Jonsin, Long and Sandberg Raced No. 9 “No Limits” Aston Martin Vantage GT4 Alongside Automatic Racing Regulars Rob Ecklin and Ramin Abdolvahabi in the No. 09 Stoner Car Care Aston Martin Vantage GT4 at IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Daytona Opener

Jonsin’s First IMSA Action in Seven Years Coincides with Release of Motorsport-Inspired Album “Fueled By 808 Vol.1” Featuring a Song Unveiled at Each 2023 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Race

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (February 2, 2023) – Automatic Racing and co-drivers Jim Jonsin, Tom Long and Brett Sandberg scored a competitive top-five finish Friday in the season-opening IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge four-hour race at Daytona International Speedway in the No. 9 “No Limits” Aston Martin Vantage GT4. The solid result in the top-tier Grand Sport (GS) class marked a successful return of the flagship Rebel Rock Productions program and Jonsin after a seven-year absence from IMSA competition.

“This is like a big victory for all of us,” Jonsin said. “You have to pinch me! I couldn’t believe some of the driving I was dealing with out there. This series has incredibly talented drivers. Racing amongst those folks out there was very challenging and awesome. It was a privilege to be able to get up front like that and then hand off the car nice and clean to Brett and watch him do his thing. Ending it off by watching Tom get in the car and finish with a P5 was indescribable. The ‘No Limits’ Aston Martin Vantage GT4 prepared by Automatic Racing has been amazing.”

It was an important week on and off the track for Jonsin, an accomplished and Grammy Award winning record producer, songwriter, DJ and music industry businessman. Friday also saw the release of his latest song, “No Limits,” featuring Kid Rock, Jimmie Allen and Austin Mahone and Striking Matches. Jonsin plans to release one song at each round of the 2023 Michelin Pilot Challenge for a season-long, 10-track collaboration featuring various artists. A complete album of the season’s songs, Fueled by 808 Vol. 1, will be released at the end of the year through Jonsin and Rebel Rock Productions on the EMPIRE label.

Russell is a long-time IMSA, GRAND-AM and international sports car racing competitor as both a team owner and driver. Friday’s top-five finish was the best GS showing for Automatic Racing, which is based in nearby Orlando, at Daytona since Gary Ferrera and Kris Wilson co-drove to a second-place finish in the No. 99 Invisible Glass Aston Martin Vantage GT4 in 2019’s season-opening four-hour race at Daytona.

“I am proud of Jim, Tom, Brett and everybody on the Automatic Racing team who never stopped working on both of our Aston Martin Vantage GT4s all week,” Russell said. “We knew from last week’s Rolex Roar test we would have some competitive pace but the race itself always presents a new set of challenges. We persevered through every single one and to start the year with a top-five finish in a field of this caliber is something to be proud of and build on.”

Shaking off a challenging qualifying session on Thursday, Jonsin started Friday’s race from 28th on the grid and quickly began to move the front. Driving a “double stint,” Jonsin was behind the wheel of the No. 9 for nearly 90 minutes and for two pit stops. He cycled to as high as second place during the first round of stops and dashed to the pits the second time to hand off to Sandberg just out of the top-15.

Sandberg continued to improve through his mid-race driving shift and handed the “No Limits” Aston Martin off to Long who quickly joined the top-five battle in the final part of the race. The team’s professional driver, Long maneuvered through more than one daring overtake and arguably pulled off the best move of the race, splitting a pair of competitors for a pass that moved the No. 9 into third place. Masterfully managing worn tires, Long continued the fight to the finish in fourth place and was just edged at the checkered flag in a photo finish that showed the “No Limits” Aston Martin in fifth by a scant .007 of a second.

“I am so proud of the entire Automatic Racing team,” Long said. “To be part of Jim Jonsin’s ‘No Limits’ campaign with the Aston Martin has been so much fun. Daytona is always a special event. It’s very rewarding to come home with a top-five finish. I wouldn’t have minded being on the podium – we were there for a little bit near the end – but I’m really looking forward to keeping the campaign going. Make sure to download and stream the ‘No Limits’ song as often as possible! It’s a catchy one.”

