Cricket is fun and a social game to play. It is played all over the world. It is also watched and loved by millions of people. Every apprentice wants to be a re-known cricketer. There are a few techniques that a beginner can use to ace the sport. The three key things in cricket are bowling, fielding, and batting. For a player to become a great batsman, below are a few helpful live cricket betting tips for you.

Standing sideways

Always ensure that you position yourself facing the bowler with your feet, shoulder-width apart. Keep your back straight as you bend your body with your hips. While holding the bat ready, point your non-dominant shoulder towards the bowler and ensure that you keep your eyes on the ball. Your shoulders should not drop and you must be at eye level at all times. For the right-handed players, stand on the right side of the stump. For the left-handed, you ought to stand on the right side also.

Hold the bat

Always hold your bat tightly. For the right-handed players, ensure that your left-hand holds the end of the bat facing the bowler and your right hand is placed on top of your left hand. Also, hold the bat with two fingers and your thumb. You must place your forefinger in a good position to have a firm grip on the bat. The vice versa is true of the left-handed batsmen. For the bat paddle to feel comfortable in your hands, you have to ensure that your hands are close to each other.

Eyes on the ball

Always make sure that you keep your eyes on the ball all the time. This way, you will be able to follow until the ball is pitched. It will be easier for you to figure out the position you have to take to hit the ball. Think about which shot to take as soon as the ball comes toward you. When the ball is pitched in a good way, you can drive to take a long shot but if it is too high or too low, then take a defensive shot. This is one of the most crucial cricket batting techniques for beginners to remember and apply.

Follow through

A player can refine their skills by following with a swing. Ensure that you follow through with your bat for the whole swing even if you miss the ball. This is done to hit the ball as far as possible. Practice consistently so that if you miss the ball, you will not pop the ball in the air and get out easily.

Stay calm

Being nervous while in play can throw you out of focus and off your game. You have to make mistakes while nervous. Every time ensure that you practice regulating your breathing and visualize the trajectory of the ball. Try to block out all the excitement and nervousness coming from other players and spectators and concentrate on the ball.

Conclusion

The above live cricket betting tips can help you become a very great batsman. However, there are more complex techniques that include vertical bat shots and horizontal bat shots. 

The consistency which secured third in the championship for ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team

By
Official Release
-

A consistent season for ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team saw Laia Sanz and Carlos Sainz Snr. in the hunt for championship victory until the very end, when a difficult finale in Uruguay sealed third place for the duo in the standings.

The Spaniards also rounded out the top three in the drivers’ standings, confirming an impressive step forward from the team’s sixth place finish last season.

ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team went into the season finale in Punta del Este, Uruguay, with title hopes, but ambitions were cut short earlier than expected. Third place in Semi-Final 2 behind Genesys Andretti United Extreme E and NEOM McLaren Extreme E Team denied them the spot in the Final they needed to stay in the championship reckoning.

The first lap of Sanz’s Semi-Final stint saw the Spaniard roll her ODYSSEY 21, completing two spins, while fighting another car for second place. Not only did Sanz land it on all four wheels, but she pushed on, making it to the Switch Zone where Sainz Snr. took on the challenge of chasing down the leading duo.

Both Sanz and Sainz Snr. reported a power loss following the staggering roll., but a heroic effort saw the Spaniards finish just eight seconds short of a Final spot behind eventual second place finishers NEOM McLaren Extreme E Team.

Carlos Sainz, ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team, said: “It is a disappointment because we really wanted to get to the Final and fight for the Championship until the end. It’s such a blow, but in the end, we have to take the positives.

“Throughout the season we were consistent as a team. We were in every Final except this one – obviously the crash we had in Sardinia compromised us. What happened today is just bad luck. These things can happen in racing.

“I take the positives, like the tremendous evolution that Laia has done ever since she started racing in cars. Now we must prepare even better for next season and try again.”

Laia Sanz, ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team, said: “I am sad about what happened. It is a shame. We had to finish first or second in the semi-final and we had to go for it. Unfortunately, while taking a corner through the inside line, the car rolled over. I had another car on my right, so there was nothing I could do.

“I feel bad for the team because we deserved better this year. Luck was not on our side in some key moments. Other teams also had to deal with some things, but they maybe didn’t compromise that much on the result. Anyway, we can be really proud of the work we have done this season and look towards the 2023 season feeling more confident than ever.”

