TPC Racing’s Chloe Chambers Scores Porsche Sprint Challenge Cayman Class Weekend Win Sweep

  • Chambers Capitalizes on Guest Driver Role in the No. 77 Monoflo International Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport to Win the Saturday and Sunday Sprint Challenge Cayman Races
  • Shaun McKaigue Scores Masters Class Podium Sweep on the Weekend With Twin Second-Place Finishes in the No. 34 TPC Racing Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (April 29, 2024) – TPC Racing scored a pair of weekend podium sweeps in Porsche Sprint Challenge North America Cayman-class competition at Barber Motorsports Park Saturday and Sunday highlighted by dual overall and Pro-Am victories by Chloe Chambers in the No. 77 Monoflo International Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport.

Chambers led every lap from the pole in both 35 minute races and was never rattled by her closest challengers that filled her mirrors in both sprints. On Saturday, the gap to the second-place driver was never more than a second, and even that edge was erased entirely after a mid-race, full-course caution bunched up the field.

Perfectly timing the restart, Chambers defended the lead in the race’s final minutes, including a last lap, side-by-side challenge, to score the victory by 0.411-second. Sunday’s race was even tighter, but Chambers skillfully completed the wire-to-wire weekend with a scant 0.229-second margin of victory.

The wins were the eighth and ninth Porsche Sprint Challenge North America victories in a year’s time for Chambers with TPC Racing, who was guest driving for regular Monoflo International pilots Tillman Schmid and Evan Hinkle at Barber. Chambers scored seven wins last season, beginning with a pair of victories last April at Barber Motorsports Park, but just missed out on the driver’s championship after not having the opportunity to compete in 2023’s season-opening doubleheader at Sebring International Raceway.

In Masters Class competition, Shaun McKaigue joined Chambers in matching last year’s podium result at Barber and doing it one better in his No. 34 TPC Racing Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport. In his Sprint Challenge Cayman debut last year at Barber, McKaigue earned runner-up honors in Sunday’s second and final race. That success ultimately led to his full-year campaign this season in the Cayman class, and McKaigue pulled off the double podium in just his second race weekend with the new GT4 RS Clubsport package.

McKaigue’s Masters Class teammate Tom Kerr ran in the top 10 in Saturday’s race before getting caught up in a contact incident in his No. 74 TPC Racing Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport. Kerr got hit from behind, which pushed him into the competitor ahead of him. The contact didn’t prevent Kerr from improving a combined seven positions in both weekend races as he continues to get familiar with the GT4 RS Clubsport.

Replays of both Saturday’s and Sunday’s races can be seen on the Porsche Motorsports North America YouTube page at www.youtube.com/@PorscheMotorsportNorthAmerica.

Harris Levitas, TPC Racing Director of Race Operations: “The TPC Racing team really worked hard. We had three amazing Porsche GT4 Clubsport RS cars and Chloe drove a pair of phenomenal races flag to flag. It definitely wasn’t easy for her, she had to put some work in for this one, but proved she was the class of the field. It was great to see her race craft, skill and ability really come through in the Monoflo International/TPC Racing car. Shaun McKaigue drove amazing, too. He finished second in the Masters category in both races and even hit the overall top five on Saturday. He was starting to fight for contention during the first half of the Saturday race, but track conditions change. Shaun built a huge gap to P3, so it was really just him and the leader out there. This builds on the momentum from when Shaun started in the Cayman platform last year here at Barber. Tom’s doing tremendously well, too. He’s improving every time in the car and regular top-10 finishes are close. It was a great weekend, and we dedicate it to our teammate David Williams who won with us as well at Barber last year. He was watching from home and we look forward to having him back at the track with us soon.”

Chloe Chambers, Driver, No. 77 Monoflo International Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport: “Winning on my return felt great. It was nice to see everyone at PMNA again. Both races were pretty tight, but having such tight races shows how good the competition is this year. It also makes the victories even better knowing how hard I had to work for it. The GT4 RS feels like it has quite a bit more power than the old Clubsport, and it’s quite a bit faster lap time wise as well. Still, the racing in it is very good and competitive. The top few drivers are pretty tight, so it’s good to see that kind of competition within the field.”

