NASCAR Cup Series

NASCAR Driver Michael McDowell and Circle Sport – Leavine Family Racing (CSLFR) are thrilled to be one of the select Sprint Cup Series teams showcasing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (TMNT) paint scheme during the TMNT 400 at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend. McDowell and CSLFR will travel to the infamous 1.5-mile track after capturing their second best finish of the season at Richmond International Raceway.

Aric Almirola left Richmond with a Top-20 finish but was not able to clinch a spot in The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The team rallied back from a cut tire early on in the race that left them three laps down to finish in the 17th position on the lead lap.

Brian Scott and the No. 44 Jewel-Osco team have a busy weekend ahead in Chicago, both on and off the track. Jewel-Osco, a banner store of Albertsons Companies, will be on the hood of Scott's No. 44 Ford Fusion, and fans will have several opportunities to meet Scott away from the track in Chicago. Scott has experience and success at the intermediate 1.5-mile tri-oval in the XFINITY Series and is looking to use that knowledge to his advantage for Sunday's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400.

As we head to Chicagoland, you have to wonder if there are paybacks in the future. Will Newman wreck Stewart? Will Cole Custer get revenge on John Hunter Nemechek for the injustice he was victim to at Canadian Motorsports Park?

When Joey Gase and the No.32 JT Concrete/TMNT Rocksteady team hit the track this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway they will be part of an epic battle in #TeamTurtle vs. #TeamFoot.

Although the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion won’t be a factor in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup this Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway, Ryan Blaney and Wood Brothers Racing intend to be a factor in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 as well as every other race remaining on the schedule.

Nickelodeon today announced the final three drivers to its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) lineup in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series™ and NASCAR Camping World Series™ races at Chicagoland Speedway.

The formula might appear to be simplistic. But for Martin Truex Jr. keeping it simple and fast is the best blueprint to have success in the Chase, NASCAR’s version of the playoffs.