Despite falling short of championship glory, ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team has established itself as one of the major forces in the series. Second place in the season opener in NEOM, Saudi Arabia, marked a strong start to the season for the team as they led the first Final of the season until the closing stages.

Second place in Round 4 in Chile marks another of the team’s highlights of Season 2, as Sanz and Sainz Snr. stormed into four Finals out of five to become one of the most unwavering driver pairings on the grid.

ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team were hit with misfortune at the Sardinian double-header. A crash for Sainz Snr. in the NEOM Island X Prix I Final denied a chance of adding another podium to the tally, but the team recovered strongly in the second leg of the week to take an all too familiar spot on the start line of the Final.

Joan Orús, ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team’s Team Principal, added: “It was an incredible Extreme E season, to be honest. We really enjoyed it and we fought from the very first race, where we lost the victory in the last corner, and we finished second.

“We could have won the Island X Prix in Sardinia, too. In Chile, we fought again for the win, and we finished on the podium.

“It’s tough to finish third in the Championship after a Semi-Final in which Laia sadly rolled over the car, but it was an incredible season, and we are really satisfied. The team is capable of winning in any circumstance and we can face the future convinced that we will be there.”

Everything You Need To Know For The NTT INDYCAR Series

By

-

The NTT Indycar series makes its way to Ohio on July 2nd for the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio in Lexington. The NTT Indycar series is the premiere North American open-wheel single-seater racing car series, most famous of course for the Indianapolis 500. The circuit is the result of a 2008 merger of the breakaway Indy Racing League formed in 1996 by Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony George and the Champ Car World Series.

With that in mind, Ohio sports betting legalization is just hours away! Racing fans in Ohio can start betting on motorsports starting at 12:01 AM on January 1st.

Bettors can sign up now ahead of the big launch. Click here for our BetMGM Ohio bonus code to take advantage of their generous welcome bonus offer Just sign up, make a deposit and place a bet of up to $1000. If the wager wins, just pocket the proceeds! If the bet loses, BetMGM will offset the loss with risk-free bets equal to the amount of the first bet, with a max of $1000. 

IndyCar has 17 races on the docket, starting on March 5th with the Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg and ending with the Firestone Grand Prix on Monterey on September 10th with the Indy 500 on its traditional Memorial Day weekend slot. Mid Ohio is the ninth race on the schedule, making it the exact midpoint of the IndyCar season.

There are 12 teams running cars on the IndyCar series in 2023, featuring some of the biggest names in motorsports. AJ Foyt Enterprises, Andretti Autosport, Chip Ganassi Racing, Rahal Letterman Racing, and Team Penske will all field teams that figure to find their way to the Winners Circle. 

Will Power of Team Penske was the overall Drivers Champion in 2022 while Marcus Ericsson of Chip Ganassi Racing took the Indy 500. Josef Newgarde of Team Penske led IndyCar with five wins in 2022. 

Mid Ohio is a prestigious stop on the tour with its very interesting winding track. Scott McGlaughlin of Team Penske won the 2022 Mid Ohio, continuing a recent run of success here for his team. Newgarden won Mid Ohio in 2021 and 2017 while Power took one of the two shortened Mid Ohio’s in 2020, all for Team Penske.

While Mid Ohio represents the only instate IndyCar series race in 2023, Buckeye State residents do not have to travel too far for a couple of other races. There is the 107th running of the Indy 500 on May 28th, and then the circuit returns to Indy for the Gallagher Grand Prix on August 12th on the Road Course.

There are many ways to wager on IndyCar Series and the other popular motorsports circuits. Here are a few.

Outright Winner

As it sounds, just bet on the race winner. It resembles a moneyline bet but it is technically considered a futures market. There were nine different winners in 2022, though only four of the 12 teams fielded winning drivers. They were Penske, Ganassi, Andretti, and Arrow McClaren, so drivers on those teams will top the betting screens.

No odds are up yet for IndyCar races, but look for Power, Newgarden, and McClaughlin often listed among the favorites, in addition to Scott Dixon and Alex Palau of Chip Ganassi racing.

There are also betting markets on top three or “podium” finishes, with betting payouts obviously lower than payouts on outright winners.