Shaun McKaigue, Driver, No. 34 TPC Racing Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport: “Our weekend was a testament to the TPC Racing team. They have a great program going and the team gave us a great car out of the box. We tested here, but then we had a new spring and the team did a really great job adapting to that, making a few adjustments. Chloe finished spectacularly, Tom finished really well, and our cars were all great. It’s really a whole team effort, and it was fun to watch the team energize from the success of myself, Chole and Tom. We had some great results for the weekend.”

Würth 400 – Dover Motor Speedway
Dover, DE – April 28, 2024

NASCAR TRACKS – DOVER MOTOR SPEEDWAY – NASCAR 101

AUSTIN CINDRIC No. 2 MENARDS/QUAKER STATE FORD MUSTANG

START: 11TH STAGE ONE: 19TH STAGE TWO: 20TH FINISH: 15TH POINTS: 19TH

RACE RUNDOWN: Austin Cindric, driver of the No. 2 Menards/Quaker State Ford Mustang, rallied back to net a 15th-place finish in Sunday’s Würth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway. Cindric, an admirer of the high-speed, one-mile concrete oval, fired off from the 11th position after barely missing out on advancing to the final round in Saturday’s time trials. Just under 35 laps into the race, Cindric informed the team that the car was free on entry and tight on exit and shortly after made his first trip to pit road under caution on lap 39 for four tires, fuel and adjustments. When the flags flew signifying the conclusion of Stage 1 following the opening 120 laps, Cindric crossed the line 19th and returned to pit road for additional adjustments to help provide stability and overall grip. The 25-year-old driver restarted 17th and reported that the car was getting loose 30 laps into the run. After completing a green-flag stop on lap 182, Cindric cycled to the 20th position and remained there as Stage 2 ended. The 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion restarted 19th and avoided a multi-car incident with 72 laps to go. When the field returned green, the No. 2 was scored 15th and powered through to the finish 15th, marking his best finish since Atlanta.

CINDRIC’S THOUGHTS: “I’m proud to have a result that is representative of the hard work our team has put in. I feel like we’ve struggled to finish these deals out the last month or so, the speed that we’ve shown, so I’m proud of that. Fifteenth is solid, but we still have more progress to make. The guys called a great race. We made good adjustments and it feels nice to execute one. We just need to keep moving forward.”

RYAN BLANEY No. 12 WÜRTH FORD MUSTANG

START: 2ND STAGE ONE: 4TH STAGE TWO: 8TH FINISH: 7TH POINTS: 7TH

RACE RUNDOWN: Ryan Blaney wheeled the No. 12 Würth Ford Mustang to his fifth top-10 finish of the season Sunday at Dover, coming away with a seventh-place result. After starting on the front row for the 400-mile event, Blaney settled into second before making the pass for the lead on lap 34 before the first caution of the day came out five laps later. The 12 team ripped off a fast, four-tire stop under yellow to win the race off pit road, allowing Blaney to restart from the inside of row one with 73 laps remaining in Stage 1. Blaney paced the field for a majority of the ensuing run before the Würth Ford began to build tight as he fell to fourth in the running order with 20 laps left in the segment. The caution flag flew with three to go in the stage as Blaney was credited with a fourth-place finish in Stage 1. Following a four tire stop and a round of adjustments during the stage break, Blaney settled into fourth for the initial run of Stage 2 before the green flag pit cycle began. The tight-handling condition persisted after the trip to pit road, but Blaney battled to an eighth-place finish in Stage 2. The opening run of the final stage saw Blaney settle into sixth on the leaderboard as the tight condition at the start began to work its way to the free side before the leaders hit pit road with 80 laps to go for scheduled green flag stops. Shortly after Blaney made his way off pit road, the caution flag flew for a single-car incident that trapped him a lap down but the free pass brought him back on the lead lap and scored ninth in the order. Blaney continued to battle inside the top-10 over the course of the final run before ultimately taking the checkered flag seventh. Blaney’s 47 laps led marked a career-high at Dover in his 14th-career Cup Series start at the one-mile oval.

BLANEY’S THOUGHTS: “I still thought we had, like, fourth to seventh-place potential all day, so I’m proud of the effort by everybody on this team for sticking with it. I really wanted to win one for Würth. It’s a big race for those guys and they’re a great partner for us, but we just missed out. Hopefully, we can get a redemption shot next year if they do this again, but I appreciate the effort. It was a long day. To run 400 laps around this place is tough and working on it all day, the 12 boys stuck with it so I appreciate their effort and we’ll go to Kansas next week.”

