NASCAR Cup Series

AUSTIN DILLON, NO. 3 DOW CAMARO ZL1 – RACE WINNER - ON EMOTIONS: “Right now I just want to thank the good Lord above. I did what I had to do there at the end. I hate it for the No. 10 (Aric Almirola) guys. We had a run, and I stayed in the gas. It is what it is here at Daytona. This is so awesome to take the No. 3 car back to Victory Lane 20 years ago. This one is for Dale Earnhardt, Sr. and all those Sr. fans. I love you guys. We are going to keep kicking butt the rest of the year!”

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Discount Tire Ford Fusion - Finishing Position: 32nd (Wreck on lap 102) “The 24 got loose and spun out in front of us all and got caught up in it. It just really sucks. We had a great car and were in a great position. I guess that’s the way it goes. I went to pass the 24 on the bottom and he came down. I can’t tell if I made contact or not, but obviously he turned and there was nothing I could do. We were all wrecked.” PATIENCE IS ALWAYS MENTIONED WITH THIS RACE, BUT WE DON’T SEE IT ALL THE TIME. “No. You definitely didn’t see it today.”

A new era in Chevrolet motorsports starts this weekend with the debut of the Camaro ZL1 as its new race car in Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) competition.

It’s said that an individual is never more than 10 feet away from a 3M product.  In the NASCAR garage, it can be said that a crewmember or driver is likely in constant contact with a 3M product.  That’s because in 2018, more than 200 3M products are used throughout NASCAR.
