2012 Racing Season: NASCAR, Indy, F1, and more

It’s honestly wild to me how Audi and Mercedes have been dominating the series for years, then BMW just rolls up in their very first season and completely tears the field apart—mad respect, seriously.

I mean, at first, I was totally leaning toward putting my money on Audi because, let's be real, I didn't think BMW would even have anything competitive to bring to the table. But I ended up taking a gamble on BMW instead, and man, did it pay off... they swept everything—driver, team, constructor titles, all three went to BMW.

I gotta hand it to them, though. They earned it. 😉

Man, that NASCAR race in Phoenix last night was wild—straight up chaos, even some actual fighting broke out. And then that wreck in the final lap...

The final NASCAR race kicks off this Sunday at 9:20 PM. Right now, Keselowski is sitting pretty at the top of the standings—holding a 20-point lead over Jimmie Johnson.
Quick look at the title contenders

Jimmie Johnson



Car/Team: #48 (Hendrick Motorsports)
Age: 37
Debut: 2001
Wins: 60
Championships: 5

Brad Keselowski



Car/Team: #2 (Penske Racing)
Age: 28
Debut: 2008
Wins: 9
Championships: none

I caught a glimpse of a Camaro today—just like the one in the signature—and honestly, I’m taking it as a sign. It feels like a clear omen that JJ is going to take the win this time.

Looks like Keselowski is holding the lead over 😉
...

Keselowski is the champion. Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WooooooooooooHooooooooooooooooo

Haha, if they can't find their footing in IndyCar, they might as well try their luck over in NASCAR—you just can't beat the Captain when he's on a roll.

This is his first big NASCAR win—and man, this guy's been battling in the circuit since the 70s...

Wait, doesn't it say right above that Keselowski is only 28? 🙂

I'm talking about the legend himself, Roger Penske...

If I’m remembering correctly, this was Dodge’s grand farewell to NASCAR, and honestly? In my book, it’s easily the most beautiful car they ever put on the track.

Look, I’m telling you—it's being pulled back. And honestly? How can you even claim one car is the "best" when everyone is just following the exact same design trends... 🙂

Danica Patrick and Paul Hospenthal are calling it quits after seven years of marriage

Danica took to her Facebook page on Tuesday to share the news about the split.

"It’s with a heavy heart that I’m letting my fans know that Paul and I have decided to amicably end our marriage after seven years," she shared. "This isn't easy for either of us—it was a mutual decision. He's been such an important part of my life and a great friend, and he always will be..."

Paul works as a physical therapist—they actually met while he was helping her recover from an injury. They tied the knot back in 2005, with Paul being 17 years older than Danica.

This comes right as Danica wraps up her very first full season in NASCAR, following her move over from IndyCar.

Danica has officially hit the market!😉

Check out this fascinating little clip I stumbled upon: it's a showdown between INDYCAR and NASCAR.

What I was actually getting at was this—think about the Dodge Challenger for the (canceled) 2013 model year:

Interesting clip... I know IndyCar is fast, but NASCAR definitely pulls more crowds 😉 Just look at the history—Danica moved over from IndyCar to NASCAR, then Montoya jumped from F1 to NASCAR, Sam Hornish Jr. made the switch to the Nationwide Series, and Tony Stewart came over from IndyCar to NASCAR too...

😢😢😢 I’m honestly just sitting here wondering why... seriously, I’ve been spiraling on this one for a while now and I can't quite wrap my head around it.

I’ve officially stopped watching NASCAR—it’s just getting too boring for me. Personally, I think NASCAR is way better... and the same goes for WTCC.
