Former F1 Driver, Endurance Racing Star Brendon Hartley to Join No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 at 2022 Petit Le Mans

Brownsburg, Ind. (August 30, 2022) — Hailing from New Zealand, multi-talented racing driver Brendon Hartley will accompany Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque in the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 squad for the 2022 MOTUL Petit Le Mans. As the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season finale, the 10-hour endurance event will be the title decider as well as the final race for the Daytona Prototype international (DPi) class before the series moves to the new LMDh hybrid format in 2023.

The team enters the final race weekend of the season with a 19-point championship lead in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship DPi class. Mathematically, if either the No. 10 Konica Minolta or No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura rolls off the line and starts the race at Road Atlanta, they will secure the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Manufacturers crown for Acura.

Hartley is a three-time overall Le Mans winner, two-time World Endurance Championship title winner and former full-time Formula 1 driver with Scuderia Torro Rosso, running a full season in 2018 and scoring points on three occasions. He has two IMSA podiums in his two most recent appearances, including an overall Petit Le Mans win in 2017.

This will be Hartley’s fourth Petit Le Mans outing. As a driver who knows what it takes to win the 10-hour day-to-night battle at Road Atlanta, he is keen to bring his skill behind the wheel to the IMSA championship fight in October.

“I’m very pleased to be joining Wayne Taylor Racing for Petit Le Mans,” said Brendon Hartley. “I have competed against them many times in the past and it’s clear they know how to win races and championships. When Wayne called me a few weeks ago, I jumped at the opportunity, especially having Ricky and Filipe as teammates. I’ve done Petit a few times before and it’s a special event for me—the race in which I made my American endurance racing debut back in 2012. It’s a tough, old-school track that all of the drivers love. I’m well aware that WTR is in the middle of a championship fight, which adds a little pressure, and I am up for it. I have already started to communicate with the engineers and my new teammates who are giving me all the information needed to help me get up to speed quickly.”

Team owner Wayne Taylor is excited to welcome the decorated New Zealander to his driver stable and eager for him to help power the Konica Minolta crew to the 2022 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship DPi title.

“Brendon and I have been in touch for several years now, looking for the right opportunity to work together,” said team owner Wayne Taylor, inaugural Petit Le Mans winner and three-time winner as an owner. “He is massively talented and what he brings to our mission is exemplary. His track record at Le Mans, F1 and in the World Endurance Championship speaks for itself. Just as importantly, he will be a great teammate to Ricky and Filipe and an excellent fit for our team.”

President of Honda Performance Development (HPD), David Salters, oversees Honda’s U.S. racing and engineering activities and works directly with the company’s racing teams and sponsors.

“We are thrilled to have Brendon on board and to drive our championship and Daytona winning Acura ARX-05,” said David Salters, President of Honda Powered Development (HPD). “It is very cool to have Brendon come join the fun and race with Ricky and Felipe—that’s a super-stout world class driver line up right there!”

Long-time partner of Wayne Taylor Racing and the IMSA WeatherTech series, Konica Minolta Business Solutions has been a part of the team’s successful run at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta for many years and is looking forward to the excitement that the series finale always brings.

“We are very excited to have Brendon joining us as we enter the final race with the championship lead,” added Chief of Operations & Sales Enablement – North America at Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc., Michael Mathe. “This series delivers exciting racing and the season finale at Petit seems to consistently come down to that final corner! Now, with the addition of Brendon to the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 line-up, we can’t wait to see the team perform at its best and cross the finish line.”

Wayne Taylor Racing and Konica Minolta plan to announce their driver lineups in the GTP class for the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech Championship season after the Petit Le Mans finale.

MOTUL Petit Le Mans takes place on October 1st, 2022. Watch green flag coverage live on NBC between 12:00 p.m. ET and 3:00 p.m. ET with coverage of the run to the finish on USA Network between 7:00 p.m. ET and 10:30 p.m. ET. Flag-to-flag coverage will stream on Peacock starting at 12:00 p.m. ET.

Toyota Racing – Christopher Bell

NASCAR Cup Series Quotes

DARLINGTON, S.C. (August 30, 2022) – Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell was made available to media prior to the Darlington Raceway race this Tuesday:

CHRISTOPHER BELL, No. 20 Yahoo Toyota Camry TRD, Joe Gibbs Racing

Does your approach change since most of the Playoff field is very close together?

“I think for me it makes our Playoffs a little bit easier than what it was last year because everyone in front of us is a little closer to us. So last year, when we got into the Playoffs, we knew that we needed to capitalize on more bonus points this year. This year, I think we ended up with a couple more but the whole field – or the guys up front – ended up with less points and brought them back to us. There is definitely not a clear-cut group of guys that have a bunch of bonus points that can kind of cruise their way through the systems. You are going to have to make sure you perform every single race. I think it is going to increase the intensity for sure because you can’t have guys that are just out there riding around like you could in years past.”

What changed after the early season struggles?

“I think it was just misfortune early in the year. The way the schedule lays out with Daytona starting the season. So much is out of your control there and then we went to California and ended up blowing up an engine. I think that a lot of it was just circumstantial stuff and we performed well in those first five races, we just didn’t have great box scores. Leaving those races, even though we were down in the points, I was still feeling good about our group and how we performed, and we finally started getting the results that we needed after we got some momentum on our side.”

