Sage Karam Indycar 2014?


This weekend there was an Indycar article in our local paper, the Morning Call.

Around where we live here near Nazareth PA you can guess that our family goes back to the 60's as Andretti fans.  Mario, Michael and now Marco make for at least some Indycar coverage in our local paper.

But lately there's another driver making more and more of an appearance in The Morning Call sports pages.  

 Sage Karam.



We've followed him since he drove for Michael Andretti in the Star Mazda Series and watched him race at Indy and Pocono this year on his way to winning the Indy Lights Championship.

We sure hope Sage had a great Christmas and gets a ride in Indycar for 2014!
 
We'd love to see another local driver racing in the Indy 500!!!

Indycar Offseason News #2

 
Indycar Offseason #2!!!
 
Lets begin.
 
*  2013 Indy 500 winner Tony Kannan's image was unveiled on the Borg Warner trophy on Dec. 2nd.

 *  Paul Page, chief radio announcer for IMS Radio Network from 1977 to'87, will return to that position in 2014.  Our mom is excited about that.
 
*  Josef Newgarden and Graham Rahal had a Tricycle Showdown on the Pat McCarthy show.   (It starts at the 6 minute point in the video.)  Very funny....and you can probably guess we've watched it many times since it has Josef in it.
 
*  The 2014 Indycar tv schedule was released and the great news is that their will be more Month of May of network tv in 2014!

*  Sebring Raceway in Florida has been busy the past few weeks with teams testing for 2014.  Ganassi racing was there this week with Alex Tagliani filling in in the #10 car.  Prior to Thanksgiving Penske Racing tested there including their new driver Juan Pablo Montoya.   Andretti Autosport, Dale Coyne Racing and RLL drivers have also tested there in recent weeks.
And to keep Alexandra happy we need to mention that Josef will be testing there on Dec. 18th and 19th with Sarah Fisher Hartman racing.
