DODGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK “To get a win in our first season last year was awesome. Getting ready for this season has been really great. We’re working with DirtFish and had a lot of time to go testing, really spend a lot of time in the Dodge Darts. Last year, we were limited on testing. We had a brand new car. The platform was awesome; I felt like we had so much to work with. This year Bryce Menzies, a multi-time national champion in off-road truck racing, has spent a lot of time to get our Darts ready and to really, really experiment.” Travis Pastrana, No. 199 Red Bull/Discount Tire Dodge Dart MENZIES SAYS “I’m really excited and looking forward to this year. I got to drive the Dodge Dart two times last year, at X Games and then at the SEMA event. It’s something totally different from what I do right now. I race a two-wheel drive truck. I’m just glad that I’ve got some seat time this year. We’re really looking forward to heading over to Brazil and looking at the course. It will have a lot of dirt, so it’s kind of what I’m used to. I think the Dodge Dart is really going to shine on this type of course. Our game plan is just to be consistent throughout the season and see where we are at the end of the year with the championship.” -- Bryce Menzies, No. 99 Red Bull/Discount Tire Dodge Dart FULL QUOTES PACKAGE FROM TODAY'S (4/16/2013) Dodge Global RallyCross Championship Teleconference with Travis Pastrana and Bryce Menzies Travis Pastrana (No. 199 Red Bull/Discount Tire Dodge Dart) THIS IS YOUR SECOND SEASON BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE DODGE DART. YOU WON LAST YEAR IN ROUND FOUR AT NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE 2013 GLOBAL RALLYCROSS SEASON? “To get a win in our first season last year was awesome. Getting ready for this season has been really great. We’re working with DirtFish and had a lot of time to go testing, really spend a lot of time in the Darts. Last year, we were limited on testing. We had a brand new car. The platform was awesome; I felt like we had so much to work with. This year Bryce Menzies, a multi-time national champion in off-road truck racing, has spent a lot of time to get the car ready and to really, really experiment.” YOU ARE GOING TO FIELD A TWO-CAR OPERATION THIS YEAR. WHAT DO YOU SEE IN BRYCE MENZIES AND WHY IS HE A GOOD FIT BEHIND THE WHEEL THIS YEAR? “The biggest thing about Bryce is that he is a proven champion; the kid has a lot of heart. He’s willing to learn. When we were looking for someone to sub at X Games, Red Bull said ‘hey, look, this kid has a lot of heart, a lot of talent, is a really great off-road driver and we’re trying to get him to Rally’. I was like we’ll check him out, we’ll see. Everybody on the team instantly liked this kid. He showed so much talent but listened to everything. If you really want to be the best, you have to figure out a way to get there. Bryce is our guy, a proven champion and will be a proven champion here in Rally in the future.” ROUND ONE STARTS THIS WEEKEND IN BRAZIL. WHY DO YOU THINK THE FOUR GLOBAL X GAMES ARE SO IMPORTANT TO THE GLOBAL RALLYCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP? “When Global Rallycross paired up with NASCAR last year, we had a huge fan base see our races at the venues. New Hampshire was one of the biggest. That was awesome for us for sure. But the X Games is an event that my Grandma watches. Everyone hears about the X Games. It’s something that everyone wants to be a part of, even the guys from the WRC (World Rally Championship). Everybody that’s anybody is coming over to see if they can be the best in Global Rallycross. I think that’s pretty cool for us.” CAN YOU COMMENT ON SOME OF THE R&D STUFF THAT YOU’VE BEEN DOING PRIOR TO THE SEASON? “We know, I mean, general race specs and general things are pretty constant across the board. The Dodge Dart, it’s a little bit wider. We’re trying to make it as good as or better than the other cars. Last year, it was a little like racing go-karts with the really, really tight pavement turns. We messed around with different dampers (shocks) and suspension just to figure out how to get the car to rotate but keep its advantage when it came to flying through the air.” YOUR SCHEDULE MUST BE A HEADACHE. HOW DO YOU KEEP IT ALL IN PLACE? “I think it’s awesome to be in the car as much as possible. It’s the most fun and the part of my job that I like the most – driving. I shouldn’t say it’s the easiest part but it’s the part that I’m most comfortable with. If I could be in a car every day of the week racing, I feel like I’d be a better racer. I’m excited for the challenge this year.” IS IT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM JUMPING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN RALLYCROSS AND NASCAR? “I think it really helps your reflexes, driving skill and learning the differences of the cars. It’s just difficult when everyone else gets out of one car and they have some time to think about it, then they get back in to qualify. When you get out of one car, get into another car and then get back into the other car, it does present some challenges. I’m pretty excited that I have the opportunity to really see how well we can do in both of these sports and to have an opportunity to go for the win here in Rally.” WILL YOU MENTOR NELSON PIQUET JR. AND HELP GET HIM UP TO SPEED WITH WHAT’S GOING ON STARTING IN BRAZIL? “That’s funny. I’ve been talking a lot to Scott Speed as well as Nelson and these are guys I’ve always looked up to as race car drivers. They’re asking random questions on a lot of the differences. They’re getting up to speed. Obviously great, great talents. I’ve driven the all-wheel drive stuff before but this will be the first major race and it’s on such a sweet stage. Everyone in this sport has been a great help to me through go-karting and NASCAR. I’m definitely happy to repay the favor and see if we can’t have some NASCAR guys battling in the GRC and some GRC guys battling in NASCAR.” COMMENT ON THE TRACK IN BRAZIL. “Last year, the most disappointing part for me was that there really weren’t any true dirt sections on the courses.

New format, new cars and some of the best drivers in the world, it just sounds great!”, Molinaro said. TitansRX CEO Max J. Pucher said: “We have long been looking for a fitting lady to take on our group of fantastic drivers. When I saw, how Tamara was throwing around the Pantera RX6 Supercar, which she had never driven before, I knew she was the perfect choice. So, I am very happy she has agreed to become part of our lineup and I am convinced, she will quickly adapt to the car and the kind of racing in order to be part of this crew, who will bring the most exciting Rallycross to the spectators and on Eurosport." The Italian first drove a rally car at the age of eleven, thanks to her father Giorgio being involved in rallying. At the start of her career, she was mainly known as a co-driver of former Mitsubishi works driver Gigi Galli. In no time, Molinaro was picked up by Red Bull driver program. In 2013, she gave her driver debut in rallying in her native Italy. Three years ago, she drove an Opel Adam as an all-female course car in the Schneebergland Rallye in Austria with Ilka Minor as her co-driver.

  • The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500
    The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Robert W. White Department of Sociology and Andrew J. Baker Department of Geography School of Liberal Arts IUPUI We thank Terri Talbert-Hatch and Pete Hylton for their comments and support of Motorsports Studies. Please direct correspondence to Robert White ([email protected]), Professor of Sociology and Director of Motorsports Studies, or Andrew Baker ([email protected]), Lecturer, Department of Geography, School of Liberal Arts, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 425 University Boulevard, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46202. 1 The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Abstract Over the course of its lengthy history, the popularity of open-wheeled automobile racing in the United States has waxed and waned. This is especially evident in recent years. The 1996 “split” between the Indy Racing League (IRL; later, the IndyCar Series) and Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART; later the Champ Car World Series) severely hurt the sport. Following the split there was a well-documented decline in fan interest from which the sport has not recovered. Less understood, however, is that under the Indy Racing League the Indianapolis 500, the premier event in open-wheeled racing in the United States, became more competitive. Ironically, while fan interest decreased in the Indy Racing League era, the quality of racing increased. The increased competition associated with the Indy Racing League is a historically significant development that bodes well for the future of the sport.