What did you learn from last year’s Playoff run?

“Last year’s Playoff run was definitely a learning experience and just not beating yourself. The first round went decent, even though we had a couple of flaws, we were able to make it through that first round and then the second round we started off with at Las Vegas with a 24th-place finish. Just not eliminating ourselves. I think we have the performance capability in this No. 20 group to make it deep into the Playoffs. It is just going to be a matter if we can execute and get away with limiting our mistakes and getting the results that we are capable of getting.”

How well can you build off of your momentum through the summer and how does the first three races look to you?

“So really, all of the tracks – minus Talladega – I really enjoy and have a lot of fun at. The Playoffs, I think, plays well into our strengths with a bunch of mile-and-a-halves. Phoenix, being the final four, is a great race track for me. We will see how we can do. Looking at the near future with Darlington, Kansas and Bristol, I feel really good about all three of those tracks. The second round is probably going to be the hardest with Talladega and the ROVAL – I say that it’s all going to be hard – but Talladega and ROVAL definitely is a wild card round.”

Do you feel the NextGen car is as safe as it could be?

“I think it is a really, really big deal and it needs to be address sooner rather than later. I know the few small hits that I’ve taken – you feel it a lot more – and most of the time it is in your head, not in your body.”

How much pressure is there to start the Playoffs with a strong finish?

“Yes and no. Darlington is such a tough race track and the Southern 500 is such a long race that you just have to not beat yourself and guys are going to have adversity. Last year, I think out of the 16 Playoff drivers, darn near every one of them had their own problems throughout the race. Just making sure that you get through there clean is the number one goal. The round of 16 has kind of been that way at least for me the last two years – just don’t beat yourself. Take your top-10 or whatever you are capable of, whether that is a top-10, top-five, top-three – you need to maximize your day and move on to the next one, but Darlington is a really easy place to get yourself in trouble and that is the number one no-no going into the weekend.”

With the strengths of the mile-a-halves for Toyota, how does the schedule help you?

“I think that the race tracks really play into our hands for sure. I would expect Darlington, Kansas, Homestead, Texas, Vegas – all of those race tracks to be ones that we perform well at. The ROVAL is definitely one that we have circled – on a place that we need to focus on to get better. That’s no secret. The tracks are there, so hopefully we are able to execute on the tracks that we are good at and have great showings. It is always easier said than done because everyone is going to be bringing their best stuffs. I wouldn’t expect the Toyotas to have a huge advantage, but those are our strengths for sure.”

Have you adjusted any of your head support with any of your hits this season?

“My seats, my head rests – I’m very content with and it is the same thing that I’ve had for the last number of years and it’s by the rule book and it passes all of the inspections and stuff like that. It’s just a matter of getting the car to absorb the impacts and not your body, specifically your head. It’s a big deal and I hope NASCAR is able to make some progress on it here quickly.”

How beneficial is it having Adam Stevens as your crew chief going into this Playoffs?

“Adam (Stevens) is definitely one of the best crew chiefs that you can ask for. A guy that has won two championships and before last year, I think he made the final four darn near every year with Kyle (Busch). He definitely knows the ins-and-outs of it. It is really cool to just be able to sit with him in his office. He has everything mapped on roughly how he expects it to lay out and how many points we need to win per event. He’s been around the block for sure, so I lean on him a lot to lead us down this path. I feel like if I do my job, we are going to have a really good shot at having a great showing.”

What are your goals for your second year in the Playoffs?

“I feel good about where we are at. My expectations are to hopefully make the round of 8. Last year, we made the round of 12 and I feel like we are stronger than where we were last year and last year, if we didn’t have a bad race in the round of 12, we arguably were in the hunt for the round of 8. Hopefully, we can get to the round of 8 and see where our performance stacks up there.”

What tracks do you like the most in the Playoffs?

“That’s a tough question, because I really enjoy a handful of them. Darlington is a great track. Kansas, Bristol – that makes up the entire first round. Those are all good tracks for me. Talladega, ROVAL are definitely my two least favorite, but it is mixed in there with Vegas, Texas, Homestead, Martinsville – they are all really good race tracks for me, minus the Talladega and ROVAL.”

How emotional was the win in New Hampshire?

“Winning New Hampshire was a really big burst of gratifying feelings. We were right in the middle of the points hunt to make it in and as it turns out, only one guys made it to the drivers points off of the point standings, so that was going to be really tough to do. We got in on the driver’s side and the owner’s side. It was a really big deal for sure.”

What can be done with the weather situation like we saw in Daytona?

“I wish I had a good answer for you, but I really don’t. It puts everybody – or at least NASCAR – in a big box. They are under an extreme amount of pressure to race as quick as we can and get as much of the race in while we can. I really don’t think there is a real answer – we try to race as soon as possible – and we try to race as long as possible before it starts to rain again, so making sure you try to hit the yellow button before the rain comes is important and getting the track dry and back to racing as soon as we can once it is dry is important, so I don’t know if there is any other way around that.”

