Tuesday, 09 April 2019 09:51

SUZUKA, Japan – Two-time Formula One champion Mika Häkkinen is making a rare return to racing in August to compete in the Suzuka 10 Hour endurance race.

Häkkinen, who won back-to-back Formula One titles in 1998-99, will co-drive a customer racing McLaren 720S GT3 in the 10-hour endurance event at the Suzuka Int’l Circuit. He’ll share driving duties with two-time Super Formula champion Hiroaki Ishiura and Japanese Formula 3 racer Katsuaki Kubota.

The trio will drive the new 720S GT3 during the fourth round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli on Aug. 23-25. Further information on the entry, including details of the customer team that will be running the car, will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Häkkinen spent 11 years competing in Formula One, nearly all of it driving for McLaren. He earned 20 victories during his career, including a victory in the Monaco Grand Prix in 1998.

After retiring from Formula One competition at the end of the 2001 season, Häkkinen competed in rally events before returning to racing full-time in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) series for three seasons from 2005 to 2007.

Since then he has raced sparingly, occasionally entering sports car or rally races.

Five Weedsport Dates For DIRTcar Sportsman

Published in Racing
Tuesday, 09 April 2019 10:46

WEEDSPORT, N.Y. – The DIRTcar Sportsman division will visit Weedsport Speedway on five different occasions this year, including two DIRTcar Sportsman Series tour stops on July 2 and Oct. 9.

All Sportsman events at Weedsport will once again pay a minimum of $1,000 to win with $100 to start.

A vital component of the Weedsport Speedway schedule for several years, the DIRTcar Sportsman will make their first stop on Monday, May 27 alongside the Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modifieds and the CRSA Sprints as part of Heroes Remembered Weekend.

The May 27 main event will serve as a tune-up for the sixth annual Sportsman Classic 75 presented by Stirling Lubricants and Champion Racing Oil on Tuesday, July 2.  The annual DIRTcar Sportsman Series stop will see a lucrative $2,500 paycheck handed out to the winner of this crown jewel Sportsman event.

The Sportsman will again be paired with the Super DIRTcar Series big-block modifieds on Hall of Fame Weekend on Saturday, July 28 presented by Coca-Cola of Northern New England.

The Sunday, Aug. 11 ESS Legends Reunion powered by Pit Stop Convenience Stores will feature the winged Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints along with the DIRTcar Sportsman’s fourth main event of the year.

The racing calendar will draw to a close on Wednesday, Oct. 9 for the Super DIRT Week Kick-Off Party as the DIRTcar Sportsman Series returns to compete on the same card as the DIRTcar 358-Modified Series.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – It’s unlikely that any Masters Club participant will leave Augusta National hungry tonight.

As the reigning Masters champion, Patrick Reed gets the honor of setting the menu for Tuesday night's guest list, an exclusive group that includes all the past tournament champions as well as Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley. No spouses, friends, agents or other guests can get inside the door.

Reed joked last month at The Players that he planned to “fatten those boys up a little” with his menu selections, which he said he's had in mind since age 13. His dinner choices back up those claims, with Reed opting for a bone-in cowboy ribeye for the main course along with two salad options and a collection of creamy side dishes:

Reed explained Tuesday that he has lost 10 to 12 pounds since slipping into the green jacket last year, and he joked that part of it may have been in preparation for tonight’s loaded menu as he sits at the head of golf’s most sought-after table for the first time.

“I’ve lost a little, but the reason why I lost a little is because tonight, I knew what kind of menu I was putting out there,” Reed said. “So I need to leave a little room to be able to fit back into (the jacket).”

AUGUSTA, Ga. – One of the game’s most passionate players when it comes to fitness hasn’t been in the gym in three weeks. Although this normally wouldn’t be news, in Brooks Koepka’s case it has drawn attention.

Koepka, who is playing the Masters for the first time since winning three of the last seven majors, revealed on Tuesday that he’s been in recovery mode since The Players.

“We did a bunch of tests,” he said. “This will be more of a relaxing week, recovery week for me. Taking three weeks off has been nice. Finally feel like I've got some energy back. I need to take care of myself if I want to actually play this game for a long time.”

Koepka went on to explain that his energy issues were the result of an intense diet that limited him to 1,800 calories a day but he added that his health has improved in recent weeks and that he doesn’t expect any lingering issues.

“I wanted to do it and try to lose some weight, and maybe went about it a little too aggressively for just a long period of time and the intensity of what I was doing,” he said.

