I ran on Saturday, and I was frustrated with my results. I started to get mad at myself and mentally beat myself up. I caught myself, though, and stopped myself in the process. I had to remind myself that before the pandemic, I was not a runner. I have come a long way over the …

Spencer Pigot will go down in history for having the most severe crash at the Indy 500 in 2020 and as the driver who tested out the new Aeroscreen required for all Indy cars. The Aeroscreen’s job is to protect the driver’s head and upper torso area in an open-cockpit race car. If you missed …

For many, the pinnacle of the Summer is watching IRL cars fly around a track at nearly 240mph at the Indianapolis Speedway.
