Now that the dust has settled after the Grand Prix of Miami at Homestead-Miami Speedway, we’ve had the chance to review the race back at the Racers Edge shop. If you caught the race on SPEED, you’ll no doubt recall the fire that took our Idemitsu Mazda RX-8 out of a strong run during our second stop about an hour from the end of the Rolex GT race.

As a driver, it’s impossible to go into a race weekend without envisioning everything going smoothly.
As you pack your driving suit and helmet, you review the schedule in your head and think about how you are going to tackle each session . . . whether it be to sort out the chassis of the car, or up your personal game by practicing pit stops and driver changes. And maybe because, as a driver, you crave being behind the wheel so much that you just don’t want to...

Bryce Miller pilots the No. 48 Porsche GT3 in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16. In his blog, he recaps the race weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

This is an exciting time in my life. Ten years ago I was pursuing my dream in the automotive industry as a mechanical engineer working on safety equipment. Five years ago I was pursuing my entrepreneurial dream as a successful magazine publisher. Now I’m pursuing the dream of every boy who ever laid his hands on a Hotwheels car – I drive racecars for a living.

It didn’t have to.

It’s rare for the media center at a race track to erupt in real, heartfelt applause, but it happened at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday.
There has been applause here in the past, but only the kind heard in the 1960s during The Masters at Augusta National in Georgia – you know, a polite golf clap.
With a little less than three hours to go in the 2010 Rolex 24 At Daytona, professional racing said goodbye to Hurley Haywood.
With the No. 59 Brumos...
