Chastain and Gragson trade blows on pit road

What started as a heated discussion devolved into a punching match.

As Denny Hamlin celebrated his victory, Sunday, in the Advent Health 400, Noah Gragson approached Ross Chastain to chew him out. He grabbed him and the talk continued, until Chastain connected with his left cheek.

“There’s no talking to the guy,” Gragson told Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports, after the scuffle.

It ceased just as quickly as it started, after multiple officials swarmed them both to break up the fight.

“Sucks that they all get involved,” he said. “Just let us two work it out and finish it off.”

This stems from an incident during the race, in which Chastain put Gragson into the wall off Turn 4. Based on Gragson’s comments, post-race, it happened somewhere between Lap 200 and 210.

“Yeah, definitely crowded him up off of (Turn) 4, and he took a swipe at us in 3, and then he came down and grabbed a hold of me, and a very big man once told me we have a no-push policy here at Trackhouse,” Chastain said.

Gragson adds his name to the growing list of drivers displeased with Chastain’s aggressive style of racing. Most famous of which is Hamlin, who spent several laps, last season, at Gateway to put on some fun-dumb racing with him. Then again at The Clash and climaxed a few weeks later at Phoenix.

As for Gragson, it wasn’t the first time, either.

“He did the same thing after Talladega on the plane and nothing happened,” Chastain told Jeff Gluck of The Athletic.

Only this time, Gragson was tired of nobody confronting Chastain.

“The guy just runs into everyone,” he said. “When you’ve got guys like Chase Elliott saying, ‘Go beat his ass,’ everyone is sick and tired of him and nobody has the balls to go up and get him.”

What repercussions this leads to for Chastain, down the road, only time will tell. For now, however, he leaves Kansas with a 27-point lead over Christopher Bell.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing prepares for intense gravel workout

Toyota City, Japan, May 8, 2023 – (JCN Newswire) – TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team is preparing to enter a crucial run of gravel events as the closely-contested 2023 season continues at the popular Rally de Portugal on May 11-14.

Portugal marks the first of seven consecutive events on gravel, a sequence that will stretch through to the start of October and pose a wide variety of challenges for the teams and drivers. TGR-WRT drivers head up a close championship battle after four rounds: following his win last time out on the asphalt roads of Croatia, Elfyn Evans is tied on points at the top of the table with Sebastien Ogier (who does not include Portugal in his programme of selected events this year) while Kalle Rovanpera is just one point behind them. The top five are covered by only 11 points.

TGR-WRT has a strong recent record in Portugal, winning the last three editions, with Evans and then Rovanpera victorious in each of the last two years. For the second time this season, Takamoto Katsuta steps up to join them in the main TGR-WRT line-up and compete for manufacturers’ championship points on a rally where he has also performed strongly before.

The Rally de Portugal was part of the first WRC season held 50 years ago, and is based in the north of the country around the second-largest city of Porto with the service park located in nearby Matosinhos. Large numbers of passionate fans can be expected to line the stages, which are fast but technical in nature. The surface is usually soft and sandy at first but often becomes rocky and rutted for the second pass, although the often-changeable weather can bring a different complexion.

As in recent years, the central city of Coimbra will host the ceremonial start on Thursday evening, before the action starts nearby on Friday with a trio of stages tackled twice around a mid-day tyre fitting zone in Arganil. A single pass of the Mortagua stage and a new super special stage in the coastal city of Figueira da Foz round out the day. Saturday is the longest day of the rally featuring 148.68 competitive kilometres: a repeated loop of three stages in the Cabreira mountains includes the longest stage of the season so far, Amarante (37.24 km), while another super special stage at the Lousada rallycross circuit runs in the evening. Sunday, as usual, is centred around the famous Fafe stage; venue for two of the final four tests including the rally-ending Power Stage.

Quotes:

Jari-Matti Latvala (Team Principal)
“We are in a good position in the championship but it is still extremely close, particularly between the drivers, and we have to keep working in a positive way to achieve more great results. Portugal is a rally that on one hand you can attack, but on the other hand, you also have to take care with the tyre wear and avoid hitting rocks, especially on the second pass. It’s a rally I always enjoyed as a driver and I believe our drivers enjoy it too: Elfyn and Kalle have both won there and it has been a strong event for Takamoto too. We feel quite confident going there as we have made good improvements to the GR YARIS Rally1 HYBRID on gravel, which paid off already in Mexico. We worked to build on this during our recent test in Sardinia, which was important preparation for the three rough gravel rallies we have coming in quick succession over the next few weeks.”

