Indy tipping contest scores
In another lean week top scorers, two names shot ahead from the pack to challenge the leaders - @tailzer and @harleymac1. Pulling off an impressive Brit-centric Minella to gain 6 points, @tailzer took second place in the overall standings. Well done sir! @harleymac1 also made impressive gains with his 6 point Minella.
Honorable mention goes to @raydoell, just missing out on an awesome 18 point Ducati-based Minella. Hard luck Ray.
Head over to the overall standings to check out your score.

2011 WSBK Donington Race Round Up - Changing Codes Pays Off
What a strange and interesting weekend the World Superbike round at Donington has given us. That Carlos Checa should win at least one race at Donington was to be expected, but the strong results from the Yamaha camp - in both Superbikes and Supersport - was a bit of a surprise, while the complete meltdown by Max Biaggi was shocking.
To Biaggi first. The Alitalia Aprilia rider started off well, sitting on provisional pole after the first qualifying session on Friday, and joking about how it was both unusual and nice to have people talking about him on a Friday. It all went downhill from there: an on-track run-in with Marco Melandri saw a furious Biaggi stalk into the Yamaha garage, issue a couple of comedy slaps on Melandri's cheek (both meant and received as an insult), getting himself hauled in front of Race Direction and issued a fine (for the slap) and a warning (for blocking Melandri on track, a punishment Melandri also received).

Photo of the Week: Promise & Question Marks
At the MotoGP season opener in Qatar, Dani Pedrosa was the only rider who had anything for Casey Stoner. Qualifying second, two tenths behind the Australian, Pedrosa was six tenths ahead of third place qualifier, Jorge Lorenzo. Those of us who expected Stoner to find the front within a couple of laps and disappear were surprised to see Pedrosa pass Stoner with 17 laps to go. It was then the Pedrosa-Stoner show until, with 11 ...

Wimmer Revs Up for Auto Club 400
(1888PressRelease) March 26, 2011 - Scott Wimmer returns to the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA on Saturday, March 26th for the Auto Club 400 driving for Key Motorsports in the # Chevrolet Impala in the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series season. He is coming off a strong run last week at Bristol in the Scotts EZ Seed 300 where he showed flashes of what can be accomplished this season by running in the Top-15 on multiple occasions.
"I am glad to be returning back to Fontana" said Scott Wimmer. "We would like to pick up where we left off at Bristol. I have said all season we can be a consistent Top-15 team, and we've been knocking on the door a lot this season. I really want to make sure we put together a strong push for the long remaining portion of this season, Fontana would be a great place to start."
Wimmers goal going into this season was to finish in the Top-10 in the driver Points Championship, and is currently sitting in 20th position after picking up three spots this past weekend at Bristol. With the Sprint Cup regulars not receiving points this season, it is really giving a shot in the arm to the teams and drivers that run full time in the Nationwide Series, and has them all ready to take aim on the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series Championship that has been dominated by the Sprint Cup regulars the past several seasons.
Key Motorsports capped off a very consistent 2010 season by adding 20 Top-20 finishes, almost half of those Top-15's and multiple Top-10's to their credit. The team finished 21st in points the past two seasons and is determined to get over that hump into the Top-20 in Owners Points, currently sitting in 29th Owners Points position.
Scott Wimmer originally hails from Wausau, Wisconsin. He carved his mark on the short tracks in the Midwest throughout the 1990's and became recognized as the dominant force in racing throughout the Midwest. Wimmer captured the eye of top NASCAR owners after he entered the American Speed Association (ASA) and claimed victories in the first two races he competed in. Wimmer tallied two Top-5 and eight Top-10 finishes in his rookie year of the Busch Series that put him 11th in the championship standings. In the 2007 season, Wimmer (along with teammate Jeff Burton) won the NASCAR Busch Series season owner points championship for Richard Childress Racing. The duo finished 3rd in the NASCAR Nationwide Series standings in 2008, while Wimmer posted his 6th career NASCAR win. In 2009, Wimmer ran 29 races for Curtis Key Sr. and Key Motorsports with a season best finish of 7th at Memphis. He resides in North Carolina with his wife, Jody and son, Hayden.
