LONG MOVES UP
Porsche's lone American factory driver, Patrick Long, will step up full-time from the American Le Mans Series' GT2 class into one of Penske Racing's LMP2 Porsche RS Spyder prototypes in 2008. Long joined Porsche and Penske LMP2 teammates Timo Bernhard and Romain Dumas for the LMP2-class win and overall runner-up finish at Petit Le Mans in October.
Long has nine ALMS wins in 34 starts and won at least one race in each of the last three seasons. He won the 2005 GT2 championship with Jorg Bergmeister at Petersen Motorsports/White Lightning Racing. Long also boasts prestigious wins in the 12 Hours of Sebring, Petit Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Penske will announce its full 2008 lineup at a later date.
MORE INDY MOTORCYCLES
Indianapolis Motor Speedway's first MotoGP weekend (Sept. 12-14) will include a Saturday flat-track motorcycle race at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. It will be the first such race at the dirt oval since 1999; 2006 MotoGP champ Nicky Hayden finished 13th in that race as a rookie. The fairgrounds hosted 41 such races over the years, starting with Joe Leonard's 1954 win.