JOEY LOGANO No. 22 SHELL-PENNZOIL FORD MUSTANG

START: 13TH STAGE ONE: 20TH STAGE TWO: 18TH FINISH: 16TH POINTS: 13TH

RACE RUNDOWN: Joey Logano drove the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Mustang to a 16th-place finish in Sunday afternoon’s Würth 400 at Dover. Logano battled a tight-handling condition after starting the 400-mile event from 13th, resulting in a 20th-place finish in the opening stage. Following a four-tire stop and a round of adjustments at the stage break, Logano settled into 20th during the first green flag run of Stage 2 before he was called to pit road on lap 184 around the halfway point of the segment. The Shell-Pennzoil Ford fired off tight for the final run of the stage as Logano battled to an 18th-place finish in Stage 2. After restarting the final stage from 18th, Logano continued to battle in traffic around the one-mile concrete oval before the green flag pit cycle began around 80 laps to go. Following a four-tire stop under green, Logano was making his way off pit road when the caution flag flew for a single-car incident on the backstretch, trapping the No. 22 team a lap down. After taking the wave-around to rejoin the lead lap, Logano avoided a multi-car incident coming off the exit of turn two on the ensuing restart as he was able to get checked up in time and allowing the 22 team to make another round of adjustments under caution. The ensuing restart proved to be the final one of the afternoon as Logano took the checkered flag 16th.

LOGANO’S THOUGHTS: “We dealt with some handling issues early on and continued working on it throughout the day but we couldn’t regain the track position that we lost during that first run. Proud of the effort from this Shell-Pennzoil team for keeping at it all day long and we’ll see what we have for Kansas.”

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to the Sunflower State next weekend for the AdventHealth 400 on Sunday, May 5 at Kansas Speedway. Coverage begins at 3:00 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

Early Spin and Tire Issues Dampen Day for No. 6 Team

DOVER, D.E. (April 28, 2024) – Dover Motor Speedway served as the 11th points paying race for the NASCAR Cup Series this season, with both RFK Racing drivers looking to build off a strong start to the season

6 Recap
Coming off two straight runner-up finishes (Texas, Talladega), Brad Keselowski and the No. 6 team looked to ride their momentum into a victory at Dover Motor Speedway.

Starting from the 24th position, the BuildSubmarines.com Ford was quick from the start. Keselowski passed 11 cars during the first stage, putting him in the 13th position with just a handful of laps left in stage one. Unfortunately, the No. 6 car would go for a spin while trying to make the pass for 12th with just four laps to go in the stage, putting Keselowski back to 33rd to start stage two, one lap down.

The No. 6 team spent the beginning of stage two fighting to get into the free pass position, hopeful that a caution would come out to get back on the lead lap. The BuildSubmarines.com Ford looked to be making good lap time just before Keselowski made contact with the outside wall after cutting down a right front tire with under 30 laps to go in the stage. The No. 6 team went to work on the suspension of Keselowski’s ride, but his Ford could not be repaired to reach the same strong lap times it had earlier.

Now multiple laps down with a damaged race car, Keselowski would carry the BuildSubmarines.com Ford home to a 30th place finish in Dover.

17 Recap
Buescher had a more uneventful afternoon in the Fastenal Ford, beginning his day from the 18th position.

The Texas native showed speed in the first stage, making his way up to the 14th position when the green-checkered flag flew. Buescher made note that the car was a little tight, so crew chief Scott Graves went to work to make adjustments.

Stage two served uneventful for Buescher, as he would once again finish 14th in the Fastenal Ford.

After struggling during the start of stage three, the No. 17 team made their final pit stop inside of the final 75 laps, chasing down a top-10 finish. After a multi-car incident on lap 329, the race would restart with just over 60 laps remaining. Buescher was able to drive his way to the 17th position to cap off his day at the Monster Mile.

Wolf Motorsports and Co-Drivers Alex Koreiba and James French Win HSR Prototype Challenge Presented by IMSA Race in Atlanta

By

  • Koreiba and French Take Overall and Pro-Am Victory in Two-Hour Race After a Competitive and Controlled Drive in the No. 25 Wolf Motorsports Ligier JS P320
  • Jordan Menzin Solo Drives to Am-Class Victory in Prototype Racing Debut in the No. 18 Performance Tech Motorsports Ligier JS P320

BRASELTON, Georgia (April 28, 2024) – Shaking off the lingering memory of a narrow loss in the season-opening race last month at Sebring International Raceway, Alex Koreiba and James French broke through for a convincing HSR Prototype Challenge presented by IMSA victory in the No. 25 Wolf Motorsports Ligier JS P320 Saturday at the 46th Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) Mitty at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.

