Jimmie Johnson showed his mettle by moving up and finishing fifth over the weekend at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, when 25th place would have still clinched the championship – his fourth straight. The three-time Academy Award nominee provides the narration to “TOGETHER: The Hendrick Motorsports Story,” NASCAR Media Group’s documentary-style film that chronicles the history of the eight-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship team. Last week this site took a look at great athletes, like Lance Armstrong, some that retired on top and a few that tried to comeback including some that clearly shouldn’t have. With the bombshell that seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher will return to race for Ferrari after a three year retirement, just like Michael Jordan, Larry Holmes and Johnny Unitas, is he risking tarnishing his fantastic career? Paul Newman’s joy of auto racing accelerated after his starring turn in this 1969 film. Newman is Frank Capua a rising star on the race circuit who dreams of winning the ultimate–the Indianapolis 500. The cinematic sporting life of Tobey Maguire goes from race track to race track. The actor’s next starring vehicle, literally, is about the exciting world of grand prix auto racing. If someone told you some months ago that the first 2009 F1 race would have seen a newborn team dominating, Ferrari in big trouble, and a very spectacular race you would probably end up with a big laugh. Actually, this is what happened in Melbourne last Sunday. Auto Racing From Kultur Video comes this official review of the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship season. And what a season it was. As exciting as the 2007 campaign produced, it pales in comparison to the incredible finish of last year. |
