How Atlanta Motor Speedway’s new asphalt is made

By
Official Release
-

HAMPTON, Ga. (Nov. 29, 2021) – Paving on Atlanta Motor Speedway’s new 28-degree banking is an impressive operation, but the process to give AMS its new asphalt doesn’t start at the track.

About 20 miles away at ER Snell’s asphalt plant in Stockbridge, Ga., years of prep and tons of material all come together to create Atlanta Motor Speedway’s asphalt mix.

Asphalt is created primarily using two products: a mix of hard materials like stones and gravel called the aggregate, and liquid asphalt.

“The liquid asphalt is a petroleum based product. It’s actually the glue that holds everything together in the asphalt mixture,” said Robbie Robinson, senior technical services manager for Associated Asphalt. While the stone aggregate for the AMS project comes to ER Snell from a nearby quarry, the liquid asphalt is hauled in from Associated Asphalt’s facility in Savannah, Ga. Robinson says that liquid is one of the key components that makes the speedway’s new asphalt unique.

“With the NASCAR cars you have the tires that create a lot of friction on the wearing surface. This product is a little stiffer; it’s going to be little more durable than your typical highway asphalt,” explained Robinson. “There’s a lot behind the scenes research and development that goes into making this product.”

The liquid asphalt isn’t the only part of Atlanta Motor Speedway’s mix that deviates from the norm. The composition of the stone aggregate that it binds with has also been optimized for racing.

“Six years ago we put up some designs for the project, then some of (the speedway’s) engineers came in and pointed out that they wanted a bit of a coarser mix,” said ER Snell Senior Vice President Nick Murphy. “A lot of that stemmed from the desires of the tire manufacturers and there was a lot of talk about the wear on the tires and what they’d expect at race time.

“Those are some things that we don’t encounter on a day-to-day basis so it kind of threw us a curveball, but we were able to make those adjustments and provide those properties that you were looking for.”

With the recipe for the racing surface nailed down, perhaps the biggest challenge to actually creating and paving the new asphalt comes down to logistics. Throughout the paving process, much effort has been spent making sure all the materials and manpower needed to complete the project are working in unison.

“Our business is very labor-intensive,” said Murphy. “We rely on a lot of different components, whether it be the liquid supplier, the liquid hauling, the truckers that are getting the material here to the yard, the plant personnel, the truckers getting the material back to the track and the paving operation itself. Everything has to move smoothly and if one breaks, then the whole system shuts down. So we definitely rely on a lot of people to make it all happen and make it a success.”

As paving at Atlanta Motor Speedway nears completion, it’s clear the sum of all that effort and coordination is a racing surface that will thrill fans for decades to come.

“We’ve got a good group of people behind this project. We’ve got people that take their jobs very seriously,” said AMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Brandon Hutchison following a tour of ER Snell’s plant. “Atlanta Motor Speedway and our fans are what is most important to me so to be able to come out here, get to take a look behind the scenes at what is being produced that’ll provide entertainment for years to come is exciting for me. This asphalt will be our track for over 20 years – hopefully 30 years with the technology that we have today.”

The all-new Atlanta Motor Speedway makes its NASCAR debut in 2022. Tickets for both race weekends are available now at AtlantaMotorSpeedway.com.

How Can Upswell Marketing Help You With Your Automotive Print Advertising?

Automotive repair shops face some unique challenges when it comes to attracting new customers. For one thing, auto shops rely exclusively on local drivers for their business. During the pandemic, many retail stores moved the bulk of their operations online, but that wasn’t an option for repair shops.

The good news is that, no matter what else is going on in the world, drivers will still need to have tires replaced, brakes changed, and cars repaired. Auto shop owners just need to figure out how to let all those potential customers know they’re open for business. Read on to find out how Upswell can help.

An Advertising Agency With Specialized Expertise

Some marketing firms provide only generalized services, working with clients in dozens of industries across multiple states. Upswell Marketing is different. This advertising agency provides specialized services to local businesses with a focus on auto shops.

Working with an agency that has specialized expertise comes with some unexpected benefits. For one, these professionals have already worked with similar clients in other cities or states, which means they know what works and what doesn’t. Plus, the specialized automotive advertisers at Upswell are experts in leveraging data and analytics to create, track, and improve print marketing campaigns just like they would digital advertising.

Direct Mail Marketing

Most auto shops draw the majority of their customers from the immediate area. Even the best shops rarely see repeat business from drivers who live in different cities or even different neighborhoods. The highly localized nature of auto shop customer bases makes targeted direct mail marketing campaigns a perfect fit.

