Ford Performance Notes and Quotes
NASCAR Cup Series
Enjoy Illinois 300 | Friday, June 3, 2022

Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Busch Light Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing, met with media members prior to the first practice session at World Wide Technology Raceway Friday afternoon.

KEVIN HARVICK, No. 4 Ford Mustang — WITH A NEW TRACK LIKE THIS, HOW MUCH DO YOU USE THE FORD SIMULATOR TO PREPARE? “Yeah, we use it ever week just to try to familiarize ourselves and help the guys with their sim stuff and try to develop and advance the simulator. So, yes, the answer to that is yes.”

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT ON A WEEK LIKE THIS COMING TO A NEW TRACK? “Well, it does really depend on the week. It is important from a development side more than I would tell you it is important from my side but without the driver feedback, it is hard to develop it correctly and properly with the pre and post and all the things you need to do. As you go forward it just becomes more important every year in my opinion as you get less track time. The more relevant it is, the better off you are going to be.”

THEY ARE SAYING THIS TRACK IS PHOENIX-ISH AND NEW HAMPSHIRE-ISH. ARE THERE THINGS THIS TRACK DOES THAT FITS YOUR STYLE? ARE YOU OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THIS TRACK BECAUSE OF THOSE THINGS? “It is obviously a flat race track and I think as you look at this particular car it is kind of a crap shoot every week until you have some notes and know what you fight and where you are good or bad. We were all good at Phoenix, so hopefully some of that carries over. I would consider this a much different race track than Phoenix, just because of turns 1 and 2 and how unique it is with possibly downshifting twice and all the things that could happen. So, the expectations and the things that happen and don’t happen, I would have told you that last week was going to be just a horrendous race after Texas. It wound up being pretty exciting. It is really hard to tell what is going to happen until you actually just get out there and go.”

WOULD YOU PREFER THAT YOU GUYS DIDN’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO SHIFT HERE? “No, I think it would be way worse if you didn’t shift. I think I ran my first race here in probably 1998 in the Truck Series. I remember shifting in the Busch Series car. That corner is so tight down there that you have to be able to have something to get it out because otherwise everyone just stomps the throttle and it doesn’t go anywhere because it isn’t turning any RPMs. I like less rules. The less rules the better. It is easier to interpret.”

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH THE ALL-STAR RACE? “That is out of my pay grade. I can tell you we had a fantastic race last week. I think as you look at that, and you look at the Clash, you have some pretty good options. One is a quarter-mile in a football stadium and one is a mile-and-a-half long. We have had some great races as we have gone through the season and going to different venues and having different things happen. If it was mine, I would do things probably in a different way, but it is not mine, I just drive. It is like I tell my son, make a couple billion dollars and then you can buy it and decide what the schedule looks like. I think you have to respect that part of it. Other people’s decisions that are running businesses to what they think is appropriate. We have had a lot of good races this year, so you have options. You will know where it all stands when you get done with Phoenix and you have run at all the tracks.”

BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN AT THE 1.5 MILE TRACKS THIS SEASON WITH THIS CAR, DO YOU THINK THAT IS ENOUGH TO CONSIDER GOING BACK TO THE OVAL AT INDIANAPOLIS? “It could be the greatest race on earth. What is the real ingredient that made Charlotte so much better than Texas? I don’t know. I don’t think anybody knows. You just have to do it. I think that would be the only way you would find out. It is kind of a stumper to try to figure out exactly what the ingredients are that make a good race or a bad race and what tracks are good and what tracks are bad. I wish somebody could tell me because I would have bet a million dollars last week that Charlotte was going to be horrendous. Then all of a sudden we are running up on a part of the race track that we haven’t run in five or six years. I have quit trying to guess what my car is going to drive like, what race is going to be good, what race is going to be bad, because there is no rhyme or reason to it. I think that is just because there are so many new variables that we all just don’t completely understand and it is kind of trial and error. I don’t know. I hate driving into the Brickyard and driving backward down the straightaway and driving the road course. I think it is terrible for our sport and almost degrading to a certain degree that you take the best racing series in the country and take it to what most would consider one of the greatest race tracks in the world but race on the road course.”

