We'll probably be moving into off-season mode, which means more sporadic (e.g., not every day) posts, whenever there's news to print.
We'll try to follow the SillySeason news as it happens, and also follow some of the drivers as they run in the off-season -- Sam in NASCAR, Buddy Rice in A1GP, RHR in sports cars, et al ...
NASCAR stuff
AP: NASCAR watching with interest the move over by open-wheel champs
Says former IRL champ Tony Stewart: "It shows how strong NASCAR is, how much fun the series is and where these guys really want to be."
Says Jeff Gordon, who should've been in IndyCar racing ... "A guy like Dario, I think it's ambitious and so I applaud him for taking that step. I think he's got a lot of talent, so he can pull it off."
Autosport: Hornish worried about qualifying
Says Sam, about Dario and qualifying on time: "The good thing about Dario's position is that if he goes to the No. 40 car, he's top-35 in the points, he doesn't have to worry about qualifying for the first couple of races ... That's a thing that if we decided to go full time racing, we would have to basically start from scratch and qualify our way in."
