Lloyd Read at Long Beach Grand Prix

Read won the 2011 Goodyear Formula Car Challenge Series for Almost Everything. He led the series again in 2012 until crashes caused by other drivers put him out of contention. In 2013 Read piloted the #16 Almost Everything-JDC Motorsports formula car in the Star Mazda Championship.

Video of Crash at Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières

Video below shows Lloyd Read in the Almost Everthing/JDC Motorsport Pro Formula Mazda advancing a couple positions right at the start of the race at the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières (GP3R) in Quebec, Canada. Then another driver causes a multi-car pile up. Our car gets damaged and Read is injured but manages to get back to the pits. JDC Motorsports miraculously replaces both front and rear suspensions in just 15 minutes and we're back racing. Be sure to watch the end of the video for the crash view from the rear mounted camera. It shows all the other cars piling up behind us!

Read went on to finish the race with a broken thumb. The time for repairs, while amazingly quick, ensure that Read and Almost Everything will not be on the podium this race. But Read gains valuable championship points by managing to finish in spite of the crash and injury.

Read was the Champion of the 2011 Goodyear Formula Car Challenge Series for Almost Everything. In 2012 he once again led the championship until crashes (caused by other drivers) put him out of contention. In 2013 Read pilots the #16 Almost Everything-JDC Motorsports formula car in the "Road to Indy" Star Mazda Championship.

The Star Mazda Championship is part of the "Road to Indy" that trains drivers and showcases talent to F1 and Indianapolis 500 teams. Read joins a very elite alumni that includes NASCAR and Formula One star Scott Speed, Indy drivers Marco Andretti and Graham Rahal and NASCAR/Champ Car/GTP driver Michael McDowell.

Dario Franchitti Walks Away from Indy Car Pack at St. Petersburg Gran Prix

Dario Franchitti in the Target Chip Ganassi Racing Indy Car

Dario Franchitti and the Target Chip Ganassi Racing Team simply walked away from every other Indy Car in today's St. Petersberg (Florida) Gran Prix. He led nearly the entire race and in the last few laps, ahead of 2nd place Will Power by over 10 seconds (an eternity in race time), he was able to back off and coast to victory.

The real race was between 3rd & 4th place finishers Tony Kanaan & Simona de Silvestro (yeah, a woman--cute too.)

Simona de Silvestro

Dario won last year's Indy Championship, and in 2009 and 2007. He's off to a great start this year. Did we mention he's married to Ashley Judd?
