What to know about this year’s Indy 500
This Just In

Before the 96th Indianapolis 500 race on Sunday, “Back Home Again in Indiana” will be sung, and by the end, the winning driver will drink his Victory Lane bottle of milk. But superhero-esque cars and an all-female racing team are adding a few changes to the event’s storied traditions. The Brickyard The Brickyard is the historic nickname for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was built in 1909 as an automobile testing ground to support the state’s growing auto industry, according to the event’s website. However, the track was soon used for racing purposes. Today, it remains the world’s largest seating facility, with 250,000 permanent seats. The oval itself, which covers 253 acres, can fit Churchill Downs, Yankee Stadium, the Rose Bowl, the Roman Colosseum and Vatican City, according the site. Originally constructed with crushed rock and tar, 3.2 million paving bricks were laid on top later in 1909, giving rise to the Brickyard nickname, according to

The Indianapolis 500 “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” will be a race to watch with the new DW12 chassis named after Dan Weldon (last years surprise winner and horrible Las Vegas tragedy). Clif and Glenn weighed in on Tesla dealerships, Carol Shelby’s Chili Cook-off secret, Nissan’s Delta Dart and whether flashing your lights to warn others of a speed traps ahead is legal.

Are We Running Out of Resources? [Video]
John Malcolm

Professor Steve Horwitz addresses the common belief that the world is running out of natural resources. Instead, there are economic reasons why we will never run out of many resources. In a free market system, prices signal scarcity. So as a resource becomes more scarce, it becomes more expensive, which incentivizes people to use less of it and develop new alternatives, or to find new reserves of that resource that were previously unknown or unprofitable. We have seen throughout history that the human mind’s ability to innovate, coupled with a free market economic system, is an unlimited resource that can overcome the limitations we perceive with natural resources.

Mother’s $600,000 Chevrolet campaign triggers SEC conflict of interest inquiry
Stuart Smith's Blog

These days, General Motors advertising seems more adept at making the headlines than selling metal. Yesterday, GM was forced to report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates the corporate governance of publicly-quoted companies, that it had inadvertently awarded a $600,000 ad contract to an agency where the wife of GM’s chief financial officer, Dan Ammann, is a partner. The agency in question is Mother New York, and the brief was Chevrolet’s 100th birthday anniversary (see below), which ran last autumn. Ammann’s wife, Pernilla Ammann, is both a partner and chief operating officer at Mother New York. Apparently, evidence of a conflict of interest only “popped up” last week when the governance committee of the board of directors was reviewing GM contracts. GM directors are contractually required to disclose personal ties to outside companies, which Dan Ammann signally failed to do. Now, I know what you’re going to say. How could GM

Road trip!
The Cat Herder

After a lot of thought, about six weeks ago I traded my Grand Am for a new(er) set of wheels. I went back to my automotive roots after twelve years of Hyundai and Pontiac ownership and bought a 2006 Ford Focus ZX4 SES. So far I’ve put about 2000 miles on is with daily use, but this weekend I’m planning on taking it on it’s first road trip – just a short 700 mile ride across the state and back. Should be fun.