Jonsin and the Rebel Rock squad competed alongside longtime Automatic Racing co-drivers Rob Ecklin and Ramin Abdolvahabi in the No. 09 Stoner Car Care Aston Martin Vantage GT4. Ecklin and Abdolvahabi advanced through the running order like their No. 9 teammates and overcame a penalty and some mechanical issues to secure a 17th place finish.

Next up for Automatic Racing and its pair of Aston Martin Vantage GT4 teams is Round 2 of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge at Sebring International Raceway, March 15 – 16.

Noteworthy

Mahone was among the strong contingent of guests attending Friday’s IMSA race in support of Jonsin and the team. “We had Austin Mahone out here watching the race as well,” Jonsin said. “I’m stoked and I’m thankful.” Vic Martin, one of the main writers of “No Limits” – which is now available across all streaming and popular music download platforms – also made the trip to Daytona to cheer on Jonsin and his teammates.

The new “No Limits” release had a presence throughout the weekend’s featured 61st Rolex 24 At Daytona that followed the Pilot Challenge race last Saturday and Sunday. The song was frequently played on the NBC Networks television broadcast of the day-long race as a “bump” leading into and out of commercial breaks. Current plans call for other songs from the Fueled by 808 Vol. 1 project to have similar airplay on NBC IMSA race broadcasts later in the season.

TOMMY DUNKEL EXPERIENCES FIRST CHILI BOWL RACE AND HAS A SUCCESSFUL START AS A SPRINT CAR TEAM OWNER

(Menifee, CA, February 1, 2023) For Southern California racing aficionado Tommy Dunkel, the month of January was an extension of Christmas. To start the year, the Menifee, California racer took part in the world-famous Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the very first time. If that wasn’t enough, he became the car owner of the USAC/CRA Sprint Car team that features star driver Brody Roa. The new owner/driver combo swept to victory in two races in Arizona at the end of the month.

The Chili Bowl, which drew over 350 cars, marked Dunkel’s initial time racing a midget. Widely known as the biggest midget race in the world, it matches drivers from a variety of different disciplines of racing including NASCAR, Indy Cars, NHRA, USAC Sprint Cars & Midgets, and World of Outlaws Sprint Cars. For most, including Dunkel, it is a dream to be a part of the show. He was over the moon to be a part of the program that was staged in the massive SageNet Center and was shown around the world on Flo Racing and MAVTV.

Getting to race the Dunkel Farms/Inland Rigging/Osborn Speed and Machine/United Asset Sales/Southside Mowers sponsored Boss Chassis/Esslinger, Dunkel finally flew into action on night four of the six evening event (all drivers compete once in the first five days and come back for Saturday’s finale). Dunkel’s first race was an eight-lap heat against a tough field of drivers. Forced wide on the start, he ended up with a seventh-place finish.

The heat race outcome placed Dunkel in one of the night’s two C mains. The midget rookie started 14th in the rough-and-tumble affair and came home 12th. That put him in one of the very early Saturday preliminary main events and meant he would have to make more transfers than anyone in the history of the Chili Bowl to make the A main. Being a rookie along with some car issues, Dunkel knew his chances of that happening were impossible.

“Our prelim was Thursday and we kind of really struggled with the car,” Dunkel said. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t in the best of equipment. After Thursday I just decided to sit out Saturday’s alphabet soup. I really wanted to run but for some safety reasons and just not really getting the car to work for me, I decided to bow out.”

While he exited the event early, it does not mean Dunkel is done with midget racing. In fact, quite the contrary. The exhilaration of being a part of such a high-profile race and being on the track with superstar drivers bit him hard and he now has the itch to get back to Tulsa. In fact, he is already making plans to be a part of the show in the upcoming years.