Pole Position

Every race requires preliminary heats to qualify the drivers and place them in their starting slots. The fastest lap in the qualifier gets that driver the pole position and the sportsbooks will all post betting markets on the winners here. The same drivers that dominate the winners circle post top qualifying times as well, though the variations between course designs matter a lot. Will Power dominated here in 2022 with five pole positions with McGlaughlin taking three.

Drivers Champion

IndyCar awards points based on where the drivers finish in each race. The winner gets 50 points, next is 40, 35, and 32, followed by two point drops each spot for the 4th through 10th place finishers, then one point drops through 25th. Every other qualifier gets five points. There are also bonus points for pole position and leading at least one lap in the race. The driver that leads the most laps gets two bonus points. The Indy 500 has a modestly different points season. The racer with the most points at the end of the season wins is the Drivers Champion. Here were the top drivers and their points in 2022.

  • Will Power: 560
  • Josef Newgarden: 544
  • Scott Dixon: 521
  • Scott McGlaughlin: 510
  • Alex Palou: 510
  • Marcus Ericsson: 506

The following drivers took home the Drivers Championship in the last decade

  • 2022: Will Power
  • 2021: Alex Palou
  • 2020: Scott Dixon
  • 2019: Josef Newgarden
  • 2018: Dixon
  • 2017: Newgarden
  • 2016: Simon Pagenaud
  • 2015: Dixon
  • 2014: Power
  • 2013: Dixon

Dison is actually a six-time champ, having won in 2003 and 2008 as well.

Drivers Head to Head

This just involves betting on one racer to finish ahead of another. Even though it’s in the context of a larger field, this bet itself just resembles a moneyline on a football game or a tennis match, or any two team or individual bet. It might look like this in the Mid Ohio

Will Power -135 vs Scott Dixon +110

Power bettors risk $135 to earn $100 if he finishes higher than Dixon. Conversely, Dixon bettors win $110 on a $100 bet if he wins the head-to-head.

Props

As race day approaches, the sportsbooks will start posting props. They often include bets on which driver will lead the most laps, which one will post the fastest lap, who finishes top ten, and so on. There are also props on which racing team will win the race. There is also live betting, which works well in motorsports betting with frequent caution flags.

Though the NTT IndyCar series only makes one appearance in the Buckeye state, it sets up as a fun year for fans, especially those that love to wager on motorsports.

Why Is Fairspin Blocked?

There Are Several Reasons For Limiting Access To Fairspin Casino:

  • The actions of scammers who have hacked into the personal account and changed the password (these situations are rare);
  • Problems with providers that temporarily or permanently restrict access to the site in order to ensure user safety;
  • Distribution of inappropriate information, advertising of banned products, suspicious transactions;
  • Violation or disregard of the current legislation in terms of gambling activities.
  • Regardless of the circumstances, the user may use a mirror version of the site or bypass the blockage in another way.

What Is A Fairspin Casino Mirror?

In contrast to the main version of the web resource, the mirror has a different domain name. Design, functionality, sound, location of buttons and pictures – all this is preserved.

Where To Look For A Working Mirror Of Fairspin Casino?

To find a working Fairspin Casino mirror, it is advisable to turn to partner casino sites devoted to gambling themes, or to the administration of the resource itself. Keep in touch with the moderators, who are ready to answer any questions, you can use a phone number or e-mail.

In addition, there are official representatives of the casino in messengers and social networks to receive news and share information. By subscribing to them, you can have access to constantly updated information and have at hand a reliable tool in the form of mirrors.

How To Bypass A Blocking?

There are several ways to log in to the site if the main web resource does not work:

  • Proxy. A server is an intermediate link (a set of programs) in computer networks, acting as an intermediary between a user and the target algorithm. The method is ancient and reliable.
  • VPN. This is the generalized name of technologies by which it is possible to guarantee connections in a network over another network. The option is implemented quickly and is free.
  • Anonymizers. This is a generic name for tools designed to hide data about a computer, its user or its IP address. The sites allow you to visit resources that have been blocked, as well as hide your own location. It has to do with the possibility of changing the IP address.
  • Browsers. The method is ancient and slow, but it does not require payment.
  • Change of DNS server. Domain Name System is an acronym for Domain Name System. It is a technology that makes it possible for a browser to find a site by name.
  • Official applications. A minus of the method is that the applications require a download. In addition, there is a risk of encountering scammers. But the option is free and reliable.

What Can Be Played Through The Mirror?

The same set of entertainment is available to the user.