The Wolf team and drivers arrived at Michelin Raceway determined to take the victory after being just edged for the win in the inaugural series race in March at Sebring. French was passed for the lead as the field came down for the white flag at Sebring and crossed the finish line in second just 1.682 seconds out of first place.

Saturday night at The HSR Mitty, the No. 25 team controlled the race from the start as Koreiba built a comfortable lead from the pole. Although the winners fell out of the lead as team’s made their mandatory three pit stops, the No. 25 always cycled back to the front and were never challenged on track for the top position.

Wolf’s biggest threat for the win looked like it was going to be Sebring winners Jon Field and Kenton Koch in the No. 37 One Motorsports Ligier JS P3. The No. 37 team’s only laps of the weekend were in Saturday’s race as Field and Koch spent the previous days victoriously competing with the One Motorsports team in Radical Cup competition at nearby Barber Motorsports Park.

Despite the lack of track time, Field steadily worked up through the order after starting last. He charged to the top five just 20 minutes into the race and was in second place at the race’s 45 minute mark. A rematch of Sebring’s fight to the finish appeared to be on, but just minutes later the No. 37 slowed on course unexpectedly when the car ran out of fuel before the team had planned to pit.

The team lost several laps after being towed to the pits and restarting, and after a mid-race stint by Koch, Field and One Motorsports made the decision to retire the No. 37 with no realistic chance of moving up any positions, let alone taking the win.

Second overall and in Pro-Am went to John Reisman who unexpectedly drove solo in the No. 74 Hudson Historics Ligier JS P320 after his professional teammate and driver coach Eric Curran fell ill earlier in the weekend.

Third in Pro-Am and overall went to the family team of brothers Nigel Saurino and Josh Saurino in the No. 57 Ligier JS P3. Both Reisman and the Saurinos battled in the top three for the majority of the race but neither could ever get close enough to challenge the Wolf team for the lead and Pro-Am class win.

The overall and Pro-Am top three was followed to the finish line by Am-class winner Jordan Menzin in his prototype competition debut in the No. 18 Performance Tech Motorsports Ligier JS P320. Menzin crossed the finish line a solid fourth-place overall and was joined in the race’s top five by second-place Am-class finishers Timothy Day and Wyatt Foster in the No. 8 Ligier JS P3.

Third-place Am-class honors went to Tobias Lutke and Travis Hill in the No. 22 TWOth Autosport Ligier JS P3. After an uncontested Am-class win in the Sebring opener, TWOth and its drivers welcomed the competition at Road Atlanta where they left with the Am-class championship points lead.

Next up on the HSR Prototype Challenge presented by IMSA schedule is a 90-minute race part of HSR’s Classic 6 Hour at Watkins Glen International race weekend, June 6 – 9.

James French, Driver – No. 25 Wolf Motorsports Ligier JS P320: “It was a fantastic rebound after Sebring. It was a very stressful last 10 laps at Sebring and this couldn’t have been more different. Alex did a fantastic first stint and we timed a yellow right, so we got a nice cushion there. It gave me a huge lead and the car was just an absolute joy to drive. It was just a matter of bringing it home in one piece and enjoying the ride. We are very happy to see the series growing, absolutely, there is a huge demand for a series like this. They are fantastic cars, super reliable, fast and great to learn in, so it is great to see it grow. We are hoping for even more competition and more teams joining in.”

Kenton Koch, Driver – No. 37 One Motorsports Ligier JS P3: “Jon was doing great. Jon does very well getting through a pack quickly and getting used to a car quickly, and the fact he was able to march his way through the field was pretty awesome. The car was prepped well and pretty quick, but unfortunately, we had the little issue in the beginning when the car ran out of fuel well before we were expecting it to. We also had some communication issues on the radio side, and Jon accidentally went one lap longer than he needed to and we weren’t able to make it back to pit lane. We barely missed it, almost made it back. It hurts, we tried to do our best and get to the end of it but we were too many laps down to really have it make a difference. It was great to see more cars here for this event and hopefully we will see even more cars in the future.”