“Racing a midget was a lot different (from racing a sprint car) but I will tell you, I am hooked,” Dunkel enthused about the experience. “To see a midget in the Inland Rigging stable is not too far-fetched anymore. Honestly, it will probably be just for the Chili Bowl. I can definitely see making that a yearly deal. With the sprint car thing getting as serious as it is right now, I don’t know if I will have a whole lot of time to race a midget on the West Coast.”

“I really enjoyed it and they are a lot of fun,” Dunkel continued about his first foray into the lightweight cars. “The power-to-weight ratio is pretty high on them. They are really responsive cars to drive. I enjoyed it, and it was a thrill. In my heat race, I was lined up next to Shuman (Casey Shuman). My practice session had Rico Abreu and a few other big names. It was nerve-wracking, but I had some fast guys to follow. The nerves were at a solid 10 just walking into that place. The prestige that comes with that race is huge. To be able to compete there was a pretty big milestone for me.”

Soon after the Chili Bowl ended, Dunkel met with veteran racer Roa and took on some more duties fielding a car for the star driver in this year’s USAC/CRA Series. To say the least, they got off to a dream start when Roa swept the two opening races at Arizona’s Cocopah Speedway last weekend.

“We are over the top really,” happy car owner Dunkel said on Sunday. “We were hoping for a decent run with a brand new car, new team, and a whole new package. To go out there and sweep the weekend was a little unexpected. We are just over the top about it.”’

After three weeks away from the track, Dunkel will return to action when the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series opens its 2023 campaign on the Dirt Track at the Kern County Raceway in Bakersfield on February 25th. From that day through the first week in July, Inland Rigging cars, with Dunkel or Roa behind the wheel, will be racing every single weekend before getting a week off.

Dunkel would like to thank the following for making the team’s racing efforts possible. Inland Rigging, Dunkel Farms, United Asset Sales, Osborne Speed & Machine, Sander Engineering, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, ALR Virtual Services, Burris Racing, Caltrol, Competition Suspension, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. If you or your company would like to join the team for a full year of USAC Sprint Car competition in 2023, please give Tommy Dunkel a call at 951-901-5082 or send an email to mailto:TomDunkel@inlandrigging.com.

Driving is a fun activity that brings excitement and fun. However, it comes at a cost. Most of the time, frequent driving can lead to wear and tear until the car components break and cannot be driven anymore. You might have put the wrecked in your garage. Despite having many relishing memories with it, you will need to get rid of it someday. The parts of the vehicle deteriorate with time due to friction. You may opt for a mechanic every time.

They can also salvage some recyclable parts of the automobile. After they remove the usable parts, they then sell them. 

Free Car Removal

Sometimes, the car is so damaged, and they’ll still dispose of it if they are serious. One might hire a towing company to transport it to the salvage yard. You won’t need this when dealing with car removal services. Auto removal firms offer free removal services. They will remove the damaged car from your yard free of charge. You don’t have to bother doing anything. They will not deduct the removal cost from the cash they pay for the car.

How To Choose The Best Bronx Body Shop

Whether small or big, dealing with damage to your car following an accident is never fun. No matter how careful you’re on the road, you can’t avoid some scenarios. A drunk driver or bad weather may cause damage to your vehicle. In such a case, you may want to hire an auto body shop to address the problem. They’ll help fix your car’s dents, replace faulty parts, and return your vehicle to its original state.  

Today, you have your choice of several auto body shops. So, finding one is easy, but choosing the best one can be tricky. It requires you to consider many elements. You need someone who can efficiently work in your car and provide better results. Here are six practical approaches to end up with the best body shop Bronx has to offer. 

  1. Choose A Shop With Certified Technicians

The quality of the work will majorly rely on the technicians handling it. With this in mind, the company you select should have qualified staff. This means they’ve undergone formal training and have been certified. Before you sign a deal with any auto body shop in the Bronx, ensure that the technicians are licensed.  

Aside from that, the shop should be a certified repair center for individual car models. For instance, if you see a Toyota-approved body shop, the center is approved to offer body repair services for any cars from this manufacturer. Reputable car body shops display these certifications on their websites, so they’re easily verifiable.  

