Pit Strategy Takes Action Express to Lightning-Delayed WeatherTech 240 Victory
July 2, 2021
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – An opportune pit stop for Action Express Racing saw Felipe Nasr get into the Whelen-sponsored Cadillac in place of Pipo Derani just before a full-course caution flew.

The prestigious international sports car race began in 1962 as the three-hour Daytona Continental before Bill France Sr. expanded it four years later into a twice-around-the-clock endurance event. France wanted the top road racers in the world at his Florida facility and created the stage for them to come.

Juan Pablo Montoya will take a shot at winning his third Indy 500 next year.
Juan Pablo Montoya says there is nothing complicated about his approach to winning the Indianapolis 500, a feat he has accomplished twice during a versatile globetrotting career.
“You got to have a good car and you got to drive the hell out of it,” Montoya said at Indianapolis Motor Speedway after scoring his second Indy 500 victory in May 2015. ”If you drive better and do a better job than anybody else, you’re going to freaking win it. If you don’t, you don’t.
