Hardpoint’s Daytona Lineup Features Rob Ferriol, Katherine Legge, Stefan Wilson and Nick Boulle For 24 Hour Return In Porsche 911 GT3 R

Ferriol, Legge to Pilot No. 99 GridRival Porsche 911 GT3 R For 2022 season, joined by Wilson at Michelin Endurance Cup events and Rolex-Winning Boulle at Daytona

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (January 10, 2022) – Hardpoint returns for the 2022 IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship season beginning with January’s Rolex 24 At Daytona, adding drivers Stefan Wilson and Nick Boulle to the full-time GT Daytona (GTD) class duo of Rob Ferriol and Katherine Legge in the No. 99 GridRival/GNARLY Jerky/de Boulle Diamond and Jewelry Porsche 911 GT3 R.

Ferriol, the team owner in addition to driving duties, and Legge co-drove in 2021 in Hardpoint’s first full season of IMSA WeatherTech competition. Ferriol earned IMSA’s Bob Akin Award in 2021 for the championship’s top Bronze-rated driver, and he and Legge were a part of the Hardpoint entry at the 2021 Rolex 24 that earned a top-10 finish in the team’s first 24 hour race. Legge was a runner-up at Daytona in the GTD class in 2018.

Wilson, a three-time Indianapolis 500 starter, makes his Rolex 24 debut celebrating the 10th anniversary of his late brother Justin Wilson’s win at the historic event overall in 2012. Wilson, through Hardpoint’s partnership with Cusick Motorsports, GNARLY Premium Cut Jerky, LOHLA SPORT and Neptune Systems, will be the additional driver at each of the Michelin Endurance Cup races, beginning at Daytona and including Sebring, Watkins Glen and Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.

Boulle joins Hardpoint as the 2017 Prototype Challenge class winner at that year’s Rolex 24 At Daytona. Boulle also has a pair of runner-up finishes in 2016 and 2020 and competed in a Porsche 911 GT3 R in the 2019 edition of the race, where he ran as high as second late before the race was shortened due to weather. This will be Boulle’s sixth time racing in the Rolex 24, but the first since his family business, de Boulle Diamond and Jewelry, has become an authorized Rolex dealer in Houston, Texas.

Though Wilson has limited IMSA experience with just one start in the IMSA WeatherTech Championship, that race – a 2017 Prototype Challenge-class run at Circuit of the Americas teamed with Boulle – resulted in a runner-up finish for the pair in their previous run as teammates.

Hardpoint returns to action at the Roar Before the 24, going on-track for the first time officially in 2022 on Friday, January 21. Three practice sessions and a qualifying on Friday and Saturday set up Sunday’s two-driver, 100-minute qualifying race. That race will set the grid for the following week’s Rolex 24 At Daytona, which includes practice on Thursday and Friday before the race begins on Saturday at 1:40 p.m. EST.

Noteworthy:

  • In addition to season-long partner GridRival, the most in-depth fantasy motorsports manager on the planet, Hardpoint’s No. 99 Porsche 911 GT3 R will carry the colors and logo of partners de Boulle Diamond and Jewelry, GNARLY Premium Cut Jerky, LOHLA Sport, Neptune Systems and Cusick Motorsports during the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
  • Hardpoint launched a new branding initiative at the start of the 2022 season, including a new logo, and shortened “Team Hardpoint” to simply “Hardpoint.” Hardpoint is a nod to Ferriol’s military background and refers to the strongest part of the aircraft where weapons, engines and other payloads are mounted.
  • Ferriol and Legge co-drove in 11 of 12 events last year, as Hardpoint ran a two-car effort at Sebring. Legge finished fifth in that race in an all-female lineup that included Christina Nielsen and Bia Figueiredo. Legge finished the season eighth in the driver’s championship, with Ferriol ninth. Hardpoint was eighth in the team championship.
  • Along with the team’s 2022 at-track activity, the Hardpoint eSports team is hosting weekly Happy Hour with Hardpoint meet-ups on iRacing open to fans and other racers. Each week features three different cars, including the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, at three different tracks with staggered start times including practice, qualifying and sprint races.

