Hunter-Reay to test with HVM Racing

HVM Racing will not participate in this weekend's Open Test at Barber Motorsports Park so it can better accommodate the team's preparation of a second car to test driver Ryan Hunter-Reay before the season opener April 5 in St. Petersburg, Fla.

IRL switching to versus is the best thing they could have done. so far they did a show on 10 closest finishes, 10 best passes... haven't seen but on my DVR.

Versus FTW, one of the few times I have ever seen IndyCar qualifying televised. And 3 hours of coverage for the race tomorrow

And my favorite driver is back!

Versus is the shit! And the new girl pit reporter is actually smart, and doesn't stumble every other word.

Yeah, she seems to actually know that there's other forms of racing besides nascrap. She does seem smart. The pre-race was good too (cool seeing the parade of S2ks behind them). Love the in-car cameras that can pan left and right.

Nice that they put the race in a smaller window during the commercials so at least you can keep up with what's going on. Somebody's thinking.