Koepka said at The Players that he’d lost 24 pounds since November and added that he was about 10 to 12 yards shorter off the tee because of the weight loss. He didn’t reveal why he lost the weight, telling reporters, “you’ll see.”

AUGUSTA, Ga. – It was a trip of a lifetime for Brooks Koepka when his father brought him to Augusta National as a youngster to attend the Masters.

Koepka remembers walking down the first fairway and getting blown away by the elevation changes and being able to stand so close to players. And the autographs, he collected so many autographs. Except one.

Koepka said he was standing by the old Tournament practice area and asked Phil Mickelson for an autograph.

“Probably about the only kid Phil's ever turned down,” Koepka said with a smile on Tuesday at Augusta National.

Koepka said he mentioned the moment to Mickelson during a practice round in 2014 and that Lefty didn’t remember the incident.

“I mean, I can't believe he doesn't remember the first time he ever said no to a kid, signing an autograph,” he said with a laugh. “I was like, ‘Listen, man, you stiffed me, and I really didn't like you for a long time.’ He was typical Phil, right back at me; I shouldn't have been there. We can laugh about it now. I've got his autograph now.”

Koepka said he collected about 50 autographs during that trip, just not Mickelson’s or Tiger Woods.

“Everybody else, I pretty much got,” he said. “All the players, when we come here, they are all so nice. As a player now, you want to sign for a little kid. It's hard to say no to a little kid.”

Woods grouped with Rahm, Li in bid for fifth green jacket

Tuesday, 09 April 2019 05:39

AUGUSTA, Ga. – The speculation is nearly over, and the opening round is on the horizon. Here’s a look at some of the marquee groupings for the first two rounds of the 83rd Masters, where Tiger Woods will begin his pursuit of a fifth green jacket alongside a pair of international players (all times ET):

10:31 a.m. Thursday, 1:16 p.m. Friday: Patrick Reed, Webb Simpson, Viktor Hovland (a)

This traditional grouping brings together the defending champ and reigning U.S. Amateur champion, as Reed returns to Augusta National after edging out Rickie Fowler a year ago for his first major title. Simpson is making his eighth straight Masters start, having notched a career-best T-20 finish last year, while Hovland makes his Masters debut after lifting the Havemeyer Trophy last summer at Pebble Beach.

11:04 a.m. Thursday, 1:49 p.m. Friday: Tiger Woods, Jon Rahm, Haotong Li

Woods is making his 22nd career Masters appearance, having last won in 2005 and having tied for 32nd here a year ago. He’ll play the first two rounds alongside Rahm, who finished alone in fourth place last year for his best career finish in a major, and Li, who finished third at The Open in 2017 and made the cut last year in his Masters debut.

11:15 a.m. Thursday, 2 p.m. Friday: Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Cameron Smith

This grouping includes two men who nearly slipped into the green jacket a year ago, as McIlroy faltered in the final pairing alongside Reed while Fowler’s late rally came up one shot short. They’ll both look to improve this time around while joined for the first two days by Smith, an Australian who tied for fifth last year after a final-round 66.

1:38 p.m. Thursday, 10:42 a.m. Friday: Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Jason Day

Johnson saw his run at world No. 1 end this week, as he was passed by Justin Rose in the rankings without either player hitting a shot. He’s in search of his first Masters title in his ninth career start, having finished inside the top 10 in each of his last three appearances. DeChambeau took low amateur honors as the reigning U.S. Amateur champ in 2016, while Day tied for second in 2011 and finished third two years later after holding the lead with three holes to play.

1:49 p.m. Thursday, 10:53 a.m. Friday: Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose, Justin Thomas

Mickelson has three green jackets in his closet, the most recent coming in 2010, and he tied for second behind Jordan Spieth four years ago. Having won earlier this year at Pebble Beach, he’ll look to rebound from a disappointing T-36 finish last year alongside a pair of fellow major champions. Rose was a runner-up with Mickelson back in 2015 and lost in a playoff to Sergio Garcia two years ago, while Thomas’ results have steadily improved in each of his three Masters appearances, highlighted by a T-17 finish last year.

2 p.m. Thursday, 11:04 a.m. Friday: Jordan Spieth, Paul Casey, Brooks Koepka

Spieth has been a fixture on Masters leaderboards since he stepped foot on the property, having won in 2015 and finished third or better three other times since 2014. That includes last year’s third-place showing, when he shot a final-round 64 despite a bogey on the final hole. Casey finished T-6 or better here three straight years from 2015-17 and successfully defended his title last month in Tampa, while Koepka missed last year’s Masters because of injury, meaning that he has won three majors since he last teed it up at Augusta National en route to a T-11 finish in 2017.
