START THE BIG 3-0 BMW CELEBRATES M5 ANNIVERSARY WITH NEW EDITION BY AUTOWEEK STAFF BMW ANNOUNCED ITS NEW 30th Anniversary Edition M5 sedan, saying it is producing only 300 “30 Jahre M5s,” (30 years of M5) with just 30 coming here. The special-edition M5 is offered to the first 29 customers— BMW of North America is keeping one for now. The 30th-anniversary car uses an upgrad- ed 4.4-liter TwinPower V8 making 600 hp— 40 hp more than the standard M5—and 516 lb-ft of torque. It’s the most powerful M5 ever. The extra power comes from increased turbo boost. Drive is channeled rearward through the M5’s seven-speed dual-clutch, remapped for the increase. The anniversary car also has the competi- tion package, including modified exhaust, lower suspension, sportier steering and ex- clusive wheels. It also has a dedicated con- trol module for the Active M Differential, quicker for the track. The 0-60 sprint should take just 3.7 seconds, BMW says. All anniversary M5s have a 1/300 identi- fication number. Your purchase includes a BMW M Driving School invite for this fall at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs, Calif.

  • Spotter Guide
    FAST FACT The highest recorded temperature in the U.S. was 134° F (56.7° C) in Death Valley, Calif., on July 10, 1913. The highest recorded track temperature during an Indy car race was 137° F (58.3° C) on July 7, 2013 at Pocono Raceway. Graham Rahal raises his fist in celebration after taking the checkered flag at his home track of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, putting him within nine points of championship frontrunner Juan Pablo Montoya. John Cote/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: MONTOYA LOOKS TO TIGHTEN GRASP ON LEAD: With wins at St. Petersburg and the Indianapolis 500, Juan Pablo Montoya remains atop the Verizon IndyCar Series point standings. The Colombian, who has won four of his previous 10 500-mile races, leads Graham Rahal by nine points and Scott Dixon, Helio Castroneves and Will Power are within striking distance. Can Montoya repeat at Pocono and strengthen his hold on the series championship lead? ANDRETTI SEEKS BREAKTHROUGH WIN AT HOME TRACK: Marco Andretti will compete in a virtual hometown race at Pocono. Andretti can lean on family ties for some advice as Pocono is one of two tracks where all three generations of racing’s most famous family have had success. Andretti’s grandfather, open- wheel great Mario Andretti, won the 1986 race, while his father Michael won pole for the race in 1986. Marco claimed the pole for the race in 2013. KARAM RACES AT HOME: Like the Andretti family, Sage Karam hails from nearby Nazareth, Pa., and will be racing in front of friends and family.

  • The True Story of the Year the King, Jaws, Earnhardt, and the Rest
    He Crashed Me So I Crashed Him Back: The True Story of the Year the King, Jaws, Earnhardt, and the Rest of NASCAR's Feudin', Fightin' Good Ol' Boys Put Stock Car Racing on the Map, Mark Bechtel, Little, Brown, 2011, 0316034037, 9780316034036, 320 pages. On a cold February day in 1979, when most of the Northeast was snowed in by a blizzard, NASCAR entered the American consciousness with a dramatic telecast of the Daytona 500. It was the first 500-mile race to be broadcast live on national television and featured the heroes and legends of the sport racing on a hallowed track. With one of the wildest finishes in sports history--a finish that was just the start of the drama--everything changed for what is now America's second most popular sport. HE CRASHED ME SO I CRASHED HIM BACK is the story of an emerging sport trying to find its feet. It's the story of how Bobby Allison, Donnie Allison, Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip, A.J. Foyt, and Kyle Petty came together in an unforgettable season that featured the first nationally televised NASCAR races. There were rivalries--even the sibling kind--and plenty of fistfights, feuds, and frenzied finishes. Rollicking and full of larger-than-life characters, HE CRASHED ME SO I CRASHED HIM BACK is the remarkable tale of the birth of modern stock-car racing.. DOWNLOAD HERE The Earnhardt Collection The Most Comprehensive Archive Ever Assembled, , Feb 28, 2006, , 256 pages.
