M&M’S Crunchy Cookie Racing: Kyle Busch Richmond Advance

KYLE BUSCH
New Look, Same Impressive Stats at Richmond

HUNTERSVILLE, North Carolina (March 30, 2022) – Kyle Busch heads to Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond (Va.) Raceway sporting a new look with M&M’S newest flavor, M&M’S Crunchy Cookie, adorning his Toyota Camry TRD for the first of seven races this spring and summer.

M&M’S Crunchy Cookie combines two favorite treats – M&M’S and chocolate chip cookies – which is now available nationwide and is bound to give race fans a fun, nostalgic snack to enjoy during this weekend’s race. M&M’S is also partnering with a cool cookie creator, Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi, to create 100, one-time-only, limited-edition cookies that will be made available to race fans on a first-come, first-served basis. Fans can sign up at MMS.com to find out when they’ll drop.

While Busch’s car will have a new look, the same impressive resume still remains when taking a deeper dive into his stats at the .75-mile Richmond short track. Busch has six career Cup Series victories at Richmond, most among active drivers. In addition to those six career wins, Busch’s Richmond stat sheet shows 18 top-five finishes and 25 top-10s in 32 career starts, making him the most consistent active driver at the track.

The Las Vegas native also leads all active drivers with his Richmond average finishing position of 6.9. Next best is Kevin Harvick at 10.0. Busch has completed all but one of the 12,828 laps available to him in his 32 Richmond starts.

The first four of Busch’s six career Richmond wins came in consecutive spring races from 2009 to 2012, besting Richard Petty’s previous record of three Richmond spring-race wins in a row from 1971 to 1973. Busch’s other two Richmond wins came in a sweep of the 2018 races there. With his impressive statistics and records to back him up, it’s little wonder that a visit to Richmond is one of Busch’s favorite stops on the NASCAR tour.

So, as the series heads to the “Capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia,” Busch and the M&M’S Crunchy Cookie team look to bring home their seventh win there wearing the latest M&M’S colors, and perhaps enjoy a celebratory “Cookie” in victory lane.

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

Is Richmond one of your favorite tracks, and what are your expectations there this weekend?

“Richmond is a great place for us and our M&M’S Crunchy Cookie team. You’ve really got to be mindful of the bottom of the racetrack and, based on the past, also mindful of your brakes and how you use them, especially getting into turn one where you can really overheat your brakes, which overheats your tires and makes you slide around more. With the new cars and better brakes, we’ll see if that changes anything. Having good cars there has certainly been something we’ve been fortunate with at Joe Gibbs Racing over the years. I’ve won there six times and I’ve been in the top-f10 about every time we go there and also a lot of top-five finishes, so I would like to think we can keep that going and, more importantly, get a win. It would certainly be a good time for it, so we look forward to Richmond being one of those places where we can do that. Really excited to have M&M’S Crunchy Cookie on board with us for the first time this week. We’ve had a lot of good luck with these new M&M’S schemes and it’s also a great snack, of course.”

What does it take to get around Richmond?

“Richmond is getting a little trickier, it seems like, just with the asphalt kind of getting older and the way the cars were. The consensus at Richmond is, of course, just trying to get your car to turn, but also having really good forward bite. You have to be able to get off the corners at Richmond. All of it correlates. Everything you want as a racecar driver, you’ve got to have most all of it and, if you don’t, then you better hope you have more forward bite than the rest of them. That’s sort of the equation of Richmond. It’s a fun place to race. It’s really cool. As a driver, you wish it could widen out and give you more options of being able to run around in different grooves, but it hasn’t shown us that the last couple of years. We’re hoping to get our M&M’S Crunchy Cookie Camry another win there.”

What is it about Richmond that suits your driving style?

“I don’t know, over the years – I started out really bad there. My first Truck Series race there was horrible. I think I ran into everything but the hot dog stand. The next time I went there was with Hendrick (Motorsports) in the Busch Series in 2004 when they first repaved the track, and I ran really well. We were able to win that race, and I led the most laps. From that point forward, I feel like I kind of learned or had a sense of what it takes to be fast there and what you need to be able to do to win there. As the years have gone on, the racetrack has definitely aged, it’s definitely gone through some transition, it has lost a lot of grip. There have been some changes in that respect, as well, just trying to figure out, ‘OK, what’s next. What’s the next thing that’s going to keep you on top of your game at Richmond.’ The new car is another challenge that we will take on there, now. It’s always been a good track for me, I enjoy going there. It’s a fun short track. It’s a very challenging short track that doesn’t lend itself to typical short tracks around the country.”

Top tips on fuel cost saving in Brisbane

By
SM
-

According to abc.net.au, recently, fuel prices is going up in different areas of Australia, this ends up some people may going after around hybrid cars or trying to save fuel costs.