Kalle Rovanper? (Driver car 69)
“I’m really happy to be going back to Portugal. It has always been an event that I have liked quite a lot, and last year we were able to win it even though we were starting as the first car on the road. It’s a rally that as drivers we all know fairly well with some legendary stages, so the pace is always high and it should be quite an equal fight. The start of our year has not been perfect – I was aiming for bigger results – but we are still very much in this close championship fight: I don’t think it has been so tight after four rounds for a very long time. This series of gravel events will not be easy but we’re going to continue to push hard and hopefully get good results.”

Elfyn Evans (Driver car 33)
“Portugal is a nice rally but in recent years it has also become quite a rough one. There are sections which are really fast and flowing and fun to drive, and others where it’s a challenge to look after the tyres and the car. It’s definitely a mixed rally in that sense, but it’s one that I enjoy. We’re into a busy period now with rallies coming thick and fast, and Portugal is the start of a string of gravel events. Now that we were successful in Croatia we will have the job of opening the road, but I’m sure that is something that is going to swing back and forth between the drivers a few times over the next rallies. We will just have to try and maximise our performance in the loose conditions we will face on Friday and see what’s possible.”

Takamoto Katsuta (Driver car 18)
“I’m really looking forward to Portugal. In the last two years I finished fourth there, and last year especially I was very close to the podium. In the end, I wasn’t able to take it – we missed out by just two seconds – so this year I will try to achieve that. It will be a big challenge, but I think it’s possible. The beginning of this year has not been what I wanted, but I have always had a good feeling with the car. It’s developing every single time and we had a good test, so hopefully our hard work pays off for these next rallies. In Portugal I like the stages and I feel very comfortable there, so I just need to push myself and I’m sure we can have a good weekend.”

MAX VERSTAPPEN MASTERCLASS AT THE FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2023

  • Red Bull’s Max Verstappen makes a dramatic late-race pass on his team-mate Sergio Perez to take a thrilling victory from ninth on the grid
  • A sell-out crowd of 270,491 fans across three days as celebrities from the world of music, film and sport including Roger Federer, Serena and Venus Williams, Vin Diesel, Tom Cruise and the Jonas Brothers all appear on the starting grid before the race
  • LL COOL J introduces all 20 F1 drivers ahead of the start accompanied by Will.I.Am, while fans across the entire Campus enjoy the best food and entertainment Miami has to offer

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – From ninth on the starting grid, Max Verstappen delivered a driving masterclass to take a thrilling win in today’s FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX. In front of a sell-out crowd, the Red Bull ace came through the field to overtake his team-mate Sergio Perez with just nine laps to go. As the pair went wheel-to-wheel at Turn 1 on lap 48, the crowd leapt to their feet to celebrate. It was a thrilling end to the second-ever Formula 1 race held at the state-of-the-art Miami International Autodrome.

Verstappen’s 38th victory in his career and his second in Miami Gardens extended the Dutchman’s lead over his team-mate Perez at the top of the FIA Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championship to 14 points. His performance was particularly impressive given his starting position of ninth on the grid. Max chose to start on the hard tyre, the majority ahead of him began on mediums, meaning he ran longer into the race before making his pitstop.

“It was a good, clean race and I picked off the cars one by one,” said the reigning World Champion. “I could stay out long on the hard tyres and that made the difference today. I then had a good little battle with ‘Checo’ at the end but the most important thing is that we kept it clean. To win from P9 is extremely satisfying — a great win today.”

Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso joined the Red Bull pair on the podium to record his fourth top-three finish of the season ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell. Behind them Carlos Sainz finished fifth, but his final classification included a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pitlane.

Throughout the 57-lap event there was action up and down the field with drivers running on alternate tyre strategies and taking advantage of the Drag Reduction System (DRS) ensuring there was plenty of overtaking action at three main areas: Turn 1, Turn 11 and at the end of the back straight into Turn 17. The quality of the racing and the excellent reliability meant all 20 cars made the chequered flag — with South Florida’s very own Logan Sargeant the final runner to finish the race.

