HCN wont be racing at Surfers.
Well it looks like Helio Castroneves wont be making the trip to Surfers Paradise due to the terms of his Bail Agreement. Who will Penske use to fill his seat? Will it be a Penske Driver, Like Sam Hornish Jr. or Patrick Long? Why not Paul Tracy? Or will we see Penske pull a total shocker and place Rafa Matos in the car for a one off? Time will tell.

Castroneves Indicted!!
I simply cannot believe that Helio Castroneves was indicted yesterday on Federal Tax Evasion and Fraud. These charges are very serious and it could jeopardize his driving career. There have been a few drivers in the past that have faced legal troubles while they were still active in racing and very few of them ever recovered. Over the course of the next few days I will highlight a few driver that have had legal troubles during there careers.

INDY CAR YEAR END AWARDS PT 2
Today in the second installment of the Indy Car year end awards I present two awards: Pass of the year and Drive of the Year.
Pass of the Year. In the Indy Car Series passing occurs quite frequently, with cars routinely passing each other 3,4,5, 6 times a lap . This Year One Pass stands out.
On the Lap 160 Resart at this year's Indy 500 Vitor Meira made a pass for the ages. Sitting in third at the restart Meira and Dixon Got around a sluggish Ed Carpenter, who later said that he did not have the correct fuel map setting when the green flag flew, Meira then got an incredible tow off of Dixon, briefly made it "3 wide" and some how passed both cars at the end of the frontstrech. It was an incredible pass, and it is the Motor Racing Online's Pass of the Year.
Here's a video of the Pass From YOU TUBE

The Drive of the Year signifies the driver that turned in the most impressive Driving Performance in a race. There were many great Drives this Year that should be mentioned. Graham Rahal's win at St Petersburg, was a veteran drive from the 19 year old rookie. Paul Tracy's drive at Edmonton was classic PT. Aggressive, Attacking, Fast, and made more amazing by the fact that it was the First time Tracy was in this type of Indy Car on a road course, and It was the first time he was in a car since the Champ Car Finale at Long Beach. This year we don't have to look to far in the past to find this years Drive Of The Year.
What Helio Castroneves did at Chicago this year was amazing. Starting last, working his way through the field, to take the lead, lead the most laps, and win the race, while fighting Dixon tooth and nail for the Championship.
