After what has been an interesting year, it’s time to push away from the keyboard and get ready for a long winter’s nap – for a couple of weeks anyway. Today is my last day to work until Jan 2, so I figured today should be that last day of the year for this site.

Did you catch this little nugget? In between Christmas shopping, holiday parties, meaningless bowl games and other distractions, you may have missed this. In one of the crazier silly seasons we’ve seen in a while, and in a time when IndyCar needs something, anything, positive to come this way – even a simple driver announcement has been met with clumsiness and controversy.
The Loss of a Fan

The title of this post might lead you to think it is about fans getting fed up with the barrage of negative news regarding the NTT IndyCar Series. Sadly, that is not the case.
We Need a Good Laugh Right Now

There is a lot of negativity floating around in the IndyCar universe right now. Many times, I think fans overreact to different news items, but right now – I think fans have a right to be concerned abut the long-term future of the sport we love. The possibility of Honda leaving after the 2026 season is enough to get anyone concerned. I’m concerned too, but unfortunately we fans are sort of in a helpless situation. We have to wait until those in charge make the right moves to make sure that a third engine supplier is found, so that Honda and Chevy aren’t carrying so much of a financial burden.
Honda is Not Bluffing

Just after the Thanksgiving holiday, I was finding it a little difficult to come up with IndyCar-related topics to discuss here. After all, it is the offseason and the holiday season, where things can really slow down in the IndyCar world. The good news is that is no longer the case. The bad news is that the topics coming out of the NTT IndyCar Series for the last several days have mostly been negative.
This is Too Big to Rush It

Once again, there is a delay in testing of the new IndyCar hybrid system that is scheduled to debut at the season-opener at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in three months. There had been a test scheduled for later this week, on the road course at Homestead involving ten teams from the NTT IndyCar Series; but that test has been pushed into January.
Just to be Totally Honest…

It’s tough to come up with IndyCar-related content during the offseason. Believe me, I know that more than anyone. I just had a post a couple of days ago about cord-cutting from cable, so I appreciate any efforts to stay on topic during the offseason.
