ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Weekends at IndyCar tracks are a little quieter this season for Scott Dixon. The outgoing Tony Kanaan isn't around anymore at Chip Ganassi Racing to share a laugh.
Their friendship has lasted, though.
"I think the thing I've commented on the most is probably how quiet it's been without TK," Dixon said. "He's a huge character and we had a ton of laughs with him around."
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Helio Castroneves and Sebastien Bourdais each tried to make the most of a rare passing opportunity during the second half of Sunday's Indianapolis 500.
Both crashed.
Tony Kanaan and Danica Patrick, they spun out and crashed, too.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tony Kanaan found himself in a familiar place atop the speed chart Friday at the final practice for the Indianapolis 500, while Honda appeared to find a little more speed on Carb Day.
Kanaan paced the field with a lap of 227.791 mph, underscoring the might that Chevrolet has shown all month. But he was followed by three Honda-powered cars driven by Scott Dixon, Marco Andretti and Sebastien Bourdais, a sign of just how wide open Sunday's race figures to be.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — For all the success Tony Kanaan has had inside an Indy car, from winning the series title to his long-sought Indianapolis 500 triumph, you'd think he would have landed with one team for good.
Instead, one of the sport's most popular drivers has always been searching for stability.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Graham Rahal's one-day turnaround looked good and felt even better.
Now he needs to prove it wasn't a fluke.
Just 24 hours after finishing 34th out of 35 on the Indianapolis 500 practice speed charts, the 29-year-old American jumped into the top spot with a fast lap of 226.047 mph. The only driver to top 226 on Thursday heads into the weekend with a little momentum.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Scott Dixon will be the latest IndyCar driver to enter the realm of reality TV when he auditions in Indianapolis next week for "American Ninja Warrior."
The four-time IndyCar champion, nicknamed "The Iceman," thought it sounded fun when he was approached with the idea of trying out. As the competition has drawn near, Dixon is wondering what he got himself into.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — AJ Foyt has hired an Indianapolis 500 winner to drive fulltime in IndyCar for the first time since he started his own team.
Tony Kanaan will drive Foyt's flagship No. 14 Chevrolet next year, which will make him the first Indy 500 winner besides Foyt to drive a full season for the team. Foyt owned the team when he won his third and fourth Indianapolis 500s.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Chip Ganassi Racing will return to a two-car team in the IndyCar Series next season in a business decision the team owner said led to layoffs.
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Tony Kanaan feels like a veteran again this weekend at Road America.
In France last week, the 42-year-old driver with 20 years of IndyCar experience was treated like a rookie.
Subbing for injured driver Sebastien Bourdais, Kanaan drove the No. 67 Ford GT for his Chip Ganassi Racing team and finished 6th in class in his first ride at the 24 Hours of Le Mans .
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Tony Kanaan realized within a matter of laps on the repaved and reconfigured track that the pack was back.
At Texas Motor Speedway, where over the past 20 years IndyCar has had some of its fastest and most exciting finishes, drivers quickly worked in a second groove on the 1½-mile track that was repaved earlier this year. Some even were going three-wide, whether they meant to or not.
"Very intense from first lap to the last lap," Kanaan said. "I'm glad it's over."
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Will Power was trying to figure out how to hold off Scott Dixon for the lead as the two went side-by-side in the closing laps of the IndyCar race at Texas.
Instead, Dixon got taken out in one last crash to end a wild race at the repaved and reconfigured 1 1/2-mile track and Power won under caution. Only eight of the 22-car field actually crossed the finish line Saturday night.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The IndyCar race at Texas resumed after being red-flagged nearly 31 minutes Saturday night to clean up after an accident involving nine cars in the third and fourth turns.
When the race resumed under yellow on lap 155, and was green on the 160th of 248 scheduled laps, only half of the original 22-car field was on the track.
DETROIT (AP) — Tony Kanaan's bucket list is about to get shorter.
Time to prepare for the opportunity is short, too.
The 42-year-old Brazilian IndyCar driver is making his Le Mans debut, replacing the injured Sebastien Bourdais on the defending class winning team at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in just two weeks.
LE MANS, France (AP) — Tony Kanaan will replace injured driver Sebastien Bourdais on the defending class winning team at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Bourdais teamed with Joey Hand and Dirk Müller to drive the No. 68 Ford for Chip Ganassi Racing to the GTE Pro Class victory last season. The Le Mans native broke his pelvis, a hip and two ribs in a crash at Indianapolis during qualifying for the Indy 500.
It will be Kanaan's debut at Le Mans, a bucket race for most drivers.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — No one needs a spotter to see this coming.
With former Indianapolis 500 champions Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan in the twilight of their racing careers and possibly driving their final IndyCar season, the open-wheel series is on the verge of a fairly significant shift.
Even IndyCar officials are braced for the change, having created a "What's Next" advertising campaign that puts several younger drivers in the spotlight.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves watched from afar as NASCAR stars Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart retired and Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced that he will step away after the season.
Castroneves is far from jealous. But he is definitely curious.

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Mikhail Aleshin has won the IndyCar pole at Pocono Raceway.
Aleshin, fastest in morning practice on the tricky 2.5-mile triangular track, turned a fast lap of 220.454 mph in his No. 7 Honda to edge Josef Newgarden for the top spot Saturday. It's the first career pole for the Russian, who drives for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports.