The overtaking action was so good, that at one stage Fernando Alonso came across on his team radio to complement a move his team-mate Lance Stroll had made late in the race, having watched the pass on one of the circuit’s big screens as he was driving around the track. Alonso started the race on the medium Pirelli compound and made his one and only pitstop on lap 25, four laps after Perez. When the time came for Verstappen to finally stop to change his hard compound tyres (at the end of lap 45) he emerged just 1.5s behind his team-mate. Despite a spirited attempt from Perez to hold Verstappen back, the decisive move for the lead of the race took place into Turn 1 on lap 48.

In addition to the exciting action on the track, the sell-out crowd was treated to a full day of entertainment at the Miami International Autodrome. There was music from award-winning DJs Tiësto and Cedric Gervais headlining at the Hard Rock Beach Club, and FISHER performed a set to round out the weekend after the podium celebrations. There were also pre-grid performances from bilingual Latin girl group Bella Dose, while the national anthem was sung by chart topping Puerto Rican singer and songwriter, GALE. The pre-race grid ceremonies were a new feature for 2023 with LL COOL J announcing each of the 20 drivers in turn, conducted by Will.I.Am and attended by the F1 Grid Kids, hailing from the local Miami Gardens community.

“It has been a fantastic weekend, an incredible race day and I’m proud of the entire team who have worked so hard to put together this year’s event,” said Tom Garfinkel, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium and Managing Partner of the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2023. “Thanks to Stephen Ross and the hard work of so many people on our team, we were able to deliver an event that showcased Miami to the world and stayed true to our commitment of improving from Year 1 to Year 2. It is our goal to provide a best-in-class experience for everyone, from the guests enjoying the new Paddock Club, to the fans around the Campus soaking up the atmosphere, to the teams enjoying their new home on the field of Hard Rock Stadium. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back next year and celebrate another weekend of great racing together.”

Buescher Finishes 17th at Kansas Speedway

Body Guard Ford Earns Stage Two Points in Hectic 400 Miles

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (May 7, 2023) – Chris Buescher fought to a 17th-place finish Sunday at Kansas, earning stage two points along the way, in a 400 mile race that saw 11 caution flags throughout the afternoon.

Buescher just missed out on advancing to the final round in Saturday’s qualifying session, putting him 14th on the grid for Sunday. An early yellow – one of 11 that spanned 57 laps – was displayed just five laps in, before a green-flag cycle ran the stage out to lap 80. Buescher finished it in 18th after a pair of pit stops early, and lined up 17th on the restart.

Stage two saw a total of five cautions as Buescher methodically worked his way through the top-15. He was fifth on a restart with three laps remaining in the stage, and eventually finished sixth, earning valuable stage points.

He fired off 24th for the final stage restart after a pit stop, but was 18th just a few laps later with 91 to go. From there, three more cautions were displayed with the final coming at lap 215, before Buescher brought the Body Guard Fastenal Mustang home in 17th.

Darlington Raceway is on deck next weekend, with race coverage Sunday set for 3 p.m. ET. TV coverage will be on FS1 with radio coverage on MRN and SiriusXM Channel 90.

Keselowski Finishes 19th in Kansas

King’s Hawaiian Ford Battles Back from Early Deficit

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (May 7, 2023) – Brad Keselowski drove to a 19th-place finish Sunday in the King’s Hawaiian Ford at Kansas Speedway in a race with 11 different caution flags across 400 miles.

Keselowski, a two-time winner in Kansas, put the No. 6 20th on the grid following Saturday’s qualifying session. After a quick yellow just five laps in, a strategy call in the race’s first green-flag pit cycle kept the No. 6 on track for most of the opening stage, before he eventually pitted with 15 laps remaining in the segment.

Keselowski took the wave around in the stage two break and stayed out, putting him 21st and back on the lead lap to begin the second stage of 105 laps. In total five cautions flew in that stage alone with the King’s Hawaiian team taking multiple opportunities to make adjustments on the front end. Two yellows alone were displayed in the final 10 laps of the stage, with Keselowski ultimately finishing it 12th.

