TQ Midget race cars will headline all the programs with high speed excitement competing on speedways set up on the concrete floors of three arenas. Slingshots and Champ Karts will complete the tripleheader programs.

The dates for the 2022 Indoor Auto Racing Series opener are Friday and Saturday, January 7-8, 2022 inside Allentown, PA’ s PPL Center, January 28-29 in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall with the series finale in Syracuse, NY on March 11 & 12.

Tickets are also available at the arena box offices during operating hours. Tickets for the season finale in Syracuse, NY will be on sale shortly.

“We expect that competitor interest in the TQ Midget, Champ Kart and Slingshot classes will be at an all-time high since we haven’t raced at all in over a year,” Series organizer Len Sammons noted.

“For that reason, we are strongly advising race teams to enter as soon as possible to avoid being shut out. Entries are limited at both Allentown and Syracuse because of space constraints in those two buildings,” Sammons reminded.

In Allentown, the TQ Midgets, Slingshots and Champ Karts will all compete both days with Friday featuring semi-feature events leading up to Saturday’s feature events. The Champ Karts and Slingshots will race for a top prize of $1,000 on Saturday night, with TQ Midget winner taking home $3,000.

On Friday night, drivers will be racing towards a spot in Saturday night’s main events in Allentown, as well as bonus money for fast time and semi-feature race winners. The series is actively seeking sponsors to get involved to increase the rewards for racers on Friday night.

The biggest Indoor Auto Racing Series PPL Center TQ Midget race winner is Ryan Flores of Mooresville, N.C. The former New Jersey resident who changes tires for Roger Penske’s NASCAR Cup series team, will be seeking his fifth victory at the PPL Center in January.

However, a long list of drivers will be looking to keep Flores out of victory lane including 2020 Series Champion and back-to-back Atlantic City Indoor Race winner Andy Jankowiak.

In Allentown, Erick Rudolph of Ransomville, N.Y. is the only other repeat winner. Justin Bonsignore and Scott Kreutter of New York and local driver Matt Janisch of nearby Nazareth, PA each have one victory.

The Allentown schedule calls for doors opening at 6:00PM with racing getting underway at 7:30 PM on Friday. On Saturday, doors open and Fan Fest begins at 5 PM with racing starting at 7:00PM sharp.

Racing at the annual NAPA Know How Weekend will again include triple 20 qualifiers for the headline TQ Midgets on Friday night followed the 40 lap Gambler’s Classic on Saturday. The wild and crazy Slingshots and darty Champ Karts will make up the tripleheader programs.

A closed-to-the-public practice night will again be held on Thursday evening January 27.

The 2022 series finale will again be in Syracuse at the Expo Center located on the grounds of the New York State Fairgrounds on Friday and Saturday, March 11-12, 2022.

“It was great to hear from so many dedicated racers and fans who so dearly missed last winter’s Indoor Racing Series because of the Covid restrictions that forced their cancelation,” said Sammons.

“The events have become much more than just a race, but a gathering of friends who share the same love of the sport and great competition, and from all those we’ve heard from, each are eager to get to winter Indoor Auto Racing.”

Series information including links for purchasing tickets, hotel rooms and racer entry forms are available on the series website: www.indoorautoracing.com.

The state-of-the-art facility was shuttered in November, 1996 after just 25 years of operation. The flat dirt track was constructed on the grounds of the one-mile Penn National Race Course where horse racing was featured. The speedway was designed and built by Reading Fairgrounds promoter Lindy Vicari.

9 Essential Tools In A NASCAR Pit Box

Mechanics of a pit crew changing the slicks of a race car during a pitstop

Behind every NASCAR driver’s victory is a talented and hardworking pit crew. And, behind every pit crew’s success is a complete set of tools. To ensure that every NASCAR racer could compete, the pit crew sees that their gear, tools, and equipment are always ready for a pit stop, generally ranging from five to 16 seconds.  