Upswell starts every direct mail marketing campaign by performing a comprehensive assessment of the shop’s past marketing efforts, target audiences, and branding efforts. From there, the design team will work with the shop owner to determine the right format for the mailers and come up with a compelling message that includes both text and images. Options include:

  • Postcards
  • Scratch-offs
  • Bifolds and tri-folds
  • Newsletters
  • Plastic gift card mailers
  • Envelope mailers
  • And more

The experts at Upswell don’t wash their hands of the campaign as soon as the mailers go out, either. Shop owners can expect to get not just an excellent return on investment but also detailed reporting about the success of the campaign, including what worked and what didn’t. Many shop owners are so happy with Upswell’s direct mail marketing services that they choose to send weekly newsletters, mailers, or postcards to the area’s most promising potential customers.

Integrated Services

While print marketing offers auto shops a fantastic way to reach local drivers and increase brand awareness, direct mail campaigns shouldn’t be the only strategy put into place. Every modern business also needs an outstanding website, up-to-date directory listings, active social media pages, and a positive online reputation. Working with Upswell means getting access to not just print media services but also an experienced team of web designers and digital marketers.

Reach Out Today

Ready to start seeing more cars pulling into that empty garage? There’s no reason to navigate the complex world of print marketing for auto shops alone. The experts at Upswell are here to help and offer free marketing assessments to new clients.

What are the uses of auto transport

Auto transport is a service that provides a vital service for a lot of people throughout the US. There are companies like USTrans.com that specialize in open and enclosed transport to all different US states, including Hawaii and Puerto Rico, companies that are dedicated to providing the best transport service, with minimal delays, total safety for your vehicle, and overall fair prices.

Here’s what auto transport does for you

In order for vehicle transport services, it must first be within the confines of a US state, and it must be accessible by road. Even if the vehicle is not rolling due to a flat tire or a mechanical problem, if a semi-truck, and get to it, it can be picked up.

Prices, on the other hand, fluctuate greatly, which depends on the market of your intended destination, the season, the type of vehicle, the deadline, as well as the condition of the vehicle. There are also different circumstances under which such a service is booked, and to a great extent, these factors will also determine the price of said transport job.

It saves you time and effort

One of the ways for a vehicle to move from one location to another is if someone drives it there. However, this requires time and quite a lot of effort, especially if it’s a great distance and if there’s a lot to be done before, especially if the vehicle itself is not in good condition.

If you need a vehicle moved across the country, then you probably don’t want to drive it there because it would take several days of near-constant driving, a lot of gas money, and you will be risking your life. Despite the good infrastructure of the country, a lot of roads see quite a large number of car accidents, and taking on a job like that and driving a vehicle on your can be quite hazardous. So beforehand, spending time researching how can I ship a car to its destination will save you a lot of time and stress.

It reduces the wear on a vehicle

Moving a vehicle with a company will also reduce the amount of wear on the vehicle itself. Since the car will sit on a platform and will not be moving on its own, with no tire, engine, or transmission wear accumulating.

Even though cars were created to be driven, there are circumstances under which not accumulating more wear and tear on a vehicle is the best choice. Such circumstances are show or sport vehicles, which are high-performance machines that need to be in top shape for a specific event.

It’s safer for the roads

Fewer cars on the road mean a reduced chance of road accidents. If you are not personally taking part in the road network, but are having a company like USTrans.com handle your auto transport, then you will be a lot safer and the roads will be safer as well.

Quicker than doing it yourself

A professional service like that is also a lot safer for you and for anyone involved than to actually do it yourself. It’s also quite a lot cheaper, quicker, safer for the vehicle itself with a reduced overall cost and general inconvenience.

A Guide To Repelling Rodents From Your Car

By

-

Rodents such as mice are dirty, disease-ridden creatures that can destroy the interior and wiring, or electrical components of your vehicle. If you don’t combat the problem as soon as possible, it will most likely worsen with time and that is why you need an effective rat repellent. A mice infestation is not just limited to your house, they can also infest cars as well. This is why we’ve put together this guide of effective rodent repellent for car engines.

Rodents can squeeze through the vehicle vents and enter the vehicle and cause damage. They can also die inside the vehicle and leave a very bad smell. They can chew on the wiring, padding or heat shields, and other various circuits under the hood leading to numerous problems. If you do nothing to combat the infestation, it will soon spread throughout the vehicle. It’s important to understand that the issue will not just go away on its own. You run the danger of having future vehicle performance difficulties.

What steps can You take to keep mice or other rodents out of your vehicle?

A mouse in your automobile is no joke. This article goes over the fundamentals of preventing an infestation or steps to remove mice and other rodents from your vehicle, including how to prevent mice from entering your car’s engine and other small entrances.