● Back for More: Earlier this year, Almirola announced that he would step down from fulltime racing following the 2022 season. In the course of the year, Almirola has discovered a new balance between his passion for racing and dedication to his family. His wife Janice, and kids Alex and Abby, join him on most race weekends, oftentimes enjoying once-in-a-lifetime experiences together as they travel the country. His rapport with crew chief Drew Blickensderfer has flourished, and the intense pressure he had put on himself was replaced with the joy of simply being present. Not only did Almirola see a new perspective on the sport, but so did anchor partner Smithfield Foods, who broached the subject of Almirola returning to fulltime racing in 2023. On Friday, Aug. 26, Almirola, Stewart-Haas Racing, and Smithfield Foods announced their return with a multi-year agreement and the largest allotment of races since joining the team in 2018. View the full press release here.

● Beyond the 10 YouTube Series: In 2022, Almirola is once again sharing his life beyond the No. 10 Smithfield Ford with season four of his award-winning YouTube series. Fans and media can subscribe on YouTube to see Almirola’s personality on and off the track. Episodes have already featured life as a dad, a husband and an athlete, and it gives fans a unique perspective on what goes on in the life of a professional NASCAR driver. Fans can also follow Almirola’s social media channels: @Aric_Almirola on Twitter and Instagram, and @AricAlmirola on Facebook.

● Almirola was the only NASCAR Cup Series driver to finish in the top-10 in this year’s opening three races. He finished fifth in the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, sixth at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, and sixth at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Almirola’s top-10 streak ended with a 12th-place finish at Phoenix despite running inside the top-10 throughout the race.

Aric Almirola, Driver of the No. 10 Renegade Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing:

Do you enjoy racing at Darlington?

“I always enjoy going to Darlington. It is a really tough racetrack – they call it ‘Too Tough Too Tame’ and that’s the slogan for a reason. The technicality of that racetrack is so difficult. It’s not like any other racetrack we go to and I know that each and every racetrack is unique, but Darlington is very unique. It has two corners that are very different and the racing surface is very narrow. We predominately race up against the fence, so we’re at 180 miles an hour and you’re trying to run 1 to 2 inches off the wall with very little room for error. One little slip and one little slide and you’re in the fence, so it’s just a very difficult racetrack, but that’s why we all love it. We found a lot of speed when we went there earlier this year and I think we’ve only progressed, so we’re expecting to unload with a fast Renegade Ford this weekend.”

Last weekend, you announced that you would continue racing the No. 10 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing. Tell us about that decision.

“I’ve learned a lot this year and perhaps the biggest learning was to never say never. I came into this year ready to soak everything up, and I have. I already knew I had the coolest job in the world, but being with my family and being there for Janice and Alex and Abby was really important. My desire to compete and win never wavered, but I didn’t want it to come at the expense of family. We found a way to accommodate both and I’ve never been happier. Smithfield is a big part of that. They’ve been a part of my life for 11 years and, really, my entire NASCAR Cup Series career. They’re family to me. And, of course, it’s always nice to be wanted. Smithfield wanted me to continue representing them. Stewart-Haas Racing wanted me to continue driving their racecars. Everything just aligned and it’s something we all embraced. The original decision to step away from fulltime racing at the end of the season was a family one, and so is this decision. Janice, Alex and Abby are just as excited as I am to continue racing.”

You’re not in the playoffs this year, but there is still a lot to look forward to. What are your goals for the remainder of the season?

“We obviously wish we were in the playoffs to have a run at the championship, so that is tough. This year has had so much parity with new winners and an extremely competitive series. This new car has really leveled the playing field. I think this year is going to be different with cars that are not in the playoffs, though. Our team has found more and more speed each weekend and we’re constantly progressing. We’re not holding back anything for the next 10 weeks. While our goal to win a championship is gone, we’re still planning to run like championship contenders and make our presence known.”

Keen Parts Honors Jeff Gordon with Throwback Paint Scheme at Darlington

By
Official Release
-

MOORESVILLE, N.C- (August 29th, 2022) – Keen Parts / CorvetteParts.net, NASCAR Driver Ryan Ellis, and Alpha Prime Racing are proud to announce today that Keen Parts / CorvetteParts.net will be running a throwback paintscheme honoring NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon at the NASCAR Xfinity Series race, the Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help A Hero 200, at Darlington Raceway this Saturday, September 3rd, 2022.

The scheme represented is the iconic flames scheme that 4-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Jeff Gordon drove for many years, with this particular design replicated after his a special race in 2007 in the No.24 for Hendrick Motorsports. Gordon ran this fire-and-flames scheme when he tied Dale Earnhardt’s win record at 76 wins – April 21st, 2007. Gordon was also Ellis’ favorite driver growing up ith Ellis making his Cup Series debut at Phoenix in 2015, Gordon’s last full-time season.

