      <description><![CDATA[As we prepare to return to Indianapolis for the 97th running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, let’s remember the turmoil in the IZOD IndyCar Series this time last year.

 

After the 2012 Long Beach race, all the Lotus teams but HVM were jumping ship to either Chevrolet or Honda. Dreyer &amp; Reinbold Racing, Bryan Herta Autosport and latecomers Dragon Racing just couldn’t deal with ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/from-lotus-to-chevy-what-happened-at-indy-for-dragon-racing/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[
I remember it like yesterday. The email came through in January of last year from Katherine Legge, telling me she’d hooked up with this fabulous new sponsor, TrueCar, but I couldn’t say a word about it until, unless the team she was joining was named. So I kept my trap shut and waited until, finally, Katherine was confirmed by Dragon Racing, Jay Penske’s outfit.

She’d be driving the ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/the-screwing-of-katherine-legge/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[
This past IZOD IndyCar Series season had plenty of good (great competition between engine manufacturers and a very racy new car), bad (Lotus' failure to be ready for prime time) and ugly (Will Power's third straight throw-away of a title). 

But the highlight for me has to be the Indianapolis 500 this year. Held under hot and sunny conditions, this seminal race was truly competitive ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/top-moments-of-2012-7-the-new-indycar-good-or-not/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

Hey, shouldn’t we be talking about racing instead of politics?

We’ll elect a president today, life will go on – eventually IMS/Hulman &amp; Co will decide who’ll be CEO of INDYCAR and the world will continue to turn on its axis.

We should be talking about the mega talented Simona de Silvestro and her grand opportunity with a very changed KV Racing Technology (KVRT). There will be ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/let-s-talk-indycar-racing-not-politics/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>
