The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will visit Dover International Speedway this weekend, a place where Ford has won 25 times. Here’s a look at some memorable races Ford has won at the Monster Mile.
After a successful partnership with Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and Brandon Jones in 2016, Rain-X®, featuring Advance Auto Parts as a retail partner, will return as a primary sponsor on the No. 33 Chevrolet Camaro for two NASCAR XFINITY Series races in the 2017 season.
Takuma Sato earned $2,458,129 from an overall purse of $13,178,359 for his victory Sunday in the 101st Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Austin Dillon stretched his gas mileage and ended the race on fumes, earning his first career MENCS victory on Sunday night, capturing the checkered flag in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Chastain is scheduled to make his debut in the Cup Series in the AAA 400 Drive for Autism Sunday at Dover International Speedway. He also will drive in Saturday’s OneMain Financial 200 Xfinity Series race and the Friday’s Bar Harbor 200 Camping World Truck Series race, both also at Dover. His vehicles in all three events will carry sponsorship from the OHS in support of safe driving.
Erik Jones battled back from adversity early in Sunday night’s Coca-Cola 600 to earn a seventh-place finish, his best NASCAR Cup Series result to date.
Martin Truex Jr. said that not winning Sunday night’s Coca-Cola 600 had a stinging effect. But there was a silver lining for the Furniture Row Racing driver with his third-place outcome in NASCAR’s longest race (400 laps, 600 miles).
Gutsy Fuel Strategy Call in Coca-Cola 600 Helps Austin Dillon Earn Career-First Victory in No. 3 Dow Chevrolet in front of Hometown Crowd "I feel like we did our jobs. We took a car that was capable of running fifth to eighth, and we took it to Victory Lane. The pit crew did an amazing job. I had a really good restart and an okay restart that hurt us a little but."
A good measure of a race team is how it responds to adversity. Ryan Blaney and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane team lived up their sponsor’s name, “Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center” by giving a good account of themselves in Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. They rebounded from a broken axle and finished 24th, which dropped them just one position to 12th in the championship standing.
Austin Dillon won his first career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race in a fuel-mileage runto the finish in the rain-delayed Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway; Dillon crossed the finish line early Monday morning and held off Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin; Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 10th in his final Coca-Cola 600 start
