Stewart gives few hints about future: #20-Tony Stewart returned to Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Wednesday to help Chevrolet unveil its new midget-car engine, an appearance that prompted another round of questions about Stewart's plans and whether they might include IndyCars. "There's a part of me that thinks running at Indy and in IndyCar is a chapter of my life that is closed," he said. "Then there is the emotional part of me that says, 'Never say never.' I don't know if I'll ever get in an IndyCar again, but if that happens, it's going to be a long way down the road because I have a lot of commitments on the NASCAR side." Stewart has been running with Joe Gibbs Racing since 1998, and his current contract doesn't expire until the end of next season. Yet he's already fielding offers from other teams and said last month he had discussed terminating the deal early, depending on which offer he accepts. Some of those offers also include ownership of a team. Many believe Stewart, who turns 37 on May 20, is looking to move in part because he has long ties to Chevrolet, one of the Cup series' manufacturers. JGR is now using Toyotas, and Stewart remains winless this season after winning 32 times in his first nine years on the Cup circuit. While Stewart acknowledged he considered Chevy's deal with his own open-wheel teams a personal endorsement, he brushed off the suggestion that he was upset with driving a Toyota. "It wasn't weird when we started the program," he said. "It wasn't weird then, and it's not weird now. When we started our (open-wheel) program, Mopar provided us with engines and both sides understood." As so often happens when the Indiana native visits the speedway, however, the discussion quickly turned to one of his favorite subjects -- the Indy 500 -- and whether he would still like to race here. The answer: Only if it's a full-time gig in the IRL. "If I was going to come to Indianapolis again, I don't want to come and show up for the month of May," he said. "If I am going to do it, I need to start at Homestead. I need to run all of the races leading up to the month of May to really feel like I am being fair to the team and being fair to myself. ... As long as I'm driving a stock car, that basically takes that part of it out of the equation."(Associated Press/ESPN)

Target Ganassi's Dan Weldon WINS

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - The 2007 season went south for Dan Wheldon after he recorded two victories and a runner-up spot in three of the initial four IndyCar Series races -- including a commanding victory at Kansas Speedway.

A similar strong start - including a 2.1778-second victory over Tony Kanaan in the Road Runner Turbo Indy 300 - ended a year-long victory drought and came at the right time. Wheldon again will be an early favorite for the Indianapolis 500.

Patrick WINS on FUEL MILEAGE and

Shear Determination

MOTEGI, Japan - Since exploding into the consciousness of an international audience at the 2005 Indianapolis 500, Danica Patrick has answered incessant questions of when she would win an IndyCar Series race.

Next question, please.

Patrick, competing in her 50th IndyCar Series race, became the first female to win a major auto racing event on a closed-course circuit. The designation is because Jutta Kleinschmidt of Germany won the Paris to Dakar Rally in 2001. 

● The setting: The Indy Japan 300 on the Twin Ring Motegi oval.
● The scenario: Moving from ninth place on Lap 189, seeing leaders pit for a splash of fuel a few laps later and overtaking Helio Castroneves on Lap 198.
● The post-race scene: The sun broke through for the first time all weekend as Patrick made her way through a sea of well-wishers to the victory stage. Today, the diminutive Patrick stood 7 feet tall.

"Finally," Patrick said through tears before a victory lap to compose her thoughts. "This is a long time coming. It was a fuel strategy race, but my team called it perfectly for me. I know I was on the same strategy as Helio, and when I passed him for the lead I couldn't believe it. This is fabulous."

•  Danica Patrick: Going final 57 laps on a set of Firehawks.

•  Ryan Hunter-Reay: Putting 61 laps on his final set.

•  Scott Dixon: Leading a field-high 101 laps.

Graham WINS St Petersburg!!!!

"Indy is at the top of the list, but at this point to win a race would be awesome."
-- Graham Rahal

Little did Rahal know that a month after making the statement he would be the center of attention on the Victory Lane podium and the auto racing world.

The sophomore Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing driver became the youngest winner in major open-wheel racing (19 years, 93 days) by holding off two-time defending race winner Helio Castroneves in the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. It was an historic triumph in an entertaining race on the challenging 1.8-mile, 14-turn temporary street circuit - made more so by a shower during the national anthem.

Hildebrand wins first race, takes points lead

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - J.R. Hildebrand couldn't break away from the pack over the final laps in the Kansas Lottery 100 at Kansas Speedway. But as long as he was in control, the Firestone Indy Lights rookie didn't have to.

Hildebrand, starting fourth in the No. 25 Allied Building Products car, held off the No. 55 Guthrie Racing car of Robbie Pecorari on a Lap 59 restart and at the line eight laps later for his first Firestone Indy Lights victory and the first for RLR/Andersen Racing. The difference was 0.0553 of a second - the eighth-closest in Firestone Indy Lights history in the series' first race at the 1.52-mile oval since 2004. Arie Luyendyk was third (0.2102 of a second back) and Dillon Battistini fourth (0.3456 of a second behind).

ANTINUCCI WINS RACE TWO IN ST. PETE FOR SAM SCHMIDT; CONTROVERSY ENSUES

Ana Beatriz was aiming to become the first female race winner in Indy Racing League history – and through 32 laps on the temporary 1.8-mile, 14-turn street circuit it appeared she might accomplish the feat. But there were 40 laps in the second race of the doubleheader weekend.

Entering the sweeping Turn 1, Richard Antinucci attempted to pass the race leader. But the No. 7 Lucas Oil/Sam Schmidt Motorsports car bounced off the inside curbing, making contact with the right-rear tire of Beatriz's No. 20 Healthy Choice/Sam Schmidt Motorsports car. It caused her car to spin, and as she attempted to re-position it to rejoin the race it made contact with the No. 43 SWE Racing car driven by Pablo Donoso.

Risk vs. reward

The All-Star Race is unlike any other race, so it's only fitting that preparation for the star-studded event is anything but standard and routine.

With $1 million and no points on the line, some teams take the opportunity to be a bit more aggressive or unconventional with their setups.

"We've seen teams try different, off-the-wall things," said Larry McReynolds, former crew chief and SPEED analyst. "In the mid to late '90s, Hendrick and the 24 team broke out that T-Rex chassis at the All-Star Race, which NASCAR said to never bring back again. This is a good opportunity to step outside the box with an engine combination, chassis combination or a different setup to see if it's a little faster or better than what you'd normally run." More

Toyota Kyle Bush Wins Again

Dale Jr. Fans... plant lips just above the drivers door window.

Toyota Joe Gibbs driver Kyle Busch

DARLINGTON, S.C. -- The right side of the No. 18 car was so scraped up that the paint scheme was barely recognizable, but at this point in the evening nobody seemed to mind. They held up three fingers signifying their third Sprint Cup victory of the season, sprayed champagne and Gatorade, and celebrated around a tall crystal trophy shaped like a palmetto tree. As the Victory Lane interview was broadcast over the public address system, a chorus of boos rained down from the grandstands at Darlington Raceway.

"These guys love it. They love the noise that the fans make," Kyle Busch said in retort. "So keep it up, everybody."