  • Slots. “One-armed bandits” with the themes of fruit, adventure, treasure hunting, history, etc.
  • Roulette. Prediction of color and number on the wheel of luck – https://fairspin.io/casino/roulette.
  • Video poker. Gathering a perfect combination that exceeds the value of the opponent’s card
  • Baccarat. A game of aristocrats for lovers of gambling
  • Blackjack. Card game for those who love big prizes
  • Free Games Demo mode to test the game and check your chances

Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport Set to Launch in 2023

Two iconic names in racing join forces for IMSA GTP and GTD competition

Brownsburg, Ind. (December 28, 2022) — Andretti Autosport and Wayne Taylor Racing announced a new, long-term partnership today that will see the championship-caliber teams combine resources to compete in IMSA’s top classes. Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport’s No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-06 and its No. 93 Harrison Contracting Company Acura NSX Evo22 will make their official debut at the 2023 Roar Before the Rolex 24 and will be on the grid for the Rolex 24 at DAYTONA. The newly formed team will also compete in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America series.

During the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, day-to-day operations and leadership remain as they have currently operated with the long-term goal of moving the programs into Andretti Global’s recently announced 575,000-square-foot headquarters in Fishers, Indiana, due to be operational in 2025.

Wayne Taylor’s global motorsports enterprise boasts two IMSA driver championships (2013, 2017) and back-to-back IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup Championships (2021, 2020), which have contributed to nine IMSA manufacturer championships for Acura, Pontiac, Corvette and Cadillac as well as multiple victories in sportscar racing’s most iconic events – the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA (a total of six Rolex 24 At Daytona titles, two as driver and four of the past six years as team owner), Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, Motul Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, Road America, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International. Wayne Taylor Racing claims eight Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America Championship titles and a Lamborghini World Finals title.

For 2023, Andretti will continue to operate in IMSA’s LMP3 category with Jarett Andretti. The five-time Indianapolis 500 champions Andretti Autosport competes in six additional racing championships worldwide, including the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, INDY NXT by Firestone, ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, Extreme E, Australia’s Repco Supercars Championship and Mexico’s SuperCopa series.

Michael Andretti, Chairman & CEO, Andretti Autosport:

“This is an exciting time for us. We’re proud to be returning to the IMSA paddock in this way and the opportunity to be part of the launch of the GTP program alongside Wayne Taylor Racing and our friends at Honda Performance Development. Re-entering IMSA full time, and at this level, has been a goal of mine. I wanted it to be the right opportunity and at the right time – and we’ve found that. I’m looking forward to working closer with the team at WTR and meeting all the team’s strong supporters. I want to personally thank Wayne (Taylor) and Travis (Houge) for already being such great partners as we plan for a successful future.”

Wayne Taylor, Team Owner, Wayne Taylor Racing:

“It’s an honor to be partnering with a name like Andretti as we enter a new era of racing. I was approached by Michael a year ago and, as we all know, timing is everything, especially as our GTP and GTD programs continue to grow with Acura|HPD. Having worked with Michael on this for nearly a year, I’m very excited to see it come together. While our 2023 program won’t look much different, there is a lot that Andretti Autosport can offer to us as we continue to build and expand. I’m looking forward to working closer with Michael (Andretti), J-F (Thormann), Rob (Edwards) and the entire Andretti team.”

Fraser McConnell on his Extreme E debut

By
Official Release
-

Fraser McConnell made his hotly anticipated Extreme E debut at the season-ending Uruguay Natural Energy X Prix last month for JBXE. It had been a long time coming for the Jamaican, who had been the series’ Championship Driver since the NEOM Island X Prix double-header in July. Extreme E caught up with McConnell who reviewed his 2022 with the series, his first X Prix and catching the eyes of the paddock out on track.

Extreme E: You have had quite a year with the series! How did it start?
Fraser McConnell: It all happened so quickly! I got the call from James Taylor (Chief Championship Officer) in the summer just before the double-header in Sardinia, asking if I would be a Championship Driver and then was on a plane!

It all happened at short notice, but it was such an incredible opportunity that I could not say no. As a driver you always look for your breakthrough moment and I intended to grab the chance with both hands. I have loved being involved with Extreme E – it is such a big, important championship and I was honoured to get the call.