IT WAS ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK THAT PHOENIX WILL HOST THE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE AGAIN IN 2023. YOU HAVE TALKED IN THE PAST ABOUT A WANT TO MOVE THAT RACE AROUND. DO YOU ACCEPT IT AT THIS POINT? “It is kind of like the All-Star race. There are so many variables and factors that go into it from a business standpoint and from a city standpoint. The crowds have shown up and wrapped their arms around it and they are good at hosting those types of events. There is way more that goes into it than just my opinion on what I would do if I was spitballing things to try to create something that was exciting. It is a much deeper mix of things that have to be decided from a business standpoint and there is a lot more that goes into it than what I would do just because it sounds fun. It is way more in-depth than that. I think the races have been good and the city hosting it has been great and the fans have shown up and that is what we want, we want people to show up and watch us race and that is the most important thing.”

YOU ARE 31 POINTS ABOVE THE PLAYOFF CUT-OFF RIGHT NOW. DO YOU LOOK AT STUFF LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW? DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO WIN? HAVE YOU STARTED TALKING ABOUT RACE STRATEGY IN TERMS OF POINTS? “Just tell me where I am at the end of 26. If we are in, we are in. If we are out, we are out. We are either good enough or not good enough. I have so much other stuff to think about to try helping with the cars and going to different places every week that you can’t really count points.”

DO YOU THINK THERE WILL BE ANY PLAYOFF SPOTS ON POINTS? “I don’t know. I will tell you in 11 weeks or 12 weeks, whatever it is.”

AFTER RUNNING THE CAROUSEL THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AT SONOMA THEY ARE GOING BACK TO THE SCHUTE THIS YEAR. WHICH DO YOU PREFER? “Yeah, the carousel just didn’t work very good for where our cars were in time. I ran the carousel back in 1995 in the southwest tour car and I don’t remember it being like it was the last couple years where the cars didn’t really go through well and it kind of took that Turn 4 to Turn 7 passing opportunities away and just kind of slowed the speed down. I don’t know. It just didn’t feel great with our car so I think it is a good move to go back where we were. I think that fits these cars better.”

ANY BIG PLANS FOR THE OFF-WEEKEND? HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR YOUR GUYS TO HAVE THAT TIME TO KIND OF REJUVENATE AFTER THE YEAR THEY HAVE HAD TRYING TO PUT THIS CAR TOGETHER? “Yeah, I think it is important. I think for us, having that early season off-week has really been missed this year because you didn’t have time to kind of get your thoughts together. I thought it would be great to have no off weekends but I would retract that statement quickly after not having that early-season off-weekend. I wish they would just shut the shops. I wish it would be mandatory doors locked all week, like F1 to make sure those guys don’t get overworked. I know a lot of them will take some time and hopefully take a week and kind of get rejuvenated and go from there.”

NASCAR CUP SERIES
WORLD WIDE TECHNOLOGY RACEWAY
ENJOY ILLINOIS 300
TEAM CHEVY PRESS CONF. TRANSCRIPT
JUNE 3, 2022

KYLE LARSON, NO. 5 VALVOLINE CAMARO ZL1, met with the media in advance of the NASCAR Cup Series practice session at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway. Press Conference Transcript:

KYLE, YOU HAVEN’T RACED HERE HAVE YOU? YOU’VE RACED CLOSE BY, BUT NOT AT WORLD WIDE TECHNOLOGY RACEWAY. CAN YOU TELL US HOW YOU’VE PREPARED FOR THIS? ARE YOU EXCITED AND WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO?

“Yeah, I haven’t raced here. I’ve raced at Tri-City (Speedway), which is 15 minutes from here. Pevely (Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55), which is probably 35 minutes; and then at the Dome. So, I’ve raced all around it, but never here.

I’m excited. I haven’t had too much time at all to prepare. I hadn’t gotten to run any laps here to test or nothing on a simulator. So, we’ll get the hang of it hopefully quickly here later on today. I’m excited about the opportunity. I’ve always wanted to race here, so it’s nice that we have Cup weekend here now.”

DID YOU WANT TO DO THE SIM AND JUST COULDN’T GET IN; OR DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE JUST SO USED TO COMING TO TRACKS AND LEARNING THEM THAT YOU DIDN’T NEED TO?

