Allmendinger gets new crew chief

Greg Erwin, former crew chief for Roush Fenway Racing's Greg Biffle, will resume that role alongside Richard Petty's AJ Allmendinger with immediate effect. Last week Erwin was replaced at Roush by Matt Puccia as Biffle's crew chief, as the leading Ford outfit attempts placing all its four drivers in contention for a Chase birth. Allmendinger currently ranks tied 16th in the point standings and a victory in the following seven races could potentially put him in position to take a wild-card entry into the playoff.

Muller completes Donington double

Yvan Muller completed a clean sweep of pole position and two wins in the Wold Touring Car Championship at Donington Park, although his race two victory remains provisional due to an incident that is among several being reviewed by the stewards. Muller started 10th and took advantage of the standard reversed-grid race chaos to make quick progress through the field. He claimed the lead from Gabriele Tarquini on lap five, but had gained a place along the way by tagging his Chevrolet team-mate Robb Huff into a half-spin at Goddard's.

Rossi could stick with new Ducati

Valentino Rossi is now unsure about switching back to Ducati's old-spec GP11 following an improved performance at the German Grand Prix. After qualifying a dismal 16th for the Sachsenring race, Rossi said that the revised GP11.1, which was introduced three races ago and is largely based on next year's bike, was difficult to ride.