If you’re dreaming of being a pit crew member, you may want to be familiar with the essential tools used in tire replacement, refueling, and other processes. For that purpose, here’s an article to guide you. So, read on! 

What Is A NASCAR Pit Box 

A NASCAR pit box is an outbox with a cluster of computers and electronics. Generally, it monitors the car’s conditions and performance. It’s typically aided by flat-screen monitors that provide the physical info about the vehicle. In addition, it also assists in checking the track conditions, as well as the weather. 

In addition, it has a wheel-and-axle assembly area where the crew could practice changing tires using an air compressor, and tightening nuts and bolts. Furthermore, it stores a generator as a backup power source. Apart from these, pit boxes provide different and equally essential tools, including: 

  1. Air Compressor 

Air compressors are primarily used in replacing tires. They typically use nitrogen instead of typical air. Nitrogen-based compressors release a more forceful air supply because of nitrogen’s consistency. Because of this, the compressor’s operator should be able to handle a sudden burst of force whenever they open the compressor. 

If you’re getting used to operating an air compressor, you may start with the compressors with 10-15 CFM (cubic feet per minute) ratings. If you’ve mastered this type, you may try using compressors with a 50 CFM rating—these apply to extensive tools, including air guns. 

  1. Air Gun 

Air guns, otherwise known as impact wrenches, are the primary tools in removing or tightening lug nuts. These tools, together with an efficient air compressor, enable a quick and masterly tire replacement. Effective air guns could change all four tires within 18 seconds. 

In choosing an air gun for pit boxes, you may need to consider using a ½-inch type as it’s lightweight. Because of this, you’ll be able to loosen and tighten nuts without hassle. Apart from the size, you may also consider air guns with hard-wearing qualities. As a crew, you may also know how to rebuild the wrenches as it’s one of the requirements for them to be functional for a long time. 

  1. Pump Jack 

Pit crews slide pump jacks for immediate tire replacement. These jacks lift the car’s frames at once because of their single-pump function. In choosing a pump jack, you may need to see its ease of use and ensure that it’s lightweight. In addition, the pumps should have high-quality hydraulics for simple leveraging, ideal for two-tire changing. 

  1. Piano Bars 

These are long and durable bars used to lift and stabilize a damaged car. These are preferred in situations when jackmen couldn’t install a jack to raise the vehicle. Yet, the entire crew may be needed to place the piano bars underneath the car as these tools are heavy. However, they have fixed parts, so there’s no danger of slipping or going down abruptly, which is possible in jacks. 

  1. Extension Poles 

Extension poles have a vast array of uses. They could signal drivers where to turn or stop for pit maintenance. This way, they allow the car and its crew to have a quick check and maintenance. In addition, extension poles also allow cleaning the car roofs and other exterior parts without coming closer to the car. Furthermore, the poles may even come from behind the walls. 

  1. Fuel Cans 

Every pit crew has assigned gas men responsible for refilling fuel into the car’s tank to get the car back on track with improved fuel mileage and efficiency. This is very crucial as fuel strategy should be well-planned to have quick and spill-free refueling. A puncture-free and durable fuel can is necessary for this to happen. It should have a long snout for precise refilling. It should also have a smaller can for catching the spills and overflows. 

  1. Vise Grip 

An incredible set of vise grips is always helpful in removing nuts that may have worn and torn their threads over time. The different sizes are ideal for various nut sizes. In addition, you could adjust these tools to be more fit for a vast range of sizes, nuts, and bolts.  

  1. Mallets, Hammers, Baseball Bats, And Saws 

These unusual tools are vital in doing abrupt bodyworks. Since NASCAR cars couldn’t go for an auto mechanic to restore their damaged exterior, the pit crew uses mallets, hammers, and bats to flatten the creases and dents uniquely. On the other hand, the saws are used in cutting protruding parts that could be dangerous during driving. 

  1. Duct Tapes And Adhesive Sheets 

Duct tapes are used to connect wires and panels to where they should be. Since cars don’t have the luxury of detailed fixing, duct tapes allow the adjustment of the body panels, fenders, and other exterior parts. In addition, they’re also used to redirect or change the airflow to the different grille parts. 