With fuel prices hitting record levels, we’re all watching our wallets and looking for new ways to save money. Due to high inflation rates outpacing wage increases, the costs of living are rising faster than ever, and one of the primary factors that influence our lives is fuel costs. That is why a vehicle’s fuel efficiency is among the priorities of car buyers. “How much should I budget for petrol?”. You might want to ask or check the petrol prices in Australia daily to find lower prices. But there are other ways to help you decrease your average petrol costs per kilometer. Luckily, in this article our team at junkcar removals have prepared the best ways to make your fuel go further, resulting in fewer trips to the petrol station. Driving habits, car and tire maintenance, or lifestyle changes are the major players in petrol conservation.

Before we dive in, if your car is using more fuel than usual, this article can help you decide if you should repair your vehicle, or consider upgrading. So, let’s talk about the tricks you can use to start saving on fuel costs.

Change your driving habits

Keep Your Speed in Check 

The fuel consumption of your car is determined by several elements, one of which is the friction between the wind and the road. You could save money on fuel simply by driving at speeds between 60 to 80 kilometers per hour. This is true because at speeds higher than 80 your car’s efficiency will drop significantly. Another tip that you should keep in mind is avoiding taking off quickly in your car. When you drive gently, your car’s engine needs less fuel in comparison. Rapid accelerations and braking frequently may increase your fuel usage up to 30% more.

Unburden your vehicle

Maybe it is time for you to get rid of all the stuff you have piled up in the trunk of your car. Your engine is doing a lot of work carrying around all those excess weights around. Imagine walking around carrying a heavy backpack every day. The small items in your vehicle can also add up to a lot of weight. If you have attached roof or bicycle racks that you don’t use regularly, take them off. Not only do these parts increase car weight, but they also slow you down through wind friction.

Another useful idea is to only half-fill your petrol tank. Your car weighs a lot less when the tank is half empty. However, you have to factor in that it requires you to travel to the petrol station more frequently. But if you don’t need to use the car a lot, it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try.

Reduce energy usage

Many of us know driving around with the air conditioning switched on causes a lot of fuel consumption. Turning on the air-con or heater can make your car use as much as 10% more fuel than going without it. It would be helpful to get into the habit of only using AC when necessary, to avoid draining your fuel. Idling the engine to keep the AC running is itself another source of energy usage. Some people leave the car running in chilly mornings to warm up the engine. Not only this practice is wasting your car’s fuel, but it can also be a cause of pollution to the environment. If you drive a manual car, it’s also a good point to keep in mind: use the correct gear! Using too low gear for your speed or a high gear can affect your fuel efficiency because the engine has to burn more fuel to compensate.

Keep Your Car Maintained

Check your tires

You should check the condition of your tires regularly to make sure tire pressure is suitable. Underinflated tires cause more fuel usage, in addition to being dangerous while driving. If your budget is not limited, there are energy-efficient options you can pick from. Your tires are in constant contact with the road and as such, they suffer a lot of wear, even if you drive carefully. This is why you must keep an eye on the condition of your tires. Tyre pressure level must be maintained as recommended by the manufacturer.

Have a servicing schedule

Blocked air filters may lower the performance of your vehicle. A binding brake has been proved to increase the kilometer per liter. An AC that is not working at its best can take more energy than it needs. As time passes, every car gets rusty, and to restore the vehicle to optimal performance, regular service is a must for the car and its engine to get tuned up. This is also beneficial for your car’s value since an up-to-date service history means a dealer will put a higher price tag on your car if you were looking to exchange or upgrade. Our services in Brisbane will give you a hand if you ever considered getting some cash for your old car to change or upgrade.

Change your lifestyle

Fill your tank at dawn or dusk

Hot and cold conditions can affect petrol with expansions and contraction. Believe it or not, cold mornings cause fuel to become denser, which means you can get a little more on every liter. Also, petrol is volatile and on hot summer days, there is a possibility of fuel evaporating. This can also happen when you park your car outside. One way to avoid this is to find a shady spot or park inside your garage during hot summer days. Don’t forget to double-check your tank cap after going to the pump. Good practice in summer is to hit the fuel pump when the sun’s not out because the temperature is at its lowest point early in the morning or late in the evening, making it the best time to purchase fuel.

Alternatives to driving

While I agree that Australia is a big place and some journeys are not possible on foot, for close distances you can walk, cycle or use public transport options. This has the benefit of getting you more active along with saving you some money on fuel. If your commute to work is shared with your colleagues, you can also try carpooling which is a win for all. Altering drivers means you get to use your car only half of what it used to be or even less, considering more carpooling partners are involved.

