Xtreme Racing News

Well this is fun, way too fun. So it was announced on Monday that Aston Martin is indeed coming to Formula One in 2018 as Red Bull's new title sponsor, so if you thought Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 is a mouthful, try Aston Martin Red Bull Racing F1 or Red Bull Aston Martin Racing F1. Now this means that Aston Martin MAY try and build engines for them, as Red Bull wants out of Renault after next season and the junior team, Red Bull Toro Rosso, is going to Honda next season. But it ...

Breaking news out of Red Bull Racing this afternoon, Daniil Kvyat has been removed his Toro Rosso ride effective today by the Senior team, Pierre Gasly is set to take over the ride for the remainder of the season as Kvyat "didn't show his true potential" according to Red Bull. As everyone knows, Kvyat was called up last season to Red Bull but after various wrecks, they demoted him back to Toro Rosso for Dutch driver Max Verstappen, Kvyat has had various run-ins with teamma...

The close to Fonda Speedway's 2017 season was quite an eventful one. The action started Friday night with Kyle Smith taking the CRSA event, Bobby Varin taking his 2nd straight KoD win in the Modifieds with Rocky Warner winning in the Sportsmans and Gus Hollner in the Pro Stocks.

Saturday? Well this could take awhile, the action started at 7 for the Super DirtCar Series, ESS/URC/PST 360's, Pro Stocks and Street Stocks. Stewart Friesen was running doub...

It's what McLaren fans have been waiting for, and it's over, McLaren F1 and Honda have officially split up just 3 years into a decade agreement that was made to change and dominate Formula One. The one most affected is Fernando Alonso, who has had various failures in both F1 and IndyCar when his engine failed at the Indy 500 in May while with Andretti-McLaren Autosport. The change comes at a decent time as the first Renault engine will go in this weekend at Singapore for both A...

As if Glen Ridge can't get any worse now, after numerous rain-outs, low car counts and little attendance, the Glen Ridge Motorsports Park has cancelled yet again for tonight as they move onto a new era. Wednesday night a meeting was held and Pete Demetraszek has decided that he will leave the track, focus on Fonda and will leave his old job for car owner Mike Parillo. Parillo, who owns Tim Hartman Jr's Sportsman car for Friday nights at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway, will change...

I feel like Lebanon Valley Speedway is always in the news for the wrong reasons, 2 years ago on the Eve Of Destruction night, one driver passed away after crashing his motorhome in a demolition derby, last night the track was in the news yet again, this time for one driver being arrested. It was a good night gone wrong, Kenny Tremont turned it around in the Small-Blocks to win his first of the year and Rob Pitcher won his first race in 5 years, winning the JC Flach Memorial rac...

Well, we're going to try this again... after every track rained out last weekend (or in Lebanon Valley's words, lights out... literally), we're going to try again. With rain already in the forecast Airborne and Devils Bowl have cancelled tomorrow's show, but we're all good today in Malta and ready to get back in action. Tonight's events features the annual "Hoosier Mama" night, Mia and Marcy Mangino will be around all night giving away flowers. Tonight's show is a regular event...

As I'm sure everyone knows by now, either via Hendrick Motorsports or any sports page in general, Hendrick did confirm this morning on Twitter that Dale Earnhardt Jr will be retiring after this season for the Cup Series, this will not affect JRM, his Xfinity team, in any way. He will still be at the shop and some tracks with the team, whoever it may be, and his sister Kelley will still run it. This year Elliott Sadler, Michael Annett, Justin Allgaier and William Byron are on th...

Apparently it was worth the wait. Last Saturday rain came through the capital region and forced Fonda to postpone the annual Ice Jam for the Modifieds until this weekend and it didn't disappoint. Due to rain outs at Orange County and Canandaigua, 4 time track champion Stewart Friesen, Billy Decker and Tim Fuller all came up real quick to try and get a $4,000 pay day. Bobby Varin and Decke ed the field to the green after original polesitter Mike Maresca had an electrical problem...