XE: You seemed to thrive in the role of Championship Driver. How would you describe the role?
FM: For the NEOM Island X Prix double-header I was able to spend quite a bit of time in the ODYSSEY 21 and then I continued the role in Chile for the next round. With every session I got more acclimatised with the whole team, particularly those on the Sporting side, as well as Continental.

I was really involved and trusted with making sure that the data I was giving back was detailed and useful for the whole team. I even got to carry out Continental tyre development testing in Sardinia, which was a great experience. It offered me a lot of seat time in the ODYSSEY 21 which is priceless – not many have driven the car and I was able to get in it a lot! It was an honour.

XE: When did you start having aspirations to get behind the wheel in race trim?
FM: As a driver you always want to be racing and competing. In Chile I really started to feel it, though. We carried out a pre-event test session with Continental and Spark. Those are just about bedding yourself in to see what’s possible. You are never really pushing too hard for an all-out lap-time in those sessions. It is close to a race simulation, but never flat out.

However, when we checked the data, some of my laps were amongst the fastest of the whole weekend and that spread around the paddock! It must have sparked JBXE’s interest when they had a seat available at the finale in Punta del Este, which was such a great feeling.

XE: Is that how the drive with JBXE at the Season Finale came your way?
FM: Possibly, but also partly with my relationship with Jenson [Button, JBXE Team Owner] in Nitro Rallycross. He had seen me compete already, but my role as Championship Driver helped to confirm it. I was grateful for the opportunity in Uruguay and it was definitely an experience of a lifetime.

I was a fan of Extreme E last year right from the outset – so to go from that to Championship Driver to racer was so special. I did the best I could do when I got behind the wheel in Punta del Este.

XE: Do you think your involvement with Extreme E has improved you as a driver?
FM: I would say that jumping into the ODYSSEY 21 in Italy was the first time I had been in an ‘off-road’ vehicle. I didn’t know what the car was capable of but, after a bit of accelerating and braking, it was incredible to see just what the ODYSSEY 21 could do.

It could manage any terrain – it was fun to me and totally new. With Extreme E there is very little time out on course. You have to extract the most you can and be at 110% all the time.

In Rallycross there isn’t much seat time either, therefore it requires lots of mental preparation so that when you are on track you are confident, especially through the corners. You must focus on being quick and precise minimal mistakes.

XE: How were JBXE to work with?
FM: They were really cool and a solid group of guys. I loved the mechanics and the whole team. Working with Hedda [Hosås] was awesome, too, and we really helped to bring each other along and develop each other’s race craft. I also noticed how feisty Hedda was out on course – we really bounced off each other and complemented each other well in Uruguay.

XE: What did you make of your race debut in Uruguay and what learnings did you take from it?
FM: Despite the end result, I left the track feeling positive. Having the DNF in Q1 did put a damper on us and set the team back quite a bit. Nevertheless, however, we put together a decent run in Q2 and got stuck in. I did not get lots of race time, but still felt we had a solid performance. We enjoyed ourselves on the course.

Overall, I was happy with my pace. We could see we were up there – and I felt that we both got stuck in immediately. With more seat time I definitely think we could have done more and that’s a good feeling to have.

You can never be fast enough and there’s always room to improve – I still look back and analyse, even now – we always do. Hindsight is definitely a big thing as a driver.

XE: What are your hopes for next year?
FM: I would love to remain in the series. I have my eyes on competing regularly and a seat – but let’s see what happens. It has been a remarkable year. Stayed tuned!

The Championship heads into its third season with X Prix rounds kicking off in NEOM, Saudi Arabia on March 11-12 before heading off to Scotland, back to Sardinia, to the US or the Brazilian Amazon, with the finals ending in Chile.

Todd Coleman Racing to Make Michelin Pilot Challenge Debut at Daytona International Speedway

By
Official Release
-

DENVER, CO. (December 27, 2022) – A new season of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge is almost ready to begin, and Todd Coleman Racing (TCR) has worked diligently in the off-season in anticipation of the team’s series debut at Daytona International Speedway, Friday, January 27. With the support of Archangel Motorsports, the team will proudly campaign the No. 69 eStruxture Data Centers Aston Martin Vantage GT4 with drivers Todd Coleman and Conrad Grunewald. This season, Coleman and his team will make their Michelin Pilot Challenge debut at Daytona and plan to continue in the series at select events throughout the 2023 race season.