  1. Ask For Recommendations

Today, many people own cars, and most of them have previously used the services of a body repair shop. This is why asking for recommendations can be an effective strategy for finding the best auto body shop in the Bronx. If you know of family members, friends, or colleagues who have had their car body worked by a shop in the area, ask for their feedback.  

If you have a car mechanic on speed dial who goes to your home to fix your car, you can ask them if there’s a body shop they can recommend. They may have a few of them on their list you can check out. But be sure to do your own research to identify the most suitable provider from the recommendation list.  

  1. Consider Location

Location is another element to consider when searching for an auto repair shop in the Bronx. With a population of more than a million, chances are the borough is home to a number of body shops. 

For convenience, check which are the ones nearest you. You can then go over online reviews to narrow down your options. See if they already did a job similar to what you need them to do, for example, restore sun-damaged and faded car paint.   

  1. Compare Prices

To get the best value for your money, you must compare prices. The various auto body shops charge different prices for their services. So, comparing prices just makes you a good shopper.  

List all the shops you’re considering. From there, request each to give you intimates for the work. Once that’s done, you can compare prices and make an informed decision.  

Sometimes, you may be tempted to hire the body shop with the lowest price tag, thinking you’ll save a lot of money. But that may not always be the case. The quality may be poor, forcing you to start looking again for another service provider to work on the botch job. Nevertheless, there are auto repair shops with low prices without compromising the quality of their work. A possible drawback is that they have a long queue. 

  1. Review Their Warranty Policy

A good auto body repair shop is always ready to stand by its work. They provide a warranty as a guarantee to redo the work if something goes wrong. With such a service, you can be confident with their work and eventually save money in case you get into another car accident

However, you must adhere to the warranty terms and conditions. Make sure you find a company with a reasonable warranty period.  

  1. Follow Your Gut

It’s also important to follow your gut when choosing an auto body shop in the Bronx.  If no customers visit a certain shop, many may avoid them because of poor service or poor quality. And if the place is so dirty, that can reflect their work or work ethic. You should avoid such shops.  

Takeaway

One of the most recommended ways to repair your car following an accident is to hire an auto body shop. They’ll work on your vehicle to return it to its original state. However, you must partner with the best provider. You can consider the tips listed in this article to ensure you hire the most suitable body shop in the Bronx.

Essential Repair Checklist to Upgrade your Car on Top Maintainance

Introduction

You drive your car every day, and it’s an important part of your life. After all, you depend on it for everything from commuting to errands to weekend getaways. You want that car to last as long as possible—and with regular maintenance, it will!

Oil Change

Oil Change – Recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles

  • Change the oil filter at the same time.
  • Add a quart of oil if needed. Check the level after the car has been driven for about 15 minutes or so to see if it needs more or less.

Alignment

Alignment is the adjustment of the tire position to make sure that they are exactly parallel to one another. This is done so that your car’s wheels will be in line with its axis, and it can guarantee that your vehicle runs smoothly at all times.

Alignments are important because they help protect your tires from damage due to uneven wear on the roads, which could otherwise lead to expensive repairs later on. If you want to prevent specific problems like this, then having an alignment checkup done every six months or so is highly recommended!

When you visit a professional auto service center for an alignment checkup, here are some things that you should expect:

  • An inspection of your tires will be performed first so as not only to identify any potential issues but also to determine how much tread remains in each tire before deciding whether or not it needs replacing just yet; this way lies better safety!

Belts and Hoses

The next things you need to keep an eye on are our belts and hoses. These are important because they help keep everything running smoothly. You can check for worn belts and hoses using a flashlight, but make sure you don’t have the headlights on—you don’t want to blind yourself!

If you do find any worn parts, replace them as soon as possible so that your car keeps running well.

Radiator Flush and Refill

Radiator Flush and Refill

Radiator coolant is used to keep the engine cool by circulating the fluid throughout the engine. Radiator fluid should be checked regularly and replaced when needed. If you’re in doubt about whether your car’s radiator is full or not.