CorvetteParts.net, a family-owned business owned by Tom and TJ Keen, sells parts and accessories for Corvette-lovers of all generations. They have been loyal NASCAR sponsors and friends of many within the industry since 2011, supporting drivers of all levels since then. The Keen’s are known for using their sponsorship to create fun and meaningful schemes – last month they elected to donate their sponsorship to run a special Autism Awareness / Autism Acceptance scheme at Michigan International Speedway with a colorful hand-drawn car, created by the family of former NHL Player Chris Thorburn and his wife Sara. Their three children, Bennett, Mary, and Oscar, sketched out the car’s design at home. Later in September, they will run a lavender scheme at Bristol Motor Speedway, raising money for the Laughlin Family Foundation and their mission to fight rare cancers.

“We are excited to have this Jeff Gordon throwback for Ryan. He is a big fan of Jeff Gordon and I don’t think the designer (Alpha Prime Racing designer Ryan Pistana) could have gotten any closer to replicating the original car as this. We know it is going to look really sweet on track,” said TJ Keen.

“Jeff was definitely my favorite driver growing up so it’s really cool to be able to run this scheme with Keen Parts. I had so much “24” apparel and dressed up as Jeff for Halloween, so it’ll be really meaningful to put a similar looking firesuit on and strap into the CorvetteParts.net Chevy at Darlington Raceway. Darlington is one of the most iconic tracks on our schedule so there could not be a better place to do this at. We’re really thankful to have such creative and flexible partners as the Keen’s – their brand flexibility is what makes so many of their paint schemes fan-favorites,” said Ellis, driver of the No.44 Keen Parts Chevy.

Tommy Joe Martins, General Manager of Alpha Prime Racing, said, “This is such a cool throwback to one of the greatest drivers in the history of our sport. Thanks to Jeff Gordon for giving us a chance and Tom and TJ Keen for all they do for our race team.”

Tune-in information: The Keen Parts’ throwback paint scheme will first hit the track at 10:05 am ET on Saturday, September 3rd for a short practice session. Single-lap qualifying follows at 10:35 am ET leading into Saturday afternoon’s Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help A Hero 200, with coverage beginning at 3:00 pm ET on the USA Network. Stay tuned to Ryan’s and Keen Parts’ social media for giveaways and more information!

M&M’S Racing: Kyle Busch Darlington Advance

KYLE BUSCH
Primed for the Playoffs

HUNTERSVILLE, North Carolina (Aug. 30, 2022) – On its own, the 1.366 mile egg-shaped oval at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway is a daunting challenge for NASCAR Cup Series competitors. But add in the fact that Sunday’s Cook Out Southern 500 is the first of the 10-race Cup Series playoffs and it’s a recipe for a long, grueling night this Labor Day weekend.

Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’S Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), certainly feels up to the task. The two-time Cup Series champion enters the postseason seeded 11th and carrying 10 playoff points to start this year’s run for the title.

As Busch and the M&M’S team head back to Darlington, they return to a place where they’ve won before and Busch has enjoyed recent success. In fact, Busch has brought home top-five finishes four times in the last eight Darlington races, and had another strong run going on the 1.366-mile, egg-shaped oval in May before being collected by another car with a blown tire that ended his race early.

The Las Vegas native conquered “The Track Too Tough To Tame” in May 2008, which earned him the distinction of being the youngest Cup Series winner – at 23 years of age – in the track’s storied history. Busch also has two Xfinity Series wins at Darlington, coming in May 2011 and 2013.

Since joining JGR in 2008, Busch has brought home six top-five finishes and 12 top-10s in 18 Darlington starts for JGR, but he’s still looking to back up his lone Cup Series victory there.

So as the Cup Series heads to Darlington for Sunday night’s Southern 500, Busch knows he’ll need to not only race his fellow competitors, but also the “Lady in Black,” as the aptly named racetrack will be a challenge of its own. Add the fact that it’s the kickoff to the 2022 playoffs and the racing is sure to be exciting and entertaining as the 16 title contenders start a typically compelling final 10 weeks of the season with a champion to be crowned the first weekend in November.

KYLE BUSCH, Driver of the No. 18 M&M’S Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing:

What are you expectations going back to Darlington for the second time this year?

“We’ve had good speed with our Toyota group on the mile-and-a-half and 2-mile tracks. We’ve been good at those places. Under a mile, we’ve struggled a bit, and road courses we’ve struggled a bit, as well. Would like to think we have a good shot at Darlington this weekend. We were running in the top-four the last time there and a car in front of us blew a tire and crashed and we got caught up in that. So don’t need any of that this time around. I would like to think we can go to Darlington and run in the top-five for sure and maybe even improve our program from the last time we were there and go out there and get a win with our M&M’S Camry.”

What is the most challenging part about Darlington, especially with it opening the playoffs the last few years?

“Darlington is a tough track. They call it the ‘Lady in Black’ for a reason. It seems like whether the pavement is worn out like it is now, it seems slick, or if it’s a brand new racetrack, the pavement still seems slick. That really kind of lends itself to some tough racing there. Being on the inside of guys and having a track that is only two lanes wide with the cars going around there at 170 or 180 mph, it makes it difficult for us. You try to pick and choose those battles as you go on throughout the race and try to pass those guys in the right spot so you don’t get in a bad spot where you break your momentum going forward into the next turn.”

Do you notice the racing getting different once you get into the playoffs with so much more at stake?