Jordan Menzin, Driver – No. 18 Performance Tech Motorsports Ligier JS P320: “It was just an awesome experience. The whole thing was just a high-speed blur. I really enjoyed every aspect of it and worked pretty hard in testing and a couple of races in WRL last year. I am just really happy to now be driving this LMP3 car and working with a great team with Performance Tech Motorsports, and I am looking forward to more. I honestly can’t thank everyone on the team enough. They are really amazing to work with, a family run team, and they really care about my development as a driver as a number one priority. The pit stops were great, really smooth and we just made sure to be a little cautious coming down this big hill into pit lane.”

Chris Ward, HSR President: “The Mitty marked another significant growth step in just the second race of the HSR Prototype Challenge presented by IMSA, and we have to thank, as we did after the inaugural race at Sebring International Raceway, the competitors who have joined in and believe in this championship. We had double the cars this weekend at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta than we did for the Sebring opener, and take some pride in the fact that Saturday’s 10 race starters matched the field competing in the IMSA VP Challenge event at Daytona in January. Of course, we will continue to work tirelessly in bringing additional top teams and drivers to the championship, but we leave Atlanta pleased with the additional progress and look forward to even more. We are already looking forward to the next round at Watkins Glen International in early June.”

Hydrofacial Therapy: Elevating Skincare to New Heights

By

In the realm of skincare, where innovation knows no bounds, hydrofacial therapy has emerged as a cutting-edge treatment for achieving radiant and revitalized skin. This advanced procedure combines the benefits of exfoliation, deep cleansing, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant infusion to address a wide range of skincare concerns effectively. Let’s delve into what hydrofacial therapy entails, how it’s performed, the different types available, and the remarkable effects it can have on the skin.

Understanding Hydrofacial Therapy

Hydrofacial therapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment that utilizes a patented technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and infuse customized serums into the skin. Unlike traditional facials, which may rely on manual extraction or harsh exfoliants, hydrofacial therapy uses a gentle yet powerful vortex suction system to deeply cleanse and hydrate the skin, leaving it looking brighter, smoother, and more youthful.

How is it Carried Out?

The hydrofacial therapy procedure typically consists of several steps performed in a single session:

  1. Cleansing and Exfoliation: The treatment begins with the application of a gentle cleanser to remove any makeup, dirt, and impurities from the skin’s surface. Next, a specialized hydropeel tip is used to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing a smoother complexion.
  2. Acid Peel: A blend of gentle acids, such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid, is applied to the skin to further exfoliate and loosen impurities from the pores.
  3. Extraction: The hydrofacial device utilizes a unique vortex suction system to extract blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities from the pores without causing discomfort or irritation.
  4. Hydration and Infusion: Customized serums containing hydrating ingredients, antioxidants, and peptides are infused into the skin using the same hydrofacial device. These serums penetrate deep into the skin, hydrating, nourishing, and protecting the complexion.
  5. Protection: The treatment concludes with the application of a moisturizer and sunscreen to protect the skin from environmental damage and maintain hydration.

Types of Hydrofacial Treatments

While the basic steps of hydrofacial therapy remain consistent, variations may exist depending on the skincare clinic and the specific needs of the individual. Some aesthetic clinic in Kuala Lumpur may offer add-on treatments such as LED light therapy, oxygen infusion, or lymphatic drainage massage to further enhance the results of hydrofacial therapy.

The Effects of Hydrofacial Therapy on the Skin

Hydrofacial therapy offers a multitude of benefits for the skin:

  • Deep Cleansing: The vortex suction system effectively removes impurities, excess oil, and debris from the pores, leaving the skin clean and refreshed.
  • Exfoliation: Gentle exfoliation helps to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity by promoting cell turnover and removing dead skin cells.
  • Hydration: Customized serums infused into the skin deliver potent hydrating ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, to replenish moisture levels and restore a healthy glow.
  • Nourishment: Antioxidants, peptides, and other nourishing ingredients found in hydrofacial serums help to protect the skin from environmental damage and promote collagen production, resulting in a firmer and more youthful-looking complexion.
  • Immediate Results: Hydrofacial therapy provides instant gratification, with many patients noticing visible improvements in skin tone, texture, and radiance immediately after treatment.

In conclusion, hydrofacial therapy offers a gentle yet effective solution for achieving radiant and revitalized skin. Whether you’re looking to address dullness, congestion, dehydration, or signs of aging, this advanced skincare treatment can help you achieve your skincare goals. With its combination of deep cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and infusion, hydrofacial therapy provides a pampering and results-driven approach to skincare, leaving you with a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion.