“No – my schedule is just pretty busy and by the time I realized it was Gateway week, I realized I was racing every day this week. So, just didn’t have time. I wasn’t at home at all. But I think it will be fine. I go to more new race tracks than anybody does on our circuit, so I feel like I adapt pretty quickly. Usually we have a really good track record at tracks we go to the first time and hopefully this weekend is no different.”

WHAT IS THE KEY TO GETTING UP TO SPEED AT A NEW TRACK? CAN YOU GO ALL-OUT THE FIRST COUPLE OF LAPS? DO YOU HAVE TO WORK UP TO IT?

“Usually I think you work up to it just a little bit. All of us have a lot of experience in racing stock cars and going to new tracks that I feel like you’re kind of close to those limits even right off the bat and then you can find them pretty quickly. I don’t think you’re going to see anybody struggling or anybody way better than the next person. I think we’re all really good drivers and we will all figure it out quickly. I’ll definitely probably try and brake sooner than what I think is the potential and then kind of creep up to it.”

SHIFTING ON OVALS HAS OBVIOUSLY HAPPENED MORE THIS YEAR THAN EVER BEFORE. DRIVERS HAVE SAID IT MAKES IT HARDER TO PASS AND IT DOESN’T MAKE THE RACING GOOD ON OVALS. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THAT? DOES IT MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT?

“Yes – I think it makes it tougher to pass because it keeps your pace up it seems. If the lap times start to slow down, you start downshifting to go faster. I think we’ve all learned that you need pace falloff to pass. Now with shifting, the pace doesn’t fall off quite as much, so it makes things a little tougher. These cars and the aerodynamics makes things a little tougher, as well.

We’ll see. I don’t know how this place will be this weekend. I definitely think it will be hard to pass, whether we would be shifting or not. I think it’s just a pretty flat, looks like high grip, style race track. Those are typically hard to pass on, so with shifting, who knows. Regardless, I think it will be difficult to pass anyways.”

TWO WEEKS AGO, WE RAN THE ALL-STAR RACE AT TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF RUNNING IT AT CHARLOTTE; AND THEN AT BRISTOL AND TEXAS AGAIN. AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THE BUSCH CLASH, WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE ALL-STAR RACE NOW?

“I don’t know – It’s kind of, I feel like, in Marcus Smith’s hands. Whatever they want to do, I think we’re all OK with. Maybe not OK with, but we’re going to be there.

I’m not really sure. I don’t think Texas (Motor Speedway) – I hate to be another one of the guys to bash it – but it’s not a good track at all. It just doesn’t produce good racing and it’s tough to have an exhibition-style race there when the track isn’t very racy at all.

I think we’d all like to see it move around probably. You look at other sports, all-star games and stuff – they move from city to city each year. I think maybe the cities and the arenas are taking bids on it, I’m not sure. But I think that would be a fun thing to do; move the All-Star Race around. I think it would add some excitement to the event.”

I’M CURIOUS ABOUT ADDING THE CHUTE AT SONOMA (RACEWAY). SINCE YOU WON THERE LAST YEAR, HOW DO YOU THINK IT WILL CHANGE THE DYNAMIC?

“I don’t know. They raced there forever with I think the layout they were going to now. I’m sure it will be a lot like those races, I would guess.”

DO YOU THINK HAVING THE DIRT TRACK GOING FULL BLOWN RIGHT NOW DURING GATEWAY WEEK THAT IT IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO BRING PEOPLE BACK AND FORTH FROM ONE TRACK TO THE OTHER AND BUILD THE FAN BASE BETWEEN THE TWO SERIES?

“Yeah, I hope so. The crowd was really big last night. I wish it would have been a day later and I wish we could have raced there tomorrow night at Tri-City (Speedway) because I think Saturday night would be extremely big. But I think tonight with the World of Outlaws Late Models and sprint cars with myself running a late model; I think (Alex) Bowman and (Chase) Briscoe are running sprint cars. I’m not sure if (Christopher) Bell is running or not. But yeah, it should be an even bigger crowd I would imagine.

It’s exciting. The crossover is always good.”