Adhesive sheets, on the other hand, are used for bigger body repairs. While duct tape is preferred in minor repairs and underneath applications, the adhesive sheets are ideal for fastening large panels, such as the parts in the hood, sides, and fenders. 

Wrapping Up 

NASCAR tools are generally grouped into repair, refueling, and tire replacement types. What’s noteworthy about them is that they’re different compared to their counterparts in auto mechanic shops. In many cases, they’re influenced by DIY car maintenance rather than professional works. Yet, they could provide more than their expected uses.  

To carry efficient and speedy repairs and tire replacement, the pit crew should have these essentials in their pit box. The unit assigned to the outpost may also have accurate monitoring and updates to anticipate the type of repairs they’d apply. 

For best repairs and other pit crew actions, you may consider using the insights you’ve gained from this article. While they may be still incomplete, they could help identify the tools you may need to be familiar with and practice should you want to be a pit crew member.

5 Must-Dos for the Perfect Travel Experience in New Jersey

Photo by Manisha Raghunath on Unsplash

Are you preparing for a trip to New Jersey? Besides Liberty State Park, Atlantic City, and other popular tourist attractions, you may be wondering if there are other ways to experience the state. You crave a more immersive experience, one that allows you to take on a more intimate lens of life in New Jersey.  

You may have also heard that the traffic in New Jersey can be confusing to navigate. New Jerseyans take their roads seriously—they often refer to where they live relative to the nearest exit on the Turnpike—and nothing frustrates them more than being caught up by the unversed.

Instead of worrying about staying in the right lane and navigating jughandles, you can engage a company like Jersey Car and Limo to take get you around in style. Whether you are traveling with your partner, friends, or family, take a backseat and focus instead on how you can experience New Jersey in the most authentic way possible. 

On top of your list of attractions to check out, here are five to-dos to add for a true travel experience in New Jersey: 

Eat at a Jersey Diner

Jeet yet? In South Jersey, this expression refers to “did you eat yet?”. Food is culturally symbolic of any travel destination—even more so for New Jersey, which is known as the diner capital with the highest concentration of diners in America. Much like any other country or state, the best diner is contentious amongst its locals. 

Nonetheless, eating at any diner will offer you an authentic Jersey experience as New Jerseyans love their diners. Some must-try dishes include a “Taylor Ham” (North Jersey) or “pork roll” (South Jersey) that is sliced grilled meat in a sandwich, disco fries (i.e., French fries topped with gravy and cheese), bagels, and pizzas. 

Make a Wawa Run

A trip to the nearest convenience store in your state or country may be one of the small joys you enjoy in your daily life. Why would it be different while traveling? Take a trip down to New Jersey’s local convenience store and gas station Wawa. It is the state’s beloved all-in-one spot where New Jerseyans pick up freshly brewed coffee and meals and fill up their gas tanks. Did you know that it is illegal for New Jerseyans to fill their gas tanks themselves? 

Stop by a Wawa any time of the day as the locals do. Wawa has a wide range of beans and condiments for an all-day perk-me-up. Alas, don’t miss out on their signature built-to-order hoagie – an Italian sandwich filled with meats, cheese, and other toppings. 

Watch a Sports Match

There’s no better way to experience the vibrant sports culture of New Jersey than by catching a live match. As of September 2021, New Jersey became the first US state to hit the $1 billion mark in sports betting with a total of $1.01 billion. 

New Jersey is home to major league ice hockey and soccer. Some famous teams include ice hockey New Jersey Devils, who play their home games at the Prudential Center in Newark, and soccer juggernauts New York Jets and New York Giants at the Met Life Stadium. Revel in the excitement of high-spirited matches amongst the locals, which will make for an unforgettable highlight of your trip. 

