It’s a quick turn around from the biggest NTT INDYCAR race of the year as the Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) squad prepares for the third double header race weekend of the 2020 IndyCar season this weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway (WWTR).

Standout Management Group (SMG) and NASCAR driver Gray Gaulding are excited to announce the return of Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux as primary sponsor for No. 07 Chevrolet Camaro racing this coming Friday under the lights at Daytona International Speedway.

He made one start in the ARCA Menards Series finishing 17th after handling issues, and one start in what was the NASCAR K&N East Series where he finished 15th after an accident. This time Gray is hoping for better results in his No. 15 Ford Performance F-150.

Words and phrases that are guaranteed to be heard this week for the cut-off race for the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs – Saturday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Raceway – include: “Intense. Pressure-Packed.

1st - TAKUMA SATO (No. 30 Panasonic/PeopleReady Honda): “Obviously, we pitted (a lap) short from Dixie (Scott Dixon). The fuel strategy was a bit tight. I saw Scott was coming right through out of Turn 4, and he was screaming coming at me.