Stage three saw four yellow flags with the last coming out with 48 laps to go, ad Keselowski was scored 13th at the time and went on to finish 19th.

Racing action continues next weekend at Darlington Raceway. Race coverage on Sunday is set for 3 p.m. ET on FS1, with radio coverage on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Why You Should Own a Pickup Truck This Spring

Even in the middle of the most populated cities, people are at times surprised to see how many truck owners there are. The truth is that people enjoy driving pickup trucks so much that there is a constant trend towards high pickup truck sales. In fact, for those reasons, purchasing a pickup truck is a great way to cut costs. Here are four reasons for purchasing a truck this Spring!

Safety

Pickup trucks are very safe vehicles because they are big vehicles with great options for better control. A pickup truck will be your best option if you’re worried about your safety and the safety of your family while driving on icy winter roads in Mississauga.

For those who need a vehicle that can handle more than just daily commutes and light hauling, exploring heavy duty wreckers for sale becomes an enticing option. These trucks are designed to withstand the toughest conditions and can be a game-changer for businesses or individuals with heavy-duty towing and recovery needs.

Versatility

Because pickup trucks are such a versatile form of transportation, there are always a few more you’ve probably never even thought about, even though you may be most proud of one or two aspects of your vehicle. One of the main causes of this is that pickups are adaptable automobiles that work well in urban, rural, and a variety of other environments.

Similar to Toronto, Mississauga is a multifaceted city that offers everything that the majority of Canada’s major cities have to offer while also being close to farms and rural areas. Furthermore, living in Mississauga will give you easier access to recently released vehicles.

Although trucks work well in both cities and the countryside, cities have a wider selection due to their higher population density. When you shop in a big city like Mississauga, you have a better chance of finding the pick-up truck model you prefer at a lower cost.

Visit a Ram dealership to get advice on the newest trucks, like the Dodge Ram 1500 for sale in Mississauga if you’d like to learn more about the many advantages of owning a pickup truck.

Ability to Tow

No matter how much you enjoy driving your truck and flaunting it to your loved ones, you can’t ignore its more useful features. In fact, these are some of the easiest features to highlight when talking about your truck. Few features of a pickup truck’s functionality are as important as its ability to tow.

Your engine’s ability to support the weight and strain of anything you can attach to your trailer hitch is referred to as your vehicle’s towing capacity. Boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles may be among them.

Value at Resale

Popularity isn’t the only factor you should take into account when looking for a new mode of transportation, but it will help with resale value. Consider how many pickup trucks are already in use by drivers all over the world if you’re worried about how easily you’ll be able to sell your vehicle in the future.

Consider a pickup truck if you’re searching for a fantastic vehicle in Mississauga. Today, test drive a pickup truck at a nearby dealership to discover how much you’ll adore your brand-new vehicle.

The Perks of Giving Your Car a Ceramic Coating

Anyone who treasures their vehicle knows the value of keeping their prized automobile in its best shape. It’s about more than just looks; it’s about protecting that precious investment and ensuring it runs smoothly for the long haul. One of the best ways to do this is by applying a ceramic coating to the car.

Sure, the usual wash and wax routine helps to get rid of dirt, muck, and unsightly stains. But let’s be real, that’s just a temporary fix. After only a few days back on the road, all that gunk returns, bringing along those unsightly swirl marks that come from frequent car washes.

That’s where the magic of ceramic coating on cars steps in. It doesn’t just improve the car’s appearance; it offers a whole new level of protection. With so many benefits to be had, it’s no wonder that ceramic coating is a go-to choice for those who truly care for their vehicles.

Ceramic Coating Explained  

This protective layer is applied to various surfaces, including car exteriors, boats, aircraft, and building exteriors. Made of a liquid polymer, it chemically bonds to the surface, forming a tough, defensive barrier that resists scratches, chemicals, UV rays, and extreme temperatures.

Not only does it protect stuff from getting damaged, but it can also make things look better by adding a shiny, fancy finish by every car detailing services provider. Plus, it’s got this neat quality called the hydrophobic effect, which makes water form beads and roll right off, keeping cars stain-free.

