Mclaren Announces Button and Alonso for 2015.

Mclaren Honda F1 has confirmed its driver lineup for 2015. Jenson Button will be joined by former Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso who is replacing Kevin Magnussen. Button has one title in 2009. Fernando Alonso has two world titles. Kevin Magnussen will become the team's reserve driver. Button and Alonso will be a great match I believe.

Carlos Sainz Jr. to Replace JEV at Toro Rosso

Carlos Sainz JR. confirmed he will replace Jean Eric Vergne  at Toro Rosso in 2015. Vergne drove worse than rookie teammate Danill Kvyat this season. Kvyat is going to Red Bull next season. Carlos Sainz will join Max Verstrappen as rookies in F1 at Toro Rosso.

Lewis Hamilton is your 2014 F1 Champ. He won the race and the title hold in of a charging Felipe Massa to win the race. His title competitor Nico Rosberg fell out in the closing laps with engine problems. It is Hamilton's second championship. Congrats to him. Valteri Bottas finished 3rd in the race.- Lucas Mercier

Kyvat to Red Bull, Verstrappen to Toro Rosso

Toro Rosso driver Danill Kyvat was confirmed to replace four time champ Sebastian Vettel next year at Red Bull. Vettel is going to Ferrari to replace outgoing two time champ Fernando Alonso. Kyvat was confirmed by Red Bull during today's season finale. Rookie Max Verstrapen will replace Kyvat next year at Toro Rosso. I think Kyvat ccan win the championship in a few years with experience and a good car.- Lucas Mercier

Alonso leaving Ferrari

Ferrari confirmed today that two time champ Fernando Alonso will leave them. He will be replaced by four time champ Sebastian Vettel. Fernando joined ferrari in 2010. His teammates included Kimi Rikennon and Feipe Massa. Alonso will likely return to MCLaren.- Lucas Mercier

Harvick Wins Championship, Race

Kevin Harvick won his first Nascar championship tonight by winning the Nascar season finale at Homestead. His rivals Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano had tire and pit ussues. Ryan Newman finished 2nd in points and the race. It is Harvick's 1st Sprint Cup Championship. Congrats to him. - Lucas Mercier

Nascar Championship Pick

With the final Nascar race in about 4 and 1/4 hours I want to write in who I think will win. I predict Denny Hamlin will win because it is one of his best tracks. He wins 1/5 of the time he comes here. Ryan Newman won't win because he can't ever finish high enough in a race this year. Watch out for Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick to sneak up a take it though. Coverage starts at 1 PM ET on ESPN and the race starts at 3 PM ET. It is the final Nascar race on ESPN. - Lucas Mercier

F1 Cancels Double Points

F! has announced it has canceled its idea for double points on the final race in 2015. Bernie Ecclestone the F1 director annouced that low interest by teams and less excitement caused this. He said if it were only up to him he would put double points on the last three races.
I personally liked double points for the final race. - Lucas Mercier

Nascar Nationwide Series:Matt Kenseth Wins Race, Elliott, Penske get titles.

Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch dominated the race but troubles pulled both of them out of contention for a win. Larson hit the wall and Busch had pit troubles. Matt Kenseth took over the lead with about a quarter of the race left and led the rest to win. Brad Kesolowski took advantage of Kyle Busch's mistakes to give Roger Penske the owner's championship. Chase Elliott already clinched the driver's title last week at Phoenix. This the last Nascar Junior series race on ESPN through at least 2024 and the last race with Nationwide as sponsor. Next year likely Chase Elliott, Regan Smith, Dylan Kwasnieski, and Chris Buescher will compete for the title. - Lucas Mercier

Nascar Says Goodbye To ESPN

Tomorrow night's season finale is the final Nascar on ESPN race. NBC will replace ESPN in broadcasting the races. - Lucas Mercier

Caterham to Return Despite Lack of Funding

Caterham announced it will return in Abu Dhabi. The team withdrew from the last race in Austin, Texas due to sponsorship and managerial issues. This will likely be Kamui Kobayashi's last race in an F1 car due to his lack of funding. The other Caterham driver Marcus Ericcson has signed with Sauber next season leaving Caterham's driver lineup in 2015 unknown if they still have a team. - Lucas Mercier

Wallace Done At KBM

Kyle Busch announced his Truck lineup with Erik Jones and newcomer Justin Boston both driving full time. He also announced he will re-expand to three cars with three drivers in a third car. Kyle Busch said he, Matt Tifft, and Daniel Suarez will drive a third car for his team. No sponsorships were announced. I would have loved to see Darrell"Bubba"Wallace JR. in a car. Unfortunately, sponsorship issues will make him  go to a different team hopefully. - Lucas Mercier