Hardpoint Quote Board

Rob Ferriol, Driver, No. 99 Porsche 911 GT3 R: “We’re a much smarter team than we were a year ago approaching Daytona for the first time in the Porsche 911 GT3 R, and now have the benefit of a full season under our belt, as well as a few new tools in the kit bag. While it’s been a very short off-season, we’ve taken those lessons learned and used this time to aggressively refine and retool the team, reinforcing in some areas, and bringing in new partners altogether in others. As a driver, I’m excited to start 2022 with a clean slate, sharing driving duties with Katherine once again, but also introducing Stefan and Nick to the fold. Nick and Stefan both bring their own unique perspectives to motorsport and demonstrate just how much of a melting pot this sport can be. It’s great to have them on board. As a team owner, I’m really stoked to see how the team has evolved over the off-season, and couldn’t be prouder to have GridRival back with us again this year, but also the litany of partners joining us at Daytona: Cusick Motorsports, Gnarly Jerky, LOHLA Sport, Neptune Systems, and de Boulle Diamond and Jewelry.”

Katherine Legge, Driver, No. 99 Porsche 911 GT3 R: “I feel honored to be back at Hardpoint for a second season. We had some promising races last year where we made decent progress and I think we can really carry that momentum and the lessons learned into 2022. As a team we have gone from strength to strength and I’m proud to be part of an effort with so much heart. We have made some offseason changes that I believe will enable us to capitalize on the strengths of the team, and Rob and I are determined and motivated to get that elusive podium soon. I have finished second at the Rolex before but still dream of that top step. We are very fortunate that Porsche and GridRival are on this journey with us and will strive to give them the results they deserve. We also welcome Stef and Nick to the fold, they both bring a different perspective and unique set of skills and I’m looking forward to working with both of them moving forward.”

Nick Boulle, Driver, No. 99 Porsche 911 GT3 R: “’I’ve been fortunate to run at Daytona several times now and I think it’s one of the most challenging races mentally. There are more difficult tracks out there, but at Daytona there are so few places to rest as a driver. This will be my sixth start at Daytona and I’m beyond excited to get back into a Porsche 911 GT3 R here. I have experience in the car and I think that the pairing with Rob, Katherine and Stefan is going to be a strong group. Stefan and I had the pleasure of racing together once previously in IMSA and we worked really well together. We are both relaxed, but care tremendously about getting a result. Last time it paid off with a third-place finish at the IMSA race at COTA in 2017 so hopefully we can have a repeat performance.”

Stefan Wilson, Driver, No. 99 Porsche 911 GT3 R: “I’m really happy with the way things turned out joining Hardpoint. To be partnering with Rob, Katherine and Nick is a great opportunity that I’m excited for and want to make the most of. This will only be my second IMSA WeatherTech start, and my first Rolex 24 start, but it’s a series and race that I’ve targeted for many years, I’m just really grateful to Don Cusick, Cusick Motorsports, GNARLY Premium Cut Jerky, LOHLA SPORT, Neptune Systems and Rob Ferriol for believing in me and giving me this chance. It suddenly dawned on me a couple of weeks ago that it’s not only the 60th Anniversary of the race, but it’s 10 years since Justin won overall. I have many fond memories of watching him compete in this race, and I hope I can create some good memories of my own there this month.”

Almirola To Retire at End of 2022 Season

Smithfield Foods To Continue as Anchor Partner for No. 10 Team

View Almirola’s YouTube Video HERE.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (Jan. 10, 2022) – The 2022 season will be Aric Almirola’s 15th and final year as a NASCAR Cup Series driver. The 37-year-old racer will retire after the season finale Nov. 6 at Phoenix Raceway.

Longtime sponsor Smithfield Foods will continue as an anchor partner of Almirola and the No. 10 team of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), with 2022 marking the brand’s 11th year with Almirola and its fifth with SHR.

“I truly enjoy driving racecars and I’m excited to race my heart out in 2022 for Smithfield and Stewart-Haas Racing,” said Almirola, driver of the No. 10 Smithfield Ford Mustang. “But to be the best in this business, you’ve got to be selfish, and for the last 37 years my life has always revolved around me and what I needed to do.

“I want to be present. I want to be the best husband and father, and that to me means more than being a racecar driver. So, it’s one more year where I’m all in on racing, where we’ll do whatever it takes to compete at the highest level. But when the season is over, I’ll be ready to wave goodbye. I’ve loved every minute of it, but it’s time for the next chapter of my life.”

Almirola made his NASCAR Cup Series debut on March 11, 2007 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, three days before his 23rd birthday. He teamed up with Smithfield in 2012 while at Richard Petty Motorsports for his first full year in Cup. The Smithfield/Almirola partnership is now one of the most tenured in NASCAR, and since the duo joined SHR in 2018, Almirola has represented Smithfield in the NASCAR Playoffs every year and scored two wins – Oct. 14, 2018 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway and July 18, 2021 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon.

