Verizon IndyCar Series driver Conor Daly was the guest on the Verizon IndyCar Series media teleconference to discuss the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit presented by Quicken Loans.
The Chevrolet Indy Duel in Detroit will mark the Verizon IndyCar Series’ sixth visit to Detroit, and it’s fourth since 2008. The Motor City hosted Indy car racing from 1989-91 in Downtown Detroit. The race moved to Belle Isle Park from 1992-2001 and 2007-2008 and returned in 2012. The 2015 event will mark the 16th year for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) to compete at the Raceway at Belle Isle Park and the team’s 18th and 19th races.
Three-Five-Nine-Ten: In follow-up to one of the biggest racing weekends of the year last week, Chip Ganassi Racing Teams (CGRT) is gearing up for one of their busiest, action-packed weekends of racing in 2015. For the first time this season, CGRT will compete in three different cities (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Dover, Del., and Detroit, Mich.) in five series (Red Bull Global Rallycross, Tudor United SportsCar Championship, NASCAR XFINITY Series, Verizon INDYCAR Series and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series), with nine cars and 10 different drivers (Steve Arpin, Scott Pruett, Joey Hand, Brennan Poole, Sage Karam, Charlie Kimball, Tony Kanaan, Scott Dixon, Kyle Larson and Jamie McMurray). This will be the first time that CGRT will have cars on-track on the same weekend for all five series in which it competes.
Dover International Speedway, dubbed "The Monster Mile" for its high banking and higher speeds, is the next track on the schedule for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Michael Annett. The Des Moines, Iowa driver will climb into his No. 46 Pilot Flying J Chevrolet on Sunday in an attempt to gather a strong finish at the Delaware racetrack.
It’s a battle on concrete as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series travels to Dover International Speedway. Dover is one of two completely concrete tracks on the circuit. The one-mile oval is known for quick speeds with its 24-degree banking in the turns.
Concrete Mile...The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) heads to Dover International Speedway for the first of two races this season at the 1.0-mile concrete track. Allgaier looks to improve on his average finish of 27.5 at the only mile concrete track on the circuit. Crew Chief Steve Addington has three NSCS wins at Dover, earning the victories in 2008, 2011 and 2013.
Roush Fenway Racing driver Ryan Reed made his 50th career NASCAR XFINITY Series start at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, a milestone that the 21-year-old Bakersfield, Calif. native was told he would never reach after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2011.
It’s sparks flying on the track and off. It’s warm bodies and cold drinks. It’s camping under the moon and seeing how wild things get. It just might be the best days of summer you’ll ever have.
Special Scheme for FedEx 400: The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Dover International Speedway for Sunday’s FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks, the fifth time FedEx has sponsored the 400-lap event at the “Monster Mile.”