Crafton,Kyle Busch, Toyota Win Titles in NCWTS

Matt Crafton became the first driver to win back-to-back Nascar Camping world Truck Series drivers championships by finishing 9th in tonight's race. Darrell Wallace JR. won the race in a hard fought battle against Kyle Larson. Kyle Busch's 4th place finish was enough to give him back-to-back owner's championships. Toyota clinched the truck championship when they started the race. I hoped Ryan Blaney would win the title. Next year I predict the title will be between Erik Jones, Ryan Blaney, and Darrell Wallace JR.
- Lucas Mercier

Nascar Truck Title

At least two titles are on the line tonight. In the drivers championship Matt Crafton has a 25 point lead over Ryan Blaney meaning Crafton would have to finish 11th, or with a lap led 12th, or 13th with most laps lead if Blaney wins. In the owners title KBM's #51 truck has a 10 point lead over Matt Crafton, meaning Matt Crafton must finish 10 points ahead of Busch to win the owners title. Toyota already clinched the manufacturer's title. The season finale starts tonight  at 8 PM ET on Fox Sports 1. The race is at Homestead Miami Speedway. - Lucas Mercier

Gordon Robbed of Chase, Harvick Wins at Phoenix

Kevin Harvick was unstoppable today leading the most laps, leading a lap, and winning the race. But as he and Jeff Gordon were expected to clinch the final two spots in the chase by a point, when Ryan Newman shoved Kyle Larson into the wall in the final corner. That clinched a chase spot for Newman and knocked Larson from about 10th to 28th.If you saw the race you would see clearly Newman dove up the track to intentionally wreck Larson. If Nascar can get Jeff Gordon into the chase last year they can do it again this year. I was really pissed by Newman's cheap-ass move, and that Gordon and Kesolowski weren't in the chase. Congrats to the other chasers Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, and Kevin Harvick on making it to the final round of the championship.

Chase Elliott Wins Title, Kesolowski wins Nationwide Race

Kyle Busch dominated the race leading over 80% of the laps. Brad Kesolowski passed him with a lap to go to win the race, while Chase Elliott just had to finish ahead of teammate Regan Smith to clinch the championship a race early. Chase Elliott did it making it look easy and winning his first Nascar Nationwide Series title. He was the youngest driver to win a major Nascar series championship. He is a descendant of former Nascar champion Bill Elliott.

Breaking:Report:Kurt Busch wanted for Domestic Assault

http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/11836997/kurt-busch-investigation-alleged-domestic-assault

Today the Nascar World was shocked to hear Kurt Busch was wanted for Domestic assault. He reportedly hit former girlfriend Patricia Driscoll many times in the bedroom. Please read the link at the top for more information. Nascar and Patricia both refused to comment. Nascar did not want to comment until the get more information.

Erik Jones lands Ride

Erik Jones will driver the #51 truck next season full time for KBM. He is a former Snowball Derby winner and drove the truck part time this season.

Sauber Contreversy

The Sauber F1 Team may be headed for hard times financially. They have agreed to sign three drivers, incoming rookie Felipe Nasr, Marcus Erikson who currently drives for Caterham, and one of their current drivers Adrian Sutil. Their other current driver Esteban Gutierez is expecting to leave F1 with little teams showing interest in him. It will be interesting to see which drivers they pick and if any lawsuits happen.

Rosberg wins Pole for Brazil Race

Nico Rosberg clinched pole for the next to last race in the F1 season. He edged out his teammate Lewis Hamliton and Felipe Massa. He is 24 points behind Lewis in the championship. I hoped Massa would get pole at his home track instead of another Mercedes 1-2.
-Lucas Mercier

Managerial Issues Spoil F1 Return for Barrichello with Caterham

It's no secret Rubens Barrichello wants to drive a Formula One car again. If Caterham had entered a car in this past weekend's race at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, their regular driver Kamui Kobayashi would have been replaced by Rubens Barrichello. It was a shame because Barrichello's home race would have been in a few weeks, and it would have been nice to watch him race again at his home in Brazil.

No Drivers Fined for Texas Incident

Today Nascar announced no drivers will be punished for their involvements with the post race Texas feud two days ago. Alan Gustafson and Kenny Francis crew chiefs' of Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne were both  fined $50,000 and placed on probation for 6 races.Hendrick crewman Jeremy Fuller (No. 5 team) along with Dwayne Doucette and Jason Ingle (No. 24 team) were each fined $25,000 and suspended for the next six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship points races. Additionally, Dean Mozingo, a crewman  for the No. 24 team -- was fined $10,000 and suspended through the next the next three Nascar  races for the same violations.
I personally think nobody should have had any punishment for there actions.
I love the video it has gotten 700,000 views on Youtube.