Transmission Service

A transmission service is a process of cleaning and replacing specific parts in the transmission system. This procedure should be performed once every 20,000 miles (30,000 km), or every two years if you drive daily.

A transmission service includes:

  • Fluid change (transmission and torque converter)
  • Check/adjust of clutch disc and throwout bearing
  • New filter element for torque converter housing and pan gasket replacement if necessary

Brake Repair

Your car’s brakes are the most important safety feature of your vehicle. It’s crucial to take care of them and keep them in good working order, but many people don’t know how to check for problems. To make sure you’re doing everything you can to keep your brakes safe, follow these steps:

  • Check your brake pads. You should be able to see a layer of material on the back edge of each pad—this is wear indicator material that will begin to disappear as the pads wear down. If there isn’t enough material left, it means they need to be replaced immediately. Make sure that if you’re driving with worn-out brakes, you avoid any long downhills or sharp turns because they could cause serious damage if handled poorly.
  • Change your brake fluid regularly.
  • Check all hoses and lines every time you change the oil (every six months).
  • Get new rotors if yours are worn out or warped beyond repair; otherwise, just have them turned over so they last longer before needing replacement again later.

Car dent repair

Car Dent Repair is the process of removing a dent from the body of a car. It can be done by hand, or with some type of pneumatic tool look at dent repair in Brisbane. The goal is to get the dent out as much as possible to make it look like new so that you don’t have to keep looking at it and thinking about it.

These repairs can be key to extending the life of your vehicle.

Many of these repairs can be key to extending the life of your vehicle. For example, you may save money in the long run and avoid costly repairs down the road by addressing issues such as worn brake pads or a coolant leak right away. By maintaining your car’s value, you’ll also benefit from higher resale prices when it comes time to trade in or sell it at some point down the road.

Conclusion

Car maintenance is so important! By following this checklist, you can ensure your car will last longer and run smoother. It’s also important to be proactive about your vehicle’s health. The more frequently you keep up with these checks and repairs, the less likely you are to have problems in the future.

What Really Happens in Money Laundering Checks When Selling a House

Photo by Kenny Eliason on Unsplash

Selling a house can be a long and complicated process, with many steps to complete before you can successfully transfer ownership to the new owner. One of the most critical and often misunderstood steps is the money laundering check. This check is designed to ensure that the money used to purchase the property is from a legitimate source and not from any illegal activity. 

However, many people need to become more familiar with what actually happens during this process and what they need to prepare for. In this blog post, we will provide a comprehensive guide on what happens in money laundering checks when selling a house, including the process, common mistakes to avoid, and best practices to follow. 

Whether you’re a first-time home seller or a seasoned real estate professional, understanding the money laundering check process is essential to ensure a smooth and successful transaction.

What is Money Laundering?

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money or assets as legitimate funds. This is done to hide the source of the money and make it appear as if it has been legally earned.

Examples of money laundering can include hiding the proceeds of illegal activities, such as drug trafficking, tax evasion, and bribery, by making it appear as if the money came from a legitimate source. This can be achieved by funneling the money through various financial transactions or businesses to conceal its origin.

Money laundering checks in real estate are conducted to prevent criminals from using real estate transactions to legitimize illegal funds. According to Alex from Property Rescue, Real estate transactions often involve large amounts of money, making them an attractive target for money launderers. By conducting money laundering checks, the real estate industry can help prevent the proceeds of illegal activities from being funneled into the legitimate economy, which could negatively impact the financial system and the economy as a whole.

The Process of Money Laundering Checks in Real Estate

The money laundering check process in real estate is a series of steps taken to verify the source of funds used to purchase a property. The goal is to ensure that the money is from a legitimate source, not from any illegal activity.

The steps involved in the money laundering check process typically include the following:

  1. Gathering information from the buyer and seller, such as identification documents and proof of income.
  2. Verifying the buyer’s identity and source of funds.
  3. Reviewing the transaction history and any related financial records.
  4. Conducting risk assessments to determine the likelihood of money laundering.
  5. Submitting the information to the relevant authorities for review.
  6. Receiving the results of the check and determining if the transaction can proceed.