IT WAS ANNOUCED THIS WEEK THAT PHOENIX (RACEWAY) WILL HOST THE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE AGAIN NEXT SEASON. WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT A FOURTH YEAR OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE BEING HELD AT PHOENIX?

“I think Phoenix is a great area to host the championship weekend. It’s got a great amount of grandstands that always seem to sell out, which is good. It adds to the atmosphere. And two, again like going to the All-Star Race, I would say ‘oh it should move from city to city’. But November in some states is difficult to put a race on, so you have to think about that. There are only a handful of tracks that could really host the championship weekend and not be concerned with the weather forecast. I think that’s why it was in Florida for a long time and then they moved it to Arizona. Phoenix (Raceway) is a difficult track to pass on, but I feel like there are moments where it can be more exciting than an intermediate-style track if you get a late race caution and things like that.

I’m not sure if that answers your question, but I think it’s OK. In the future, yeah I would like to see it move around, as well. But I think there is just a small group of tracks that it could really move to.”

THERE HAS BEEN SOME BETTER RACING AT INTERMEDIATE TRACKS. THIS CAR SEEMS TO WORK AT BIGGER TRACKS. INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY IS A BEAST IN ITSELF, BUT WITH SOME OF THE SUCCESS ON INTERMEDIATE TRACKS, DOES THAT GIVE YOU ANY HOPE THAT THESE CARS COULD RUN BETTER ON THE OVAL THAN WHAT THEY HAVE?

“Well, I think Indy (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) is just a difficult track. You can look at even the IndyCar race this year – it wasn’t that exciting and those cars build really big runs. So, I still think it would be not very good racing for us. And it seems like with these cars and the way the air runs off the back, I think it could have the potential of being even worse than normal, just because it’s a flat track.

As a driver, I would love to win on the oval there. But the road course is, to me, more exciting racing. I’m not sure if more people tune into the race because it’s on the road course or more people show up because it’s on the road course. But I know, excitement-wise, it’s probably a little bit better on the road course. Prestige-wise, I think we would all love it on the oval.”

ARE YOU PLANNING TO RUN THE KNOXVILLE TRUCK RACE?

“No – Never running a dirt truck race again (laughs).”

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THE OFF WEEK?

“Nothing – just taking it off.”

I KNOW YOU HAVEN’T BEEN HERE, BUT ARE YOU ANTICIPATING IT TO BE SORT OF LIKE NEW HAMPSHIRE OR PHOENIX? HOW WILL THIS TRACK RACE COMPARED TO OTHERS?

“I watched a little bit of onboard from somebody who was here testing in the Chevy – I think it was (Justin) Allgaier). It kind of reminded me of a blend of New Hampshire (Motor Speedway) and Phoenix (Raceway). I don’t know until I get out there, but that’s kind of where my brain is at right now. I don’t think there’s another race track that we run that you could compare it to. I think those two are good comparisons. I feel like the pavement grip level would probably be similar to Phoenix. I think that end kind of looks more like (turns) one and two of Phoenix; and then I think this end is probably a tighter New Hampshire maybe.”

We have a really young team on the No. 42 and a bunch of new guys in new situations, so all the chances that we can get to communicate and work together a little bit longer is good for us. By the time we get to the track, I will have eight to 10 hours of simulator time between my iRacing rig, RCR has a rig that we are allowed to use, and so does Chevrolet. I eat that time up and it helps me a lot, so I can be confident and stress free when I get to the track.”

  • From the Driver’s Seat: You’ve been to World Wide Technology Raceway before, but this will be the first time the Cup Series has raced at the track. Talk about the track and what you expect this weekend.

“I’m looking forward to getting there. World Wide Technology Raceway is a fun track. I’ve been there a few times in Trucks. It’s always a great crowd, so that’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s kind of a, I always think of it as a big Martinsville, but it does race a little different from that. Turns one and two are pretty tight and turns three and four are pretty big sweeping corners. I know they’ve paved it since the last time I was there, so that will be quite a bit different. It will be fun to get there with the new car, new venue. I always enjoy switching it up in the Cup Series and going to new tracks with these cars. Obviously, I think World Wide Technology Raceway is going to be a good one for us. It’s going to be hot. It’s going to be a tough weekend. I know it’ll be warm there. I’m excited to get there and see what these cars do there.”

