We’re baaaaaaack! The Motion Motorsport Report returns again this year offering you, the fans, a ‘Coles Notes’ summary of what happened in the racing world on each and every weekend. We cover all the major sanctioning bodies and list the races at many of the local tracks. And I do it as a hobby because I love all things motorsport. OH Canada!! Canada was well represented in Florida this year. In the Rolex we had the two Multimatic Mustangs plus Pfaff Racing’s new Lambo ride.

The FIA has announced Formula 1 Race Director Niels Wittich has left his role with immediate effect to “pursue new opportunities.” Translation: You are no Charlie Whiting so you’re fired. F1 has been in freefall since Charlie died 5 years ago and it will be really hard to recover!!Having said that, the FIA fired the wrong party. They should have terminated their brain-dead, incompetent, inconsistent and destructive Stewards Program. That is the weak link in the chain, not the race director.

NASCAR did not give itself a good look last week with one of the penalties they issued. Ty Majeski was fined $12,500 for skipping the presser for the four Truck Series finalists so that he could vote, back home in Wisconsin. Voting is a right and a privilege. Could he have voted by mail? Probably. The other penalties, however, were DEFINITELY justified and deserved. Those fines and penalties were to the teams of Ross Chastain, Austin Cindric and Bubba Wallace.

In this week’s Motion Motorsport Report for InsideTrackNews.com, Dave Mathers touches on NASCAR, F1, NHRA and some of the late-season Canadian racing action still taking place…It sounds like NASCAR was disappointed that the tire wear at the Bristol Cup race was much less than expected. This resulted in far fewer passes on track. Apparently, good tire wear is NOT a positive thing? Who knew? Mark Martin commented this week that they should ‘Move the number (back) to the middle of the door.

In this week’s Motion Motorsport Report for InsideTrackNews.com, Dave Mathers includes the NASCAR Canada Series finale at Autodrome Montmagny and a full slate of other racing action from the weekend.

In this week’s Motion Motorsport Report by Dave Mathers, Dave wraps up the weekend’s racing action and comments on happenings in the world of Canadian and International motorsports…We read on a regular basis about police forces urging wannabe street racers to ‘take it to the racetrack’. So, what do those same forces do when the racers take their advice? They set up ‘safety checks’ right outside the very race tracks they suggested the racers attend. What is wrong with THAT picture?