Mice are small mammals that can get into any car, no matter how well you think it is protected. Mice are able to squeeze through openings less than a dime in diameter, making it quite convenient for them to enter your vehicle.

They do this by using the following entry points:

  • Small openings like the vehicle vents.
  • Cables usually have larger holes in the mainframe, which allows the wires to flow freely throughout the car, connecting different parts.
  • Around the pedal shafts.
  • The steering column opening.

Rodents like mice dislike anything that is large, bright, moving, or attracts their attention. Keeping a car off-limits and unattractive to mice is critical. We do not condone harming or injuring rodents, which is why we love natural rodent repellent products, some are much more effective than others so make sure to buy from a reputable brand.

What time of year are the rodents most active?

Rodents are busy all year, and their activities vary with season. Rodents are always on the move during summer seeking food, water, and shelter. They spend winters within their nests and tend to be more active in the warmer months. Mice are nocturnal creatures that are primarily active between 5:30 pm to 6:30 am, so only a few humans or animals notice as they are prey animals.

Rodents such as mice are naturally drawn to the shelter that a vehicle will provide during the cold winter, resulting in your vehicle being a perfect place for nesting. Thankfully, mice can be deterred with just a little effort with rodent repellents that will keep them away and out, so your vehicle remains safe from damage.

Frequent use of cars has proven to prevent rodents from approaching your vehicles. By not letting your vehicle sit for long periods of time can discourage and prevent rodents from entering it and doing damage.

Steps to repel rodents from your vehicle:

  1. Rodents are searching for a suitable nesting location that is dark. Leaving the hood up could help prevent nesting, it may not repel all rats, but it’ll do so for most of them.
  2. Secure your pet food. Rodents prefer dog food over pet foods. Rodents will store many bits of it in your vehicles vents and other vacant areas, which they have deemed to be their shelter.
  3. Place traps and other rodent-repelling measures in areas where rodents are known to congregate around the vehicle. You can also trim any nearby thick bushes where rodents might like to live or hide.
  4. Rodents are able to get into the engine through large or even very small openings. They climb up wheels to access the engine, so some vehicle owners set traps near the car or on the wheels and entrances. To prevent engine ports from being blocked, use a wire screen.
  5. Rodents can hear sounds of low frequency that we humans can’t. Some rodents will be repelled by these loud noises while others will not be. Although, you may need something more permanent than sound waves and the use of ultrasound is advised.
  6. Rodents will avoid vents and small openings of your vehicle if they smell foul, at least to some degree. Peppermint oil, hair of their natural predator, and laundry dryer sheets have all worked.

Some signs that rodents are in your vehicle:

Below are some of the most common indicators that your vehicle is infested:

1) Smell: There could be an unpleasant odor that you may not always be able to identify.

2) Noise: Rodents will make scratching or chewing noises while they are starting to expose what’s underneath but gnawing on a wire or the coverings.

3) Marks: You could notice chew marks or bite blemishes on areas such as but not limited to the floor mats, padding, or safety belts.

4) A Faulty Display: The vehicle wiring could have been compromised by rodents chewing on it, causing electrical issues or faulty displays.

Conclusion

In the event that you notice any of these signs, the time has come to call an expert. Rodents can be harmful and detrimental to your vehicle’s engine. If you already have rodents in your car, make sure you get rid of all of them from within the engine compartment, so they cannot cause any more damage. Make sure that the pest control company has experience with rodents in cars because they may have special techniques for removing them without harming the car or causing more damage than necessary.

We hope this blog answers all of your questions about how to repel rodents from your car!

Litespeed Racing launches world’s lightest carbon fiber wheel

By
Official Release
-

Los Angeles, California, Nov. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Litespeed Racing, SEMA award winning wheel manufacture from Orange County California has released its all new full carbon fiber wheel, the “Carbon One” at the Los Angeles International Auto Show this week.

The revolutionary Carbon One wheel weighs in at a feather light 14.2 pounds for 20X9.5 inch, making it the lightest 20 inch wheel in the world. The secret to its ultra lightweight is in its manufacturing process. Not all carbon fiber products are manufactured in the same way. Litespeed Racing chose the lightest, strongest and most expensive manufacturing technique, which is normally reserved for aerospace and military grade carbon fiber components. The Carbon One wheel is made from prepreg, “dry” carbon fiber and is cured under extreme heat and pressure inside of an Autoclave. The prepreg “dry” process is different from standard carbon fiber which is made by applying a wet resin to the raw carbon fiber sheet. This dry process is much more precise and is very strong, which allows for lighter and stronger carbon fiber parts, that can also withstand higher temperatures.

