Not that I've heard, but TorqueSchool will feature TorqueX classes and there is an excellent XNA book out by the same guy who built the XNA Racer starter kit.

Yup, that's the book. Benie = machine. If/When MS starts their XNA MVP program, he'll be first to get it for certain.

MS already has XNA MVPs, I think Ziggy has recently became an MVP because the work he does on his website.

Personally, I would liked if the Pro XNA Programming book to go into more details of how XNA works. As it stands, the book is at an higher level and you will probably learn more technical details from the free companion code download than from the book.

Well they didn't when I last inquired during GDC =P

The book wasn't meant as the end all be all of XNA, it was meant to get a beginner to intermediate going.

Actually that book was never meant to be a beginner's book at all. Hence the "Pro" in the name. The only beginner's XNA book currently on the market (and even this is reaching a bit) is XNA Unleashed. I've read it, and while the author does make a few assumptions, it's not bad and fairly newb-friendly.
