RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 DEX Imaging Ford Fusion – HOW HAS YOUR WEEK BEEN AND HOW EAGER WERE YOU TO GET BACK ON TRACK HERE AT ATLANTA? “It’s been pretty relaxed, to be honest with you. We didn’t really do much. You just do your typical debriefs, but it’s nice to be home after 10 days of being in Daytona, and the weather was pretty nice in North Carolina too, which was that much better. I’m excited to get back to the race track. It’s always nice to have a little bit of down time from the 10 days you’re down in Daytona, but you’re ready to get back to the race track and this place is awesome. We’re slipping and sliding and it’s just a fun place to come. We struggled a little bit today in qualifying trim, but hopefully we can get a little bit better, but it’s nice to be back and nice to get the season started to roll.”

Young’s Motorsports announced Friday that it will field a second truck in full-time competition for the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) season.

After a ten-day swing to Florida for the Can-Am Duels and Daytona 500, the Go Fas Racing team heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the second race of the NASCAR regular season. Last season, DiBenedetto and the No.32 team caught the attention of most of the NASCAR garage and media when he qualified the No.32 Can-Am Ford 13th in the first round of qualifying and ended up 22nd in the second round. With much of 2017's team returning this season, the team hopes to see similar results this weekend.

Announced today, Team Penske and Siemens, a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, have entered into a new technical partnership. Under the multi-year agreement, Siemens will help enhance Team Penske’s performance with full access to a wide variety of software products to enable advanced digital design and simulations. Team Penske race teams will utilize Siemens’ software across their computer-aided design (CAD), engineering, simulation and machining platforms. Utilizing this software, Team Penske can create a digital twin of their race cars, which can help engineers simulate engine configurations, innovate new parts and predict race results in real-time.
