TV Times: Hamlin Ditches Monkey, Junior Snake-bit (again)

Lou Modestino's TV TimesIt was a very busy motor head weekend with a few surprises like Denny Hamlin finally getting the “monkey off his back” and winning a Cup race.

You could see for the pastfew monthsthat he was “on a mission”. He’s certainly capable of being a “closer” as was proved on Sunday at MIS. ” I had a chance to win in the last six races and this one worked for me, ” said Hamlin. It was no surprise that Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards were within striking distance. The other surprise was Paul Menard coming in fourth. Edwards made a good accounting of himself a day early when he won the Nationwide race at MIS. Ty Dillon came home the winner in the ARCA support event.

On the other hand JR seems to be “snake bit”. Just when you feel he’ll break his drought, something happens to him. The crowd at MIS was a decent turnout. But, we’re not sure that NASCAR will ever get sell-outs to their Cup events again even if things do get better on the economic scene? If they do it’s because the various tracks on the circuit will have to promote like they never did before. The successful past 12 year run, prior to the Great Recession, was accomplished by internal dynamics by the fansand not how the events were promoted. Onerace watcher, with a lot of credibility,related that”NASCARdoesn’t have a clue on why they experienced their growth and popularity. So don’t expect them tofigure outhow to get the fans to come back.”
The Indy Car race at Milwaukee wasn’t the best in terms of coordination or preparation. There were all together too many wrecks on the track and mistakes in the pits. The combination of the two took away from the presentation. Though, it could have been worse because no one waslost as a result. Dario Franchitti survived all of the carnage and came home a winner with Graham Rahal and Oriol Servia getting the leftovers. The fan turnout was disappointing and there’s some fear that the IZOD Indy Cars could be scratched at that venue.And while were at it, when is Indy Car going to move off the VS Channel toNBC? Comcast owns both VS and NBC so it’s really no big deal. Chad Reed took the AMA MotoX at Budd’s Creek, MD while Craig Dolansky won the WoO go at Grand Forks, ND.
Seven-time Pikes Peak Hillclimb champion Jeff Zwart, from Woody Creek, Colo., will not only take Porsches fastest road car ever up the mountain next week at the worlds most famous hillclimb, but he will drive the street-legal, 620 horsepower 911 GT2 RS the 1100 miles from Porsche Motorsports North America in Santa Ana, Calif. to the event.

 

Zwart, a commercial film director, will defend his 2WD Time Attack class championship from last year, when he smashed the class record by more than 30 seconds in a modified Porsche 911 GT3 Cup road racing car. He returns to his roots at Pikes Peak testing the limits of the ultimate street Porsche on the mountain.

Formula One team Ferrari has extended its partnership with tobacco company Philip Morris through to the end of 2015. Philip Morris Marlboro brand has been a sponsor of the team since 1984 and Ferraris title partner since 1997. Although tobacco advertising was banned from the sport in 2007, the teams official name away from the track remains Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro.
Last year, Ferrari removed a barcode livery from its F1 cars that was thought to resemble Marlboro branding after the team was accused of subliminal advertising. In a one-line statement, the team confirmed: Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro announces that it has extended its collaboration agreement with Philip Morris International to the end of 2015.
Ferrari was the last F1 team to remove tobacco branding from its cars, with Williams being the first to run without the branding in 2000. Philip Morris previous deal with Ferrari was struck in 2005 and was due to expire at the end of the 2011 season. While NASCAR was able to sever the relationship with tobacco and survive, F1 is a different story.
Ferrari is currently third in the Constructors Championship standings with 101 points behind McLaren-Mercedes on 186 and RBR-Renault on 255. Ferrari drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa are fifth and sixth in the Drivers Championship, with 69 and 32 points, respectively, after the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday.
According to SportsBusinessInternational the Bahrain GP has been scratched for good. This come amid a controversy and a dust-up between different factions within F1. If the estimates were correct, earlier this year, then F1 could end up taking a $100 million hit.
We were very surprised to see that the late Richie Evans was inducted into the latest class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. We remember Richie winning ways on the short paved tracks in the northeast and his rare appearances on the super-speedways like Daytona and others. NASCAR, over the years, seemed to ignore the club’s oldest division. But, this time they came through.
It’s still very busy with motorsports on the local, national and international scene. To check on all that try racefantv.com on the internet to see what’s happening.
