The official 2015 ASN Driver Rankings have been updated to reflect the 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix – which we are calling the Hungry Grand Prix [for the obvious reason that we were hungry for some actual competitive racing].

Force India driver Sergio Perez had a rear suspension failure which sent him careening into a wall during a practice session for this weekend’s 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix, and upon sliding out from the wall, one of his tires snagged the Astroturf trim and sent his car on a rollover – but Perez emerged unharmed […]
Yesterday was National Hot Dog Day and what better way to celebrate than with an r/c version of the iconic Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and some nonsensical rock band theatrics? Go ‘Merica! The r/c version of the Wienermobile will be touring the good ‘ol US of A throughout the remainder of the year…

Dodge decided to go with “The Hoff” – 63-year-old former “Baywatch” 1990s television series star, David Hasselhoff – as the focal point of their new advertising campaign for their vehicles and the results were, well, painfully unfunny and short on beach babes [which, if you’re gonna go with a “Baywatch” concept, seems a necessary element].

In a move that was completely expected and predictably underwhelming, ESPN has dropped its coverage of the dated National Hot Rod Association [NHRA] race series.
