The Tattletale Issue
Let me just say this first: I don’t care that somebody threw the Penske guys under the bus. There, I said it. (Cue the “you work for Hendrick” trolling in 3…2…1…) Last week, after both Penske cars were busted by NASCAR at Texas for some creative rear-end components, Jenna Fryer wrote that NASCAR may have [...]

Iowa Rain Out Causes Pit Crew Problems
On a normal NASCAR weekend when the Truck Series and/or Nationwide Series run companion to the Cup cars, there are a lot of pit crew members who double or triple dip. Crew members make some extra cash and get more reps, and the teams get top talent pitting their cars. But this last weekend presented [...]

You want Jimmie Johnson?s banquet speech? Here?s Jimmie Johnson?s banquet speech
The Sprint Cup Series gathered in Las Vegas Friday night to toast Jimmie Johnson's sixth championship. Jay Mohr hosted the banquet and cracked some great jokes about Danica Patrick, Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon. But the night belonged to Johnson and company who were back at the head table after a two-year absence.

Erik Buell Racing To Field Geoff May And Aaron Yates In World Superbikes In 2014
Erik Buell Racing have officially confirmed they will be competing in the World Superbike championship in 2014. Today, EBR announced that they will be fielding Geoff May and Aaron Yates in the WSBK class, racing Erik Buell's EBR1190RX, an 1190cc 72° V twin, which has its roots in the Rotax-built machine produced when Buell was still part of Harley Davidson. Both May and Yates are long-term veterans of the AMA Superbike series, May having already raced for EBR in the AMA in 2013.
The EBR team will be backed by Hero, the Indian motorcycle manufacturer which is a minority shareholder in the EBR manufacturer. As a small manufacturer, EBR will need all the help they can get from Hero, as the homologation quantities required to be accepted for World Superbikes are sizable. EBR must have already produced 125 units before offering the EBR1190RX for homologation for the WSBK series. They must have produced a total of 500 bikes by 30th of June 2014, and 1000 in total by the end of 2014. They then have to produce another 1000 by the end of 2015, averaging three bikes a day, a real challenge for a small manufacturer. They also have to sell these units, and though the EBR1190RX has been favorably received by the press so far, there is no official word on sales figures at the moment. For more details on the homologation process and how it affects EBR, see this story on Asphalt & Rubber.

Here?s what Danica Patrick would look like as a bodybuilder
We all know that Danica Patrick is a workout fiend. But what if she suddenly, uh, got a lot of help, and bulked up like crazy?
Well, this is what she would look like.
Patrick donned a muscle suit for a GoDaddy commercial shoot this week in Los Angeles. The commercial will air during the Super Bowl -- remember, Patrick is the person who has appeared in the most Super Bowl ads -- and it's part of GoDaddy's departure for this year's Super Bowl. The company has said that it's not going to go the risque route for the 2014 Super Bowl like it has in other years. Which apparently means bodybuilder costumes and heavily muscled men running down the street.
We'll see if this commercial rates any better than previous ones.
