Yesterday, we got confirmation that Rinus VeeKay will be on the grid for the 2026 NTT IndyCar Series season. He will be piloting the car that Conor Daly drove for the entire 2025 campaign for Juncos Hollinger Racing (JHR). Hopefully, they have scrubbed the cockpit down in the car that Daly urinated in during this past Indianapolis 500.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. That’s not by design. Yep, you guessed it. It’s Susan’s health again. She was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday Oct 8 and it has been a trying few days. She was originally admitted for anemia, but they also found her to be in acute renal failure and that has been the issue we have been dealing with. She had kidney issues before, back in January. But as recently as August, her kidney numbers were normal. The trouble with beating a deadly cancer is that the cure (chemo) is almost as damaging as the cancer itself. It is essential poison that is poured into your body, and the effects show up a few years later.
It’s hard to believe that the month of September has come and gone. One month of the IndyCar offseason is already behind us. Has it really been over a month since Josef Newgarden won on his home track?
If you think it’s been a while since I’ve posted here, you are correct. There are a few reasons for that. Most importantly, Susan was hospitalized over the weekend. Last Thursday afternoon, I got home from work and found her on the couch. That may sound normal to some people, but she likes to be active. She was lethargic and talking a little goofy. I took her temperature and she had a fever of 104.9˚. That was not a typo.
In recent years, I have been looking for any type of distraction while watching the Tennessee Titans play. I found one yesterday as I was perusing through Twitter to take my mind off of the depressing performance in front of me.
When it was officially announced that Will Power would not be returning for an eighteenth season at Team Penske, that put several things in motion and the dominos started falling after that. Honestly, there was not a lot of drama by the time the Power announcement was released right at 10:00 am EDT on Tuesday. Most would have been more surprised if he had stayed by that point. The only perceived drama was the wording on the Team Penske release that said “…Will felt like it was time for him to make a change.”
And just like that, the IndyCar season is over. The season started out slowly. Through the first four races, there was only one caution throughout that span – the opening lap of the opening race at St. Petersburg. Not that I like to watch cars crash, but restarts help to spice up the show. It also didn’t help that Alex Palou opened the season by winning five of the first six races. For the most part, the championship was decided by the end of April. It was a great display of driving on Palou’s part, but there was not a whole lot of suspense going into each race.
