How much do you usually pay to enter a race? If it is a 5 km around the park fun run, my bet is that it costs you a whole lot less than if it is a fully blown marathon or longer. But that is all kind of reasonable when you consider what is involved.

Occasionally I am asked what are the differences between a Formula 1 and Champ Car chassis. Yet how many people really know what a Champ Car is? (As I’m frequently asked to explain what they are)
Unfortunately the majority of today’s non-racing savvy public only knows what “RASSCAR” (Nextel Cup) is… So my simple answer is: Do you know the cars that run at the Indianapolis 500? Those are “Indycars,” which a Champ Car loosely resembles.

When they dropped the rag for the start of the Lenox Industrial Tools 300 it didn’t take long for the 1st caution to come out. Ward Burton blew an engine that caused the yellow to drop. Dave Blaney led the field to a green start again with 11 laps in the books.
The Hendrick cars had already started showing their muscles as Jeff Gordon moved to 2nd and Jimmie Johnson taking 8th. The race was 31 laps old as Gordon passed Blaney for the lead. Other battles on the track included Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Reed Sorenson who were fighting for 4th place.
