The two-time world champion, who has had a disappointing year since returning to the French team, said Monday he will make a decision after the Formula One season ends.

"I do not know what will happen," the Spaniard said. "The car has improved a little, and I hope that by the end of the year we will get on the podium ... At the end of the year I will have to make a decision, and we will see where Renault is."

Alonso is ninth in the current standings with only nine points. Polish driver Robert Kubica leads with 42 points for BMW Sauber, four ahead of Lewis Hamilton.

Last season Alonso partnered with rookie Hamilton at McLaren, where the drivers' relationship deteriorated as the Briton continued to chalk up podiums.

In an acrimonious season, McLaren was fined $100 million in a spying scandal and docked all of its constructors points.

Alonso returned to Renault last November without a third straight world championship.

Stewart's portion of the $136,986 prize for finishing fifth in the Michigan 400 will go the American Red Cross for flood relief in Columbus.

"I'm happy we got a top five for everyone in Columbus and that we can do something to help our community out," Stewart said after Sunday's race.

"It's been on my mind all weekend. That's what this top five is for," he said. "When it's your own community and your own neighbors, it's good to generate a good amount of winnings for them."
Stewart's share -- about 40 percent -- is almost $55,000.

Racing to the finish line beating out past winners in the Milwaukee Mile's 7th annual Miller Lite 50 Lap Race, Chris Sackman a 5 year rookie wins the grand prize of $10,000! "This was a tough race but I put my all into wining this prize!" Sackman says about his winning.

This year he beat out last year's winner, Bill (I forgot his last name, Chris's racing friend Bill that looks like Chris) a 3 time winner of this competition. What does Bill have to say about his defeat? "I'm glad it went to Chris. He's a good buddy of mine and I'm really happy for him." That is until next year......Winning prize will be doubled to $20,000!
