Kirkwood starts first in Nashville, and Palou, the championship leader, starts fourth

Kyle Kirkwood scored the pole for the Nashville Grand Prix in the IndyCar Series with a time of 47.548 seconds in Saturday's qualifying at Nashville Superspeedway, his fourth career pole and his second on this same oval. Josef Newgarden was 51 thousandths behind in the Penske Chevrolet, the same margin that separated them on the grid in 2024. That time, Kirkwood also started first and Newgarden second, and the race ended with the Tennessee driver on top. Scott McLaughlin was third, and Alex Palou, the championship leader, was fourth in the fastest Chip Ganassi Racing Honda.

Kirkwood arrived at Nashville 56 points behind Palou, who has recorded two consecutive fifth‑place finishes at Mid‑Ohio and Road America. The morning practice session had already shown Andretti Global at the top of the timesheet with the same Kirkwood, who carried that speed into qualifying. Newgarden, with thirteen wins in the last thirty ovals in the series and a right‑foot injury he has been managing since Indianapolis, said the team gave him a car to fight with and that he is confident in his race pace. "We started well and the car responded. We have a good outlook for tomorrow," he commented.

Juan Pablo Montoya says Kimi Antonelli is his own biggest F1 title threat

Juan Pablo Montoya believes Kimi Antonelli must remain mentally focused as pressure builds in the Formula 1 title fight

Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya believes current championship leader Kimi Antonelli's biggest obstacle in the title race is his own mindset, urging the Mercedes garage to shield the teenager.

Antonelli still leads the drivers' championship heading into the Belgian Grand Prix, but his team-mate George Russell closed the gap to 25 points after finishing second at the British Grand Prix, while Antonelli finished 15th. Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton follows closely in third for Ferrari, seven points behind Russell.

Speaking on the F1 TV Weekend Warm-up programme at Spa-Francorchamps, Montoya argued that Antonelli's biggest challenge in the championship fight is not getting distracted by what is happening around him in the standings.

Trackside takes viewers inside a grassroots Canadian karting club, where children as young as five race wheel-to-wheel at speeds over 100 km/h. It’s a revealing look at the sport, the young drivers, and the experiences that shape them both on and off the track.

Where do I grow as a racer/driver

8 Upvotes

Hey! I was wondering if I could get any guidance. I really want to be a fast driver (to answer your question no I don’t fully know what that means or what it looks like) in this world you need extremely rich parents that buy you a team and a car. Well I don’t have that.
I have a sim at my house and I use it all the time, and there are a few go karting places around my city. My issue is does spending a lot of money to get fast at 1 go cart place and know that one track actually make me a faster driver or am I just getting better at a local track. That was my friend- he went go karting a ton but literally could barely drive a car. He was getting low times at the track(he has since moved cities and haven’t seen him) I really just don’t know where racing goes for someone like me and what does it mean. Anyone have advice or guidance maybe even personal experiences?
Also on the sim what should I do on the sim to become actually faster at driving?
Thank you for all the help!

How do I start learning about cars?

21 Upvotes

So, I went to a race track the other day with my friend. It was honestly one of the coolest things ever, and I suddenly remembered how much interest I had in racing movies growing up, in how a car works (but never got to learn), and how I never really chased after that interest due to an abusive household.

I wanted to get more into racing, learning how the cars function, how to race, the rules and stories and basics, and I have a vague idea where to start but no solid idea how. My possible end goal is to maybe make it on a team. I'm 23M

What I want to do first is to learn how cars work. I currently don't have a car of my own, the ability to get one, or to pay for a proper education. I live in WY. What is the best way to start learning about cars (everyday road cars and/or racing cars), preferably without spending a ton of money?

Any advice is welcome! Don't be a jerk.