Pick Jersey-Grown Produce

New Jersey is commonly referred to as the Garden State, producing many of its produce. The most popular fruits and vegetables include tomatoes, corn, blueberries, and strawberries. Head to a u-pick farm during the spring and summer, and get your hands on the freshest produce. New Jerseyans enjoy picking their produce as a family activity, making for a suitable family-friendly activity if you are traveling with children. 

The type of produce you can get depends on the harvest season and farms, so be sure to check out what’s in season. You may also need to make bookings in advance. Otherwise, check out the local farms and pop-up stands where you can purchase the produce directly. Besides eating at the diners, whipping up a meal with your hand-picked produce can also be a fun and meaningful way to spend your time in New Jersey. Even a simple dessert of yogurt and berries counts! 

Take a Hike

New Jersey is an urbanized metropolis known for its historical sites and beaches; what’s less known is the scenic nature landscape it has to offer. Spend some time in New Jersey’s nature to immerse in its natural beauty. 

Locals themselves often take to the outdoors during their leisure – time in nature can help relieve stress – and it’s free. Consider Buttermilk Falls if you are up North. As part of the Delaware Water Gap, it is the highest waterfall in the state. You can easily access the Falls via car by driving to the parking lot opposite it. Be rest assured that the stairs leading up to the Falls have handrails for support. Even if you don’t fancy a hike, the view from the parking lot is still worth catching.

What Happens When You Damage A Luxury Rental Car?

Miami, Florida, USA-February 19, 2016: Supercar Lamborghini Aventador orange color parked next to Ocean drive at South bech at Miami, Florida. Lamborghini is famous expensive automobile brand car

Luxury car rentals have been the go-to option for people who want to experience lavish lifestyles for a moment. Generally, these sleek, high-end cars are rented for promenades, weddings, and similar celebrations. Beyond brand and reputation, customers choose luxury cars for their convenience and premium features, which make the ride more enjoyable.  

But before you rent an exotic car, you may want to know about your responsibilities and accountabilities. This way, you know what you may need to take care of and what to do in case of emergencies and unforeseen circumstances that can cause damage to the car. To help you, here’s a guide you may follow.  

  1. Contact The Luxury Car Rental Company And Return The Car

Suppose you damage a rented Bentley or Rolls-Royce from SD Exotic Rentals or other luxury car rental provider. In that case, you need to bring the car back to the company as soon as possible. You may need to declare the damages caused by the accident as well. 

If you fail to return the car, you may need to seek assistance or contact the authorities. If you forgot to save the rental company’s contact details, try locating them on the dashboard or in the keys. Then they could assess the damage to determine the costs and repairs required. 

It’s always good to look for Lamborghini rental options that allow some flexibility in return times or provide roadside assistance for unexpected situations. Choosing providers with clear policies and responsive customer support can make resolving delays or mechanical issues far less stressful.

  1. Damage Assessment 

You could manually check the dents, creases, and other car issues when dealing with the damage. In some cases, damage may worsen during transport, so you may need to check the smallest details carefully. This is why you need to take photos immediately after the accident to ensure proper documentation.  

In many cases, rented cars are inspected upon return. The rental company would assess the tires, windshield, fenders, seats, and car exterior parts. If damages are found, the company generally categorizes the type of damage to determine the amount to pay for it. 

In checking the car for damage, the following are generally observed: 

  • The tires must not have worn 1/16th of their tread 
  • Scratches and dents may be paid for depending on length and depth 
  • If dents exceed 1 inch, you may pay for repainting or dent removal process 
  • For severe damages, the company uses existing running prices of the replacement and exterior parts to be restored 
  • If the car is beyond repair, full coverage or payment will be asked
  • In replacing parts, follow the rental company’s prescription
  1. Settlement Of Payments And Repairs  

Depending on the terms and conditions of the car rental company, you have the option to replace worn tires or answer for necessary minor repairs. This way, you could save money. But for far more severe damages and total vehicular overhaul, you may need a seasoned auto mechanic for the job. 