Sunday speedway races were state-sponsored events held in massive stadiums built for the purpose during the Soviet era. One of the causes of the sport’s enormous success in Poland was that Poles had access to higher calibre facilities than anybody else.In the Speedway community, there is a place for everyone, be it as a spectator, volunteer, or competitor or just for recreational riding. It’s time to go on a motorcycle, find someone online in Poland who is interested in the same things you are, make friends for life, and enjoy the ride. Take off on a motorcycle adventure right now!

Regarding Speedway racing 

With a rich and lengthy history, it is well-liked in Poland. The sport became well-liked in Poland at the beginning of the 20th century and swiftly became the most popular pastime there. Stadiums host speedway racing, which draws enormous, ardent audiences. The sport’s popularity is increased by radio and television broadcasts as well.

In Poland, motor speedways are favoured. When lockdown regulations meant there was nowhere for them to go in the stadium, intrepid supporters of their club ascended to the sky in cherry pickers to watch. Motor Lublin supporter Michal Kwiatkowski tells about the thrill of witnessing his team from above. The Polish squad has three victories(2009, 2010,2011) in international speedway racing. This is so impressive.

Poland’s Speedway History 

The Polish had a handful of international superstars after being initially exposed to the sport in the 1930s. People like Rune Holta, Andrzej Huszcza, and Tomasz Gollob are well-known in the Speedway. There are several Polish leagues; the most well-known, attracting international talent, is the Ekstraliga. The “richest and most popular speedway league in the world” is another title bestowed upon it. The Polish supporters also like it, regularly drawing sizable live audiences who enthusiastically support both teams and players.

Poland’s Speedway Grand Prix 

2023 Poland’s Orlen FIM Speedway Grand Prix Warsaw Heat 21: Speedway Grand Prix of Poland, May 13, 2023. This motor race is a part of the Speedway Grand Prix World Championship. Because of the sport’s popularity, there are currently three rounds. There were four events in 2022. They situate at Warsaw, Gorzów, Wrocław, and Toruń. Other host cities include Lublin and Bydgoszcz.

The two Polish internet racers with the online in Poland wins are brothers who compete in speedway racing. There have been nine wins for Bartosz Zmarzlik in this tournament. In addition, Zmarzlik holds individual titles as the World Champion four times, the World Under-21 Champion, the Polish Champion, and the winner of the GP Challenge. In 2020, Zmarkzlik became the second speedway racer to earn the Polish Sports Personality of the Year title.

Tomasz Gollob participated in every series from 1995 to 2013 and won the Speedway Grand Prix of Poland eight times. In addition, he won four World Cups. Many Polish Speedway Grand Prix spectators like going to a reputable casino following the day’s racing. Naturally, this will depend on the location of the Grand Prix, but Warsaw or Krakow will have the best odds.

Furthermore, Eleven Poland has an agreement that expires in 2022 to broadcast Formula One in the nation. One of the most famous sports in Poland is speedway racing, with the top-level Polish Ekstraliga having the largest average attendance of any national sport. 

Eleven Poland’s chief operations officer, Patryk Mirosławski, stated, “Top-level Speedway is very popular in Poland. And the Swedish league will be an important reinforcement of our programming offer.”When paired with PGE Ekstraliga, we can provide Speedway to our fans three evenings per week throughout the regular season.” There is a two-season run agreement.

Motorbike racetrack 

The west of Poland is a hotspot for this unusual auto activity. The taste of shale in their mouths is so addicting that cities like Zielona Gora and Gorzów Wielkopolski depend on it (the stuff goes everywhere during the race!). You may try your hand at a genuine race; the Polish Motor Speedway League is among the finest in Europe when the teams representing Zielona Gora (Falubas) and Gorzów Wielkopolski (also known as Stalowka) are playing against one another. Their competition is already well-known. And they manage to get under each other’s skin in unusual ways. For instance, in 2011, following their victory in the Polish championship, Falubas supporters adorned the statue of Jesus Christ in Swiebodzin, which stands 36 metres tall, with a 40-metre-long hand-knit scarf in their colours.

Last Words on Polish Motorsport

Motorsport events in Poland have great popularity. The nation’s passion for thrilling sports is evident.  However, the thrill doesn’t end at the finish line. After the race, many Polish racing enthusiasts like to visit an online sportsbook or casino to continue the party. There is no denying that the nation truly adores excitement.