Different parties involved in the money laundering check process include the buyer, the seller, the real estate agent, the bank or financial institution, and the relevant authorities, such as anti-money laundering (AML) departments. 

The buyer and the seller are responsible for providing the necessary information, while the real estate agent and the bank verify the information and conduct the check. The relevant authorities review the information and determine if the transaction can proceed. All parties must work together to ensure a smooth and efficient money laundering check process.

Common Mistakes Made During Money Laundering Checks

During the money laundering check process, common mistakes include incorrect or missing information, failure to comply with regulations and procedures, and failure to understand the importance of the check.

The consequences can be severe if mistakes are made during the money laundering check process. The transaction may be delayed or even canceled, leading to additional costs and inconvenience for the buyer and seller. In some cases, criminal charges may be filed, and reputational damage may occur.

To avoid mistakes during the money laundering check process, it is essential to be well prepared. Some tips include:

  1. Gathering all necessary information and documentation ahead of time.
  2. Familiarizing yourself with the regulations and procedures related to money laundering checks.
  3. Working with a reputable real estate agent and financial institution with experience with the check process.
  4. Communicating with all parties to ensure everyone is on the same page.
  5. Seeking the advice of legal or financial professionals if necessary. 

By following these tips, you can ensure a smooth and successful money laundering check process.

Best Practices for Selling a House with Money Laundering Checks

The best practices for selling a house with money laundering checks include following all regulations and procedures, being well prepared, and clearly understanding the process. Other best practices include working with a reputable real estate agent and financial institution, maintaining good communication with all parties involved, and seeking the advice of legal or financial professionals if necessary.

Preparing beforehand is essential for a successful money laundering check process. This includes gathering all necessary information and documentation, familiarizing yourself with the regulations and procedures, and understanding the importance of the check. Being well-prepared can help to avoid mistakes and ensure a smooth and efficient process.

To prepare for the money laundering check, you can take the following steps:

  1. Gather all necessary identification documents and proof of income.
  2. Review the regulations and procedures related to money laundering checks.
  3. Work with a reputable real estate agent and financial institution.
  4. Communicate with all parties to ensure everyone is on the same page.
  5. Seek the advice of legal or financial professionals if necessary.
  6. Be prepared to provide detailed information about the transaction, including the source of funds used to purchase the property.

By following these steps, you can ensure that you are well-prepared for the money laundering check process and that the transaction proceeds smoothly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, money laundering checks are a crucial part of selling a house. These checks are designed to ensure that the funds used to purchase a property are from a legitimate source, not from any illegal activity. 

A money laundering check can be complex and involves several steps and parties. It is essential to be well prepared and to follow all regulations and procedures to ensure a smooth and successful outcome. By understanding the process, being aware of common mistakes, and following best practices, you can help ensure a successful money laundering check and a smooth property sale.

Joe Graf Jr. became the latest addition to Joe Gibbs Racing’s driver lineup for the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season. 

The 24-year-old Graf from Mahwah, New Jersey, will be piloting JGR’s No. 19 “all-star” Toyota Supra entry for five Xfinity events this upcoming season, beginning at Auto Club Speedway on February 25. He will then pilot the No. 19 entry at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 4, Richmond Raceway on April 1, New Hampshire Motor Speedway on July 15 and at Kansas Speedway on September 9. CoverSeal® and G-Coin® will be supporting Graf’s efforts at JGR.

The news comes after Graf Jr. will also be driving for RSS Racing for 28 Xfinity events this season, which will commence at Daytona International Speedway in February and make him a full-time competitor in the series. It also comes after the New Jersey native spent the previous season competing in all but five of 33-race Xfinity schedule between SS-Green Light Racing, RSS Racing and BJ McLeod Motorsports.

“Running five races with JGR is a fantastic opportunity for myself and for my marketing partners,” Graf Jr. said. “I think I can learn a lot from JGR and showcase my skills I’ve been growing in the series in the past three years. 2023 is shaping up to be a great year and I’m pumped to get started with the No. 19 group.”

