The renewed buzz at Talladega Superspeedway stems from Patrick’s first IndyCar Series win, with NASCAR drivers and team owner Jack Roush discussing the daunting challenges of a move from open-wheel racing for anyone, male or female.

California judge won’t let Allstate delay cutting auto insurance…