  1. Communicate With All Parties

You may need to coordinate with the authorities and the car rental company to speed up the process. Regular correspondence could ease up the process and retrieval of evidence. If another car is involved, you need to keep the driver or owner’s complete details so you can still talk and settle claims after the accident. 

If it’s a single-car collision or no other vehicles are involved, you may just wait for everything to be processed and all the damages to be assessed. Once you know the exact costs, you could tap your insurance company or pay for the expenses on your own. 

Final Thoughts  

Who wouldn’t want to drive an Audi, Ferrari, or any British-made exotic car? But any renter should keep in mind to drive safely at all times to avoid accidents. Apart from this article, you may also keep in mind the terms and conditions set by the car rental company. Try your best to be familiar with them and ride safely as always.  

To avoid damages, you must apply your defensive driving skills if you’re the one maneuvering the car. If you paid for a chauffeur, you might need to ensure that they drive safely and efficiently.

Your personal insurance company could help you deal with the financial concerns of the accident and damaged car. However, the costs could be more expensive than your typical car rental damage due to the prices of the parts.  

 Also, you have to be mindful that your insurance provider may or may not cover the damage at all since an accident in a car rental may not be within their scope of protection. Above all, start with retuning the car first, and everything will follow.

Apps, Automotives, and You

Photo by Rami Al-zayat on Unsplash

In today’s day and age, the phones in your pockets have become just as integral and intertwined with your daily life as your vehicles. With the various app stores and markets expanding, so too does the interconnectivity between automobiles and mobile phones, and finding what’s best for you could be like finding a needle in a haystack.  Whether it’s between simply optimizing your route to work or making money with auto-sports, there is an app out there, paid or free, that can and will improve your everyday life.

Navigational Apps

When it comes to road trips, simple directions, or even optimizing your daily routes to work, look no further than navigational apps. Almost every phone nowadays has a built-in GPS app, but they lack additional features that many more in-depth apps out there have as mainstays. One of the features of non-default apps includes live traffic monitoring. These apps will take in user-inputted data, and general traveling speeds to determine the amount of traffic on a given road and recalculate accordingly, in turn, saving you time on basically any route. Another big feature is offline GPS. Typically, network connectivity isn’t a problem most people would run into, but if you find yourself in another country, or in bad weather, losing your directions could be detrimental. Certain navigational apps will give the ability to prepare offline GPS routes as a safe backup, just in case.

Betting Apps

Saving time with travel can instead be used to make money. Individuals who maintain a fine balance of opportunity costs with potential gains often find financial success. Fortunately, in the sea of auto apps, the opportunity for some extra cash comes in the form of 20bet. 20Bet, simply put, is a mobile app for iOS that is safe, secure, and efficient for any player looking to make money via bets. Within the convenience of your phone, you can enjoy a rock-solid experience from betting or gambling in your free time. Using your expansive knowledge of Nascar or Formula 1, for example, you can apply that knowledge to make quick cash on the fly as easily and fast as ever.

Maintenance Apps

Coinciding with making money with bets, you can also save money with maintenance apps. The average annual cost of car ownership is nothing to simply write off and getting any sort of edge you can in diagnosing and repairing your vehicle is well worth the time. Maintenance apps include the ability to scan engine codes, connect with your car’s Bluetooth and electrics, and even search symptoms based on your car’s make and model to diagnose car-related problems. Unfortunately, these apps can’t physically repair your car but can offer the steps and procedures to either let you solve it on your own, or let you know the best information to give to your mechanic to ease the overall process of repair.

Auto-Trading Apps

Another unique form of vehicle-centric apps is the apps that allow you to buy, sell, swap, or trade vehicles. These types of apps allow features such as comparing costs between dealerships for any given model or make of vehicle, as well as calculators to help calculate the monthly costs of loans and payments. These apps also extend to trading and swapping, either through dealerships or through vouch-based secondhand sellers. Reminder, if you are dealing with secondhand owners be sure to build trust between yourself and the seller, and to make sure the product listed is exactly what the seller has described in the ad. Typically the apps will have rating systems, and other protections in place to avoid the rare case of scams that take place. Equally, these apps are also good for getting a vehicle you wish to sell out there for as many eyes to see as possible, thus making the process of selling much quicker for yourself, and potential buyers.

