NASCAR SPEED FREAKS: Ryan Blaney nets the win by latching on when it counts

Did you ever think we'd be talking about window nets after the All Star Race?

KEN'S CALL: The obvious lesson learned here, drivers shouldn't unlatch the net until they're sure the race is over. Still, it would've been one very bad way to lose a race if Ryan Blaney hadn't gotten his net back up.

DEAN'S DIRT: I'm more of a "Pass in the Grass" guy, but hey, I'll take the drama wherever I can get it!

THRU THE GEARS:Hamlin shreds NASCAR over call that could've led to 'lawsuit,' VP responds, Blaney is rich

F1 FEVER:As Formula One interest grows in U.S., a history lesson

Off with the fenders! Does Jimmie Johnson have a shot at winning the Indy 500?

KEN'S CALL: Indy is often about attrition and strategies gone awry. He has the car and apparently his oval-track experience is helping, so yep, he has a (slightly) outside shot.

DEAN'S DIRT: Put the mortgage on him! (Please don't, but I'd take a flyer).