Buy an economical car

Modern vehicles are getting more and more efficient. The manufacturers have to meet the tightening emission and fuel consumption laws. Innovative technologies to reduce fuel consumption mean every day newer models use less fuel. Old cars can chew more fuel and although it might seem costly, owning a more efficient vehicle could save you in the long run.

Another option is to consider a hybrid or electric car. This might not be an option for everyone and electric cars have their high expenses. But it is still a decision that can help cut your fuel costs.

If your car’s kilometer per liter is causing you concern and you have decided on changing or upgrading, junk car removals will pick up your car in exchange for cash if you have a truck or junk car and you just need some cash in exchange.

junkcarremovals.com.au is the best place to recycle your car and then you will get paid in cash for unwanted cars.

Jabs Construction Inc. is a full-service design/build residential remodeling company based out of Dumfries, Virginia.

“I’m so excited to have Jabs Construction back on the race car this weekend in Richmond. They’ve been a partner for the past four seaon Richmond Raceway is their home track, so hopefully I can make this weekend that much more special with a good finish!

The company was started in 1978 as a small family business and maintains that structure today with Jabs Construction still being owned, operated and managed by members of the Jabs Family.

“One of my favorite things about working with Jabs is that they’re a family-owned business, just like Brandonbilt Motorsports. We really relate to one another because of that. I strive to support other family-owned businesses, because I know the amount of hard work and heart that it takes to operate one.”

Brandon Brown heads to Richmond Raceway feeling optimistic about the first short-track race of the season. “Short track racing is my comfort zone and something that I’m pretty confident about. I’m anxious to get back out there and redeem myself after my run at COTA. Tire strategy will be important here for stronger long runs.”

“Another thing that I’m pumped about is my family being there this weekend. My hometown is only about an hour from the track (Woodbridge, VA) so a lot of them are able to come. I feel like I push myself harder when my mom and younger brother are at the tracks, because I’d love to get them to Victory Lane. The feeling of winning is indescribable.”

The No. 68 Jabs Construction Chevrolet Camaro will hit the track on Saturday, March 19 at Richmond Raceway, with coverage airing live on FS1 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

No. 14 Mahindra Tractors Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing

Event Overview

● Event: Richmond 400 (Round 7 of 36)
● Time/Date: 3:30 p.m. EDT on Sunday, April 3
● Location: Richmond (Va.) Raceway
● Layout: .75-mile oval
● Laps/Miles: 400 laps/300 miles
● Stage Lengths: Stage 1: 70 laps / Stage 2: 160 laps / Final Stage: 170 laps
● TV/Radio: FOX / MRN / SiriusXM NASCAR Radio

Notes of Interest

● Chase Briscoe and the No. 14 Mahindra Tractors Ford Mustang team for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) roll into Virginia’s capital city for the seventh race of the season. Opened in 1946 and last paved in 1988, the worn-out surface of Richmond Raceway will be a different kind of test for drivers who have only competed on short tracks with newer surfaces so far this year. Briscoe was having a strong showing at the Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before a mechanical issue ended his race. Five weeks later, on the mile oval at Phoenix Raceway, he dominated the final stage of the race en route to his first career Cup Series win.

● Six races into the 2022 season, Briscoe is ninth in points, 42 behind leader Chase Elliott. He currently holds a spot in the 16-driver playoff field by virtue of his win at Phoenix. He’s led laps in four of the first six races and ranks fourth in total laps led to date.

● Briscoe has two Cup Series starts at Richmond with a best finish of 16th earned in September 2021. Though he struggled to earn top results on short tracks in his rookie year, Briscoe continues to adapt his dirt-racing style to stock-car racing on pavement and has already made gains this season in the NextGen car.

● In his five NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at Richmond, Briscoe earned his first top-10 in April 2019, then returned that September to earn a fifth-place result.

● The red and white of Mahindra Tractors, a brand of Houston-based Mahindra Ag North America, will once again adorn the No. 14 Ford Mustang. Part of Mahindra Group’s Automotive and Farm Sector, Mahindra Ag North America is the No. 1-selling farm tractor company in the world, based on volumes across all company brands. Mahindra farm equipment is engineered to be easy to operate by first-time tractor or side-by-side owners, and heavy duty to tackle the tough jobs of rural living, farming and ranching. Steel-framed Mahindra tractors and side-by-sides are ideal for customers who demand performance, reliability and comfort at a great value. Mahindra dealers are independent, family-owned businesses located throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Chase Briscoe, Driver of the No. 14 Mahindra Tractors Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing:

What suits this new car to your driving style?