Quality of Life Apps

Lastly, there exist many ‘miscellaneous’ apps that are difficult to fit into a category but provide conveniences related to you and your vehicle. One of these conveniences includes on-the-fly parking. These apps specialize in finding the best place to park given the circumstances provided. Whether you’re in an unfamiliar town or a big event is happening locally, these types of apps can and will find parking locations based on availability and pricing. Speaking on pricing, another quality-of-life app relates to comparing gas prices. At a glance, you can contrast and compare the price of gasoline of all nearby stations and find the most cost-effective option. The savings here can be minimal at first, but over months and years, the amount of savings will be substantial.

Conclusion

Bridging the line between your vehicles and mobile phones has never been easier. Nowadays, most cars already offer wireless connectivity between the two, but with the help of apps, you can take it to the next level. As mentioned before finding the best app for you can be difficult but hopefully, after reading this, you can easily identify what’s best for you and apply that knowledge. With innovation comes opportunity, and using all resources available to you can only lead to a better life.

F1 Betting Tips for Thrill Seekers

Photo by CHUTTERSNAP on Unsplash

The F1 is one of the most exciting sporting events in the world, watched by millions of petrol heads of motor racing fans. As far as motorsports go, it’s widely considered the pinnacle, and it’s hotly contested each year as the best drivers in the world go head-to-head. For a lot of fans, simply watching the races provides enough entertainment, but if you’re looking for an even greater thrill, you can bet on the events.

Betting on F1 is simple enough, as there are plenty of betting sites available that offer odds for the races. Most betting sites provide different markets that allow you to bet on how wins the race, as well as the podium drivers and top ten finishes. You can also place championship bets, predicting which driver you think will win the championship, as well as betting on the constructor’s champion for the season.

Before you get started on betting, it’s important to remember to bet responsibly. Never bet more than you can afford to lose, and always remember that betting should be about fun rather than making money. Here are some more F1 betting tips for you to help you get an edge.

Finding Good Betting Sites

Betting sites, also known as online sportsbooks, offer the easiest way to place your bets. There are lots of sites out there, and they allow you to sign up, make a deposit, and place bets on whichever sport you like, including the F1. Before you make a choice, you’ll want to look at some sportsbook reviews so you can be sure you’re signing up to a reputable site. Reviews such as the Parimatch casino review provide insight into what the sportsbook has to offer and whether it’s worth signing up to. A good review will explain the markets available as well as betting features and bonuses.

Do Your Research

The key to having fun with F1 betting is to properly research the event before placing the bet. As with any motorsport, there are certain aspects that can be predicted. Some drivers will always have an advantage in certain conditions or on certain tracks. There are also favourites and underdogs for each race, with different odds depending on the probability. Your research should cover everything, from past performances to current form, and you shouldn’t overlook anything that might affect the result of the race. By researching, not only will you have a better chance of placing winning bets, but you’ll also have more fun.

Make the Most of Bonuses

Most sportsbooks will offer free bets and other promotions, especially to brand new players. If it’s your first time signing up, you should be able to claim a free bet that you can use on the F1. Free bets are usually very simple to use, allowing you to bet without risk. Free bets do come with terms and conditions, so make sure you read and understand these before using them. However, when used correctly, they can be an excellent way of getting more value out of your bets.

Pick Your Races

While betting is a lot of fun, you don’t need to bet on every race. There are twenty-three races during the F1 season, which gives you plenty of chances to have some fun with betting. It’s tempting to place bets on every event, but doing this can just mean you lose more money in the long run. If you want to be successful, you should do careful research and choose your bets very carefully. Try to stick to bets that offer good value, where the odds don’t line up with what you feel is the true probability. 