FRANKLIN, TENN. (JUNE 3, 2022) — PowerNation Studios and Nashville Superspeedway have partnered to present the inaugural POWER NATIONALS sponsored by Summit Racing Equipment on Sept.3-4, 2022 at the Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tenn,

PowerNation Studios, based in Franklin Tenn., is the production company for some of the most popular how-to programs for auto enthusiasts such as Detroit Muscle, Music City Trucks, Engine Power, and Carcass.

“The Nashville area is home to a huge, passionate car enthusiast community, and we couldn’t ask for a better partner to host PowerNation Studio’s first ever live event than the Nashville Superspeedway.” said Matthew Hawkins, president of PowerNation.

Nashville Superspeedway, the home of NASCAR Cup Series racing and live entertainment in Middle Tennessee, is a 650-acre motorsports and event venue. The facility reopened in late 2020 and has since hosted a growing number of family-friendly and motorsports events, highlighted by the 100 percent capacity, sold-out inaugural Ally 400 NASCAR Cup Series Race in June 2021.

“We have thousands of car enthusiasts visit our facility each year, so naturally we are thrilled about this partnership and the opportunity to present the inaugural POWER NATIONALS event,” said Erik Moses, Nashville Superspeedway’s President and GM. “The goal from the first day of our rebirth has been to transform our facility into a regional center for all kinds of entertainment options, and this partnership further demonstrates our commitment to hosting first-class events for the residents and visitors of Middle Tennessee.”

All vehicles entered in the shows will have a special opportunity to exit the Superspeedway by driving the 1.33-mile D-shaped oval racetrack.

The world-famous monster truck that started it all, the original BIGFOOT, will be present all weekend. And several other members of the BIGFOOT family will be on site, including BIGFOOT #5, the truck with 10’ tires and the new BIGFOOT ride truck.

Driving competitions include the Carcass Auto Cross on Saturday and a Drifting exhibition on Sunday. Attendees can also participate in skills challenges like the Engine Power Bolt-on competition. Demos and guest interviews will take place at the center of the action on the Live stage.

SS Greenlight Racing with Jeff Lefcourt | NASCAR Xfinity Series
Portland International Raceway | Pacific Automation 147

Fast Facts
No. 07 SS GreenLight Racing Team:
Driver: Joe Graf Jr. (@JoeGrafJr)
Primary Partner(s): Bucked Up Buck Shot Energy
Manufacturer: Ford Mustang
Crew Chief: Joe Williams
Spotter: TJ Bell
2022 Driver Points Position: 26th | 2022 Owner Points Position: 22nd
Engine: Roush Yates Engines (RYE)

Notes of Interest:

Full of Energy: Bucked Up Energy Drink and its sister products will continue their role as the primary partner of Graf’s No. 07 Ford Mustang this weekend.

Portland International Raceway is the 11th race of 2022 but is the 42nd race overall in a multi-year, multi-race deal with the former ARCA Menards Series winner.

For the second time this year, the team will promote Bucked Up’s Buck Shot Energy

You don’t give up. Neither should your energy shot. Buck Shot is built from the ground up with one frame in mind. Building an energy shot that can hammer out as many hours of work as you already have to punch in. An energy shot that delivers quality, focused, clean energy.

Dependable energy.

Buck Shot Energy. Because five is barely enough time to clip the red wire. You have too much to conquer to worry about zeroing out on energy—crashing. When your sights are set on energy, one good shot is all it takes. Buck Shot.

About Bucked Up Energy: Bucked Up started in 2013 when twin brothers Ryan and Jeff Gardner started marketing a product called Deer Antler Spray. After selling thousands of bottles to GNCs nationwide, the company morphed into what is now Bucked Up, a full-fledged vitamins and supplements manufacturer.

The company has gone from its humble beginnings to becoming the No. 1 best-selling pre-workout brand that’s available in over 10,000 stores worldwide.

Plenty Of Other Bucked Up Products Available Too: Don’t forget that Bucked Up Energy now offers more than 10 quenching options, but several of their popular flavors include Rocket Pop, Gym ‘N’ Juice, Mango Tango and Pink Lemonade now include low-stim options.