“Definitely. I feel like things do amp up and (drivers) race each other a lot harder and there’s a lot more on the line. You have to pick and choose your battles, but when you get into these playoff races, and even more so in the cutoff races, every position is a point and every point counts as you try to navigate and get through each round. So you just have to know who you are racing and what they have at stake and be smart. But you never know what it’s going to come down to that will get you to the next round or eventually to the final four, which is where all of us want to be to have a shot at a championship at the end of the year.”

At Darlington, do you wait to get toward the front as it gets later in the race when the sun is starts going down? How does the track change as it goes from afternoon to early evening there?

“You start the race off there and you just don’t want to hit the wall. We know how easy it is to get into the wall and get a Darlington ‘stripe.’ You don’t want to hit the wall and take yourself out of a chance to win the race. The early stages of the race, you are biding your time and racing the racetrack and you are trying not to put yourself in a bad spot, and you aren’t worrying about competition, and you aren’t trying to take too many chances. As it gets deeper into the race and closer to the checkered flag, you are definitely going to be going for it and, if you can find even a half-inch of grip by getting a half-inch closer to the wall because that’s where the speed is at, you’ve just got to do it.”

TPC Racing and Billy Johnson Score First IMSA Lamborghini Super Trofeo Pro Podium Finish of the Year at VIRginia International Raceway

Third-Place Pro Podium for Johnson in the No. 71 DSC Sport/Erin Levitas Foundation Lamborghini Huracán and P4 Am-Class Finish for Wesley Slimp and Tyler Hoffman in No. 9 HNTB Companies Lamborghini Huracán Highlight Competitive TPC Racing Performance at VIR

DANVILLE, Virginia (August 29, 2022) – TPC Racing and team driver Billy Johnson scored their first Pro-class podium finish of the IMSA Lamborghini Super Trofeo season Sunday at VIRginia International Raceway (VIR) with a third-place showing in the No. 71 DSC Sport/Erin Levitas Foundation Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 in the final North American race of the season.

Johnson started from the outside front row, led the 50-minute sprint twice and overcame a late-race car issue to secure the long overdue Pro-class and overall podium finish. Johnson took the lead for the second time in the race with a perfectly timed restart just past the halfway point but also had to deal with the mandatory additional three seconds single-driver Pro-class entries must spend in the pits during stops. He battled in the led pack until the checkered flag and crossed the line for the No. 71’s best finish of the year after defending the final podium position to the finish.

Saturday’s TPC Racing highlight was a fourth-place Am-class finish by co-drivers Wesley Slimp and Tyler Hoffman in the No. 9 HNTB Companies Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2. The No. 9 was in a position to improve on that result with a podium finish in Sunday’s final race but Slimp unfortunately slowed and retired the HNTB Lamborghini on course with a driveline issue early in his race-ending stint.

The VIR doubleheader brought the North American portion of the IMSA Super Trofeo season to a close. TPC Racing and its pair of Lamborghini teams now shift their Super Trofeo focus to preparing for the season-ending event in Portimão in Southern Portugal, November 3 – 6, where both the Super Trofeo North America final rounds and the 2022 Grand Finals will be held.

Next up for TPC Racing is this Labor Day Weekend’s Porsche Sports Car Together Fest event at Indianapolis Motors Speedway (IMSA) where the team fields an expanded and season-high entry of five cars in the weekend’s Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama doubleheader. A press release on the five entries will be issued later this week.

Harris Levitas, TPC Racing Director of Race Operations: “I am extremely proud of the whole TPC Racing team. Everybody has done a fantastic job all year long. They guys just never say no. They never stop. I am proud of the team and all the drivers as well. We have had a lot to work on and learn all season long with the Lamborghini Super Trofeo car. It is our first year running with a Pro-class car and it has been a lot of work, but Billy drove amazing as always. Saturday we finished in P5 but on Sunday we were finally able to get a podium finish in the Pro class, which is a first for TPC Racing. We ended up having a small issue with the car at the end but Billy Johnson still had an amazing drive. The issues just kept him from getting the win that he truly deserves, but his lap times were there all weekend. Wesley and Tyler in the No. 9 car did an amazing job to and were looking at a podium Sunday to go with Saturday’s fourth-place finish but a mechanical issue took them out. We will get both cars all sorted out and ready to go for the North American and Grand Finals in Portugal. It’s great to end the North American season with at least one podium for each of the three teams we have fielded this year in three different classes. It really comes down to the hard work that the TPC Racing crew puts in, at the track until the early hours of the morning, or back at the shop doing the same thing. It’s really great to have podium success with all three cars this year and a nice way to round out the races in the U.S.”

Billy Johnson, Driver – No. 71 DSC Sport/Erin Levitas Foundation Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2: “It’s great to finally get a podium for the No. 71 TPC Racing Lamborghini. We have just been working so hard this year, have had so many hurdles thrown at us and the guys at the shop have just been busting their butts going through the whole chassis. They have addressed a lot of underlying issues, we came to the race this weekend and the car was really fast, but those issues reared their ugly head again. The guys pulled nearly an all-nighter getting the car repaired once again for the race. We qualified second and led in Sunday’s race but unfortunately the problems that keep holding us back arose again. But I had an awesome restart call from Harris to get us into the lead and give us a big gap to stay close after the pit stop. I am just really proud of everybody for all of the hard work, at the shop and at the track where the guys are working non-stop. Hopefully we will get all of these things solidified so they don’t hold us back and we can shoot for the top step in Portugal. I am really looking forward to being back in Europe, particularly with the TPC Racing guys.”