“I don’t know. I don’t feel like I’m really doing anything different. The last few weeks, the car has driven pretty similar to the old Cup car – not the 550 stuff, but the 750 package. I feel like just as a team we’ve gotten better. We’ve had more speed in our racecars where last year was obviously a struggle but, to me, the cars don’t drive a whole lot different. I don’t know if other guys just have more habits to break, where I didn’t really have a lot of things I needed to change as far as from an experience standpoint. The NextGen is kind of a hybrid between a Cup car and an Xfinity car in terms of feel, but I just think our cars have been really good. We’ve had a lot of speed and we’ve been able to capitalize on that, where last year we never had the speed we needed a lot of the time, and the races we did have speed and ran up front, we didn’t have it consistently like we have this year, so far.”

What do you think about this new car at Richmond?

“The racing at Richmond has been good in the past, it’s just so circumstantial. Everybody’s view of what makes it a good race is different. Some people want to see a lot of passing. Some people want to see the cars slipping and sliding around. Some people want to see wrecks. Others just want to see a close finish at the end. That definition of a good race is different for everybody, so I think for me at least, in the past Auto Club has been a blast. I had a blast there this year, too. Richmond, I don’t really know what to expect. I do think this car probably creates a little more grip than the old car does at places like Richmond, but I honestly don’t know what to expect when we get there. I think that we haven’t really seen this car on a true short track. Yes, Phoenix is a short track, but there’s not a lot of tire falloff, where at Richmond there’s a ton of falloff, so we have to see how this car reacts to that. It’ll definitely be interesting to see how this car impacts tire saving and guys going hard and things like that. I do think that, with this car, everywhere we go there are a lot of comers and goers. You have guys that are extremely good on the short run, guys that are good on the long run, and with this car you’re just constantly changing positions. You throw in the tire falloff side of things at Richmond and it’s going to be interesting, for sure.”

Can you talk about your relationship with Johnny Klausmeier?

“I feel like from the beginning we’ve always gotten along really well. From a personal standpoint, we’re both a lot alike. That’s kind of been different for me than crew chiefs I’ve had in the past. A lot of my crew chiefs aren’t as, I guess – I don’t even know what the word would be – just as laid back and relaxed as Johnny is. So, it’s been kind of different for me because normally it’s a deal where it’s hot and cold, where one guy is more amped up all the time and the other guy is really relaxed, where me and Johnny are both pretty relaxed all the time. I think, as we’ve continued to learn more about each other, we’ve only gotten better. Last year was tough with no practice and no qualifying. He was trying to figure out what I was even asking for sometimes. He hasn’t worked with any Sprint car guys before, and just our lingo and what we look for is different. I felt like toward the end of last season we really started to click as far as what I liked in the racecar, and this year we’ve done a phenomenal job of doing the same. I think our success on the racetrack has honestly come from having practice and having qualifying and all these things. Last year, we were always trying to catch up and it just made it a real struggle to where, by the end of the race, I always felt like our car drove really good and we were one of the faster cars, but we were just buried from a track position standpoint. We were already a lap down from the beginning of the race, so us being able to have practice and get our car driving really good and then go qualify and be able to start up front has been really good for our team.”

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

What can you say about your team’s success and consistency this year?

“The main thing is that this 10 team does not give up. Every race this season has had its ups and downs and we have made the most out of the day we are given. We’re the only team in the series right now that has stayed on the lead lap and it shows. Last weekend, we cut a tire and went back to 34th with six laps to go – then we had another tire issue. We pitted twice from 34th and still ended up with a top-20. No matter the circumstance, we race for one more spot until the checkered flag waves and I think our position in the points has shown that. Our time will come.”

This weekend is Richmond and next weekend is Martinsville, and you have had success at both and proven to show consistency at shorter tracks. How confident are you that you can secure your spot in the playoffs with a win at either of those tracks?

“With the way things are going, I’ve never had more confidence. This new car levels the playing field and puts it on the drivers to perform. We always run well at Richmond and Martinsville – even when we don’t have the best setup, so I’m really looking forward to it. Unlike last year, we’re in a great points position and we get to qualify, so we’re not backed into a points hole and can race without as much pressure as we did last year. When I got out of the car on Sunday at COTA, Drew (Blickensderfer) said, ‘Next weekend is going to be a good one,’ so the whole team is confident heading into the weekend.”

What kind of challenge does a short track like Richmond bring?

“I would say Richmond is one of the most challenging racetracks we go to for managing your tires throughout the run. The first 10, 15 or 20 laps of the run can make you feel like Superman roaring through the field, but you will pay a major penalty for that by lap 40. It makes it fun because, when we show up at Richmond, it really is about managing tire fall-off and making sure your car stays consistent throughout the run as the tires fall off.”

What’s it like to race at Richmond?

“Richmond is an awesome track to race at. It’s also pretty close to Smithfield, Virginia, so it’s a hometown race for Smithfield. It’s just a lot of fun to go there and race. In the fall, it’s racing at its finest, beating and banging. And the track has very little grip and the tires wear out, so it’s a really fun racetrack.”
