Fathers Day

To commemorate this year’s father’s day celebrations, we put together a list of 20 of the best known fathers and their offspring in the racing world.

Children require a ton of sacrifices; even people without kids know that.

What's a sweepstakes on Autoblog without some Automoblox cars as prizes? Not much, so we rang Patrick Calello, the designer who dreams up these heirloom-quality toys, and he's graciously provided both a C9R sportscar ($39.99) and S9R sports sedan ($39.99) for us to give away.