Wesley Slimp, Driver – No. 9 HNTB Companies Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2: “I like how I approached this track in adapting the way I drive. Continuing to chip away is what I can take out of this weekend. I don’t think the results necessarily reflect the work that we are putting in at all, but we will be there. Everything just has to happen at the right time and all at once. My comfort level going wheel-to-wheel with some really aggressive drivers with all sorts of other stuff going on out on track has grown and been monumental for my driving.”

Tyler Hoffman, Driver – No. 9 HNTB Companies Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2: “It was a great weekend. The TPC boys busted their ass all weekend to give us the best car they could. We had some very unique mechanical issues, but the guys never quit, never complained, kept their heads down and got it done. To end with a DNF is not what we wanted, but all things considered, we had a lot of fun. It was good to see the fans, see some friends and Wesley did a great job all weekend.”

Round 3 Racing looks to keep the momentum going into VIR

By
Official Release
-

ALTON, Va. (29 August 2022) – Looking forward to the fast uphill esses and the blind bends at the end of the back straightway, Round 3 Racing (R3R) drivers are ready to get back into action at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) this weekend. The weekend is the eighth World Racing League powered by Hagerty (WRL) event of the season, and marks a return to action following a two-month hiatus from the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta weekend, where the team scored three wins.

Having had a winning outing last year at VIR with the No. 701 Porsche Cayman, the team is looking forward to getting back to action this weekend.

No. 401 TEAM HAGERTY MOTORSPORTS BMW M4 GT4 (GTO)

Brad McCall, Sarah Montgomery, and Cole Loftsgard will search for redemption heading into the weekend. Last year at VIR, the team was behind the wheel of the No. 702 Porsche Boxster but fell into issues that forced them into the garage both days of the race weekend.

The team has been proving themselves on Fridays during qualifying, with four straight pole awards going into this weekend. The Hagerty BMW team is focused on repeating the results after a win at Road Atlanta in July.

Currently, the No. 401 team is sitting sixth in the National Championship Points Standings, just one point behind fifth place. R3R has three race weekends remaining in the season, with outings at VIR, Sebring International Raceway, and Circuit of the Americas.

“I am beyond ready to get back in the seat of a race car,” Montgomery said. “Last year at VIR, we did not have any good luck, so I’m hoping to have a better showing there this year. We have our new BMW (vs. the Cayman last year), fast teammates, and the crew to help us get to the top step!”

No. 609 TEAM SENTINEL BMW M4 GT4 (GTO)

Teaming up once again, James Candelaria, Brian Ghidinelli, and Ron Hugate will pilot the No. 609 Sentinel BMW. The team ran into some mechanical issues last year, forcing them to retire early from both races in the No. 601 Porsche Cayman.

Candelaria and Hugate are both veterans of the Virginia track, but this will be Ghidinelli’s first time visiting with Round 3 Racing. The three last teamed up at Road Atlanta, earning a top-five finish on Saturday. Candelaria, Ghidinelli, and Hugate have shown promising speed in previous races and hope it translates to VIR.

The No. 609 team sits ninth in National Championship Points Standings in the GTO category.

“I’ve been to VIR many times, it’s one of my favorite tracks,” said Hugate. “The esses are as close as you can come to both heaven and hell on this Earth. When you hit them ‘just right’, there is nothing like it. When you hit them ‘just wrong’, hold on for dear life. We have three excellent and experienced drivers and the right car for this track. I am optimistic about our chances.”

No. 701 TEAM COOPER TIRES PORSCHE CAYMAN (GP1)

The No. 701 Cooper Tires team welcomes newcomer Ayla Agren this weekend. Agren will be joining Loni Unser and Zack Ping behind the wheel. The No. 701 won at VIR last year, so the trio will target another run to the top step of the podium again this weekend.

Unser is the remaining factor from last year’s No. 701 team. Ping has brought tremendous speed to the car, but this will be his first time attempting the 3.27-mile track. Agren will be back in action at VIR for the first time since she ran F1600 in 2014. Agren has qualified on pole and has had three top-five finishes at VIR.

The No. 701 Cooper Tires team is tied for third in National Championship Points Standings, making them the closest to the National Title for R3R.

“I am super excited to be back at VIR for new challenges and this time in the Porsche Cayman No. 701 with Round 3 Racing,” said Agren. “It will be quite different from last time I was there, so I’m going to soak up as much as I can from my teammates Loni and Zack, keep it clean and have a great weekend all together. I can not thank all involved enough for this opportunity – and can’t wait for the weekend to start!”

No. 605 TEAM HAGERTY DRIVERS CLUB PORSCHE BOXSTER (GP3)

Behind the wheel of the No. 605 Hagerty Drivers Club Porsche Boxster is Buz McCall, Dennis Neel, Carter Pease, and Hannah Grisham. Neel and Pease were both in the Boxter last year when mechanical gremlins set the effort back.