“It’s been an absolute pleasure to have Aric as part of our Smithfield Family for more than a decade now,” said Shane Smith, president and CEO, Smithfield Foods. “In addition to being an incredibly talented racer and devoted family man, Aric embodies Smithfield’s values and has embraced our commitment to do good for our customers, employees and communities. He will always be family. We wish him all the best in his next chapter and look forward to another great year with him and Stewart-Haas Racing.”

Almirola’s decision to make the 2022 season his last was pragmatic. The Tampa, Florida-native is a husband and father of two, and as he and his wife, Janice, looked at life beyond racetracks on Sundays, Almirola determined that stepping back from racing would allow him to take new steps with his children as they pursue dreams of their own.

“Janice and I have spent many nights talking about it and the questions are the same as anyone else would have when you’re going to stop doing something. Can I afford it? The answer I kept coming up with is that I can’t afford not to. Will I regret it? I think I’ll regret it if I don’t,” Almirola said.

“At the end of this season, we’re going to have a 10-year-old in Alex and a nine-year-old in Abby, and I’m going to have a short window with them while they still think Dad is cool. I want to be there for them and to be a part of the things they’re interested in. Before we know it, they’re going to have car keys and they’re going to be running off with their friends, doing the same things I did when I was 16 or 17.”

Tony Stewart, co-owner of SHR with Haas Automation founder Gene Haas, first met Almirola in 2004 when they were teammates at Joe Gibbs Racing. Stewart was already a NASCAR Cup Series champion with the first of his three titles in hand (2002, 2005 and 2011) while Almirola was just beginning his NASCAR career after being selected as one of the first two drivers for Gibbs’ diversity program.

“I’ve watched Aric develop into a really good racecar driver and it was a proud moment when we were able to bring him to Stewart-Haas Racing,” Stewart said. “He’s really delivered for our race team and for Smithfield, always putting in maximum effort. I know he wants to go out on a high note and we’re going to give him all the resources to succeed.

“That being said, we also want him to enjoy this season. Aric is a great husband and father, and this year will bring a lot of cool moments that he’ll be able to share with his family. He’s earned this opportunity to go out on his terms.”

Almirola’s best seasons have come with SHR. He finished a career-high fifth in points in 2018 and scored a career-best 18 top-10 finishes in 2020.

“It means a lot to be able to walk away on my own terms. It’s been a great ride. I have been blessed beyond my wildest imagination and I honestly have no regrets,” Almirola said.

“Do I wish I would’ve won more races? Sure, and there’s still an opportunity this year. Do I wish I would’ve won a championship? Sure, and I’ve got a lot of drive to make that happen this year. I’m a competitive person. I want to win and I want to be a champion, but at the end of the day, I know that those things mean way less than being there for my family.

“I made it to the highest level of American motorsports as a professional racecar driver. It’s been amazing, with a lot of ups and downs and everything in between. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. But I’m ready to go back to being a fan.”

Almirola’s final season kicks off with the non-points Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum Feb. 5-6 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before the official start of the 2022 campaign with the 64th annual Daytona 500 Feb. 20 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.

There are also questions on fan engagement and the growth of gaming and eSports given that an INDYCAR video game is currently being developed in partnership with Motorsport Games; a brand-new franchise that is eagerly anticipated by racing and gaming fans and is expected to launch in 2023 on Xbox and PlayStation consoles and PC.

“We are looking forward to hearing from the global INDYCAR SERIES fans who will provide some great insight into the INDYCAR universe and how it can continue to expand and grow, and connect with its audience,” said James Allen, president of Motorsport Network. “With our industry-leading track record in this field, Motorsport Network is the ideal partner to spearhead this survey of NTT INDYCAR SERIES fans, given our global relevance as a leading digital platform, our extensive INDYCAR coverage across the network, not to mention the recent success we’ve had with the F1 global survey, which showed that 29% of F1 followers on our platforms also follow INDYCAR.”

Spire Motorsports has taken big leaps over the last few years, and we feel the platform of the new NextGen car will improve our performance all around.

For 2022, Zeigler Auto Group stepped up and that organization is the core reason I am back in the Cup Series. This is something we are working to grow into a multi-year effort.”

Does Magna Wave Help Arthritis?