Lightweight wheels have many advantages, from improving acceleration, braking and handling to even improving fuel efficiency. Professional race car driver Scott Birdsall recently used Litespeed Racing wheels on his world record setting Pikes Peak race. Birdsall commented “These Litespeed Racing wheels are the lightest that I have every held”. In addition to being lightweight, the carbon fiber construction also makes the wheels very stiff. 3rd party testing has found the Carbon One wheel to be the stiffest wheel that they have ever tested. But Litespeed Racing wheels are not only for race cars. Street driven cars can benefit from them too. They have been tested according to VIA and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) protocols, which includes testing that simulates a wheel being hit by another car and a test that simulates hitting a large pothole.

About Litespeed Racing

Litespeed Racing is an automotive accessory manufacture founded in 2006, which specializes in ultra lightweight wheels for both streetcars and race cars. Its wheels have been used on both streetcars and a number of record setting, and class winning racecars. For more information on the Carbon One wheel, or any of Litespeed Racing’s wheels, please visit their website, or social media pages (Instagram/ Facebook : Litespeedracing).

BENDER GETS THREE SECOND PLACE FINISHES FOR SEXTON GATLIN RACING

By
Official Release
-

(Lakeside, CA, November 26, 2021) After his win in the prestigious “5th Annual Western States Lightning Sprint Car Championship” at the Bakersfield Speedway on November 16th, red-hot AJ Bender of San Diego, California reeled off three straight second place finishes at the “Hangtown 100” at the Placerville Speedway.  That gives Bender two wins, three second place finishes, a third and a fifth in seven races with Sexton Gatlin Racing. 

Drivers accumulated points in qualifying, heats and preliminary main events the first two nights at Placerville.  Those points determined the driver’s starting positions for the beginning of Saturday’s program, which featured two qualifiers, two B mains and a 30 lap A main finale. 

Two days after Bakersfield, Sexton Gatlin Racing showed up at Placerville with a contingent of four drivers.  Father Brent Sexton, his sons Grant & Dalton and Bender represented the team on the track.  In addition, they had former racer Seth Kramer serving as crew chief for the high-status three-night race.

Night 1, Thursday, November 18

Bender opened things in a strong way for SGR when he was second fast qualifier out of 32-cars that participated in time trials when he clocked in at 12.624 on the red-clay quarter mile.  Grant, the youngest member of the Lakeside, California based team, was fourth quick at 12.722.  After flying up to the race, Brent and Dalton got caught in traffic on Interstate 5 and missed qualifying.  In fact, they were changing into their fire suits in the car on the way to the track and just made it in time to start the heat races.

After his impressive showing in qualifying, Bender turned in a nice performance in the second heat race taking the win after starting sixth. Dalton was in the third heat and due to not getting a qualifying lap, he started at the back of the pack in ninth and finished sixth. The final heat race matched Grant and Brent against each other.  Grant did the same as Bender did in heat race #1.  He started sixth, drove through the field and picked up the win.  Brent started in ninth and drove all the way to a third-place finish.

Bender, Grant and Brent all earned tickets straight into the main event.  Dalton had to contest the B feature but did not secure one of the transfer spots.

For the opening night 25-lap main event, Grant, and Bender shared row #2 for the start.  Brent was coming from the inside of row five.  To say Brent’s main event race was a short one is an understatement.  Coming down for the green flag to start the race, several cars bunched up near the front of the pack and the car starting next to Brent clobbered him causing both to flip without getting a lap in.  Brent was uninjured, but his race was over before it started with an 18th place finish.  

Grant was running fourth early in the main when he bicycled and went over the cushion in turn one before coming to a stop.  The teen restarted at the back and a few laps later met with the same fate on the same part of the track.  He restarted at the back again and tipped it over, ending his night with a frustrating 16th place finish. 

Bender flew the SGR colors and battled hard for a very impressive second-place finish.   

Night #2, Friday, November 18

The second night of the “Hangtown 100” saw 34-cars check into the pits.  Grant, who qualified fourth on Thursday, went two spots better on Friday with the second fastest time of 12.650.  Bender was right behind in third with a 12.657.  Dalton made it three SGR cars in the top 10 when he timed in seventh best at 12.789.  Brent’s lap of 13.236 was 20th.  

For the second night in a row, Grant started in sixth in his eight-lap heat.  This time he drove forward to finish second.  Like Grant, Bender started sixth in his heat for the second time in 24 hours. Like his teenage teammate, he brought the #2J home in second.  Dalton was in the same heat and placed sixth.  Brent took advantage of his outside front row starting spot to win the last heat race. 