The current Hagerty Drivers Club team is coming off a double-win weekend at Road Atlanta. Pease made late race passes for both days for the lead, bringing the car to the top step. All four drivers bring the expertise of the track to the team.

The No. 605 is fourth in the National Championship Points Standings.

“I am really excited to race at VIR, and I think our 605 car will be strong,” said Neel. “Last year, we should have been on the podium both days, but challenges ultimately prevented that from happening. I think our 605 team learned a lot about what it means to be patient on this course that rolls through the hills of southern Virginia. Our goal is to continue to keep pressure on the championship race and make up for last year’s adventure with the ultimate goal of standing at the top of those green steps this weekend.”

The Virginia International Raceway weekend will start on Friday, September 2, with practice and qualifying before heading into the double-header weekend on Saturday. Live streaming will be available on WRL’s Youtube or follow along on our social media channels.

How To Replace Your Car Battery Toggle Clamp

By
SM
-

A toggle clamp is a versatile tool used in several applications to ensure a workpiece stays in a locked position. They operate using the toggle action, a principle of over-center locking. It utilizes a system of pivots and levers to move the linkage to the center using the clamping handle. The handle then joins the center to hold the intended object in place. 

People use toggle clamps to hold their car batteries due to their ready availability and accessibility. You’ll find a range of options when searching for a toggle clamp that’s convenient for you. 

If you’re already using them, you may be required to change them occasionally due to corrosion and other wear and tear issues. You can take it to a mechanic to help with the replacement or do it yourself with the help of the following tips on how to replace your car battery toggle clamp:

  1. Disconnect The Battery And Remove The Old Clamp

Disconnecting your car battery is the first and most important step when replacing the battery toggle clamp. Start by turning off the ignition key once your car is parked safely on a flat surface. Pick the right size of wrench you’ll need to unfasten the clamp nuts. You’ll need one wrench if the terminal uses one bolt, but if it uses both a bolt and a nut, you may need to use two spanners. 

The first terminal to disconnect should be the negative cable to avoid the risk of shock and possible sparks that may lead to damage or explosion of the battery. Once you’ve disconnected the negative terminal successfully, proceed to disconnect the positive cable while ensuring it doesn’t make contact with the vehicle chassis. Don’t bridge the negative and positive terminals. 

The next step is to remove the old toggle clamp. Most battery clamps have about 10 mm bolts, but to be sure, you’ll need to know the type of your battery’s toggle clamp. You may refer to this source for all information you need on toggle clamps and other applications that can also use these clamps.

  1. Clean The Battery Terminals And Tray

You’ll have to clean the battery terminals and tray before installing the new clamp to remove dirt and debris. You don’t need to remove the battery entirely from your car for this, but if it makes it easier, you may want to consider it. Before cleaning, examine the battery’s condition, too. If it’s cracked or leaking the battery acid, consider replacing it. Proceed with the cleaning once you’ve noticed no leakages or cracks on your car’s battery. 

Moreover, you’ll have to assess the battery cables to know the extent of corrosion and wear. If corroded, you’ll see an ashy, white deposit on the battery posts. Use a mixture of baking soda and water as your cleaning agent. The mixture is alkaline, and it will neutralize the corrosion. Get a small soft wire brush or rag with which to apply the soda to the affected area, and rinse off with a clean wet towel or rag. You can also research other car maintenance tips to help maintain the quality of your car and save you money and time spent on fixing and replacing different parts of your vehicle.

  1. Install The New Clamp

By now, you’ve already disconnected, removed the old clamps, and cleaned your battery terminals, and you’re now ready to install the new clamp. Thus, examine the clamp you’re about to replace and see whether you have the best fit for their replacement. 

Ensure that the clamp, bolts, and nuts work perfectly with your car battery. Once you’re done, proceed to install it as carefully as you removed it. Make sure that the contact surface is always clean throughout the process.

  1. Reconnect And Test The Battery

The last step is to reconnect and test whether the battery is functioning. First, ensure you’ve carefully cleaned everything before reconnecting the car battery. Unlike disconnecting, you’ll have to connect the positive terminal followed by the negative terminal. 

Fix the car battery into its tray while positioning the terminals correctly, clamp it into place using the newly installed toggle clamp, and connect the battery.

Lastly, you’ll need to restart the car to check whether the installation was successful. Turn on the ignition key to ensure there’s power, and start your motor to ensure there are no problems. 

Conclusion

Replacing your car battery toggle clamp is a simple procedure. Most people would rather take it to a mechanic to have it done on their behalf, but doing it yourself can save you a lot of resources. Let the above tips help you change your toggle clamp like a professional. Who knows, but this may even be the beginning of a new interest.

If you’re looking to win big money playing online slots, there are a few tips and tricks you can follow to improve your chances. Of course, you’re trying to win as much money as possible. Above all else, you want to put stacks of cash in your pocket and a smile on your face.