Jacob Borst emerges on top of competitive rookie class to capture 2021 South Boston Speedway Late Model Rookie of Year crown

SOUTH BOSTON, Va. (Nov. 22, 2021) — In the most competitive rookie class to compete in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series Late Model Stock Car Division at South Boston Speedway in many seasons teenager Jacob Borst emerged at the top of the class and captured the division’s 2021 Rookie of the Year Award.

The young Elon, North Carolina resident scored his first career win in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series Late Model Stock Car Division, won two pole awards for the fastest qualifier, logged a dozen Top-Five finishes, finished in the Top 10 in 14 of his 17 starts and finished as the runner-up to track champion Peyton Sellers in the final division point standings.

He did all of that while competing against fellow rookies Landon Pembelton, who also captured a win and logged eight Top-Five finishes in 12 starts, Camden Gullie and Carter Langley. Gullie finished third in the final division point standings, Pembelton finished fifth despite not competing at South Boston Speedway for the full season and Langley finished sixth in the final division tally.

“It’s a big honor, and it feels really good to be the top rookie,” Borst said. “Competing at one of the most well-known short tracks on the east coast and being a rookie in Late Model, it’s a good reward. Winning Rookie of the Year is something everybody wants to do as a rookie, and you get only one chance to do it.”

Borst had no idea when the 2021 season began that he would emerge as South Boston Speedway’s top rookie.

“Coming in, I knew it would be hard to do it, but I also knew we could do it,” Borst remarked. “I knew there would be a bunch of good rookies here. We had Carter Langley, Camden Gullie, and Landon Pembelton and myself competing for it. All of us are coming up at about the same time, and we’re all just as good as each other and we all have very good equipment. It’s all been about where we could put ourselves, track position and luck.”

Heading into the 2021 season Borst knew he and his team could do well but didn’t think his results would be as good as they were.

“Our goal this year was to get a couple of top-three finishes and keep the car in one piece,” Borst explained. “To come into South Boston Speedway and do this well we achieved over our goal. We’re all really proud of that and are looking forward to next season.”

Borst moved up to the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series Late Model Stock Car Division after a successful 2019 season in which he finished third in the South Boston Speedway Limited Sportsman Division points chase with three wins and five poles. With most tracks, including South Boston Speedway, being idle in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Borst got his real start in Late Model Stock Car Division competition in 2021.

While Borst had a successful rookie season, the 2021 season was a big learning season.

“In 2019 I was in the Limited Sportsman Division and was racing against Danny Willis Jr. for wins and poles,” Borst pointed out. “I learned a lot from racing him that season, and that has helped me a lot this year. I came into this season with a little bit of experience, but you can learn a lot in just one race racing against Peyton Sellers and all the experienced guys in the Late Model Stock Car Division. They will do something to you, and you learn how to do that, and you use that. You learn how to get around here a lot better, learn all the little tricks. You learn a lot and you hope one day you will be as good as they are.”

Winning races is a goal of every driver. Borst was fortunate enough to earn a victory in his first season of competition in the highly competitive NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series Late Model Stock Car Division.

“We were looking to win, but we knew it would be really hard,” Borst said. “We didn’t know if we would be able to get a win this season. The thing is every single driver is so good, all of our equipment is about the same and it’s about whoever has the best luck.

“Luck went our way,” he added. “When we won that one race everything played out in our favor. That win gave us a bunch of confidence that we could win a race going into the rest of the season.”

One of the things that makes Borst’s accomplishments during the 2021 season special is that his small family-owned race team grew in confidence and ability with each race.

“We’re just a small team,” Borst noted. “We work in our back yard. We’re fortunate to be able to come out here and have fun. We worked really hard and tried our best. We gained more ground each race, learned more, and gained more experience with the car. As the year went on, we got better and better. It’s a lot more rewarding when you win, and you have a small team compared to some of the other guys.”