All four SGR cars started the main event.  This time Bender and Grant shared row three.  Brent was coming from the ninth spot and Dalton was coming from 16th.  A bizarre scenario played out on a lap four restart, and it included the two Sexton siblings.  Grant was running fourth when the car in third hit a rut in turn one knocking him up the track directly in front of Grant. With nowhere to go, Grant clipped the car’s rear will and turned over.  Seconds later as the cars were slowing down for the red flag, Dalton got upside down in turn three.  Grant was able to get his car back to the pits quickly.  In the time it took to get Dalton’s car off the track, the crew repaired Grant’s car and he returned to action.

Once the green flag restarted the race, Grant dazzled the crowd driving all the way back to a thrilling fourth place finish.  Just ahead of him, it looked as though Bender was going to finish third.  However, when the second-place car went wide coming off turn four, Bender pounced to his inside, snatched the position away and finished second.  Brent ended up finishing ninth and that was nine spots better than he placed on Thursday night.

Night #3, Saturday, November 20

Unfortunately, the damage Dalton’s car suffered in Friday’s A main was too severe to be fixed.  Thus, he was unable to compete on Saturday night.  The show started off with the top 20 in points split into two qualifier races.  The top five from each qualifier went into the main event.  The remainder of the cars went to the B main.

Being high point man from the first two nights, Bender started on the pole in the first qualifier and bagged the win sending him to the A finale.  Grant started fourth but finished sixth meaning he would have to go to one of the two last chance B mains.  Brent started and finished seventh in his qualifier sending him into the other last chance B main.

The two B mains proved good for father and son.  Grant started on the pole to win the first one.  Brent started on the outside of the first row in the second B and he also took the win. The victories sent each into the main event.

For the 30-lap finale, Bender started on the outside of the third row.  Grant started 11th and Brent started 12th.  Unfortunately, Grant’s weekend came to a premature end when he blew a hole in the header on the eighth lap. 

Bender bided his time and slowly worked his way towards the front.   He took the fourth spot on lap 16 and three laps later he moved into third.  It looked like third was where he was going to finish, but driving his heart out, he caught the second-place car on lap 23.  From there, he engaged in a fierce battle for the runner up spot that included wheel rubbing.  By the time he secured second, it was too late to catch the leader and he finished second for the third night in a row.  Brent crossed the line in 12th. 

“Running second all three nights kind of sucks to be honest,” Bender lamented after the race.  “I feel we were good and could have raced Logan (winner Logan Seavey).  I just did not get through traffic as good as he did.”

SGR will get this weekend off, before heading to the Imperial Valley Raceway for the POWRi Lucas Oil Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series “Lettuce Cup” on December 3rd and 4th.

Teenager Grant will be the first SGR driver to be back in action after the early December weekend at Imperial when he wheels one of the Hyper house cars in three different classes at the “36th Annual Tulsa Shootout” from December 29th through January 1st. The event takes place inside the massive SagNet Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is the biggest micro sprint race in the world and will be available to race fans around the globe on https://www.floracing.com/.

Three Unique Ways to Save and Make Money with your Car(s)

Every once in a while, it’s good practice to spend some time addressing your finances and discovering ways to reduce spending and increase savings. Similar to your rent, mortgage, or utilities, your car can be a significant cost annually. Fortunately for you, there are plenty of ways to reduce costs and put them towards future projects, activities, vacations, or your savings account, but today we’ll focus on some of the more unconventional methods of saving and using your car as a financial asset.

Unique Auto Insurance Policies

Regardless of where you live, complying with your states law’s regarding car insurance is mandatory, however, there are ways to reduce your rates and premiums based on your liabilities, and how you use your vehicles. There are more specific insurance plans that offer discounts and better rates based on the general use of a vehicle. A great example of this would be infrequently driven cars due to the pandemic, coinciding with working remotely. A good question to ask yourself in this scenario would be “how much can I save on car insurance on a car I rarely drive?”, and applying this to a more cost-efficient insurance plan. The question itself helps provide its own solution, and one would quickly discover savings of around 30% annually on a simple policy change. A unique insurance plan such as this could also go beyond working remotely and also be applied to other less-used vehicles you possess to provide even more savings.

Renting Out Your Car

Alike the aforementioned point of rarely driven car insurance, you could also inquire about renting your car out. This method could be perfect for individuals who work from home or spend a lot of time flying to different states or abroad for work or travel and wish to keep their existing insurance plan. This is easily done securely through the means of apps and websites. These apps will often provide their insurance or work with your existing insurance provider to rent your car out safely and securely with minimal risk to your vehicle. They also offer protections such as cleaning and detailing in the event of mistreatment by a customer. All in all, this method provides a very hands-off approach to using your vehicle as an asset to generate money.

