ALTON, Va. (10 October 2021) – Steady drives and flawless pit work saw the Stoner Car Care Racing fielded by Automatic Racing team come home in 15th position in Sunday’s marquee race at VIRginia International Raceway, the Virginia is for Racing Lovers Grand Prix for the Michelin Pilot Challenge series.
The No. 09 Stoner Car Care Aston Martin Vantage GT4, driven by Rob Ecklin, Jr. (Lancaster, Pa.) and Ramin Abdolvahabi (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.), performed well throughout the two-hour race, pacing consistent laps. The team gambled on fuel strategy during their second pit stop and looked to be heading toward a top-10 finish until a late yellow meant the entire field was able to finish the race with no additional pit stops.
The team came into the weekend with high expectations, given the sheer number of hours they have spent at VIR this year (between a two-day test back in May and two eight-hour World Racing League enduros last month, the team had 24 hours of track time at the scenic, 3.27-mile road course).
With cloudy skies and cool conditions, Abdolvahabi took the wheel for the 15-minute qualifying session early Sunday morning, with the plan of setting a quick time early in case a red flag thwarted their late laps. That thought proved to be prescient, as Abdolvahabi broke through slow traffic just as a competitor went off track, bringing out the red flag. Starting 14th, he knew that steady early pace would be key to making his way through the field.
With the usual scrum at the green flag, Abdolvahabi stuck to the plan and played it safe in the early going, taking the measure of the drivers around him. Battling traffic, he fell to P18 in the first four laps but he began to regain those positions despite a quick off-and-on on Lap 7.
As drivers began to pit, Abdolvahabi climbed through the field to P10 before a full course caution. The team waited until the fuel light came on to bring him into pit lane for four Michelin tires and a change to Ecklin at the halfway point of the race. With the caution continuing, the team brought Ecklin back to pit lane for a splash of fuel they hoped would take him to the finish.
The strategy appeared to be working perfectly, as teams began to head to pit lane late in the race. But an untimely yellow with 20 minutes remaining meant that the rest of the field would also be set to go to the finish. Ecklin, with a smart and consistent drive, brough the Aston Martin home P15, with a best lap of 1:57.172 on lap 38.
The team was pleased with the performance, hoping that it will mean some of the bad luck they’ve experienced this season is behind them.
“I was stuck behind two Toyotas, and they didn’t give an inch,” said Abdolvahabi. “I was faster than they were, but we lost a lot of time through my entire stint. But the car was really good, we just couldn’t do anything with it. The pit stops were great, it’s just too bad that we couldn’t finish higher. But it’s good to finish, with no bad luck. No luck is better than bad luck, so things are trending in the right direction!”
“The car felt really good,” said Ecklin. “It was so consistent, but the pace didn’t match the feel. Otherwise, it was a good race for us. The car was set up well, the pit stop was good, we had a good strategy, and we went to work. We pushed hard, but I couldn’t get the time out of the car that I thought was there. But there was no drama today, it was just a good, clean race. We can build on that.”
“That was a good day,” said Automatic Racing team manager David Russell. “Everything was very sound, from the pit stops, driver changes, and the strategy call by Kirt Wightman and Chris Long. Ramin and Rob both drove good stints, though Ramin got stuck behind traffic. We were able to leapfrog a lot of cars with the strategy of coming in for fuel and we would have been in really great shape, but that late yellow put an end to that. But we had a strong car, though we were down on the pace we had here in testing, so we’ll have to figure that out. We have a good platform to build on for the finale.”
NBCSN will broadcast a two-hour race recap of the race on Thursday, October 14 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern (check local listings). Next up for the Stoner Car Care Racing Team will be the season-endingFox Factory 120 at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on Friday, November 12.

CHEVROLET RACING IN NATIONAL HOT ROD ASSOCIATION TEXAS NHRA FALLNATIONALS TEXAS MOTORPLEX IN ENNIS, TEXAS OCT. 10, 2021
Anderson drives Chevrolet Camaro SS to NHRA record
• Four-time champion becomes all-time Pro Stock wins leader • Brittany Force sets both ends of Top Fuel track record • Robert Hight rolls to 70th career Funny Car No. 1 qualifier
ENNIS, Texas (Oct. 10, 2021) – Greg Anderson’s 98th National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock victory was 24 years in the making and what seemed like a lifetime in his dreams.
