NASCAR O'Reilly Series

Richard Childress Racing and South Point Hotel & Casino announced today the renewal of their partnership for the 2015 NASCAR XFINITY Series season with driver Brendan Gaughan.

NASCAR today announced three key enhancements in the NASCAR XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the 2015 season.

“I need to learn how to slow down. In everything else I drove, I’ve had to make up for the lack of equipment,” he explained. “You can’t do that in the Nationwide Series. The drivers are too good and the cars you’re racing against are really good.

Phoenix International Raceway President Bryan R. Sperber announced today that DAV (Disabled American Veterans) will be recognized as the title sponsor of the track’s November NASCAR Nationwide Series race. The DAV 200 – Honoring America’s Veterans will be the featured event on the third day of PIR’s Veterans Day race weekend.

The Drive for the Cure 300 could have had many winners but Brad Keselowski persevered to bring home the trophy. He avoided multiple crashes, aggressive driving and determinedly made his way to the front, passing teammate Ryan Blaney on lap 187 and holding off Kyle Busch to claim his fourth Nationwide win of the season.

TriStar Motorsports and Ingersoll Rand will team up once again this weekend for the Drive for the Cure 300 Presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Will Kimmel will pilot the No. 44 Ingersoll Rand Camry in his fifth and final race with TriStar Motorsports this season.

Will Kimmel is back for the finale of his five-race deal with Ingersoll Rand and TriStar Motorsports. This will be Kimmel's first time turning laps in a Nationwide Series car at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but he is looking forward to racing there and looking to his veteran teammates (Mike Bliss, Jeff Green, Eric McClure and David Starr) for advice. In his last outing in the Ingersoll Rand Camry Kimmel finished 28th at Chicagoland Speedway.

Coming off of a 14th place finish last weekend at Kansas Speedway, Mike Bliss is ready to make his 20th NNS start at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. With an average start of 18.1 and an average finishing position of 16.5, Bliss has won two NNS races at the fast 1.5-mile quad-oval, his last in 2009. He has turned over 3,500 laps led 43, at the track where he's seen most of his NNS success.

After his 15th place finish last weekend at Kansas Speedway, David Starr is keeping the momentum high as he returns to Charlotte Motor Speedway for his 11th start with TriStar Motorsports. With four previous NNS starts at CMS, Starr has an average starting position of 25.0 and an average finishing position of 24.3. The Texas native has turned over 589 laps at the 1.5-mile speedway.

After posting a 19th-place finish at Kansas Speedway, Eric McClure heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway looking to improve on his past finishes at the 1.5-mile speedway. In 12 starts, the Virginia driver's best finish came in 2009 where he finished 18th. Earlier this year, when the series made its first stop at CMS, McClure posted a 29th-place finish.
