sonic RS Concept car that will be unveiled at the 2013 SEMA Show on November 5th. The concept was designed by Chevrolet Performance, and it previews elements that will be available at all Chevrolet dealers.
The concept was updated from top to bottom, and it includes engine performance, suspension, brake and appearance upgrades. This Sonic RS is painted in a unique Lemon Peel Yellow hue combined with blue graphics, and tinted headlamps and fog lamps. The interior gets seats in black leather with Lark Yellow contrast stitching.
Under the hood, the 1.4-liter, turbocharged engine receives a Stage Kit, cold-air induction and a high-flow exhaust system that will allow it to deliver more power than its stock 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. Chevy is keeping the output level is being kept a secret for now, but we are thinking it’ll land in the 160-horsepower range.
Along with the engine upgrades, Chevy also equipped this sonic with a track-tuned suspension system that lowers the car’s ride and offers a sportier appearance. The concept sits on18-inch, split-five-spoke wheels combined with a higher-performance brake upgrade kit with Wilwood front calipers.

Kevin Harvick wins first pole in seven years at Kansas
Kevin Harvick's "closer" nickname may have become overused over the past few years for his ability to gain positions late in races. However, he hasn't had a qualifying nickname, at least one that's caught on, and if he did, it certainly wouldn't be about his proclivity to accumulate pole positions.
Harvick qualified first for Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway, for just the sixth time in his career. His last pole came over seven years ago at New Hampshire in 2006. That's just 254 races.
He was one of the fastest cars during Friday morning's practice session and backed it up, knocking Ricky Stenhouse Jr. off the top spot. Jimmie Johnson, second in the points standings, qualified third, while Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano rounded out the top five.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was sixth and points leader Matt Kenseth qualified seventh. The rest of the Chasers went like this: Carl Edwards was ninth, Jeff Gordon was 14th, Kasey Kahne was 15th, Ryan Newman was 17th, Kyle Busch was 18th, Kurt Busch was 19th, Clint Bowyer was 22nd and Greg Biffle was 26th.

Tony Stewart undergoes third leg surgery, team doesn?t expect recovery timetable to be affected
Tony Stewart underwent a third leg surgery on Monday "to examine and close a wound on his shin" from his August sprint car accident according to his team.
The Stewart-Haas Racing release said that Stewart will remain in the hospital for observation.
[Power Rankings: And then there were two]
"The surgery served as a proactive measure and team officials do not expect it to impact Stewart?s return to the No. 14 Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 Chevrolet in 2014," the team's statement said.
Stewart suffered a fracture of his right tibia and fibula on August 5 at Oskaloosa Speedway in Iowa. Immediately after the crash he had surgery to clean the fracture and on August 8 a second surgery was performed to put a metal rod in Stewart's leg and put the tibia in its anatomical position.
Mark Martin, Austin Dillon and Max Papis have replaced Stewart this season and the three-time Cup champ said his recovery timetable is on track for the 2014 Daytona 500.

Phillip Island MotoGP Race Shortened Again To 19 Laps After Problems In Warm Up
After the Bridgestone tires used in the warm up at Phillip Island displayed more problems, Bridgestone has advised Race Direction that their rear tires cannot be guaranteed to last even the distance the race was shortened to last night. The race has been shortened again, to 19 laps, with all riders having to come in before lap 10. The official statement from Race Direction follows below:
UPDATED INFORMATION FROM RACE DIRECTION
Following further problems during the morning warm up we have been notified by Bridgestone that they are unable to guarantee safety of their rear slick tyres beyond 10 laps. It has therefore been decided to make the following changes to the MotoGP class race in the interests of the safety of the riders.
1. The race distance will be 19 laps.
2. Every rider will be required to enter the pits and change to his second machine with fresh tyres at least once during the race. In normal circumstances this means that the rider must change machine only at the end of lap 9 or lap 10.
3. No rider is permitted to make more than 10 laps on any one slick or wet rear tyre. This means that a bike/tyre change before lap 9 will require a second bike/tyre change to finish the race.

Truck Craziest Moment: Crews get heated after Ross Chastain can?t get out of pit stall
Ross Chastain's team wasn't too thrilled with James Buescher's team after the angle that Buescher's truck was pitted at prevented Chastain from getting out of his pit stall.
Buescher had swung in to get around Chastain's box, and when Chastain went to get out of his stall, the tail of Buescher's trick was sticking out, preventing Chastain from getting out of the pits. He had to wait for Buescher to leave before he could get out.
Then Chastain's crew confronted Buescher's crew. However, it was nothing more than some words being exchanged, and the team's crew chiefs were able to sort it out.
