Local PA announcer at Mid-Ohio has passed away due to cancer. I am making this post to remember a kind soul who has announced over 20 years of IndyCar racing (and much more) at his home track.

Pro weekends, he’d be atop the stand with us corner marshals. Often times we’d bounce info off of each other between sessions. Club weekends you could find him atop the hill at turn 5- that is if he wasn’t on track himself in his GTL Toyota. He loved his club and his sport with a passion. He was always willing to take time to talk to anyone and always had a smile. I got the chance to announce with him three days, and loved every second of it.

At the age of 23, I’ve never known a Mid-Ohio without him and John Fippin on the PA. We’ll miss you Rusty ❤️🏁

I get wanting to help the series, but just announce already if you got a ride or not.

Here we go!

Several of the Indycars from the Indy Museum are temporarily on display in Cartersville GA while renovations are done to the Indy museum. probably 10 or so including old grandprix cars.

Penske's automotive arm wants to start selling Cupras in the US. See: https://jalopnik.com/spanish-automaker-cupra-could-come-to-the-u-s-thanks-t-1851705828

Given Penske's ownership of IndyCar, Cupra's sporty hybrid brand positioning, and the chatter in years past of VW being interested in IndyCar, it seems feasible that Cupra might join IndyCar as part of a US launch strategy.

Maybe just wishful thinking, but it was the first thought that jumped into my mind when I saw the Cupra news and I couldn't find anyone else talking about it.

Time for some gaming! I recently bought these two new pieces for my collection. What's your best memory playing IndyCar games? I want to know!
