From Indianapolis to Darlington, Dale Earnhardt Jr to Michael Schumacher, I will strive to appease all race fans with commentary, blogs, driver rankings, bios, your favorite auto racing series and racecar drivers, tracks, rumors and controversial issues that make the news.

NASCAR Nextel Cup will be the primary series of auto racing that I will cover due to it's immense popularity- Formula 1, FIA World Rally , Touring Car and GT Championships, and the Indy Racing League will not be ignored.

Please email me any suggestions. Check out our discussion forum.

Danica Patrick Finally Wins

Danica Patrick wins her first IndyCar race at Japan's Twin Motegi.
No longer is she only the IRL eye-candy that looks better than she races. Danica Patrick won her first IRL race in the rain delayed event at Twin Ring Motegi. She becomes the first female to win in the IndyCar Series, significant indeed. It was her 50th career start in IRL. Patrick was a rookie in 2005.

Patrick took advantage of fuel mileage after Scott Dixon pitted. She passed Helio Castroneves and pulled away to win by over 5.8 seconds.

"It's a long time coming, finally...I was managing to save fuel and keep the speed up and when I saw Helio, I knew he was the one to beat," said the euphoric winner.

Cynics have accused Danica Patrick of being the Anna Kournakova of auto racing. Sure, she has sex appeal, but can she win? Patrick answered those questions in Japan. It is time to take Patrick seriously.

And Helio, you got beat by a girl.