Low-stim has the same innovative ingredients that make their OG formula so powerful for focus, mood, motivation and energy. Bucked Up made just one small change and they have been surprised by the resulting epicness.

Boasting a modest of 100mg of caffeine, Bucked Up Low-Stim delivers the same energy, focus, mood, motivation – while reducing the common side effects that come from too-much caffeine, jitters, sleeplessness and anxiety.

Inaugural Xfinity Series Event: The thrills of NASCAR Xfinity Series racing will stop at Portland International Raceway (PIR) this weekend. The June 4, 2022, race event will mark the first appearance of a NASCAR national series in the Pacific Northwest since 2000.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series visited both Portland International Raceway and Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Wash. that year.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series stop at PIR is not only a major victory for race fans throughout the Pacific Northwest, but also a major boost for the local economy.

The event has a projected total estimated economic impact of nearly $15 million.

Thanks For Your Support: With more than 42 percent of the 2022 Xfinity Series season complete, Joe Graf Jr. and SS GreenLight Racing with Jeff Lefcourt would like to thank their associate marketing partners AVOID, Bass Reaper Bait Company, CoverSeal, EAT SLEEP RACE Apparel, fgrACCEL, G-Coin, Gtechniq, HazHeart, Model Electronics and ShopRite for their continued support.

Settling In: Portland International Raceway marks the 14th race that the SS GreenLight Racing with Jeff Lefcourt (SSGLRwJL) team embraces their manufacturer switch from Chevrolet to Ford while incorporating its technical alliance with Stewart-Haas Racing.

SHR will supply the organization with race cars while Roush Yates Engines will provide the legendary Ford horsepower. In addition to providing race cars to SSGLRwJL, SHR will also provide technical support for the entire 33-race season.

Additionally, Graf will have NASCAR Cup Series and Stewart-Haas Racing drivers Cole Custer and Chase Briscoe as teammates for select events throughout the 2022 season.

Don’t Forget The New Partner Too: SS GreenLight Racing has added Jeff Lefcourt as a new co-owner of the Mooresville, N.C.-based team, as well as director of business development for the organization.

Lefcourt, a native of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. joins SS GreenLight Racing with Jeff Lefcourt (SSGLRwJL) with a long history of racing endeavors including owning Bethel (N.Y.) Motor Speedway in upstate New York, a current-NASCAR sanctioned race track.

The noted philanthropist, entrepreneur and real estate developer has deep ties to grassroots racing and was instrumental in helping secure the Stewart-Haas Racing alliance with SSGLRwJL in 2022.

Joe Graf Jr. Xfinity Series Portland International Raceway Stats: Joe Graf Jr. will make his inaugural NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at the 12-turn, 1.967-mile road course on Saturday afternoon.

Joe Graf Jr. Pre-Race Quotes:

On Portland International Raceway: “I am sure I feel like most everyone else in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, I am not sure what to expect this weekend at Portland International Raceway. I’ve been doing what I can to prepare for this race, but it’s going to be a challenge for at least the first couple of laps in practice to find a rhythm and get in a comfort zone.

“The goal for the weekend is to keep getting faster from the start of practice to the checkered flag on Saturday afternoon.

“If we can do that and stay on the track, hopefully, we will leave Portland satisfied and ready to focus on Nashville later this month.”

On 2022 Season: “We’ve had some ups and downs in 2022, but the last three races, in particular, I really think we’ve made some headway with our SS GreenLight Racing with Jeff Lefcourt team.

“I know the finish does not reflect it, but we had a fast car at Charlotte Motor Speedway last weekend with our No. 07 Bucked Up Rocket Pop Energy Drink Ford Mustang. Circumstances beyond our control dictated the finish, not our hard work.

“It may not seem like a lot on the track, but to us, we’re seeing the vast improvements as we continue to adapt to our new technical alliance and I work harder on my craft with more aggressive setups.

“Portland is going to be a little different because of the style of racing we are set to embrace on Saturday, but I’m eager to get back to an oval and cement our presence in a good way for the upcoming summer stretch and second half of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.”

