Nearly 11 months ago, NASCAR and Daytona International Speedway announced the concept of a unique short-track event to take place Feb. 18-19 during the 2013 Speedweeks. With the kickoff just over five weeks away, the anticipation and excitement around the inaugural UNOH Battle At The Beach continues to rise.
JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 DRIVE TO END HUNGER CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Daytona International Speedway and discussed his thoughts on testing thus far, the off season and other topics.
2013 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee, Rusty Wallace, will auction a special-edition NASCAR-style Ford Mustang next week at the 42nd edition of the world-famous Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, AZ.

"It was different than what we're used to. This body style -- we're just trying to figure out where is the happy spot. Does it want to be straight behind the other car? Do you want to be offset a little bit? Really it seems like the back car gets a lot of air to it. It essentially makes it hard to suck up to the front car, which I think will bode well for our competition at other race tracks going forward where the front car doesn't have such a huge advantage."
JR Motorsports announced today the hiring of Mike Bumgarner as crew chief for the No. 5 Great Clips Chevrolet in NASCAR Nationwide Series competition in 2013. The team is currently slated for 27 races with drivers Kasey Kahne and Brad Sweet.
Even with the best laid plans, sometimes you have to call an audible.

"Everybody is super excited about this race car and what it brings to our sport and the identity that it brings back to the passenger cars you see on the roads. This is my first time I've been in it. I didn't do the Charlotte test so it was fun to get out there and see what it was all about."
The two-time ARCA Menards Series East champion from Johnston, Iowa, led a race-high 21 of 86 laps and outdueled Ty Majeski, Kaden Honeycutt and a pack of eight competitors on the final lap to become the 130th competitor to win in the Truck Series division.
Kaden Honeycutt (fifth) earned the most stage points and delivered another top-five finish in the Chase to lead Toyota in Friday night’s NASCAR Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
The 2024 Truck Series champion from Seymour, Wisconsin, posted a pole-winning lap at 177.389 mph in 53.983 seconds for his third Truck pole of 2026, first at Talladega and the 14th of his career.