The driver of the HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro SS broke a tie with Warren Johnson to become the winningest driver in NHRA Pro Stock history and second in all professional classes to Chevrolet driver John Force’s incomparable 154 victories by defeating Texas native Chris McGaha in the final of the Texas NHRA FallNationals at Texas Motorplex.
“I couldn’t imagine one win and here we are 98 wins later,” said Anderson, who also tied Johnson for the second-most elimination round wins at 877 among all professional classes. “What a run. I seem to be getting all the accolades right now. It’s not me, it’s this KB Racing team. I’m on top of the world. What a career it’s been. The best part of the whole deal is I don’t think I’m done yet.” Anderson, 60, an integral part of Johnson’s success with GM products in the class as a crew member and crew chief for more than a decade, competed in his first NHRA race in 1998 and picked up his first victory by defeating Jim Yates on April 29, 2001, at Bristol Raceway. Every Anderson win has also been in a GM car.
A HendrickCars.com car also visited the winner’s circle Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway as Kyle Larson won the NASCAR Cup Series race in the No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE.
“Congratulations to Greg Anderson on becoming the winningest driver in NHRA Pro Stock. We are proud that Greg’s 98 victories have all come behind the wheel of a Chevrolet and other products from our company,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. vice president of Motorsports and Performance.
“Greg has done an incredible job on the track and in leading an outstanding team of talented crew members and engineers in preparing his Camaro SS. Greg has also been a great representative for Chevrolet and his team on and off the track. We look forward to the balance of the 2021 season as Greg pursues his fifth Pro Stock world championship.”
A day earlier, for the second time in three events and fifth time in 15 races this season, Chevrolet drivers in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock swept the No. 1 qualifier spots.
Brittany Force earned her 11th Top Fuel top qualifier honor of the season, driving the Monster Energy/Flav-R-Pac Chevrolet dragster to track records of 3.637 seconds at 335.32 mph. The elapsed time is the fifth quickest in NHRA Top Fuel history. Force holds the record of 2.623 seconds, set in 2019 at Reading. Tony Schumacher holds the class single-season record for most No. 1 qualifiers with 13 in 2006.
Force, second in the standings, fell on a holeshot in the semifinals. Teammate Robert Hight, driving the AAA Texas Camaro SS, scored his second No. 1 qualifier of the season and 70th of his career – sixth on the NHRA all-time list — with a run of 3.878 seconds at 331.94 mph. He lost in the quarterfinals. John Force, the No. 11 qualifier, also fell in the quarterfinals in the PEAK Antifreeze & Coolant Camaro SS.
Anderson, the No. 1 Pro Stock qualifier for the 10th time this season and 116th time in his career, extended his NHRA record by qualifying for his 414th consecutive race. The record win came in his 166th final, which includes eight this season.
“People kept asking me, ‘Where are you going to get it done?’ ” said Anderson, who won for the sixth time at Texas Motorplex. “As soon as I stepped out of the car I got a call from Mr. Hendrick – Kyle Larson won today, too, in a Chevrolet – and Jim Campbell, the VP of Chevrolet jumps on the phone excited as can be, so big day for Chevrolet and Hendrick Motorsports. I’m honored to be part of it.”
McGaha, who had reached the semifinals once in the previous 14 races in the Harlow Sammons of Odessa Camaro SS, bounced Aaron Stanfield, a three-time winner this season in the Janac Brothers Camaro SS, in one of the semifinals. Anderson knocked out Troy Coughlin Jr., driving the JEGS.com/Elite Motorsports Camaro SS, in the other.
Anderson increased his points lead to 81 over reigning Pro Stock champion Erica Enders, who fell in the quarterfinals to Stanfield. Both drivers are seeking their fifth NHRA Pro Stock world championship.