Ride-Sharing

Another uncommonly used method to save or even generate money is ride-sharing. Ride-sharing is essentially just car-pooling but nowadays can be a bit more advanced and involved. Typically, this will be done through an app, website, or social media by posting a listing and having others pay to ride along in your vehicle for the journey. This method can be fantastic additional income for those who travel a lot for work or leisure and will easily cover the costs of gas. Ride-sharing also offers the opportunity to meet new people, and allow for more enjoyable drives which in turn could yield additional health benefits as well as connections for resumes and opportunities. There is a caveat, however, in that some people may just be unpleasant, or attempt to avoid paying, but if you use secure apps, they will provide protections such as rating systems and background information to prevent instances of this sort of behavior.

Conclusion

When it comes to methods to save money and use your car as an asset, one may not consider these previously mentioned methods and miss out on the potential extra benefits of car ownership. It’s equally likely that these methods may not even be beneficial to you depending on circumstance, or work situations but as you continue throughout your ever-changing lives, simply knowing about these options could provide benefits to you and your family in the future, and help pave the way to a better life.

Jimco Racing to Sponsor 2021 BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400

Jimco vehicles on display at 2021 Mint 400 Off-Road Festival in downtown Las Vegas

Jimco Racing will return to the 2021 BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400 as a supporting sponsor of the Great American Off-Road Race, Mint 400 officials announced today. Jimco’s all-conquering off-road vehicles, a mainstay of the event, will not only be competing during the race in Primm, but will also be on display as part of the Mint 400 Off-Road Festival on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas before the race.

“Jimco vehicles have been a mainstay of the Mint 400 for nearly half a century,” said Mint 400 CEO Matt Martelli. “We’re excited to once again be able to welcome Jimco Racing as a partner of this year’s BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400, and we look forward to watching Jimco builds compete in our premier race classes with some of the most competitive teams in the sport, including the Unlimited Truck class with former overall Mint 400 winner Justin Lofton.”

Founded by Navy engineer Jim Julson in 1975, Jimco Racing has evolved from crafting hobby-level, one-off race cars into to an award-winning one-stop shop for professional racing teams. The first Jimco chassis was a class 9, 1200cc single seat car for both father and son to campaign. With what was at first just another race team quickly became more. With the sleek lines of the car and the success on the race track, Jimco soon had a following of both good drivers and talented fabricators and mechanics.

Robbie Pierce, who bought Jimco in 2018 from the Julson family, has been around the off-road racing industry for decades. He’s owned other race component manufacturing businesses that were suppliers to Jimco, such as Mastercraft Safety and Impact Racing Products. Pierce is also an Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame Inductee for his innovations and commitment to safety in off-road motorsports, and also developed mass-production methods for welding titanium golf club heads and aerospace components. Pierce’s experience isn’t just in fabrication and safety equipment, however; he’s also a competitor racing a Trophy Truck (a 900-horsepower, tube-chassis, off-road racing machine).

The Mint 400 has held the title of the toughest, most spectacular off-road race in North America since 1968 when it was first run. Initially, the race was a public relations event promoting the Mint Hotel’s annual deer hunt. but what started out as a hotel promotion soon grew into a legitimate desert race. Since its 2008 revival, “The Great American Off-Road Race” has only gotten bigger and more prestigious, and deeper fields every year only make it tougher to win.

This year’s BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400 will take place from December 1-5 in Las Vegas. More information on the event for racers and spectators is available at TheMint400.com, or follow the event on Facebook and Instagram. For more information on Jimco, visit www.jimcoracing.com.

SEAVEY WINS HANGTOWN 100 FINALE – ROOKIE GASPER WINS CLS CHAMPIONSHIP

By
Official Release

David Gasper and crew after sewing up the 2021 CLS championship.

(Upland, CA, November 24, 2021) Logan Seavey won the three-night battle and his second main event in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series/Bay Cities Racing Association co-sanctioned “Hangtown 100” last Saturday night at the Placerville Speedway. At the same time, rookie David Gasper of Santa Barbara won the eight-month, 17 race war and was crowned 2021 California Lightning Sprint Car Series champion.

Driving the Kittle Motorsports/Gasper Racing/Valley Precision Products/#18, the 16-year-old became the 18th different champion in the 27-season history of the CLS. Not only did he win the season long CLS championship, but earlier in the week he sewed up the title in the annual four-race CLS vs BCRA “Civil /War Series.” In addition, he is the CLS “Rookie of the Year.”