Motul Confirmed Lubricant Partner for AMG Performance Team, Craft-Bamboo Racing at 68th Macau Grand Prix

– Motul 300V to be used as engine oil for #95 Mercedes-AMG GT3
– Darryl O’Young to race for Craft-Bamboo Racing in the 68th Macau Grand Prix

Singapore, Nov 18, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – One of the most anticipated events of the year on the Asian motorsport calendar is all set to kick-off this weekend in Macau. The 68th Macau Grand Prix will be held from 19 to 21 November 2021 at the world renowned Guia Circuit. Motul will be the official Lubricant Partner of Craft-Bamboo Racing for the Macau GT Cup. The Hong Kong team will have multiple-time winner Darryl O’Young at the helms of their #95 Mercedes-AMG GT3 as he prepares to take part in his 17th Macau Grand Prix.

Craft-Bamboo Racing is an official Performance Team of Mercedes-AMG. Team Director and Race Driver Darryl O’Young is a seasoned and experienced racer at the Guia Circuit, having taken the top step of the podium here no less than 5 times. O’Young is expecting a challenging race, having last raced at the 2020 Macau Grand Prix, and coming straight out of quarantine for this year’s event. Although it will be difficult, he will be relying on his extensive knowledge of the track to have a good race weekend despite the limited time on track.

Fortunately, he will have an extra boost of power all thanks to his Mercedes-AMG GT3 being filled with the Motul 300V. The car will use the Motul 300V Competition 0W-40 for its AMG 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine and Motul Gear Competition 75W-140 for the 6-speed racing transmission. These products will play an important role to keep O’Young’s car performing at the optimum level over this tightly packed race weekend. Being the Lubricant Sponsor, O’Young’s car will also feature the iconic Motul red as it zips through the super narrow and challenging Guia Circuit.

Motul has always been committed to bringing its customers the highest quality of products. One of the ways they achieve this is by working closely with racing teams and drivers to understand how their products perform under extreme stress and duress experienced over the course of such races. The products are analyzed and tested in Motul laboratories after the race to understand accurately the aftermath of the performance. These learnings are then translated into improvements for everyday customers using Motul products for their cars. Motul lubricants have proven excellent compatibility with the AMG engines to not only provide superior performance but also improved reliability.

When it comes to racing in Asia, there are few events that boast the level of excitement and passion that the Macau Grand Prix brings every year. The 2021 Macau GT Cup will feature 19 of the best racing talents from Hong Kong, China and Macau racing in GT3 cars from 6 different manufacturers and O’Young will be hoping to put his Motul-powered Mercedes-AMG at the front of the grid. It is gearing up to be an exciting race weekend for drivers and racing fans alike. Catch the exciting race action this weekend (schedule below) and make sure to follow Motul social channels for regular live updates.

QUOTES

Darryl O’Young | Driver, #95 Craft-Bamboo Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3

“I’m really excited to have Motul as our lubricant partner for the Macau Grand Prix. Firstly, it’s great to have such an iconic brand on our car design, but most importantly is to have the extra performance and reliability that Motul is known to deliver with their 300V oil product in our Mercedes-AMG GT3 V8 engine. In racing we look for every advantage we can get, and lubricant is a great place to find those valuable tenths of a second to help improve our lap time. I’m really looking forward to the race this year, it’s going to be exciting.”

Carlo Savoca | Chief Marketing Officer, Motul Asia Pacific

“The Macau GP is one of the biggest racing events in Asia, if not the world. This year, I am super excited to have Motul as the Lubricant Partner with an official Mercedes-AMG Performance Team Craft-Bamboo Racing. I am also very proud to have such a reputable and successful team use only Motul lubricants in their AMG GT3 for the Macau GT Cup. I am confident that this will be a winning combination and our 300V will bring home a win for AMG and Motul fans. It is an incredible opportunity to be a part of this event and I thank Craft-Bamboo Racing for working with us. I am looking forward to seeing Darryl O’Young race through the streets of Macau in the red Motul liveried AMG and I wish him and his team all the best for the race!”