Pro Stock competitors have off until Oct. 29-31 at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The John Force Racing trio will aim to gain ground in the standings Oct. 15-17 at the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway in Tennessee. FS1 will telecast eliminations live at 2 p.m. ET Sunday, Oct. 17.
An interview with Pro Stock winner GREG ANDERSON, KB RACING, HENDRICKCARS.COM CHEVROLET CAMARO SS: WHAT’S THIS MEAN TO YOU? “I’m trying to figure it out. It’s been such a big build up and I’ve had such a fantastic race car all year, it was almost impossible for it not to happen. At the same time, there are so many great drivers in this class that are capable, want to and will whip you. It’s been happening so often, so there’s no guarantee that it would happen. Who knows, maybe next year my car won’t be so good. I can’t say I put a lot of extra pressure on myself, but I certainly expected myself to step top the plate and get it done. I would have been disappointed if I didn’t get it done this year. As soon as I stepped out of the car I got a call from Mr. Hendrick – Kyle Larson won today, too, in a Chevrolet – and Jim Campbell, the VP of Chevrolet jumps on the phone excited as can be, so big day for Chevrolet and Hendrick Motorsports. I’m honored to be part of it.”
NINETY-EIGHT. THAT’S A BIG NUMBER. “I didn’t think I’d see one. What a career it’s been. The best part of the whole deal is I don’t think I’m done yet. I’ve had a lot of victories here that have been special. They’ve been career-changing and they’ve been year-changing and championship-clinching. It’s a great place to race; it’s great for Pro Stock cars.“
WHAT ABOUT WARREN JOHNSON? “He taught me a ton. I would not be here without everything he did for me. One life was working for Warren Johnson – I learned a ton of what to do and what not to do – and I applied that to my next life, which is driving a race car and running a race team. People ask me every day, ‘Are you proud of all these wins you’ve had?’ I tell them I’m most proud of the team I’ve assembled. That’s been the story since day one. That’s probably the most important thing in all the years with Warren – you have to surround yourself with good people if you want to succeed. I’ve tried to practice that with this KB Racing team and (owners) Ken and Judy Black. I’m just a fortunate guy. It’s been my dream and what a dream it’s been.”
IS THIS A DOWNPAYMENT ON A FIFTH CHAMPIONSHIP? “It is a great step. We had a great day and now we’re down to two races. It’s not in the books but I like my chances. I feel if I can find a way to win at least one of these races, I’m going to be the world champion this year. Try to win them both, obviously.”
TELL US ABOUT NO. 1. “That was in Bristol in 2001. I’ll remember that until the day I die. I certainly was not expected to win; I didn’t expect to win. We got it done in our black Firebird. It was just a magical day and things just fell our way. Everybody said he’s a flash in the pan, one and done probably and we’ll never see him again. Well, here we are 97 times later.”
BIG POINTS DAY AS WELL. “I come to all these races to win. That’s my goal. The points are secondary. There is no feeling like winning one of these events. That’s what it’s all about for us. We got it done today. It’s kind of cool; they all go together. If I concentrate on winning the race and making history, that gets me the most points and helps in the championship chase. The championship is going to be a battle right down to the end.”
CHEVROLET FROM THE COCKPIT
TOP FUEL:
BRITTANY FORCE, JOHN FORCE RACING, MONSTER ENERGY/FLAV-R-PAC CHEVROLET DRAGSTER (No. 1 qualifier, fell in semifinals, No. 2 in points): “Tough weekend for this Monster Energy/Flav-R-Pac team. We qualified well, we brought home the $15,000 check for going low Friday nights, got the No. 1 qualifier and then got beat in the semis. Overall, we picked up points and we went some rounds but to lose in the semis the way we did is tough. It was a close side-by-side race, but he had me on the tree. So, we’re going to pack up, go to Bristol and recover from this one.”
