Vettel happy in his role at Red Bull

Sebastian Vettel said that he is very happy at Red Bull and has dismissed speculation that he may be tempted to join Ferrari in the next few years. The world champion, speaking at the launch of Red Bull's new RB7, says he remains fully committed to the team and that his focus is very much on defending the drivers' and constructors' crowns they won in 2010.

Volvo to Edit U.S. Lineup: V50 and Others Out, XC30 In (Eventually)

With Volvo’s new Chinese ownership and new CEO, the company is shifting its strategy away from selling low volumes across a large lineup of higher-profit products. Speaking with Bloomberg, Volvo’s U.S. president Doug Speck said that it makes more sense for the company to pick a few core models and sell those in greater numbers. [...] Related posts:

Mark Martin to Race in All Three NASCAR Series in 2011

Filed under: , , , , , , ,

Just when we thought Mark Martin might be winding up his long and storied career as a NASCAR driver, he's decided to jump back in with both feet in 2011 by running races in all three of NASCAR's national touring series.

In his final, lame-duck year with Hendrick Motorsports in the Sprint Cup series, Martin has decided to also run selected Nationwide series and Camping World Truck series events for Turner Motorsports.

Martin will drive the No. 32 Dollar General Chevrolet in Nationwide races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Ca., Michigan International Speedway and Kentucky Speedway, with Trent Owens serving as his crew chief, the team announced Wednesday.

Martin will also drive the No. 32 Chevy Silverado truck in NASCAR Truck series races at Michigan as well as Pocono Raceway.

"I'm excited to be running back in the Nationwide and Truck Series again," said Martin. "Everyone at Dollar General and Turner Motorsports has been great and I'm looking forward to hitting the track with them next year. Working with Turner, I get to extend my relationship with Chevrolet and continue to have Hendrick horsepower under the hood, which is really, really good."

2011 Chrysler 300 / 300C ? First Drive Review

Chrysler guts the 300 and increases the base car?s horsepower by, oh, 64 percent. Though we may rhapsodize over the beauty of our favorite cars, precious few of them could be considered art. Whistler didn?t refresh his painting of his mom four years after completing it. Nor did he completely redo it every seven years for [...] Related posts:
