Kimi Raikkonen has said that he can see his Ferrari team catching Brawn GP, even as soon as this weekend in Turkey. The Finn is highly optimistic about his chances in Istanbul on Sunday, after a Ferrari revival saw him take third place two weeks ago in Monte Carlo.
“We’re closer, that’s for sure, and we’ll have some updates in Turkey. It was great to be back on the podium at Monaco. The team pushed very hard and it was a very nice reward to have both cars amongst the first four.â€

Rockstar/Makita Suzuki rider Chris Borich is on the top of the points standings after winning four of the first seven Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series races, and looks to be almost unstoppable going into round 8 of the tour, this weekend’s Wiseco John Penton GNCC in Millfield, Ohio.

The news wasn’t that Dale Earnhardt Jr. talked about how his Chevrolet performed during Sunday’s Autism Speaks 400, just how much he talked.

Round #2 of the 2009 Redline Time Attack series is in the books and it certainly was one to remember. This stop of the series was at Willow Springs Raceway. This is a new stop on the Redline Time Attack schedule for 2009 and it proved to be one of the most exciting events so far! Super Lap Battle has run qualifiers at this track for the past three years and in this one event, every Super Lap Battle lap record was demolished despite air temperatures in the low 90s.
Round #1 overall champions FX Motorsports Development returned with hot shoe Billy Johnson to defend their championship title. Fontana Nissan was also there with their Unlimited RWD 350Z to redeem themselves at their “home track” after an engine failure in Round #1. The defending Modified and Street class champions from the season opening event, the Gates311.com Evo X and Reese Tuning/Robispec Evo VIII were also back to defend their positions on top of the podium. We also saw the return of 2008 Unlimited FWD champion Chris Rado in a newly re-built time attack Scion tC as well as new comers Sierra Sierra Enterprises in their Unlimited AWD Mitsubishi Evo VIII.
The Unlimited Class was absolutely incredible to watch at this event…Â Details