As the four-hour season-opening race, the BMW M Endurance Challenge at Daytona never disappoints. Last year saw over 100 drivers compete in 47 entries, representing 10 different automotive manufacturers. The participants’ race on the speedway’s road course: 3.56 miles of asphalt that include the oval’s turns as well as the facility’s infield course, including 12 turns in all. The event at the “World Center of Racing” will be Coleman’s first experience participating in an endurance race, a milestone he is eager to achieve.

Coleman just closed out a strong season in SRO America’s Pirelli GT America and GT4 America, driving alongside IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship regular Aaron Telitz. Racing a Toyota GR Supra GT4, Coleman earned three podiums, competing against a tight field at the best road courses North America has to offer. Coleman has also been a championship contender in the Ferrari Challenge North America over the past three years, finishing second in the Pro/Am class standings in 2022. He completed 38 races in three countries this season, building his race craft to prepare him for the level of competition the Michelin Pilot Challenge will provide.

“I am constantly looking to improve as a driver, and the only way to truly improve is to race against the best, and the best always show up for the Michelin Pilot Challenge four-hour endurance race at Daytona,” said Coleman. “We spent a significant amount of the off-season putting together a program that we believe will be a podium and championship contender.”

Joining the team in their Michelin Pilot Challenge debut, Conrad Grunewald is a strong co-driver to race alongside Coleman in the season-opener. Also an SRO America regular—where he finished second in the Fanatec GT World Challenge America Am championship–Grunewald spent 2022 in various racing opportunities as well, competing in the Asian Le Mans Series, FIA World Endurance Cup, and European Le Mans Series. His participation in the BMW M Endurance Challenge at Daytona next month will be his first time racing in the series since 2014.

“I’m really looking forward to racing with Todd and the TCR team at Daytona,” said Grunewald. “Todd has been improving every weekend since he started racing a few years ago, and it seems the Aston Martin platform suits his driving style. The last few years I have been driving GT3, but I have heard great things about the GT4 platform, so I am excited to have the opportunity to race it at such an iconic track.”

The addition of Archangel Motorsports to the Todd Coleman Racing program will provide the team with a strong foundation to begin competition in the IMSA-sanctioned series. Founded by Mike Johnson in 1998, Archangel has grown into a championship-winning effort, contributing to multiple professional sports car racing championships and monumental race wins.

“A big key to having the right foundation as we start this endeavor is partnering with Mike Johnson and the Archangel Motorsports team, and Aston Martin Racing, all of whom know how to win,” said Coleman. “For me, life has become about the experiences; racing with Conrad and the Archangel Team at Daytona in my first-ever endurance race is certainly going to go down as one of my more epic experiences.”

Running as an opening act for the iconic IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s Rolex 24 At Daytona, the BMW M Endurance Challenge at Daytona will take the green flag on Friday, January 27 at 1:45 PM Eastern, with all four hours airing live on Peacock. For more information, visit imsa.com.

Rajah Caruth to join Richard Petty on NASCAR’s 2023 Rose Parade® float

By
Official Release
-

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – (Dec. 27, 2022) “The King” will have company during the 2023 Rose Parade® presented by Honda.

NASCAR announced today that NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series driver Rajah Caruth will join Richard Petty on “Always Forward” – its float that celebrates NASCAR’s 75th anniversary and the upcoming Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum.

“NASCAR’s 75th anniversary is all about honoring our past, celebrating our present and looking to our future,” said NASCAR Vice President of Marketing Services Patrick Rogers. “It’s only fitting that a driver like Rajah, who represents NASCAR’s now and beyond, joins our all-time winningest driver on this historic day for our sport.”

Caruth, who started his driving career on a computer, certainly represents a modern-day NASCAR success story. The 20-year-old from Washington, D.C., parlayed his success on the virtual iRacing platform to an invitation from NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity Program at the age of 16. That led to real-life driving opportunities at Rev Racing, which fielded cars for Caruth at the grassroots level and led to a full-time season in the national ARCA Menards Series last year. He finished third.

Now, Caruth finds himself on the threshold of his first full-time season in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. He’ll drive the No. 24 Chevrolet Silverado for GMS Racing with sponsorship from the Wendell Scott Foundation. The foundation, named in honor of the late NASCAR Hall of Famer, provides resources and services to underprivileged African American youth communities near Scott’s hometown of Danville, Virginia.

