Andretti: why I didn’t like Indy

January 11th, 2010 | Gordon Kirby | 5 Comments

I had a long conversation recently with Michael Andretti for the book I’m writing about Newman/Haas Racing. Andretti drove for Newman/Haas for 10 seasons between 1989-2000, scoring 35 of his 42 Indycar wins with the team. He won the 1991 CART title with Newman/Haas when Indycar racing was at its… Read more

Gordon Kirby’s Indy 500 preview

May 19th, 2009 | Gordon Kirby | 4 Comments

After the usual two weekends of qualifying the 93rd Indianapolis 500 takes place on Sunday. This year’s race looks like being another Penske versus Ganassi battle, but with everyone aboard roughly similar Dallara-Hondas there’s sure to be a long line of cars in the hunt. And, of course, almost anything… Read more

Castroneves puts Penske on pole at Indy

May 11th, 2009 | Gordon Kirby | 1 Comment

Hélio Castroneves and team-mate Ryan Briscoe traded the top spot back and forth during the six hours of Pole Day qualifying at Indianapolis last Saturday. On a windy afternoon nobody could challenge the Penske pair, with Castroneves eventually edging his team-mate by half a second over the four qualifying laps.… Read more

For the stragglers, Indy qualifying continues

May 16th, 2008 | Gordon Kirby | No Comments

This weekend should be quite a thrash at Indianapolis as everyone who failed last weekend to make the field for this year’s 92nd Indy 500 tries to take one of the remaining twenty-two places in the starting line-up. Chip Ganassi’s drivers and team put on a great show last Saturday… Read more

Indy qualifying starts amid sadness

May 9th, 2008 | Gordon Kirby | 3 Comments

The opening weekend of qualifying for this year’s 92nd Indianapolis 500 takes place this weekend. Favourites for the pole must be Scott Dixon and Dan Wheldon who have been the men to beat on oval tracks so far this year in Chip Ganassi’s pair of Dallara-Hondas. Other pole contenders include… Read more

Indy car racing’s rebirth slowly begins

April 4th, 2008 | Gordon Kirby | 3 Comments

The first unified Indycar race of the 21st century took place last Saturday night before a modest crowd at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. There were many good things to see, including a fierce battle at the front and watching Marco Andretti drive such a strong race on a track where he… Read more
