Like nearly any other native Hoosier, my love affair with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway began in my childhood. I didn’t grow up in the shadows of the speedway, in fact I grew up much closer to another huge one-day sporting event. That would be the Kentucky Derby, as I was [...]
If you’re a race nerd, the smile can’t be wiped off your face this week. It’s finally 500 week in Indy. While the on-track activity is on hiatus until Carb Day on Friday, virtually every driver and every team has some form of appearance, or you can meet said personalities [...]
The phrase ‘workout wonder’ normally applies to activities that take place in Indianapolis in February. Mike Mamula immediately comes to mind from nearly 20 years ago, and Dontari Poe is the current example. Players who were going to be pros, but saw their draft stock soar due to great workouts. [...]
“Do not mistake activity for achievement.” It’s one of my favorite quotes. It also strikes me as the most apt description of Sunday’s action at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There was plenty of activity: over 2200 laps were turned in what ended up being a great day for practice. There [...]

Pardon the middle brother of the talented Gordon family for taking a bit of the spotlight today. These days, the majority of the conversation in these parts about a Gordon in hoops is the landing spot for the last of the line, Eron. The sophomore-to-be could have a shot at [...]
Tracy Smith has been selling the gospel of Indiana baseball since the day he set foot on campus in 2006. His program’s record (and talent) have steadily increased during that time frame, even to the point of winning the Big Ten tournament and making the NCAA field for just the [...]
While there was limited on-track activity over the weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, action will pick up each day leading up to Saturday’s Pole Day, and Sunday’s Bump Day. As the forecast warms, yet also shows a persistent chance of showers beginning on Wednesday throughout the week, Monday and [...]
The word partnership was thrown around a great deal during Thursday’s press conference at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. IUPUI athletics and the State Fair board are teaming up with a five-year deal for all IUPUI men’s basketball games, and selected women’s games, to be played the renovated Fairgrounds Coliseum. It’s [...]
