The Melvins celebrate their 30th anniversary with an extensive North American tour, kicking off July 12 in Phoenix, Ariz.
“Has it really only been 30 years?” asked singer/guitar player Buzz Osborne. “Dang! Thanks to everyone who’s been there for us! It’s been an exciting trip and I probably should have listened and learned more. I apologize for anything I’ve ever done wrong and for anything I’m going to do wrong… Ha!”

The starting three mimics the podium for the first to Australian V8 Supercars’ races at Circuit of the Americas: Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes (Red Bull Racing Australia, Holden), followed by Fabian Coulthard (Lockwood Racing, Holden)….likely bad news for the rest of the field.
Each team brought 7 sets of dry-weather tires for the entire race weekend. This prompted some to go out for practice on wets and has left most team with just two sets for the final two races.

Fabian Coulthard (Lockwood Racing, Holden) will start Race 16 next to Whincup on the front row.
Whincup’s teammate Craig Lowndes had to pit before the end of the session, leaving him at P12 on the grid with a t...

The Australian V8 Supercars took to the track this morning with one puzzle to solve: how to break the Jamie Whincup, Craig Lowndes (both Red Bull Racing Australia, Holden), Fabian Coulthard (Lockwood Racing, Holden) stranglehold on the podium. Yesterday’s pole winners were Coulthard (Race 13) and Whincup (Race 14), so starting in front of either of them couldn’t hurt.
But it was not to be. Whincup took pole with a time of 1:32.1034, with Lowndes qualifying second 0.4468 sec back and...

The three fastest drivers in the four practice sessions leading up to V8 Supercars Austin 400 at Circuit of the Americas took some time to answer questions regarding their impressions of the track, the series coming to the States, and things racing-in-general. Though Will Davison (Pepsi Max Crew FPR Ford), Craig Lowndes (Red Bull Racing Australia, Holden), and Garth Tander (Holden Racing Team) might be fierce competitors on the track this footage demonstrates that there's also a good deal of cam...
