Rally America – Serious Opportunity Ahead
A month ago I stated that Rally America had some serious issues with so many of last years’ champions or championship contenders not returning for 2014.

Aside from the fact HVM had an amazingly tasty lunch spread in the middle of an announcement. They also was plenty of opportunity to talk with Simona de Silvestro, and IZOD INDYCAR Series CEO Randy Bernard.
