I’m not saying Keselowski is without blame. He’s an equally significant part of the feud with Edwards. Sure, he made contact with Carl early in Sunday’s race, but from how I saw it, the wreck was more of a true accident than the intentional hatchet job Edwards did on his rival later in the same race.

The USF1 Team have indicated that they will not be in a position to participate in the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship. Having considered the various options, the FIA confirms that it is not possible for a replacement team to be entered for the Championship at this late stage.

One team leaving Formula One will not impact the circuit, as they added some teams this year. But Toyota’s deep pockets kept the marketing churning.

The upside for me is Michael Waltrip, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Juan Montoya and Joey Logano will all start in the back half of the field. That should help prevent an early crash of the whole field.

Not only did Alonso cover 127 laps over the course of the day, but he also topped the timesheets. Clocking a best time of 1m 11.470s, he finished over six tenths of a second ahead of the BMW Sauber of fellow Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa, as this week’s three-day test drew to a close.
