AJ ALLMENDINGER, NO. 47 KROGER CLICKLIST CAMARO ZL1 - RACING AT RICHMOND RACEWAY: "Richmond (Raceway) is a racetrack where the racing is tough and you have got to get the car to turn to be successful," Allmendinger said. "Having forward bite in our No. 47 Kroger ClickList Camaro ZL1 is really important, and you can easily wear the front tires off. Over the last couple of years, the track has gotten really slick. It is a difficult task to try to find that balance of good turn, still having good forward drive and not burning the tires off. It’s a place that’s been a rough patch for our organization. We’re learning every year, and we’ll go there and try some new things and to be better."

Sports coupes, as defined by IHS Markit, include two-door and convertible models.

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- The look of disappointment was on the face of Ryan Blaney, as he spoke to Vince Welch of FOX Sports about the wreck that collected him, as he was leading the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. It was even more apparent the frustration he was withholding, because everything happened before he could see it.
