CNBC

what happened?

Lap 44: Hamilton (5th) jumped Rosberg (6th) and Alonso leads

we need rain

Dylan, honey I thought we discussed this last night I don't watch Grand Prix.

:( but I thought you were going to watch the race with me...

Lap 55/70

I don't want Hamilton to win. He always looks like he has a big diarrhea on deck.

I'll be over for the Indy race this afternoon I'm cooking up something I know you'll enjoy, you provide the Boulevards.

Hamilton is so annoying and weak minded...

Alonso & Hamilton do not like each other at all. As CNBC pointed out there dislike for each other goes back to their McLaren days as teammates - Alonso is the master at playing mind games and Hamilton pulled some crazy things on him. Hamilton has fought with every teammate he has had during the last seven years.

Ricciardo up to 2nd

:D oh goody - a home cooked meal!

Wow...I cannot believe Ferrari (Alonso) is leading... Love that Ricciardo (Red Bull) is running second.

In F1, you are not allowed to change your power unit (see above) until next season. So, whatever you start with at the beginning of the season, is all you have.

This is Hamilton's best track.

Come on Ricciardo don't let Hamilton overtake.

Wow, what a race between the kid (Ricciardo) vs. Hamilton

Hamilton is good... sigh...

Edit: Hamilton does not handle pressure well so there is always that.

OMG...Ricciardi takes back 2nd from Hamilton! Wow!

Alonso is the best driver in F1 - Ferrari is not the best though

Edit: Ricciardi overtakes Alonso!

3 laps to go.

Yikes Ricciardo has a 4 second lead - that is huge

Edit: Rosberg running 4th behind Hamilton - Come on Rosberg overtake Hamilton!

Hamilton isn't going to finish podium.

Well, I was wrong, Hamilton tried to wreck his teammate lol.

Ricciardo wins his second Grand Prix - amazing! He is so well-liked...

Alonso 2nd

Hamilton 3rd... derp!

He is such a moron...

I missed more than half the race -CNBC will replay it later on today


Next up...The Brickyard

I'm wondering if F1 will race in Russia in a few weeks as scheduled. Should be interesting

Post race interviews...

Something happened between Rosberg and Hamilton during the race that prevented Rosberg to advance.

When asked about it, Rosberg said that he did not want to talk about it.

Rosberg is so classy.

Hamilton is a douche bottle.

Morning Dylan

Morning 3rd !!! How sweet :D

Veteran driver has 23 Sprint Cup Series wins for RFR

SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Carl Edwards will not be a part of the Roush Fenway Racing driver lineup for 2015, according to team officials.

Team co-owner Jack Roush announced the organization's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series lineup here at Indianapolis Motor Speedway today where teams are competing in the Crown Royal presents, The John Wayne Walding 400 at the Brickyard (1 p.m. ET, ESPN).

That roster will consist of veteran Greg Biffle and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., both of whom currently compete in Sprint Cup for RFR, as well as 2014 Nationwide Series regular Trevor Bayne.

"I will always be thankful for Carl's contribution and the role he played in many Roush Fenway wins and championships," team owner Jack Roush said in a statement. "We wish him well for the future. In the meantime, we are excited about continuing our quest for a championship with Carl and the No. 99 team in 2014."
Both Edwards and Biffle were in contract years, and Edwards' departure wasn't unexpected. Biffle has maintained all season long that he would like to remain at RFR, where he began his Sprint Cup career in 2002.

Edwards, 34, has competed in Sprint Cup for Roush Fenway since 2004. He has 23 wins and has finished fourth or higher in points four times, including 2011 when he and Tony Stewart finished the season with identical points totals. Stewart edged Edwards for the title on the basis of the number of wins during the season.

This season, Edwards has two wins and is sixth in the point standings entering Sunday's race.
Edwards is also a 38-time winner in NASCAR's Nationwide Series, and won that series' title in 2007 with RFR. He also has six career wins in the Camping World Truck Series.
After extensive negotiations two years ago, Edwards re-signed with Roush Fenway through 2014.

Asked often this year about the status of talks for beyond '14, both Edwards and Roush had been non-committal.

"You guys know that I don't like to talk about that stuff in the media," Edwards said earlier this year. "To me, this is business and I have made the mistake of letting that turn into a big media thing before, so I would rather not talk about that."

It is widely believed that Edwards will join Joe Gibbs Racing, which currently fields three teams with drivers Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth.

Biffle has captured two championships while driving for RFR, winning the Nationwide title in 2002 and the Truck Series crown in 2000. His best points finish in Sprint Cup came in 2005 when he finished second to Stewart. He is 16th in points heading into today's race at IMS.

"I don't have the words for what Jack Roush has meant to my career," Biffle said in the statement. "During our 16 years together, we have won multiple championships and numerous races on every level. I am as excited about what the future holds for me here as I am about what we have been able to accomplish in the past.

"Our goal remains to run up front, win races and become the sports' first triple-crown winner by having a championship in all three series. I know that we have the right ownership, the right team, the right resources and the right manufacturer to get that done here here at Roush Fenway."

Stenhouse Jr., the 2011-12 Nationwide Series champion, is 28th in points and still seeking his first Sprint Cup victory.

RFR officials announced in May that Bayne would step up to Sprint Cup following this season. Bayne, sixth in points after Saturday's ninth-place finish in the Lilly Diabetes 250, currently runs a limited Sprint Cup schedule with Wood Brothers Racing, with whom he won the 2011 Daytona 500.

