I only finally found out today that Tudor is a watch brand. I was all set to ask how a watch brand can sponsor USCC when Rolex sponsors their first and biggest race before I also found out that Tudor is owned by Rolex.

I'd just like to point out how hilarious it is that #nascar is the home of Daytona 24h, Le Mans, and Bathurst.

Apparently today's Conti race, the overall winner had their win stripped and a woman has won at Daytona overall for the first time. Sorry Danica.

Two bits of GOOD NEWS:

1. Formula E announced its Los Angeles track: Long Beach! Will happen two weeks before the IndyCar weekend on a shorter track with (what else?) a chicane.




I wonder if they're banking on people confusing them for IndyCars and going to see them instead.

It was hilarious though watching a meh road course driver run train all over the nascar dudes though. A.J. Allmendinger was pulling ahead by >.2 seconds per lap every lap until his rear tires started to give out.

Dude Allmendinger is a damned good road racer. Back in 2006 he was the only driver that could keep Bourdais honest in Champ Cars.

They should make another front-engined prototype like the Mustang GTP imo.
