Aug. 20 newsstand

Today's newsstand ... *light*.

Already looking forward to Infineon
San Gabriel Valley Tribune: Danica waiting for victory.
Apparently, Danica is flattered that people keep asking the never-ending question, "when are you going to win?" (while Danica is talented, the 7 car has always been AGR's fourth-best machine).

IndyCar.com: Friends, rivals, countrymen
A look at Helio and Tony ... interesting timing, considering the last time they were on the track, they touched while not racing for position.

IndyCar.com: Heavy logistical load
From Sonoma to Detroit to Chicago, a busy three-week closing stretch awaits the ICS teams.

Some IPS drivers are using their tests ... Alex Lloyd (TCGR) and Andrew Prendeville (RLR) have tested IndyCars within the last week.

Non-IRL stuff
I normally don't use blogs as sources without direct sources, because anyone with a computer can write anything. However, this was just too juicy to pass up, so take it for what it's worth (and with a grain of salt).

Murphy The Bear -- an ALMS-centric blog -- is crediting anonymous sources for a scenario that has Champ Car being sold to Don Panoz and ALMS/IMSA, possibly ranging from IMSA taking over the sanctioning operations to suspending the 2008 CC season. It seems to have throw-it-to-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks credibility, but it apparently was enough to draw a response from Steve Johnson (who seems to be about as credible as Saddam's press guy was during the early Iraq war). Usually, such high-level guys tend to ignore blogs.