FUNNY CAR:
JOHN FORCE, JOHN FORCE RACING, PEAK ANTIFREEZE & COOLANT CHEVROLET CAMARO SS (No. 11 qualifier, fell in quarterfinals): “A little bit of a tough weekend out for this PEAK Chevrolet. We had some issues but I’m proud of my guys. Had to bring out the back-up car and they had some long nights and early mornings getting it ready. It ran good for a couple laps but had some bad luck with a cylinder going out in that second round. We’ll get it figured out and be ready for Bristol next week.”
ROBERT HIGHT, JOHN FORCE RACING, AAA TEXAS CHEVROLET CAMARO SS (No. 1 qualifier, fell in quarterfinals): “We had something going there for a while. It’s a good sign for these last three races. This AAA team is just focusing on taking it one run at a time and having some fun along the way. We had put a lot of pressure on ourselves and there’s still pressure, but we need to enjoy ourselves. We know how to race, Jimmy Prock and Chris Cunningham, they know what they’re doing.”

DANVILLE, VA (9 Oct. 2021) – Gilbert Korthoff Motorsports’ third foray into IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship competition resulted in an 11th -place finish in Saturday’s Michelin GT Challenge at Virginia International Raceway.
Guy Cosmo and Mike Skeen co-drove the No. 32 Mercedes-AMG GT3 in the GT Daytona class, covering all but one of the 85 laps in the two-hour, 40-minute contest.
“For our first weekend with this revamped team, I think we learned a lot,” Cosmo said. “We just didn’t have the pace this weekend. So we took a little bit of a ‘Hail Mary’ with the strategy to see if it could get us anything, but ultimately, we finished where we would have, anyway.”
Cosmo started eighth and settled into 10th position in the early laps. He pitted at the 47-minute mark, with Skeen taking over in 13th position.
“The opening stint was real exciting,” Cosmo said. “The track was still damp in a number of sections, so racing side by side was challenging. I got into a groove early on. It was the same issue that we’ve been battling this weekend, we just didn’t have quite enough front end to make the car turn as much as we needed to, but we were doing alright. A couple of guys got a run on me, as we were slipping and sliding coming down into 17, heading into Turn 1.
“When somebody gets alongside, you’ve got to leave them room, but then you’re off-line and on the damp part of the track,” said Cosmo. “Losing a position is one thing, but you also lose time because you had to slow up. We did what we could; we just didn’t have enough grip. When we got Skeen in the car, we were hoping he could let it rip, but he was facing the same thing.”
The race had its lone caution at the 1:15 mark. While most of the GTD competitors took to pit lane for service, Gilbert Korthoff Motorsports opted to stay out, moving Skeen up to second in the class. When the race resumed with 1:14 remaining, Skeen ran second before making his final pit stop. Skeen returned to the event in 13th, gaining two positions in the closing laps.
“We knew going into the race that we weren’t starting up front, so we had to make it up somewhere,” Skeen said. “We had a decent pace at the start of each stint. Once the yellow fell, it was a matter of seeing where we fell on the fuel. We made a guess, but came up a little shorter than we wanted to. Still, it was a decent, clean result, and the car came home in one piece.”
Cosmo qualified 10th in Friday’s opening session, running 1:44.790-seconds. Since the team is not running for the championship, Skeen ran two easy laps in the second session that awards GTD points, opting not to post a competitive lap.
Only one race remains on the 2021 WeatherTech Championship season, the Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on Saturday, Nov. 13.
McClure Continues Competitive Season of Progress in No. 10 Main Street Homes/TPC Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in Second Visit this Year to VIR
DANVILLE, Virginia (October 10, 2021) – TPC Racing continued a competitive season of progress this weekend with team driver Vernon McClure who secured a pair of sixth-place finishes in the No. 10 Main Street Homes/TPC Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in a Saturday and Sunday IMSA Porsche Carrera Cup North America doubleheader at VIRginia International Raceway.
McClure stayed in touch with the Pro-Am class leaders in both races and dodged some of the off-course and contact incidents that sidelined more than one competitor in the weekend’s pair of 45-minutes races.