Pulsed Magnetic Attraction Fields (PEMF) are designed to enable the body to realize savage wellbeing. Magna Wave machines have a novel electrical current that flows through a copper coil, making a rhythmic magnetic field. It has existed since the 1940s. Scientists have printed thousands of studies, clinical trials, and research articles on the subject. The use of PEMF is alleged to stimulate cell metabolism, increase oxygen supply, and reduce inflammation. This action will start a number of processes in the body that would result in better health without any adverse side effects.

PEMF is claimed to absolutely charge blood cells in order that they repel each other (like-magnetic charges repel), creating it not possible for them to stay together. This maximizes the flexibility of the blood cells to perform their tasks within the capillaries of all the main organs. The work of the lungs, liver, intestines, and kidneys is optimized once correct and decent flow can take place. Once the blood is oxygenated, thus are the organs and tissues, reducing illness which may turn out imbalances and sickness.

Regular PEMF uses cellular energy, leading to higher cellular health and function, that permits the body to supplement with efficiency, method the electrical and chemical exchanges related to those channels and address imbalances or dysfunctions in those areas – resulting in improved adaptation and natural health and wellness.

RA may be a condition characterized by pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and mood changes. These symptoms usually persist despite the utilization of anti-inflammatory drug medicine (NSAIDs) and malady modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Many ladies for whom these drugs don’t work communicate complementary and various therapies, as well as the use of magnetic devices. Though few studies have investigated the results of low-strength PMF pads in persons with RA, proof suggests that PMF could facilitate relief pain, inflammation, and fatigue.

PEMF medical aid for arthritis is well-tried to alleviate pain and stimulate recovery. Nearly every bone health issue like arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatism (RA), osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, among several alternative orthopedic disorders benefits from the utilization of standard periodic magnetic force field therapy.

PEMF offers a treatment possibility that’s safe and not drug-based. During a critical analysis of PEMF and located that PEMF could be a viable different medical aid for the treatment of each degenerative joint disease and atrophic arthritis.

A clinical study in patients with primary degenerative arthritis of the knee in whom PEMF administered 3 to 5 treatments per week for 30 minutes/day for a total of 18 treatments in one month had a 47% improvement in pain levels, joint movement, and tenderness.

MagnaWave is used in almost all competitive equestrian disciplines to improve the horse’s performance, maintain health and regenerate, laminitis, founders, stone bruises, and non-healing wounds.

Benefits of Magna wave: relieve anxiety, muscular pain, arthritis relief, boost immunity, increase range of motion, pain relief, and reduce inflammation.

Magna Wave PEMF (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field) The medical care serves to assist regenerate broken or morbid tissue. It enhances the synthesis of supermolecules within the cells, which permits the body to require full advantage of all the proteins available. Circulation is improved, and thorough treatment, the vascular system is stirred up to wash damaged areas and detoxify the body.

Magna Wave PEMF remedy in addition can increase blood elements on the mobile level. Studies have well-tried that blood oxygen is also improved through heaps mutually hundred to 200%.

How to Play Slots Efficiently – Increase Your Chances of Winning?

Do you love playing online slots? Do you enjoy the thrill of the game and the chance to win some extra cash? If so, then you’re not alone. Many people like playing these games. But if you want to increase your chances of winning while playing these games, there are a few things that you should do. 

Here are a few tips on how to increase your odds of winning playing the slots:

Choose the right game

Not all slots are created equal – some ufa games have a higher chance of paying out than others. So be sure to choose a game that has a good payout percentage. You can find this information by checking the game’s paytable.

Play on progressive slots

Progressive slots offer the chance to win some huge payouts. So, if you’re looking for a chance to win big, then be sure to play on these slots.

The trick to winning on progressive slots is to play multiple lines. If you bet the maximum number of coins available for each line, then your odds of winning are much higher than if you only played one or two coins per spin.

Play for a long time

The longer that you play a slot machine, the more opportunities you have to win. So, if you want your chances of winning to increase dramatically, then be sure to play multiple rounds in each session. This will give you better odds of hitting a big winner.

You have to put time into a slot machine for it to pay off. If you only play for a few minutes, your chances of hitting that big win are meager. So, you need to invest time into these games if you want to increase your odds of winning.

Take notes about machines that payout more

It’s a good idea to take notes when you notice a machine that pays out more or if one seems to be a little on the stingy side. This way, you can avoid these machines in the future and play on those that are more likely to pay out.

You’ll find that the more you play, the easier it becomes to notice which machines will payout and which ones aren’t. When this happens, be sure not to spend too much time on a machine if it seems like it’s not going to pay out.

Read online reviews about which casinos have the best slots

Not all casinos have the same slots. So, if you’re looking for a casino that has a lot of good-paying machines, be sure to do some research online before signing up at any specific casino.

