As now indicated before, Paul Menard, including the sponsor has millions of his father left the DEI team and will compete in 2009 in Yates. Blow for DEI, where it keeps coming not just another sponsor, you will lose an additional fat source of income. The previous sponsor of the # 8 has also finally given his goodbye known. 2009 will be - this is somewhat surprising - move to Stewart / Haas and take over the sponsorship of Ryan Newman (# 39). Obviously you will have to get used to some 2009 new color / rider combinations.

IRL TV Calendar 2009
Can we ever be pinning on the wall. There are great surprises there, since the deal with Versus is known, yes. A few races are still streaming from ABC, ESPN being here takes on the technical aspects. There is no clear statement in terms of broadcasting rights for Germany. There were probably a number of indications that the IRL debut remains true, but even if not, I'm a little worried because, as probably will strike € sports, the rights should not be purchased by Premiere. But I have things in Premiere / IRL is not a bad feeling that has since decided to premiere a week, probably also to show again the A1 GP series. This is the first positive signs in terms of motor sport and Premiere for a long time:
NASCAR - video game in Kansas
There were quite a few this year, overtaking maneuvers, which were quite hard. Kyle Busch against Junior in Richmond is one because immediately. But what Carl Edwards did on Sunday in the final corner, was perhaps the boldest attempt that has been seen since the "pass in the grass." Unfortunately, yes it worked, but the very idea of it is sufficient to at least a footnote in NASCAR history. But otherwise, the race had to offer. It was not always exciting, but there were plenty of exercise and a Gibbs team that threatens to fall apart completely in the Chase.

Formula One - lack of planning in Singapore
You have probably Nelson Piquet in his (I think my times) last race in Formula One, be very grateful. If he's not as pretty Renault sharpened in the wall, the safety car had stayed phase, which has the field pretty mixed. For up to the wall kiss the Brazilian threatened the race to become just such a bore, like Valencia. The first 12 laps in fact did nothing, and the field moved apart at an alarming manner. It looked more like an individual time trial and not like a real race. But this year, several races have already taken a strange turn, which is due to the rule that the pit lane is tight when the safety car goes out. And that's what yesterday was a lot of people very unhappy.
New Design
As you can see, the new design is online. I hope it runs well and has no errors, but it actually went smoothly in all browsers. The biggest advantage of the new design is the wide right column, so you have more space in the chat. Another new feature - the pages with the TV schedule so there are now more easily above the top of the page. In addition, the box changes reload the sidebar on the pictures for. However, they are not clickable, I have to see how I hinbiege the code. At some point, I am also building the gallery to function, but as long as you have to click through the previews. If you find errors, please put this in the comments. It is best to specify the browser and above all version numbers. But with IE7, FF3.02, tested Opera 9.5 and Google Chrome!
F1 - Singapore Free Training 2008
As today the first images flickered from Singapore on my laptop, I was really flabbergasted. I had already thought that there would pretty pictures - but that could still look better than I had imagined. I can only say: Wow! First, because the cars look really good in this light, partly because it has organized there a really good stretch. It is varied, fast, has beautiful passages and calls for the pilot. Simply the race on Sunday will not, even if it remains dry. But there were also sports and a few surprises.

NASCAR - Kansas 2008
After the Shorttracks it is now back on an oval 1.5 miles. Kansas is a relatively new oval on which the Cup is underway only since 2001. With a 15-degree banking is one more on the shallow side, but the track is not so monotonous. On the contrary. Since it only runs once a year, you need the free practice sessions again especially for the race setup. Quality is not as important as the track is wide, and you can pass relatively well. But some things must, in Kansas yet.

F1 - The fear of the night
Formula One is facing a real premiere. Night races are not uncommon in the United States. NASCAR, IRL, ALMS, even the ride ever get into the evening hours. In the case of NASCAR and IRL races this night, however, are limited to ovals that can be easily illuminate. A race on a street circuit in the night I is not known. Hence, what makes Formula One since tomorrow is already a fairly new thing, in which nobody knows how it will end.
F1 - McLaren problem / NASCAR - Allmendinger away, as Skinner
Not really much going on, but what is even more normal Wednesday. Wednesday is the day of travel for most series, so now most of the protagonists are on the road. Either they are sitting on a plane to Singapore, or have there already sponsors activities, or you are with the truck and other equipment in the direction of Kansas (NASCAR) on the road. This gives me the opportunity a few thoughts on the ruling in Formula One to formulate. It is known that the FIA Court of Appeal dismissed the desired change in the judgment of Spa by McLaren-Mercedes. That was not really surprising, I think. What even more surprising is the frequency, is sentenced with McLaren.

NASCAR - MWR, GEM, DEI, Ganassi rumors
Michael Waltrip has made clear over the weekend that his team with nothing and no one comes together. Not even with Chip Ganassi. Waltrip, who could enter the weekend with the 10th place, the best result for a long time, made clear that he is negotiating with any team, but in 2009 four cars will be at the start. As drivers are set: He himself, David Reutiman and Michael McDowell. In terms of rider number four, there is no announcement, but the market is when it comes to drivers not exactly empty. As a sponsor for Reutimann Dow Chemical is under discussion.
- Ganassi is not married with MWR, but it is now Gillette Evernham be. The usual well-informed circles reported that they would be in intense negotiations. What would not make sense since both belong to Dodge. Also there are rumors that Ganassi has caught AJ Allmendinger and still this season. Allmendinger at Red Bull to be replaced by Scott Speed, who, when he comes it urgently needed this year more Cup bets. If you want to turn Ganassi Sorenson will go as quickly as possible. Allmendinger would not be bad for Ganassi, since he does well on road courses and he would stand for use in the GrandAm available. Allmendinger is, it goes to the rumors that are already sitting in the car in Kansas. I think not, I would imagine that it will be so much more like Talladega.
- Paul Menard, son of millionaire after all, and settled in the NASCAR midfield, especially considering what to do next year. At DEI, he pays the full use of his car, but what DEI sporty little financially but brings all the more. For months, he is well into negotiations with Yates. The economically battered team this year has he probably rolled out the red carpet. Mendard feels so not good at DEI because he is viewed as a team only as a cash cow. When you have him well-Yates promised to be a real team member.
- Because of the merger between GEM and Robby Gordon has burst, Gordon is looking for a new partner. He could have found in DEI, which, as mentioned above steceken, that yourself in trouble. What of the rumor is? Hard to say, because Gordon would have to again go to the manufacturer. After all - Dodge says to Gordon at the moment at all.
- Jeff Gordon in 2009 will be a new paint job on the go. Instead of the many colors of the rainbow, he is now to be in black on the go. What is needed is the repainting because sponsor want to apply for Dupont anything new. Also makes a color change so always good for the sale of merchandise.