Harvick,Kez,Gordon Feud

During the race, on a restart Brad Kesolowski squeezed in between Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson and bumped into Jeff Gordon cutting Gordon's tire. When the race was over Jeff Gordon confronted Kesolowski and Harvick pushed Kez into Gordon starting a brawl between Gordon and Kez. During post race Jeff Gordon called Kez a "Dip expletive" and has now idea how he won a championship. Jimmie Johnson won the race.
I love the video it has gotten 700,000 views on youtube.

COTA Roster Down To 18

In Formula 1, Caterham and Marussia have both pulled their teams from the upcoming COTA race in Austin, Texas. Caterham pulled out due to a dispute over management and Marussia pulled out to improve its car safety. Both were approved to leave by Bernie Ecclestone.
-Lucas Mercier

Keselowski, Stewart Fined for Post Race

Today Brad Keselowski was fined $50,000 and Tony Stewart was fined $25,000. They were both placed on probation for 4 races. Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin were not penalized at all. I think Kenseth should be fined for for tackling Keselowski.
-Lucas Mercier

Keselowski, others feud in post race

Apparently winning is no longer the biggest headline of a race as Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, and Tony Stewart. After the race when Hamlin tried to confront Keselowski Hamlin's crew held Hamlin back saying "If you do this it won't end well." Leaving Hamlin to only throw a towel at Kez. This all started with about 2 laps to go Hamlin and Kez were pushing each other up the track and blamed the other person for taking them both in the wall and losing many positions.
On the cool down lap, Keselowski drives up the track to intentionally wreck Hamlin. He misses and attempt's to hit Hamlin's car during pit lane. In pit lane Kez wrecks Hamlin's teammate Matt Kenseth by accident and also hits Tony Stewart. Tony Stewart drives backwards to intentionally wreck Keselowski and destroy's Kez's car.
After the race as Kesolowski walks to his hauler, Matt Kenseth comes from behind and tackles Kez starting a brawl between pit crews which is eventually broken up by nascar officials. The drivers could not come to a conclusion as to who started the fight.
My dad predicts that Tony Stewart will wreck Keselowski next week at the begining of the race.
I predict  Nascar will veto another feud.

I believe the new chase format was the cause of this.

Hornish to replace Ambrose at RPM

Richard Petty announced today that Sam Hornish JR. will replace Marcos Ambrose in the #9 Ford Fusion next season. Ambrose is going to drive Australian V8 Supercars next year for team Penske. This year Hornish has driven Joe Gibbs' Nationwide Car on a limited basis. A sponsor has not yet been announced for Hornish.

Bianchi Injured in Horrific Crash

On Sunday Jules Bianchi was injured in a horrfic crash. The tow tractor was picking up Adrian Sutil's car when Jules Bianchi' Marussia slid into the tow tractor and through it. The race was called under Red Flag. Bianchi was airlifted to the hospital and underwent surgery that day.Lewis Hamilton won the race by default. I send my condolences to Bianchi and his family. This is truly a tragedy.
Watch the video with caution.

Vettel Leaving Red Bull

This Morning  it was announced that Sebastian Vettel will leave Red Bull at the end of the season. He has spent 15 years with the team that gave him 4 F1 World Titles. He announced he will go to Ferrari in 2015 to replace the outgoing Kimi Raikonen.Vettel will drive alongside Spainard Fernando Alonso. Daniil Kyvat from Toro Rosso Red Bull's junior team will replace Vettel in 2015. In my opinion Red Bull and Ferrari are doomed. Red Bull's new driver lineup is Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kyvat. That is not a strong enough driver lineup to compete for championships. A Ferrari is making the same mistake with Alonso and Vettel as MCLaren did with Senna and Prost. They are going to end up taking each other out so someone else wins.
             I was deeply dissapointed to hear Sebastian Vettel will leave Red Bull.

Who Got Eliminated?

This past weekend Jeff Gordon won at Dover to clinch the round of 12. Where Aric Almirola, AJ Allmindenger, Greg Biffle and Kurt Busch were elminated. Aric Almirola was never a legitimate threat to make it through. Greg Biffle had struggles and never made it to the front.AJ Allmindenger struggled with speed. Kurt Busch's car lost it's handling toward the end of the race.
-Lucas Mercier

Watch the last Regular season chase race tonight at 7-11pm on ABC. Expect Larson,Newman,Biffle,Bowyer and others to compete for the last 2 chase spots.

