Welcome to a cloudy and cool Road America. It is currently 65-degrees, but with a good breeze and no sun – it’s a little on the chilly side. But considering it was 96-degrees last weekend in Nashville, it’s a welcomed change.

As most of you are reading this, we are probably in the Milwaukee airport getting our rental car for the weekend.

In the month of June, there have been a couple of incidents take place that have been glossed over with humor but have a serious undertone.

In less than a week, the Verizon IndyCar Series will go from my least favorite track on the schedule to one of my favorites. The DXC Technology 600 at Texas Motor Speedway has a chance to be edge of your seat excitement tomorrow night, but there is also the potential that it could be a parade.