The Most Common Myths About Buying a Used Vehicle at an Auto Auction

The auto auctions can be intimidating yet exciting things. However, with the rising cost of vehicles, purchasing a used or salvaged car at auction is becoming a popular and promising option for the average consumer and even body and component collectors.

Since auto auctions are not well known to everyone, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions surrounding auto auctions.

You might even have come across some of these myths and started having second thoughts about attending an auto auction. 

Below are some of the most common myths concerning auto auctions and the actual truths that should be known.

1. Beginners Should Avoid Auctions

Auctions are not suitable for novices or first-time users is a popular myth about buying used vehicles at an auction. Many individuals are afraid of auctions because of what they have seen in movies and reality television shows, but many fail to realize that movies are different from what happens in real life. Although certain auctions can become highly competitive and terrifying, this is not the issue in most cases. In fact, any prominent public auto auction recognizes this and thereby makes the process as simple as possible for first-time bidders. In addition, most auctions even allow public purchasers to place an offer on a car and purchase it without attending the auction. If there’s any myth you shouldn’t worry about, this should top the list.

2. Auto Auctions Only Sell Crashed Cars  And Worn-out Cars 

Perhaps this might be the only myth here with only a sliver of truth. Even though vehicle auctions have a wide range of used cars for sale, and of course, some of them are damaged and crashed, that doesn’t necessarily mean there are no good cars. In fact, the wrecked vehicles are mostly exclusive to body shops and components collectors. If you are at an auction with both wrecked and used cars, you can always identify and avoid the wrecked vehicles. Moreover, you may verify the car’s history using the VIN if you want to be sure it hasn’t been damaged in the past. The VIN check will also tell you about the car’s service history.

3. Auction Cars Do Not have Essential Safety Features 

This is another myth about car auctions that is not totally true unless the car you are buying is an ancient car or a vintage one; then, this might hold. However, if you are worried about the cars’ safety features, they come with safety features too. These features, such as side airbags and an anti-lock brake system, are not removed when a car is resold. So, f you want to be sure the used automobile you’re thinking about buying includes safety features, go to the manufacturer’s website and compare it to the used car. 

4. Vehicles Are Sold At Giveaway Prices at Auto auctions  

While wrecked cars can be bought at relatively cheap prices at car auctions, healthy vehicles are not sold the same. It’s necessary to understand that, while the prices are significantly lower than those of brand-new cars or going to a dealership, you shouldn’t anticipate them to be ridiculously low. This is why people feel dissatisfied and disappointed when they go to an auction, and the prices don’t match their expectations. This happens mostly to beginners, so you can begin with a low price that you believe is reasonable if you are a newbie. To sum this up, auto auctions are not a giveaway, so don’t expect unreal offers except on wrecked cars.

5. You Are Not Allowed To Inspect The Vehicle 

There’s a reason it is advisable to arrive early at a car auction. The reason is so that you can inspect the vehicle before putting your bid by going to the automotive inspection site. This is why, right before the auction, most car auction houses hold an “open house” of sorts. So if you arrive early, you will get to inspect the car at your convenience and in the right ambiance. Arriving late at an auction and bidding on a vehicle you haven’t had an opportunity to inspect is not a good idea and might leave you disappointed or even spend more than you anticipated.

Conclusion 

These are some of the most typical misconceptions regarding auto auctions. Even if you don’t end up buying a car, most auctions are free to attend and may be a lot of fun even if you decide to buy a car, make sure to arrive early and inspect the vehicle and get the best price possible. If you’re unsure, seeking guidance from professionals is also a smart option.

Formula One is genuinely known as an international sport. It’s in its 70th year and is watched by millions of people from all around the world. Fans from all over the world tune in every weekend and watch live racing from their homes, friends’ homes, bars, restaurants, or wherever they might enjoy their favorite sport.

Finding knowledge about your bets is one of the finest techniques to create winning bets. You’ll need to check a news source whether you’re looking at patterns, injury reports, or giving attention to your favorite tv shows. You can find the best formula 1 news source in 2022 by using these methods:

Consult Formula 1 sports media professionals

Professional sports is a massive sector, and most major professional sports networks use a variety of journalists to cover it. You may have a favorite manner of entertainment and sports newsgathering, particularly Formula 1 or NASCAR.