Hamlin holds off Larson in the Würth 400 NASCAR Cup Series race for second Monster Mile win

By
Official Release
-

Denny Hamlin won his second career Monster Trophy when he dominated the final stage on his way to a victory in the Würth 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday.

Driving the No. 11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, Hamlin notched his third win of the year and 54th of his career, tying him on NASCAR’s all-time wins list with NASCAR Hall of Famer Lee Petty.

“This whole Joe Gibbs Racing team – thank you to them,” said Hamlin after waving the checkered flag on the frontstretch. “It certainly feels good to win here at Dover.

“I couldn’t hold Lee Petty’s helmet. I’ve been blessed with a great team. I’m the lucky one who gets to drive it.”

Kyle Larson finished second, while defending race winner Martin Truex Jr. was third, pole winner Kyle Busch was fourth and Chase Elliott placed fifth.

Truex won Stage One but lost the lead midway through the second stage and then suffered slight front-end damage.

“They all pounced on us and we lost control of the race,” said Truex, who led 69 laps. “Then I got the nose damage. Feel like we let one get away today. You can’t lose control of these races mid-stage like that. The track changes, you get behind. Overall, a good day. Just keep working on it.”

Larson closed to within two-tenths of a second in the final 10 laps but couldn’t get even with the race winner.

“This car was really good on short runs,” said Larson, who led 39 laps. “I could pace it and get closer to him. It’s so easy as the leader at a place like this to shut the air off behind you. Nothing could generate enough speed to get close enough to do anything.

“Still a great day. Got another stage win. Good points day. We would have loved to get a win. We’ll try to get better.”

Hamlin was sixth after Stage One and third after Stage Two but won the battle off pit road from there. All of Hamlin’s race-high 136 laps led came in the final stage.

“I felt like my car was so much better on the short runs,” Hamlin said. “[Kyle] certainly made it much more interesting than I wanted. Kyle Larson is a hard guy to beat.

“We’re in the groove right now for sure. You feel like you want to celebrate these because you just never know if it’s your last or anything like that. I’m just so focused this season on getting a lot of wins, trying to move that tally up as high as I can.”

Among other notables, defending NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney was seventh, past Dover winner Alex Bowman was eighth, and 11-time Dover champion Jimmie Johnson finished 28th, five laps down.

Hamlin averaged 119.433 mph around the high-banked, one-mile oval, completing the 400 laps/miles in 3 hours, 20 minutes, 57 seconds. Five caution periods consumed 42 laps, with nine drivers leading at least one lap and 17 finishing on the lead lap.

NASCAR Top-10 Power Rankings: Dover

Note: The quotes in this article are fictional.

1. Denny Hamlin: Hamlin led 136 laps and held off Kyle Larson down the stretch to win the Wurth 400, his third victory of the season.

“As I like to say after a win,'” Hamlin said, “‘I just beat your favorite driver.’ I don’t know who your favorite driver is, but I’m pretty sure it’s not me.”

2. Kyle Larson: Larson won Stage 2 at Dover and chased Denny Hamlin for the lead late, to no avail. Larson settled for the runner-up spot and still leads the Cup points standings.

“I plan to run the Indy 500-Coca-Cola 600 double on May 26th,” Larson said. “Tony Stewart is the only driver to successfully complete all 1,100 miles, and I believe he lost the equivalent of my body weight in doing so.”

3. Chase Elliott: Elliott finished fifth at Dover.

“Things have been quiet at the Dawsonville Pool Room since I won at Texas,” Elliott said. “When I won there a few weeks ago, it snapped a 42-race winless streak. That siren at the Pool Room hasn’t gone off a lot lately, so when it does, it’s pretty alarming.”

4. William Byron: Byron was strong early at Dover, but his day was derailed when his car fell off the jack on a lap 182 pit stop. The 24-second stop dropped Byron well back in the field and he finished 33rd.

“That’s what you call a real ‘drop off’ in performance,” Byron said. “And that wasn’t the end of my bad luck. I was collected in an accident on Lap 329 that ended my day. At that point, our chances of winning were basically done. And if anyone knows what it’s like to be on the outside looking in, it’s Jerry Falwell Jr.”

