FORMULA ONE IN CANADA

SEBASTIAN VETTEL

Canadians love their racing and it showed today with a standing room only crowd. It seems very strange that Red Bull had never won in Canada. Very strange, indeed! They can put that by the wayside as Sebastian Vettel  left the pole position and never looked back. Winning his 29th race and Red Bull's first in Canada. Second place was hotly contested by Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso with Alonso taking second and leaving third place to Hamilton. Vettel was so far ahead that he lapped everyone except the top five places. We don't see that too much on the new tracks, but Canada has been around for a long time.

INDYCAR IN TEXAS

HELIO CASTRONEVES

So, what else do you do on a hot Texas night....of course you go to the 'Firestone 550.' A tight oval track of only 1.5 miles for 228 times. The race wasn't as tight at the end like most IndyCar races, but it still had the sell-out crowd on their feet. Helio Castroneves won his 28th race and charged up as usual. Ryan Hunter-Reay, last year's champion, came in second. Tony Kanaan, this year's Indy 500 winner came in a distant third.

Takuma Sato was unable to qualify so he had to start in 21st and ended up in 11th.
