This is the Statt Mann, Baby. It’s time to Scatt a Little Bit… I’ve been a race fan as long as I can remember. Until now. Continued headlines challenge my very belief system in the sport. Let’s not even talk about the safety issues. Racing is more dangerous than it should be. But drivers accept…
Three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti was a teammate with 2010 Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray at the Rolex 24 last weekend.
