...and motorsports produced some of the most compelling tales in 2006. Roll back the clock and relive some of the best moments of the racing season through these images of the year gone by.

1. Volkswagen's Race Touareg 2 brought smiles to many faces during the Dakar Rally, on its way to a podium finish-the first for a diesel-powered vehicle in the event's history.

2. Funny Car pilot Del Worsham took an end-over-end ride at the NHRA's season finale in Pomona, but walked away with only a broken tailbone.

3. Champ Car heavyweights Alex Tagliani and Paul Tracy spiced up the San Jose race by taking a page from the book of fellow Canadian and professional wrestler Bret "The Hitman'' Hart.

1. Yes, that's a diesel. Yes, it just passed us for the 10th time. Yes, Audi won Le Mans. Again.

2. Not even the power of the Force could bring Toyota its first Formula One victory.

3. The Ice Man cometh: To Ferrari, that is, where former McLaren man Kimi Raikkonen will replace Michael Schumacher next year.