You can find information about which casinos have the best slot machines by reading online reviews from other players. This is a great way to know which casinos are worth your time and which ones you should avoid.

These are just a few tips on how to increase your chances of winning while playing online slots. Be sure to follow these tips the next time you hit the casino and see if they help improve your odds of winning!

NASCAR drivers excited after taking first laps on all-new Atlanta Motor Speedway

Official Release

HAMPTON, Ga. (Jan. 7, 2022) – When the first week of the New Year arrived and brought with it the first opportunity for NASCAR drivers to take laps on the newly revamped and reimagined Atlanta Motor Speedway, it didn’t take long for everyone involved to reach a consensus.

This isn’t your grandpa’s AMS.

“There’s a ton of new here. It’s probably not even fair to go comparing to the old Atlanta at this point, there’s just so many variables in it,” said Chris Buescher, driver of the No. 17 for Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing.

“I’m that brain emoji where my brain is blowing off,” added Kurt Busch, driver of the No. 45 for 23XI Racing. “There’s a lot to digest. It’s an engineering marvel to bank a racetrack with this much banking and keep the turns this sharp and to have it as smooth as it is. They did a really good job.””

Throughout the week, drivers participating in the Goodyear tire test circuited AMS hundreds of times to help identify the best tire combination for the all-new, steeper Atlanta and NASCAR’s Next Gen race cars.

“Goodyear has brought a control tire and then different options, whether that be softer compounds or different staggers. That’s something we’ve been working with a lot with this new car; the rear independent suspension, the transaxle, and everything has really changed a lot of that feel. I think some of the low-profile tire has changed it as well,” explained Buescher. “All the cars, one from each manufacturer, go through the same tires and the same tests so we can take all that data and put it together.”

While the hours spent on track help Goodyear with its task, it also gives these select drivers an opportunity to get up to speed on the all-new Atlanta before their fellow competitors.

“I don’t think that every driver in the series was signing up to do this tire test, but I was,” said Ross Chastain, driver of the No. 1 for Trackhouse Racing. “I was excited and I wanted to come learn and see it for myself, walk the track, feel it in the racecar and see: what do we need to do when we come back here? We’re going to race here twice – what do we need to do?”

Kurt Busch — a four-time winner at Atlanta, including the final race on the previous configuration last July — was immediately struck by the new characteristics of the nearly 62 year old speedway.

Donald Warr – J06F0002.JPG“It was exciting to go out on track and be in a different environment, but yet here at Atlanta Motor Speedway,” said Busch. “It’s completely changed with the banking, the fresh asphalt. It’s a clean slate and the Next Gen car is a clean slate and so (Wednesday) was a big day with excitement and anticipation of how the track would drive and how it would feel.”

After getting valuable track time, drivers expect a style of racing that Atlanta Motor Speedway has never seen before when the field takes the green flag for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 on March 20th.

“Once we got out there in a group the pace picked up by over a second having the cars draft together,” said Busch. “There’s a lot of speed that you have by yourself and things were amplified way more than what we expected when we had just three cars drafting with each other.”

With their cars gaining speed and staying close together while in a draft, drivers anticipate racing at the all-new AMS will resemble the likes of Daytona and Talladega while still being unique to Atlanta.

“In NASCAR we have our Daytona and Talladega style draft and those are on 2.5- and 2.66-mile tracks,” explained Busch. “This is a mile-and-a-half. Things are going to be moving quicker. You’re going to be digesting things much faster.”

“It’s going to be maybe like Daytona before they repaved it. Before (they repaved Daytona) guys had to have good handling cars as well as a superspeedway car that would draft good,” said Chastain. “You’re going to have to have a combination of that here. You’re going to have to have a lot of friends and I probably need to get to work on that because I don’t know that I have that many!”

The bottom line for NASCAR fans: the 2022 races at Atlanta Motor Speedway are can’t-miss events.

“Two-wide will be no problem. Three-wide – yeah, you’ll have that when you have the right opportunity with hot tires, the grip level, and when people are more comfortable with their setups,” said Busch. “So it’s just going to ramp up and get more aggressive as we get more and more laps on track.”

“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun coming back for the race,” added Buescher. “I am looking forward to it. I think they did a good job with the ideas that they’ve implemented to create an exciting race weekend.”

Seats for Cup Series racing at AMS – including the inaugural Cup race at the new AMS on March 20th – start at just $39. Tickets are available now at AtlantaMotorSpeedway.com.
