Sao Paulo delivers on promises of greatness

Could we have asked for a better season opener? Yesterday’s track issues were sorted out perfectly (with thanks due to Tony Cotman and the team at NZR Consulting), and the IZOD IndyCar Series responded by offering up drama in spades — albeit with a bit of help from Mother Nature.

In defense of Sao Paulo

Why are you staring at me like that? It’s because I made some derogatory comments about the track surfacing issues at Daytona, isn’t it? I had a feeling that was going to come back to bite me. (I didn’t expect it to happen so soon, though.)