The night started out with a pair of 10-car, 12-lap qualifying races featuring the top 20 in points from the first two nights. The odd number positions were in heat qualifier #1 and the even numbers were in qualifier two. The races were lined straight up by points with the top five finishers in each moving into the final night main event. Drivers finishing sixth on back in the qualifiers, went to a pair of B mains where they were joined by the drivers who were not among the top 20 in points.

San Diego’s A.J. Bender, who finished second in the main events on the first two nights, was the high-point driver and he won the first qualifier over Palmdale’s Eric Greco, Dominic Del Monte of Gardena, Jeff “Ponch” Dyer of Yucca Valley and 14-year-old Braden Chiaramonte of El Cajon.

Seavey, who was fresh off a win in the USAC National Sprint Car Series “Western World Championship” the week before at the Arizona Speedway, and Gasper were both in the second qualifier. Seavey captured the victory over Bellingham, Washington’s Alex Lewis. Gasper, Waterford’s Dakota Albright, and Langley, British Columbia’s Levi Klatt took the other two transfers.

The final 12 tickets to the 30-lap finale would be determined in two B main events. The first of the two went to Lakeside teenager Grant Sexton. Chris Crowder of Colorado Springs, Colorado, who won the main event the night before, track specialist Scott Kinney of Citrus Heights, Placerville local Brandon Leedy, James Turnbull of Indio and Rancho Cordova’s Craig Holsted nailed down the other transfer spots.

Emulating his son’s performance in the first B main, Lakeside’s Brent Sexton came home first in B main #2. Chasing the Tennessee native across the line in the final five transfer spots were Danika’Jo Parker of Oakdale, Doug Nunes of Kingsburg, Freemont’s Greg Dennett, and the Placerville duo of Tony Fedota and Tyler Gedes.

Gasper came into the final race of the year with a comfortable 76-point lead over Greco in the championship point standings. His advantage got a further boost when he was off the pole for the 30-lap main event. Del Monte was alongside on the front row. Row two featured Lewis and Greco. Seavey manned the inside of the third row and had Bender alongside. Row four featured Dyer and soon to be first time BCRA champion Albright.

When the race began Gasper was the first to arrive in turn one with Del Monte, Greco, and Lewis in tow. By the end of the fifth lap, Gasper was a half straightaway in front of the competition. Seconds later the first halt in the race, that ended up being plagued by yellow and red flags, took place. Chiaramonte, who was having a tough week, saw his night end when he flipped in turn four. Simultaneously there was a three-car tangle in turn two. All drivers were okay, and the race resumed a few minutes later.

When the race restarted Gasper immediately put some distance on the remainder of the field. The brilliant blue #18 had things fully under control and the championship was in his grasp, but suddenly disaster struck. One of the cars near the back of the pack slid to a stop in turn one bringing out a yellow. Gasper tried to drive around him on the top and stopped for one or two seconds. He quickly got going again and was driving back to his lofty position at the front when officials informed him that he would have to go to the rear for stopping. When Gasper went to the back, that gave a glimmer of hope to Greco’s title aspirations as the former leader was going to have to deal with a lot of cars and chaos at the rear.

Del Monte was the new leader and Greco was second. Seavey, who had moved up to the third-place spot before the yellow, immediately picked up the pace on the restart. Running the wide line, he steered the John Taylor/Bullet Motorsports/Eldorado Landscape/Adco Driveline and Custom Exhaust/Jake Morgan Graphics/Superior Machine Works #51 past Greco for second as they came off turn four on lap ninth. Keeping his momentum up on the quarter-mile red clay oval, he drove by Del Monte for the lead on the same spot on the track one lap later.

Chasing his first BCRA title, Albright moved by Lewis and into the fourth spot on lap 12. Two laps later he lost a battle with the turn four cushion and spun. Like CLS point leader Gasper earlier in the race, he had to go to the back.

Greco, who tied Bender for the most wins in the CLS this year with four, got past Del Monte for second and was doing a good job of staying close to leader Seavey. However, with three laps to go, he had to deal with Bender. Using the outside line, Bender had the #2J flying and became engaged in a fierce battle that included some wheel banging for the second-place spot. That battle eventually went to Bender, but it was too late to catch Seavey who took the checkered flag with an eight-length advantage. Bender placed second for the third straight night, with Greco, Kinney and Lewis rounding out the top five.

Kinney was the race “Hard Charger” finishing fourth after starting 15th.

After the race, Seavey jumped out of his car and began looking under the rear end. “I pushed on the brakes real hard to avoid a crashed car,” the happy winner told the crowd. “I ripped one of my brake mounts off and I could feel it dragging on the ground. I was just hoping we could make it to the end. John (car owner John Taylor) built one of the nicest Lightning Sprints in the world and he called and asked me to drive. Obviously, I was not going to tell him no. It was a really fun weekend and I won two races.”

