Joey Logano
Just in case you haven’t seen this 35 times since Sunday, here is another look at the Logano/Newman exchange following the Michigan race on Sunday. This occured after the two drivers made contact early in the race. Logano’s car got loose slid up the track into Newman’s rear quarter panel, sending Newman spinning.
If anyone has video with audio from the exchange, please send The Speedzine a link. Thank you.

Leo Laporte visits the Ford Cave in Dearborn, Michigan. This was part of his comprehensive tour of Ford’s Michigan facilities for This Week in Tech Live Specials. The Ford Cave is a location where technology is used to create virtual environments for designers to work in.
Greg Biffle
Jack is back, and the Biff is riding high after a win at Pocono in July and running up front at the Glen. In Michigan, Greg Biffle has his current momentum on his side, as well as a strong car in practice and qualifying. One more point in Biffle’s favor, Michigan is a track where Roush-Fenway Racing has dominated over the years.
Well here is something different. Spectators at the Maker Faire in Detroit, Michigan were treated to an all new racing series. It’s the Power Racing Series presented by DieHard. The catch. The power, or lack there of. This series features a field of competitive Power Wheels toy cars, with adults at their wheels. The teams basically take the shell of a Power Wheels and mount it to an electric racer chassis that is of the team’s creation. The designs are endless and perhaps the minds of these racers are bonkers. Nevertheless, this is an interesting showing.