“This is going to be a great way to start 2023,” Caruth said. “It’s nothing short of an honor to ride along with Richard Petty in the Rose Parade and help introduce our sport to new audiences in Southern California and around the world.”

The float that will carry Caruth and “The King” on Jan. 2 features Petty’s iconic No. 43 race car, along with the No. 3 made popular by Dale Earnhardt and the No. 24 driven by Jeff Gordon. With the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum’s Peristyle and Olympic cauldron serving as a breathtaking backdrop, the cars race around a track surrounded by checkered flags, ribbons, palm trees and more.

Designed and constructed by Artistic Entertainment Services® (AES), the float is 25 feet tall, 55 feet long and headed by NASCAR’s 75th Anniversary diamond logo.

BRADEN CHIARAMONTE FINISHING OFF 2022 AT THE ANNUAL TULSA SHOOTOUT

By
Official Release
-

(El Cajon, CA, December 18, 2022) After a six-week break in his busy racing schedule, one of the nation’s brightest young open-wheel stars, Braden Chiaramonte, will close out the 2022 season in this week’s 38th Annual Lucas Oil Tulsa Shootout. It will be the second straight year that Chiaramonte has made the trek to the “Sooner State” for the prestigious race.

As this piece went to press, 15-year-old Chiaramonte was one of 1,536 pre-entered drivers. That number is expected to grow by the time the first race takes the green flag on Tuesday inside the massive SageNet Center at 7:00 p.m. CST. Racing will continue the following four nights culminating with the main events on Saturday.

Once the action kicks off, Chiaramonte will be a very busy driver. For the second year in a row at Tulsa, the El Cajon, California teen will be wheeling one of the Hyper House cars in the A Class Wing and Non-Wing divisions. That would be enough to keep some drivers busy for the week. However, it is only half the workload Chiaramonte is going to incur as he will also be racing his family-owned #73B in the Outlaw Non-Wing and Winged classes. What that boils down to is the fact that the young race-hungry star will be competing multiple times every night in all four classes.

Competing in four different classes should be no sweat for Chiaramonte. Thus far in 2022, he has raced 36 times in cars ranging from Micro Sprints to USAC National Midgets and Winged 360 Sprint Cars. His travels have seen him take the green flag in six different states (California, Oklahoma, Indiana, Texas, Nebraska, and Arizona) on 16 different tracks. Those tracks range from the Adobe Mountain Speedway in Arizona to a specially built clay oval in the infield of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Racing against some of the best veteran drivers in the nation, the well-spoken teen had 15 top-10 finishes, six top-five results, and two wins. The wins came in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series at the Imperial Valley Raceway on April 23rd and on the half-mile at Perris Auto Speedway on September 17th.

It was on New Year’s Day this year that Chiaramonte’s name grabbed the attention of fans across the nation. Then 14 years old and racing against 435 other drivers in the Stock Non-Wing class, he closed the important race week with an impressive ninth-place finish. Up till then, he was one of the best-kept secrets in open-wheel racing. That performance and subsequent showings throughout the 2022 campaign let the cat out of the bag and he is no longer a stranger to open-wheel racing fans across North America.

Festivities in Tulsa began on Monday morning when teams parked their rigs and purchased pit passes for the week of racing. Practice for all classes will commence on Tuesday at 7:00 a.m. with racing at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, racing will begin at 9:00 a.m. each day.

For fans unable to break away and get to Tulsa, every single lap of racing action is available with a subscription to Flo Racing. Full details on how you can watch Chiaramonte in all his races are available at https://www.floracing.com/.

Chiaramonte would like to thank sponsors RTL Traffic Control and A.M. Ortega Construction for making this week’s racing junket to Tulsa possible.

In other exciting news, Chiaramonte will be headed right back to Tulsa and the SageNet Center for the prestigious Chili Bowl Midget Nationals the second week in Janusry. Considered by many to be the most important midget race in the world, Chiaramonte will kick off his 2023 season behind the wheel of the Pete Davis Spike Chassis/Esslinger powered #00.

As the full 2023 season is just around the corner, Chiaramonte and his team are making plans for a busy year. If you are interested in becoming a marketing partner with one of the most talented and affable young drivers in the sport, please feel free to call or e-mail Daniel Chiaramonte mailto:dchiaramonte@rtltraffic.com or (619) 988 7563.
