  • From the Drivers Seat: You have never been to or raced at World Wide Technology Raceway?

“I really like the fact that we get 50 minutes of practice this week. I think that definitely helps me. The last time we did that was at Bristol and we had a really good showing. 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.”

“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.”

POWER NATIONALS will feature events and attractions for attendees of all ages. A car, truck and exotic vehicles show will run all day both Saturday and Sunday. 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. Xfinity Series Career Road Course Stats: At tracks classified as a road course, Graf has competed in nine NASCAR Xfinity Series races. He holds an average starting position of 27.0 and an average result of 26.0.

Ready To Get Wet, If Needed: Traveling the West Coast, particularly in the regions of Oregon where the area is prone to wet weather, the NASCAR Xfinity Series race teams are prepared to race in the rain on Saturday afternoon if needed.

Goodyear will bring its 15-inch wet weather radials to Portland for use by Xfinity Series teams, should NASCAR decide that conditions warrant, teams will have five sets of wets available for the event, with a maximum of four sets for the race . . .

Goodyear is bringing the same wet tire that the series competed with at Circuit of the Americas in May 2021.

In addition to the obvious difference of a tread pattern versus Goodyear’s dry weather “slick” tires, the “Goodyear” and “Eagle” lettering on the sidewalls of the wet weather tires is white, not the standard yellow.

Graf has competed in one prior Xfinity Series race in the wet at the Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway ROVAL in October 2020, where he earned a strong top-15 finish in the No. 08 Watchonista Chevrolet Camaro.

Charlotte Motor Speedway | Alsco 300 Race Recap: In the most recent NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway, Graf and the SSGLRwJL team showcased the No. 07 Bucked Up Rocket Pop Energy Drink Ford Mustang in the highly anticipated Memorial Day weekend event.

After qualifying his car on time, Graf started the race in the 24th position and utilized the race to methodically move his race car inside the top-20, where he maintained his presence early in Stage 3.

Unfortunately, Graf was one of several drivers involved in a restart accident on Lap 109 that regulated the team to a disappointing 34th place finish.

Sneaker Mania: Along with the adrenaline of the Motorsports competition, Joe Graf Jr. also has a vogue for hype sneakers. In his current collection, he owns and wears at least 90 limited edition sneakers – and his collection continues to grow every month.

The current estimated value of his collection tops $100,000.

From the Pit Box: Industry veteran Joe Williams is Joe Graf Jr.’s crew chief.

He will crew chief his 79th NASCAR Xfinity Series race as crew chief on Saturday afternoon and his first at the track nestled in “Rose City.”

In his previous 78 NASCAR Xfinity Series starts, he has collected one win (Auto Club Speedway | February 2022), six top-five and 18 top-10 finishes.

Hello From The Other Side: Graf Jr. has a teammate at SS GreenLight Racing with Jeff Lefcourt. Veteran road racer Spencer Pumpelly will drive the No. 08 TicketSmarter Ford Mustang on Saturday afternoon for his first Xfinity Series start of the 2022 season.

Pumpelly, a veteran in the Sports Car World and has prior experience at Portland International Raceway will make his fourth Xfinity Series start of his career.

Last year, Pumpelly, 46, competed in three Xfinity Series races for JD Motorsports with Gary Keller earning a season-high 19th place finish at Circuit of the Americas (COTA).

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 Pacific Automation 147 (75 laps | 147.75 miles) is the 14th of 33 NASCAR Xfinity Series races on the 2022 schedule.

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

By
SM

Photo by Sourav Mishra

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.

How to find a formula 1 news source in 2022

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
