for auto racing fans
It's not new by any means at this point but Truth in 24 has got to be near the top of the list of racing movies. I just noticed it on my DVR and watched it for the first time in a year or so.
Basically a documentary of the 2008 Audi campaign for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. I'm a big Le Mans fan so naturally I think it's the greatest thing ever but no matter what kind of racing you like it's hard not to enjoy it.

Danika signed up for NASCAR today, riding in Jr's car.

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

In total, Patrick again ran more than 100 laps for the day, with less than 20 coming in the car Eury Jr. on Saturday called his backup. The primary car covered more than 90 laps, and logged Patrick's best lap of the weekend, 49.443 seconds, an average speed of 182.028 mph, early Sunday afternoon in the draft.
Eury Jr. and his team put a spin on things Sunday morning when Patrick switched her primary allegiance to the car that had been the designated backup for two days. But Eury achieved his goal of finding more single-car speed.
On her 16th lap of Sunday morning in the primered Chevrolet numbered "88A," Patrick hit 49.934 seconds, her best single-car run of the weekend at an average speed of 180.238 mph. On her 22nd and final morning lap in her fully-painted No. 88, its best was in 50.224/179.197.
Her fast lap and the final of the morning in the backup car, which at the time was eighth on the time sheet and once again second-best of the eight women who ran Sunday morning -- as usual behind Alli Owens (49.559/181.602) -- would have been 12th-best in the 2009 race lineup.
Not bad, I guess the phone books do help, plus double cylinder power steering.