5. Martin Truex Jr.: Truex won Stage 1 at Dover and finished third.

“Unlike some races this season,” Truex said, “this was an exciting race. This race had everything one would expect from a NASCAR race: exciting racing, lead changes, crucial accidents, and Jimmie Johnson finishing at least one lap down. It also had something you wouldn’t expect, which is both a Family Dollar and a Dollar Tree car in the same race.”

6. Tyler Reddick: Reddick came home 11th at Dover.

“‘Miles The Monster’ is one of the most iconic trophies in motorsports racing,” Reddick said. “It’s also taller than me.”

7. Ty Gibbs: Gibbs finished 10th at Dover as Joe Gibbs Racing placed three cars in the top 10 as Denny Hamlin took the win.

“Toyota has won five races this season,” Gibbs said. “Chevrolet has won six. And Ford? They like to think they’re zeroing in on a win.”

8. Alex Bowman: Bowman finished eighth in the Wurth 400.

“Corey Heim drove the No. 43 Toyota for the injured Erik Jones,” Bowman said. “He’s not to be confused with Corey Haim, because he’s dead.”

9. Ryan Blaney: Blaney finished seventh in the Wurth 400, earning his fifth top 10 of the season.

“Ford is still looking for its first win this season,” Blaney said. “Currently, ‘Ford’ stands for ‘Feeling Ourselves Really Desperate.'”

10. Ross Chastain: Chastain finished 12th at Dover.

“I’ve realized that Indy Car is a lot like NASCAR,” Chastain said. “If you get caught cheating in Indy Car, you do the same thing you would do in NASCAR, and that’s deny you even knew you were cheating.”

Quotes:

BRITTANY FORCE, DRIVER OF THE HENDRICKCARS.COM CHEVROLET TOP FUEL DRAGSTER:

ON FALLING SHORT WITH SEMIFINAL LOSS: “I’m staying very positive. We had a good race day. We struggled during qualifying and we turned things around today.

“I’ve made a little bit of progress in reaction time. You could see it in qualifying and you saw it on race day. That last run (Round 2), it was a long tree and you’re waiting for three other people and it’s a long time to be sitting there staring at that Christmas tree and I double-stepped.

“I’m not holding my head about it. I know what I did wrong and I’m focusingon the improvement and not the negative, and I’m moving forward to Chicago with that.”

SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO WIN TODAY: “I honestly thought it was going to happen today. I feel like we’re definitely making a lot of big moves and moving in the right direction. I could taste the win today. I felt like we were going to get there, but unfortunately it was an early day for us.”

ON SPONSORSHIP WITH HENDRICKCARS.COM: “I’m excited to move forward with them,” Brittany Force said of the relationship with HendrickCars.com. “They seem very happy and excited on their end and we want to make them proud. We want to go rounds and we want to land them in the winner’s circle.

“We’re proud to be teamed up with them. Hendrick is such a huge name and a legend in motorsports and we’re glad to have them in the Top Fuel category.”

AUSTIN PROCK, DRIVER OF THE CORNWELL TOOLS CHEVROLET CAMARO SS FUNNY CAR:

“This car really hasn’t struggled much at all this year. We struggled on Friday and got it turned around on Saturday and made some really nice runs. Like my dad told me as a kid, you’re going to lose a lot more than you’re going to win.

“We haven’t lost much this year but it definitely sting, but we have 15 more shots at this year. We’re looking forward to Chicago. I think we’ll pick up right where we we’ve been and we’ll be just fine.

“Still a good outing for John Force Racing. We’ve got three really good JFR race cars right now and we’re going to be tough all year. We’ve been in the final round as a team every race this year so far, so it’s something to be proud about and we’ll chalk this one up and go to the next one.”

ON MAINTAINING POINTS LEAD:

“I don’t think I’ve ever held the points lead this long, so that’s something to be proud about. This team is just doing a great job. When we falter, we just come back and attack and everything seems to work out.

“You’re only as good as your last run and we go back and prove that. It’s been a great year. You can’t hang your head too hard going out first round. That’s drag racing, you never know what’s going to happen. Today wasn’t our day but maybe next race will.”

JOHN FORCE, DRIVER OF THE PEAK CHEVROLET CAMARO SS FUNNY CAR:

“It was a good week, it was good to take the track record,” Force said. “We were able to go rounds, but I couldn’t close it at the end.

“I had the car to win with, in my opinion, and I just didn’t get the job done.”
