The IRL makes the gossip column
Check out the Indianapolis Star for photos from Sarah Fisher's wedding.
"Back Home Again in Indiana" was played on the church bells as they left (just like at the 500 this year, without Jim Nabors," guests got IndyCar cookie-cutters (so, if you get IndyCar-shaped cookies at Christmas, you know who was on the guest list), and Lyn St. James, the Carpenters & the Georges were on hand for the wedding.
Now, they're asking for Indy to be earlier
Why doesn't NASCAR just move the Fizzy Pop 600 back an hour, instead?
This guy is insinuating that Buddy Lazier is going to run Nextel Cup next year. Uh, yeah. Suddenly, Lazier became an Open Wheel big shot last week when Franchitti, Villeneuve & Hornish all started popping up in the news and OW racing became the flavor of the day. Lazier IS an OW big shot, but he hasn't driven full-time in a couple of years, something these Southern writers might figure out if they actually picked up the media guide.
Dario on Colin McRae
A horrible story to come out of the weekend was Colin McRae's death. It hit very close to home for Dario Franchitti, says John Oreovicz.
Dario says he got into flying a helicopter because of McRae. Says Dario of his friend: "He lived life. He was always doing something, and he was always flat-out on it. You could see that in the way he drove his rally car, the way he would pitch the thing in sideways. He was always spectacular, where nowadays most people drive those things like road cars. I always thought he was bulletproof; he came out of some scrapes in a rally car and motorbikes and he was a real-life action man. That's why this is so shocking."

Apparently, a $100 million penalty and losing all of the owner points isn't enough for Ferrari, which says McLaren got off light in F1 spygate.
And finally
The New Zealand media had a bad time trying to watch Scott Dixon sputter toward the championship
