Official Release

‘RIDE ALONG’ WITH NO. 5 THROWBACK: Sister companies Hendrick Motorsports and Hendrick Automotive Group have partnered for a two-race sponsorship built around the Hendrick Ride Along Sweepstakes.

JD Motorsports with Gary Keller announced Tuesday that, in the spirit of Darlington’s “throwback” weekend, all three team cars will have retro car numbers representing South Carolina racing history in the VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200.

When the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series gets to Darlington Raceway for the renewal of the Southern 500 on Labor Day Weekend there will be a throwback theme in the air as many teams bring back paint schemes from the 1970’s.

Stenhouse Jr. has two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) starts at Darlington Raceway with an average starting position of 21.0 and average finishing position of 19.0.

Biffle has 14 Sprint Cup career starts at Darlington, earning two wins, three top-five and six top-10 finishes.

HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi announced today that AccuDoc Solutions will serve as the primary sponsor on the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro for the NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Darlington Raceway on Saturday, Sept. 5 (3:30 p.m. EDT on NBC). The No. 42 AccuDoc Solutions Chevrolet Camaro will be driven by 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year Kyle Larson.

Josh Berry, a two-time late model champion for JR Motorsports (JRM), has been selected to drive the No. 88 Speedco Chevrolet Camaro in the upcoming NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) race at Richmond International Raceway on Sept. 11, general manager Kelley Earnhardt Miller announced today.

The month of August was tough for the No. 43 WinField team with late race accidents and mechanical issues robbing the team of good results in four of the five races.

Last week, Richard Petty Motorsports announced that Winn-Dixie would join Sam Hornish Jr. and the No. 9 team as the team's primary sponsor at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. Winn-Dixie's history in NASCAR dates back to 1980, making their debut in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as the primary sponsor for Lake Speed. Since then, they've proven their support to the world of NASCAR in more ways than one.

Aric Almirola and the No. 43 team are still in the hunt for a Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup transfer spot with just two races remaining before the start of the Chase. Currently, the team is 35 points outside of the cutoff. Not only will the team be fighting for a good finish to earn a Chase spot, but they will also throwback to 1972 with the No. 43 STP Ford for The Tradition Returns weekend. Marking the first year of STP's partnership with "The King" Richard Petty, the No. 43 will sport the original paint scheme of "Petty Blue" and Day-Glo Red. Not only will the team exhibit the throwback look, they will also host members from the 1972 Petty Enterprises team on Sunday.