Gasper’s 76-point lead going into the finale was whittled down to 29-points at the end. Greco ended up second in the final tally and was followed by Turnbull, Dyer and Bender in the top five. The second five in the season ending standings was comprised of Del Monte, “Rockstar Jon Robertson of Torrance, Chino’s Pat Kelley, Aiden Lange of Lakewood and five time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills.

“It was a long season,” Gasper said after getting out of his car. “We never did anything in circles (never raced on oval tracks), so it was a whole learning curve. A lot of people helped us out throughout the year. I cannot thank them enough. Kittle Motorsports, man, I cannot thank them enough. A lot of opportunities they have given to me. Of course, my mom and dad for everything they do. My Dad working in the garage all night getting this thing dialed in. My mom scheduling rooms at hotels and taking up shifts to be able to afford this. If it wasn’t for Rowdy and Dwain Granger having the set up right for qualifying and races, I don’t think I would be up here without them, so I cannot thank them enough.”

“My dad won a couple of car owner championships with me driving,” new BCRA king Albright said after the race. “So, it is an honor to join (to join him as a champion). We had a good run going. Just drove to hard in on the cushion in three and lost fourth. I thought we could have gotten up there a little higher. Congratulations to Logan, A.J. and Eric.”

Federico Gutiérrez to make Rette Jones Racing driving debut in Thanksgiving Classic

By
Official Release
-

MOORESVILLE, N.C.: The 2021 racing season for Rette Jones Racing (RJR) isn’t complete just yet.

The organization will field an entry for Federico Gutiérrez, the younger brother of Rette Jones Racing development driver Max Gutiérrez in Saturday afternoon’s Late Model Thanksgiving Classic at Southern National (N.C.) Motorsports Park (SNMP).

Gutiérrez’s debut in the Pro Late Model event will mark his first experience in a Motorsports sanctioned event in the United States.

The 15-year-old has been successfully building a career in his home country of Mexico, where currently he stands second in the Truck Mexico Series of NASCAR Peak Mexico Series presented by Telcel championship standings with two races remaining the weekend of December 4, 2021.

Gutiérrez will be guided by Rette Jones Racing co-owner and former ARCA championship crew chief Mark Rette.

The Mooresville, N.C.-based team started off the year with monstrous results when Max Gutiérrez scored his first ARCA Menards Series East victory in the season-opening race at New Smyrna (Fla.) Speedway in February.

“I’m very excited but also a little nervous at the same time,” said Federico Gutiérrez. “I am very thankful for this opportunity to compete in a Late Model at Southern National this weekend. This type of racing is very new to me, but I feel like I have taken the necessary steps to prepare myself for a successful racing debut in the USA.”

BOLSADX.Mx, the trusted site in Mexico to buy and sell Crypto will serve as the primary partner of the team’s No. 30 Ford Fusion for the Nov. 27 race.

In addition to BOLSADX.Mx, Distributed Ledger Inc. (DLI), TOUGHBUILT, Jimmy Morales Escuderia TELMEX | TELCEL, TekNekk, Ford Performance, Goodridge Fluid Transfer Systems, Jones Group Demolition and Abatement and JRi Shocks join the team as partners this weekend.

“It is a challenge and I will do my best to get a good result in the United States,” added Gutiérrez. “This weekend would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors.”

Joining Federico Gutiérrez for his first race in the United States will be his brother Max who will serve not only as a mentor for the 125-lap race, but a driving coach.

“It is going to be a proud moment for our family to see Fico racing in the USA,” Max Gutiérrez said. “We haven’t set any goals or expectations for this weekend. If he can make improvements from the start of the race weekend to the checkered flag, it will be a successful race for all of us.

“I look forward to seeing this opportunity be the start of even better things for my younger brother professional racing in the USA in the future.”
For Mark Rette, the opportunity to lead Federico Gutiérrez in his Pro Late Model Series debut is another important chapter for Rette Jones Racing.

“We’re all racers, but this is going to be a weekend full of emotions I think, particularly for the Gutiérrez family,” added Rette. “Fico is determined to get to work and make the most of his Pro Late Model debut at Southern National and I think he’ll be able to showcase his ability with the strong piece we’re bringing him.

“Our hope is that the Gutiérrez brothers will be a part of the Rette Jones Racing family for years to come and I’m optimistic that we go to Southern National and Fico can turn some heads. His biggest cheerleader will be sitting right next to me on the pit box with his brother Max.

“He did a lot for our race team this year, including putting us in Victory Lane. This is our last race of the 2021 season and we’d love to close it out with the same vibe that we started off the year with Max at New Smyrna.”
