For all of the wise cracks and smack talking against New Jersey, you have to admit the state's good for several things: The Sorpranos, bagels, and now Formula One.
That's right, Formula One is expected to come to New Jersey after months of speculation.
According to reports from The Wall Street Journal, Bernie Eccelstone's Formula One has scheduled a press conference at Port Imperial in Weehawken for tomorrow. I can't see why else F1 would be having a sit down in Weehawken. Word on the street suggests the race would happen in June 2013, which is after Austin's November 2012 race. The difference between Texas' and New Jersey's race is that the Jersey waterfront spectacular will be set on a road course.
Imagine that, after an absence from 2007, F1 will return with not one but TWO US races.
Good on ya, Bernie!
