The Young Racers Club Is Your Chance To Be Recognized As One Of The Up-And-Coming Stars In Racing – ENTRY IS FREE
In an effort to promote and encourage young people to enter and stay in our sport, Circle Track and Stock Car Racing magazines feel it is critical to bring attention to the younger participants in auto racing and to give them the opportunity to be recognized in a national spotlight.
To do this, the Young Racers Club (YRC) was established starting in the June 2005 issues of both Circle Track and Stock Car Racingmagazines and Web sites. This club is open to any racing participant (driver, crew,etc.) from the ages of 16-23. Entry is FREE and each month a winner is selected at random and will have their picture published in the magazines and online along with a picture of the car they are involved with and a short bio of their racing participation and future plans. They will also receive a $250 gift certificate from the Sponsor of the Month.
Click here for the Young Racers Club entry form and either mail it to Young Racers Club, 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619 or submit via e-mail at yrc@primedia.com . Please include a picture of the car and a picture of yourself when sending the entry form. Pictures cannot be returned. See the sidebar below for the complete rules.

If the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season can be compared to a cup of coffee ? sometimes warming, sometimes energizing and sometimes stomach-acid inducing ? then Champion?s Week in Las Vegas is more like a triple shot of espresso. The energy level got ramped up on Day 1, and never paused for air. Las Vegas in general is a NASCAR kind of town, open to anything and everything. While other places might pride themselves on having a can-do attitude, Vegas goes one better. They not only can do it; they WILL do it.
Approximately 60,000 spectators turned out in Milton Keynes today to see Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel and seven-times GP winner Mark Webber drive their Red Bull Racing cars on the city?s streets. The duo were joined by Team Principal Christian Horner, who had just returned from the FIA Awards in India with Mark and Seb, and Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey.
Tony Stewart had already shocked the racing world once this year by coming from seemingly nowhere to win the 2011 Chase for the Sprint Cup. He thought about doing it again Friday night to open the NASCAR awards ceremony in the grand ballroom at the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel. “I had an Elvis suit I was going to throw on and come out with — but NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France thought that might be too risky at an awards ceremony,” Stewart said. “Getting called to the NASCAR trailer after the season for doing something stupid didn’t seem right. I thought I’d better end this all on a good note.”
DRIVERS
Carl Edwards did virtually everything right in the Ford 400 at Homestead in pursuit of his first Sprint Cup championship. He led 119 laps, 54 more than anyone else. He led 90 of the first 112 laps without a serious challenge. He drove a mostly flawless race. He scored a second-place race finish for the third consecutive event. Yet he fell short of the big prize by a margin so narrow that it really wasn?t a margin. Edwards and Tony Stewart tied for the championship at 2,403 points, but Stewart won the title using the first tiebreaker, race wins (five to one).
DRIVERS
Australian Mark Webber won his first F1 race of the year at Interlagos in Sao Paulo, Brazil as his Red Bull teammate ran into gearbox trouble forcing him to let Webber ahead for the win. Jenson Button passed the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso late in the going to take the final podium position. Alonso was 4th with Felipe Massa and Adrian Sutil rounding out the top-6.
Overtaking – how much, not enough, or too much of the ‘wrong’ sort – has been a frequent topic throughout the 2011 season, since the advent of DRS (the Drag Reduction System) and Pirelli tires. What is beyond all doubt is that the overall levels of overtaking have climbed to record levels – there have been nearly 1500 passes so far in 18 races. However, no standard definition of an overtaking maneuver exists.
DRIVERS
It came down to the two leaders in points before the day started and it stayed that way right until the last lap. Despite an early incident that damaged the front of his car, Tony Stewart drove the wheels off his No. 14 Chevy and won the Ford 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup race on the 1.5-mile Homestead oval Sunday night over the No. 99 Ford of Carl Edwards. The two ended in a tie for points but Stewart won the tie-breaker based on having more wins.
Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Dillon and his Danny Stockman-led Bass Pro Shops team ended their second year of full-time competition in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with a 10th-place finish in the season finale race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, allowing Dillon to clinch the 2011 Driver’s Championship for Bass Pro Shops and Richard Childress Racing’s black No. 3 Chevrolet team. The accomplishment marks the second NCWTS championship for RCR.
Polesitter Brad Keselowski may have won Saturday?s Ford 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but Roush Fenway Racing had a better night, winning two Nationwide Series championships in one race. Keselowski held off a furious charge from series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on the final lap to secure his fifth victory of the season and the 17th of his career.
