In a way, it was good that very little notice was paid to our article on Friday, October 26, which said that INDYCAR CEO Randy Bernard had been fired by the Hulman &amp; Company Board of Directors. Having just a few facts from a reliable source, we chose to print it as a rumor with a promise we would follow up with some details and insight. But the facts we have are still rather ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-randy-bernard/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

Andretti Autosport thanks Randy Bernard for his tireless efforts during his term as CEO of INDYCAR.

      <description><![CDATA[
Was Randy Bernard the perfect CEO for INDYCAR, a dysfunctional group if ever there was one?

Likely not, but he took the reins of this flat-lining open wheel series and did his utmost to try and stop it from bleeding money, fans, teams and racetracks. Bernard’s lack of a racing history stymied him from the start; his knowledge of entertainment and business did the opposite – helped ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/adios-randy-bernard-we-hardly-knew-you/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

A confidential source outside the IndyCar Series has informed us that IZOD IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard has been fired from the series today. Details are sketchy and few, so we won’t repeat them until they can be corroborated.

When the IZOD IndyCar Series released their 2013 schedule, they added a surprise element to their three doubleheader weekends:  Standing starts!  

Now that the surprise has worn off, the time has come to digest if the idea is a good one or not. Oddly this came at a time when Formula One has seen more start crashes than in past years, some creating a quite a bit of carnage (think ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/standing-starts-in-indycar-2013-good-idea-or-not/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

If nothing else, Eddie Gossage lives the age-old adage that you enter combat only when you are in a position of strength.

The problem IndyCar has had in the last 12 years is that Gossage enters combat with open-wheel racing generally every time he has a position of strength – and unfortunately for IZOD IndyCar Series CEO Randy Bernard , this is one of those times.