Formula 1-related information may be found all over the radios, broadcast networks, and podcast networks. They include established sports entertainment brands such as ESPN and Fox Sports as well as emerging media channels. Some of these shows feature Formula 1 media professionals, as we call them.

These are usually also die-hard Formula 1 fans who have made a living out of spreading the word. Some of them are the greatest in the game, and they provide Formula 1 betting tips and techniques every week. Personal preference plays a role in determining which of these experts to pay attention to.

Check local beat writers

Although newspapers are on the decrease, some of the news they offer is still worth a read. At least a majority of beat writers work for most Formula 1 teams at each major circuit. 

These writers contribute to rival newspapers, blogs, websites, and other forms of media. Unlike notable national journalists, these journalists are usually the most knowledgeable about the teams.

A Formula 1 team’s beat writer is a terrific source for expert Formula 1 betting guidance when deciding on bets. When it comes to and injury reports, gossip, or any personnel information, they are usually ahead of the game. 

All of this data can assist you in determining which teams are worth taking a risk on and which are in chaos. Even if beat writers aren’t writing for a gambling readership, their reporting is critical to success.

Find news sources and supplement them with broader ones

While no books or research publications will be found, you will be able to find news sources about the emerging Formula 1 event. This is where you’ll discover precise information about breaking Formula One news. The information supplied will change as soon as possible after the event.

You can complement with broader sources once you’ve located these news pieces on the emerging story. For example, books and scholarly articles on Formula 1 cars and circuits could be used to augment your Formula 1 news pieces.

Consult national reporters

Every Sunday morning before the popular Formula 1 pregame shows, you’ll witness national reporters. They can also be found on ESPN deconstructing massive Formula 1 news stories. They usually have connections with several teams and sporting agencies. They can also be spotted messaging on all five of their phones at the same time.

National reporters, like beat journalists, are excellent sources of Formula 1 news. While the news they’re covering has nothing to do with gambling, it does have an impact on it. 

These resources are particularly valuable to followers of daily fantasy. Individual roster decisions on who will race and who will not come down to the wire. These reporters are usually at your disposal.

If you aren’t on a social media platform, gaining information from these experts can be difficult. They occasionally appear on television, but the majority of their material is conveyed via Twitter.

Use social media

Many people already use Twitter to acquire their news. Following journalists on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook can be a terrific way to get a different viewpoint on Formula 1 news.

Twitter is an excellent tool to actively participate in current Formula 1 debates. It will assist you in comprehending and considering several perspectives on a subject.

Instagram accounts that consolidate and simplify Formula One news are also useful. You can easily and quickly keep up with what’s going on.

Avoid bloggers posing as bookmakers

If you don’t know much about Formula 1, this is where things become complicated. It might be difficult to determine whether sources of information are trustworthy. Even if you consult a reputable news organization, certain persons should be overlooked. Blogs are one of the more difficult areas of Formula 1 news to navigate.

However, there is a group of Formula 1 blogs whose advice should be ignored by anyone looking to make money. These bloggers frequently create a personal brand or mislead about their bets or sums. Their sole motivation is to increase clicks and brand awareness. They may be fascinating to some, but their Formula 1 counsel is far from ideal.

Utilize comment sections appropriately

Die-hard Formula 1 fans are among the most vociferous internet users. They make up for what they miss in knowledge with conviction. Reddit is one of the most popular sites for these kinds of community posts. 

If used appropriately, Reddit may be a wonderful tool for Formula 1 bettors. However, if you deem yourself gullible, you may be deceived by a team fan who remains anonymous.

Message boards are an excellent method to communicate with other Formula One fans and gamblers. Gamblers can discuss tips and methods on certain subreddits and other websites, creating a sense of community. Everything that comes from these sites, however, ought to be fact-checked and validated.

Also, comment areas should be avoided. Never believe disgruntled Formula 1 supporters who claim a team will cut a driver or employ a different car in the comments area. Message boards and discussion forums should be used with caution if you want to gain an advantage.

Conclusion

It can be difficult to know where to look for the most up-to-date Formula 1 information. Quality information is difficult to get by in an era where everyone seems to have a platform. Make sure you’re getting your Formula One news from the appropriate sources before you press the button.