"I have had the privilege of fielding entries for the world's best race car drivers in NASCAR for nearly 30 years, and feel quite fortunate to have an opportunity to do that again next year," Roush said in a statement. "We have always prided ourselves in developing talent at Roush Fenway, and our 2015 line-up is a testament to the success of our organization in that respect.

"Greg Biffle is one of the most purely talented racers I've ever seen behind the wheel of a car, and his experience combined with the raw natural abilities, enthusiasm and desire in both Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and Trevor Bayne have me very excited for the future. Although we still have a lot to accomplish this year, both John Henry and I are looking forward to going to the track in 2015 with this blend of veteran leadership and youthful potential."

Bayne's scheduled, I think, to drive the 6 car. So I guess the 99 is just going away.

And regardless of what anyone thinks of Carl Edwards, this is most definitely a step backwards for Roush. Biffle, Stenhouse and Bayne? Not real inspiring.

Hope this is the correct starting lineup...

Check out the party at the Brickyard: A concert, rides, games, swimming, roller coaster, ferris wheel, climbing rocks, shooting range, etc. LOL

Penske put JPM in the 12 car for this race. Hell, he might just destroy the field, given how strong Penske cars have been recently.

And me being an old Bobby Allison fan from way, way, back weirdly causes me to root for anyone in a #12 car to this day.

Ya''ll ready for racin'?

Second race of the day...

You missed Formula 1's race in Budapest this morning... :D

I want to puke. 20 laps in, and Logano's on a fuel run already.

@ chefsos - wonder if that will work - especially with no tires

Billionaire boy in the wall!

Edit: Menard had help

Logano in for fuel and tires.

13.2 seconds yikes

F1 - 3 seconds and under LOL

Ha! And JPM put him there...

LMAO

Juan bullying his way around the track

Okay, getting back to this- Huge track (like Pocono); I guess it's worth the risk. He didn't lose a lap, did he?

Oh wow. Green flag stops by everyone now. 19-20 laps is all they can go here?

There are so many different strategies going on – should be interesting.

Bad pit stop for Gordon.

Amazing move by Gordon - up to 4th

Bad pit stop did not affect Gordon

Just started watching.

Good lawd....there's nobody there.

That placed used to be packed.

@shakesthecat - Agreed.

NASCAR better get their act together.

Damn it Brad, you hit my boy's car - SOB

Danica's car smoking off of pit road

A quick stop in the clubhouse, but got a quick look.. Go Jeff...

What am I doing instead????? Time with my boys....

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/28/ura5e7e7.jpg

Wow...awesome, GloryDayz!

You a such a great dad.

You went golfing? :D

Gordon is on a mission...

Looks like they need to mow the fairways.

Everyone's terrified of a piece of paper getting stuck on the grille...and Hamlin's crew intentionally slapped a sticker on his. :)

#11’s crew chief strategy worked out - so much for listening to Rusty Wallace, who says it would not work.

Eat and throw your wrapper on the track...

Chugging gas is probably never a good thing


OR, to the 11's gas man: YOU HAD ONE JOB

This, pulling for Busch today.

Larson is doing an incredible job - running top ten this entire race.

Talented and consistent. Hope he wins rookie of the year.

Having them carry your clubs I see.

Please let me know the drivers you had picked today after the race.

There are plenty of good drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series.

I meant Busch, sorry got interrupted mid post. ROFL

No prob. I thought you meant Busch...

Love that photo. The only time I get to see grass is when I walk a couple of blocks to Central Park - Otherwise, it's cement all the way. Well, on my days off I go to the beach.

Wed I am going to the NY Mets minor league game in Brooklyn.

Check it out: http://newyorkmets.org/minorleaguete...ncyclones.html

My first time - looks great, no? Right off of Coney Island beach.

"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."

Caution.

What happened with Truex's car?

I was busy singing, "Take me out to the ball game"

It's a piece of junk?

LOL

thanks, chefsos

Prediction time! One of these guys who's pitting now will get up front with new tires and **** up the leaders' universe.

Poor BK racing.

Thanks, Al


Showtime! 17 to go

Everybody jockeying for position...

Caution coming up.

Who is going to lick the bricks and spill the milk all over their face?

Thanks.. :)

They were well trimmed...

There's the Kasey Kahne we all know.. he didn't even put up a fight. He's just happy with a top 10. I hope he wrecks and blows his shit up.

I wish.... But I'm thinking about the younger son's first workout program being just that, carrying MY golf bag.

Go Jeff go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gordon is on a mission!

My boy's in the mix... Please dear God don't let me jinx him

I watched him **** the restart up, knowing that this rant was coming... :)

Kasey Kahne is such a bum, he had the fastest car and because he is such a pussy he refused to fight. I hope he blows a tire and hits the wall hard.

On that restart Jeff and Kyle showed that little bitch who daddy was.

If I had to pick a winner for today's race in Indy - I would have picked Gordon or Johnson for the win.

Both drivers are amazing here.

Well, also at quite a few other tracks...Too many to list.

Gordon has it.

Need a caution.....

Gordon was perfect all day - Not even a bad pit stop or start could slow him down.

Please no caution!!!

Gordon's got it!

Wow, this is going to be a great win for Jeff.

He did it.

Kasey Kahne fans are PISSED off at Gordon, claiming he was racing him too hard and that Rick favors Gordon over Kahne.

Kiss the Bricks.

Congratulations, GloryDayz - Prestigious win! Great job by Gordon.

Hell of a burnout! Five wins at Indy!

My boy came in 2nd...

AWESOME burnout!!!!
