In this episode of AmericanMuscle’s Hot Lap YouTube series, Justin Dugan grabs the keys to a customer’s super-clean, low-mileage, Vapor Silver, 5-speed equipped, 2006 Mustang GT for a budget-style mini build. Keeping cost down doesn’t necessarily mean styling and performance have to suffer; so with that in mind, Justin selects some modest modifications from AM’s Mustang Exhaust, Intake, and Suspension categories before testing it out on the dyno and street.

After a month hiatus, the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series will be back in action this weekend at Dover (Del.) International Speedway.

With a few early cautions at the start of the final stage, crew chief Brian Pattie told Stenhouse to stay out under one of the cautions for track position.

All three of NASCAR’s top touring series will be in action this weekend at Dover International Speedway as the NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series kicks off the action on Friday night followed by the NASCAR XFINITY Series on Saturday and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series on Sunday.

During the month of April the No. 52 team ran the HFR Race for Autism fundraiser to benefit Crossroads Center for Children in Schenectady, N.Y. The Friesen family has a special connection to the cause since their son, Parker, was diagnosed on the autism spectrum shortly after his first birthday and attends Crossroads Center. All proceeds from the fundraiser help with technology updates and support, materials for teaching, play and social skills and allowing the school to offer salary and benefits to staff in order to retain dedicated people.

Although this will be his first NGOTS start at Dover, Sheldon Creed has previously competed there in 2017 in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East where he started seventh and led seven laps en route to a fourth-place finish.
