It ends here. The 2009 American Le Mans Series—the explosive storm that sends high tech Le Mans lightening and the muscular thunder of the Grand Touring machines around the lake's legendary bends at the same time—concludes a devilishly dynamic and speedy season this weekend. Another ending: Two-time IndyCar champ and 09 Indy 500 winner Gil de Ferran hits the brakes on a storied pro career; the racetrack and primary sponsor Patron have already assembled a fittingly stylish sendoff for the 41-year-old Brazilian. And while the flag drops on the fastest closed wheel cars in the world Saturday afternoon, seven other races streak through the weekend, which keeps things moving quickly. [MCA]
