AJ ALLMENDINGER, NO. 47 KROGER CLICKLIST CAMARO ZL1 - RACING AT MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY: "Throughout the years of racing at Michigan (International Speedway), the track has really gotten slick and widens out," Allmendinger said. "We definitely saw that in the first race in June. I always find it's a challenging weekend because when you start out the weekend for practice on Friday, the track is one groove-wide and it doesn't really widen out until the end of final practice on Saturday."

Set to continue their impressive presence on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) tour, JJL Motorsports officials announced today that the Wings Over North Georgia Air Show (WONG) presented by Parker FiberNet will return as the team’s primary marketing partner for Jesse Little at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway on Thurs., Aug. 17.

Michigan International Speedway serves as ‘home’ for Jack Roush and Roush Fenway Racing, located just an hour from Roush Industries in Livonia, Michigan. MIS has naturally been one of the organization’s most successful tracks on the circuit, with the team earning a total of 23 wins across NASCAR’s three major touring series.

Martin Truex Jr. doesn’t have to make amends. He is the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion, who continues to be one of the top drivers this season. He is also coming off a stalwart runner-up finish in Sunday’s Watkins Glen International road race.

Coughlin will utilize chassis no. 312 this weekend at Michigan. This chassis has been run two previous times in 2018, most recently at Kentucky (12th), as well as earlier in the season at Texas (eighth).

The Buckeye State will have plenty of representation when the green flag falls on Rock N Roll Tequila 170 Presented by Amethyst Beverage on Saturday, August 11, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.

Michigan Preview: The Series returns to Michigan for Sunday’s race around the 2-mile oval in the Irish Hills where Denny Hamlin looks to improve upon his 12th-place finish captured earlier this season.

The anticipation is growing for Talladega Superspeedway’s NASCAR Playoff doubleheader weekend, Oct. 12-14, and the most coveted real estate in motorsports is filling up fast in the iconic infield. Officials at NASCAR’s most competitive track announced today that fewer than 30 reserved RV camping spots remain.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will compete this weekend at Michigan International Speedway while the NASCAR XFINITY Series runs at Mid-Ohio on Saturday.