People appreciate car ceramic coating NZ because it keeps the paint looking fresh and stops it from chipping, offering long-lasting protection against the elements. It’s also great for boats and planes to protect them from rust and weather damage. It keeps the outside looking nice for buildings by shielding it from pollution, UV rays, and all that other nasty stuff.

Ceramic Coating Perks 

Ceramic coating certainly is a popular choice for protecting a car’s paint. As per the advice of experts in ceramic coating in Longmont, CO, here are a few reasons why one should consider getting a coat for their car:

 1. Keeping Nature at Bay     

Cars face all kinds of trouble from the outdoors, like UV rays, acid rain, bird mess, and tree sap. These things can hurt your car’s paint, but ceramic coating adds a layer of protection to keep it safe.

 2. Scratch Defense 

Scratches and swirl marks on a car’s surface are a pain. They come from all sorts of things, like bad washing, road junk, or the weather. Ceramic coatings are tough against scratches, so your car’s surface stays looking good.

 3. Easy Upkeep 

One of the best things about ceramic coating is how simple it is to maintain. Once it’s on, it makes the car’s surface repel water, so it beads up and rolls right off. That means it’s a breeze to clean since dirt doesn’t stick around.

 4. Lasts a Good Long While 

Unlike wax and other protectors that need regular touch-ups, ceramic coatings can last for years with the right care. So you can enjoy that shiny protection without always having to reapply.

 5. Shiny as a Diamond 

Ceramic coatings smooth out your car’s surface, making it reflect light better. That means your ride will have a brighter, more eye-catching look that stands out from the crowd.

 6. Stands Up to Chemicals 

Cars face all sorts of chemicals, from winter road salt to harsh cleaners. Ceramic coatings can hold up against these things, keeping your car looking pretty and free of damage.

 7. Don’t Sweat the Heat 

If you live where it’s hot and humid or drive in high temps, ceramic coatings help protect your car’s paint from sun damage. That means less fading and cracking.

8. More Value for Your Effort

If you’re thinking of selling your car down the line, a ceramic coating helps keep it looking sharp and protected from damage. This can raise your car’s resale value, which is just one more reason to consider ceramic coating.

Even if you’re not planning to sell, ceramic coating is still a smart move. It’s a great way to keep your car looking its best for years to come.

Is it worth the trouble? 

Well, in a lot of ways, it sure is. Ceramic coatings offer many benefits that can make your car more valuable in the long run. It’s easy to maintain, so you can spend more time driving and enjoying your ride instead of worrying about protecting it.

Now do note that even though a ceramic coating gives you all sorts of benefits, it can’t be used for every one of your paint problems. There might be other options that better suit your car’s needs. That being said, ceramic coating is widely known as one of the top car paint protection choices.

The Bottom Line   

Even with all the good things about ceramic coating, it isn’t a substitute for regular car care. You’ll still need to wash your car often and be careful to avoid scratches and other surface damage. Ceramic coating adds some extra armor, but it’s not a magic fix to keep your ride safe from everything.

If you’re considering getting ceramic coating for your car, do your homework and find a reputable auto detailing shop. This isn’t a DIY project; it’s best to let the pros handle it so you can truly enjoy all the benefits ceramic coating offers.

What are custom golf carts?

Custom golf carts are modified golf carts that have been designed and tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the owner. A custom golf cart can be fitted with various accessories, features, and designs that make it unique and personalized to the owner’s liking. These modifications can include things like custom paint jobs, upgraded wheels, sound systems, and even custom seating arrangements.

The customization options for golf carts are endless, and every modification is tailored to the owner’s specific needs. Custom golf carts are not only limited to golf courses but can also be used for personal transportation around communities, parks, and even farms.

At South Florida Golf Carts, we offer a wide range of customization options for golf carts, allowing you to design and create a golf cart that is perfect for your needs.

Owning a custom golf cart comes with several benefits, both on and off the golf course. Firstly, custom golf carts can be fitted with features that enhance the golfing experience, such as specialized storage for golf clubs and bags, built-in coolers, and even GPS systems to help navigate the course.

Custom golf carts can also be used for personal transportation around communities, parks, and farms. They are a great eco-friendly alternative to traditional gas-powered vehicles and offer a convenient way to get around without the need for a driver’s license.