Perform a deep financial dive

To play สล็อตเว็บตรง แตกง่าย successfully, knowing the odds of winning is important. The higher the payout percentage, the better your chances of getting a big win. You also want to make sure you’re choosing games with jackpot potential. This means that your slot machine has a high-denomination jackpot available for players who get lucky enough to hit the right combination of symbols. When picking a game, it’s ultimately up to personal preference – but remember, the bigger the jackpot, the better your chances of winning are!

Once you’ve chosen a game, it’s time to start spinning those reels! Slots are all about luck, so there’s no one-size-fits-all strategy that will guarantee success. However, there are a few things you can do to improve your chances. First, always bet the maximum amount possible – this gives you the best chance of triggering that big jackpot. Second, take advantage of any bonus features or special symbols that can help increase your winnings. And finally, don’t forget to have fun! Playing online slots should be enjoyable, so go ahead and try out a few different games until you find one that’s right for you.

Understand the casino’s payout rates and win percentages

When it comes to gambling, knowledge is power. If you want to improve your chances of winning, you must know the payout rates and win percentages for the casino games you’re playing. The house edge is the built-in advantage that the casino has over players, and it varies from game to game. For example, slot machines have a higher house edge than blackjack.

Knowing the payout ratios can help you choose games that are more likely to pay out, and betting on multiple lines or coins increases your chances of winning on any given spin. Of course, no one can predict the future, but understanding the odds will give you a better chance of coming out ahead in the long run.

Try to go for the maximum payout on each spin

When it comes to playing slots, your best bet is to choose a game with a high payout percentage. But what exactly is payout percentage, and how can you find games that offer the best chance of winning? Payout percentage measures how much a slot machine pays out for each dollar that is wagered. The higher the payout percentage, the better your chances of winning.

Generally speaking, you’ll find that online slots have higher payout percentages than their brick-and-mortar counterparts. This is because online casinos have lower overhead costs and can therefore afford to offer more generous payouts.

When looking for games with high payout percentages, it’s always a good idea to do some research beforehand. Checking out casino review sites can be a helpful way to learn about which games offer the best chance of winning. With a little bit of effort, you’ll be able to find slots with payout percentages that will give you a fighting chance at hitting the jackpot.

Auto Accident Settlement: An Easy Guide to Getting a Cash Advance

It could be challenging to determine the fault for the crash while settling an auto accident. Once the parties settle this matter, you may still have to wait some more time for receiving your compensation from your claim. According to Forbes, before you file a claim, it is critical to know and understand your rights, timelines, and legal requirements of a car accident lawsuit to ensure you get complete and fair compensation for personal and property damages. 

You may face difficulty living your life while you are waiting to get the auto accident settlement. Because of the accident, you may not be in a position to earn money. Besides no income, your medical bills and other expenses may be piling up. In such a situation, you may consider lawsuit loans. In this context, you should know that a lawsuit loan helps provide cash right now for a settlement you should be receiving in the future.

How Auto Accident Funding Works

It is critical to understand how funding for auto accident settlements works. You may consider applying for a cash advance before the settlement anytime, during your auto accident lawsuit, before filing a lawsuit. The lawsuit funding firm will be speaking with your lawyer, examining your case, and deciding if you are the perfect candidate for offering an auto accident lawsuit advance. Next, your lawyer will examine the funding agreement, and if everything seems fine, he will give the lawsuit funding firm the necessary approval.

You may consider applying for a cash advance before the settlement anytime, during your auto accident lawsuit, before filing a lawsuit. When choosing the right lawsuit firm, it’s vital you do research looking into reviews from previous cases. For example see Legal Bay and similar companies which have fantastic customer reviews, ensuring your funding will be dealt with professionally.

The funding firm will give a part of your potential court award money or future settlement. You may use this money for covering a host of expenses like: 

  • Lost wages
  • Medical costs
  • Bills or expenses related to the cost of living and more

When you receive your settlement check, a portion of the total compensation amount will be paid by your lawyer to the funding firm.

Tips to Seamless Receive a Cash Advance

It is of pivotal importance to hire a highly-skilled and qualified auto accident attorney and then follow the tips given below.

Look for a Lawsuit Funding Company with Proper Accreditation & Licensing

You should identify a lawsuit funding firm after doing ample research online. You may consider your lawyer’s recommendations. Choose a trusted and reputed company with all the necessary licensing and accreditation. You may doubly verify their authenticity and legitimacy by browsing the Better Business Bureau.

Complete the Basic Prep Work 

If you wish to receive an impressive cash advance, you may start cooperating with your lawyer. If your lawyer suggests specific medical treatment or examination, it is best to show up for all scheduled appointments on time on specified dates. All this documentation will go towards evidence building to support your auto accident lawsuit case. It will boost your chances of receiving a favorable trial award or settlement.

Transparency is the Key

It is best to be transparent with your lawyer. Do not consider hiding any information from the auto lawsuit funding company. Hiding facts of the case may hurt or weaken your case. As per your lawyer’s advice, you may provide the right evidence or documentation to the company.

Conclusion

With the expertise of your lawyer, you will receive a portion of your compensation or settlement funding in advance. Your attorney should examine and evaluate the funding contract from a legal perspective.
