Hello, people of the free internet. This website is currently frozen in state because the software that generates it is undergoing a long lobotomy. I think? it’s almost over this time? I have said this every weekend for four months. But soon, it will work again. Inshallah. — Jon

Y’all’re never gonna believe this, but @jon.turningfortune.com burned through our hosting allowance again until the end of the month, but he promises all this computer stuff he’s doing will be really cool and worth it when it’s “done,” which is a condition he keeps changing the definition of.

Okay, the website part of this website still exists, we promise. Jon might try to write something about Kyle Busch. Luke is figuring out what lore-blogging is. Also, like, Le Mans starts tomorrow

Merry race weekend eve. On Monday, the website will be able to begin posting again, and after that, the editor-at-large would like to speak with anybody out there who might be thinking about setting up some kind of racing website. I built a racing website generator during my suspension.

Turning Fortune’s deploy pipeline has fallen victim to overly ambitious new features spending our entire allowance before engines even fired in Indy on Motorsports Christmas, so the site will be without updates until June 1. We are taking the opportunity to add even more ambitious features.