Graf Jr. made his inaugural presence in the Xfinity Series at Richmond Raceway in June 2019, where he piloted the No. 21 Chevrolet Camaro for Richard Childress Racing as a development driver and finished 19th after starting 21st. Since then, he has recorded a total of two top-10 results and 23 top-20 results in 93 career starts. His highest-finishing result to date is an eighth-place run at Talladega Superspeedway in April 2022.

Prior to the Xfinity Series, Graf Jr. competed in two ARCA Menards Series season in 2018 and 2019. He claimed his first career victory at Berlin Raceway in August 2018.

“Joe [Graf Jr.] is committed to success, which is something we are looking for in all of our drivers,” Steve DeSouza, Executive Vice President of NXS and Development, added. “We are anticipating a solid season from the No. 19 team and Joe’s addition to the driver lineup will help that team be competitive for the owner’s championship this season.”

With Graf Jr.’s addition to JGR, he becomes the second competitor scheduled to pilot the No. 19 entry that will be led by veteran crew chief Jason Ratcliff. Ryan Truex is scheduled to pilot the car in a total of six events, though his schedule has not been determined. The remainder of the No. 19 team’s drivers and schedules have yet to be determined.

With his schedule set, Graf Jr.’s 2023 Xfinity Series season will commence at Daytona International Speedway on February 18 at 5 p.m. ET on FS1. His part-time tenure at Joe Gibbs Racing will then begin at Auto Club Speedway on February 25 at 5 p.m. ET on FS1.

Jay Leno Explores the History of Trans-Am Racing with Fox Sports NASCAR Announcer Mike Joy on Latest Episode of “Jay Leno’s Garage”

Mike Joy & Trans-Am Racer Ken Epsman Walk Jay Through Three Classic Race Cars

Jay Leno recently featured FOX NASCAR Announcer Mike Joy alongside three classic Trans-Am race cars on Jay Leno’s Garage. A classic car enthusiast himself, Joy walked Leno through the history of Trans-Am racing and the unique vehicle specifications allowing each car to compete in Trans-Am races from 1966 to 1972. The first of two race cars on the episode is from Mike Joy’s personal collection, a very special 1970 Chevy Camaro Trans-Am. The second featured car is a Chevy Javelin that raced the same era.

Following the walkthrough of each vehicle, ‘the voice of NASCAR’ Mike Joy explains that NASCAR has been his passion for forty-five years and that Trans-Am racing has been his ongoing hobby. With the beginning of the NASCAR season set to start with the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum on Sunday, February 5th airing on FOX at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time), 2023 will be Joy’s 45th season in the booth.

Mike Joy explains, “My heart is right here in these cars but my profession has been calling NASCAR for these many years. This year will be my 45th Daytona 500 for either radio or TV, and we all kick it off over here at the L.A. Coliseum. We’re going to run NASCAR cars inside the Coliseum in the Busch Clash for the second year. We’ll do that the first weekend of February and then the Daytona 500 on FOX in mid-February.”

During the walk around of the vehicles, Joy discusses with Leno the special specification that classified Trans-Am race cars. He explains that in 1966, the Sports Car Club of America created the pro-series for sedans which were mostly stock vehicles with some restrictions. V8 powered sedans have a 305 cubic inch limit and a two liter limit for 4 cylinder cars, which allowed local racers to race against factory teams by upgrading their license to pro as long as they had an A or B category SCCA car.

Following the in-garage walk-around, Joy joined Leno for a test drive in Ken Epsman’s Trans-Am Mustang. One of Jay’s impressions from the experience behind the wheel: “These were the final iteration of ‘race on Sunday, buy on Monday’ (cars) because you could go to a race on Sunday and see a team’s car, and you could actually buy that car. You really can’t get close to buying a race car anymore.”

Following the 2023 Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, the Daytona 500 will air Sunday, February 19th, on FOX at 11:30 a.m. (Pacific Time).