Button to retire?

With McLaren chasing Vettel or Alonso could Button move? I think it is possible but not likely.

Tony Stewart to Return

Tony Stewart will return at this weekend's Oral-B 500. He had a 3-week absence from racing after killing a sprint car driver. He said he was deeply affected by what he had done. I believe his absence has helped him mentally. He said in his press conference today that he was sorry and prayed for Kevin Ward's family. Tony said he cannot take any questions due to the ongoing investigation. Tony said besides his immediate family the racetrack is where he belongs. Brett Flood the VP of his team said Tony's only contact with Kevin Ward's family was sending them a card and flowers. They also said Tony will meet with Kevin Ward's family at a later time. Shoot out to Tony who finished 10th in his first Nascar practice back!

In other news, Audi driver Andre Lotterer will make his F1 debut replacing Kamui Kobayashi.

Danica Triggers Wreck At Michigan

Danica Patrick caused yet another wreck! Shocker! Danica Patrick spun on lap 20 colliding and slamming with Justin Allgier. The wreck also took out Michel Annett, Trevor Bayne, Martin Truex Jr, Matt Kenseth and Aric Almirola. Kenseth and Bayne both went to the garage and are likely done for the day. Next time Danica should wreck her boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Stewart to miss Michigan

Tony Stewart announced he will miss this weekend's Pure Michigan 400 . Jeff Burton will replace him in the 14 car. Hopefully this improves Stewart's PR rating.

Ryan Blaney signs with Wood Brothers

Ryan Blaney will run 12 NSCS races for the famous 21 starting in 2015. Could it start an alliance with Penske. Ryan Blaney is Penske's development driver.
-Lucas Mercier

3M leaves Biffle for Gordon

Hendrick Motorsports has announced that the company 3M will sponsor Jeff Gordon and his no. 24 car starting in 2015 through 2017. It will sponsor 11 races annually. 3M had been with Roush Racing and Greg Biffle for nearly a decade now. Greg Biffle was slated to do a deal with 3M through 2018 and now will have to find a new primary sponsor. Some ideas are Nationwide Insurance, Ebay and possibly
Fastenal. Jeff Gordon resigning with Hendrick through 2017 likely means we won't see Chase Elliott in a full time cup car anytime soon.
-Lucas Mercier

AJ Allmindenger clinches chase, wins at Glen

There is no bigger Cinderella story in Motorsports than AJ Allmindenger. He was suspended in 2012 for violating drug policy. Came back and won two nationwide races for Roger Penske. Got hired in 2014 for JTG-Daugherty racing. He held the best of the best, Marcos Ambrose for the win. Congrats to AJ and his team on their 1st win.

Future of Tony Stewart and Stewart Haas Racing after Kevin Ward Sprint Car tragedy

Will Tony Stewart ever race Nascar or Sprint Cars again? Will his team still compete for wins and championships again? It was announced at 10:54 AM ET that Regan Smith will pilot the number 14 car today at the Glen. If I were Gene Haas I would tell Nascar to keep all points and sent the purse or prize money to Kevin Ward's family. It was a good idea that Tony stewart would not drive because he is mentally unstable right now.
-Lucas Mercier

Tony Stewart kills Sprint Car Driver

If you hadn't heard already, Tony Stewart was sprint car racing in New York last night, when he had contact with another driver and Kevin Ward JR. the other driver got loose on the outside and wrecked.
Kevin Ward JR walked on to the track under yellow and walked in  front of Tony's car . Tony hit the throttle when the 20 year old Kevin Ward jumped in front of his car  running over Kevin likely breaking his leg and knocking him unconscicous . Kevin was then sent flying through the air about 20 and layed motionless. The race was stopped and drivers and fans were escorted from the premisise. Tony was swarmed with sheriffs and reporters and his own security personnel. Kevin Ward died at the hospital about 45 minutes later. Tony announced about twelve hours later that he would race in the Cheez- It 355 his nascar cup race he was supposed to drive in. Around 10:30 AM ET Tony's manager announced breaking news that Tony Stewart would not drive. My thoughts and prayers go to Kevin Ward and his family.
-Lucas Mercier

Force India's unique lineup

Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez, two of the best young drivers in F1. Perez had a tough year and was dumped by Mclaren. Hulkenberg was below average but had an enormous second half comeback.
I predict maybe a podium or two for Hulkenberg and Perez finishes about 8th in points.
-Lucas Mercier

3 has returned

Nascar gave Austin Dillon the 3, I think he deserved it.He won two championships, and even went to the Little League World Series. I think he could make a legacy of himself.