The Carrera Cup weekend was the second visit to VIR by McClure and TPC this year, which is the closest track on the IMSA schedule to both McClure’s home in Chesterfield, Virginia and the TPC Racing shop in Jessup, Maryland. McClure challenged for a podium position in the Porsche Sprint Challenge weekend at VIR back in June and won the “Apex’n Award” for passing the most cars on track during in the weekend’s second race.
Following a sixth-place finish in Saturday’s race after starting ninth, McClure pulled of some more key passes in Sunday’s second and final Carrera Cup sprint. Starting sixth, McClure picked up two positions at the start to move to fourth place on the first lap.
“I started sixth in Pro-Am and moved up a couple positions overall right at the start, but I still ended up sixth again in the race,” McClure said. “I’m a little disappointed, I had a great start, was fourth and I thought ‘I can do this,’ but braking in turns one through three a few laps later, I lost a position or two. It’s so hard. That was so much work, it’s crazy how you sweat it out on these, but it’s a blast.”
Shaking off the incident, McClure reset his focus and went to work on racing back into the top five until the finish.
“I caught fifth place at the end and we were separated by a tenth,” McClure said. “I should have taken one more chance, I almost got him in turns nine and 10, but it was good racing and we were clean. I made it to the end, and it’s amazing how much it takes out of you. It’s a work out. Everyone asks you if it’s fun, but fun is probably not the word. It makes you grow. You get out there and you’re anxious and wound up and you just have to go at it for 45 minutes in an almost a 3,000 pound car. It’s pretty cool, actually.”
McClure was the only TPC Racing entry this weekend but confidently carried the team flag after a successful test at VIR recently.
“It was a great weekend for Vernon,” said Harris Levitas, TPC Director of Race Operations. “Last week we were here testing, and a huge thank you to Billy Johnson who is also our TPC Racing and DSC Sport development driver for our products that we sell to the street car market. Our engineering staff worked hard with Billy for a full day and a half to help us get the car sorted. We’ve not had the time necessary to truly develop this chassis, and we found that last weekend and got a grasp on it. We have a fast car now, and Vernon is getting more and more comfortable in the car, which is truly important. We’re just going to keep making progress through an upcoming test and the season-ending race at Road Atlanta. We’re making great progress, our TPC Racing team worked hard all weekend and delivered a fast car right out of the trailer.”
Next up for TPC Racing is the season-ending tripleheader on Petit Le Mans weekend at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, November 10 – 12. The packed schedule features a pair of races Thursday, November 11 that set the stage for the next day’s final race of the year.

Rob Ferriol and Katherine Legge Co-Drove to Top 10 Finish in IMSA WeatherTech Competition on Saturday
DANVILLE, Virginia (October 10, 2021) – Team Hardpoint scored a win, three additional podium finishes and a hard-fought top 10 during the Michelin GT Challenge weekend at the team’s home track of VIRginia International Raceway (VIR).
With the team shop based at the track, Team Hardpoint was rewarded with a Pro-Am class win and a second place from Efrin Castro in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America doubleheader, a runner-up and a third-place finish for Riley Dickinson in the Pro class, and a top-10 for team owner Rob Ferriol and Katherine Legge in the top-level IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship on Saturday.
Castro drove his No. 65 Fine Fare Supermarkets/GoDominicanRepublic.com Porsche 911 GT3 Cup to a second-place finish during Saturday’s 40-minute race, but upped his pace on Sunday. Starting second, Castro charged to the class lead at the race start and led for the opening 33 minutes before falling to second. Still hanging with the lead pace, Castro moved back to the lead on the final lap around a spinning car and earned his fourth win in 13 races this season.
“This race is probably the most satisfying race that I’ve won, because I won it by strictly giving it all I had,” Castro said. “I fought from the beginning to the end. I was actually fighting other guys who were not in my class, but we’re here to race and I just kept pushing and gave it my all. I want to give a big shout out to Team Hardpoint and the guys on the team, I’m surrounded by great guys that are pushing me and giving me the positive energy that I needed to fight this war today.”
Dickinson was locked in a battle both days with Pro Class championship leader Seb Priaulx. During Saturday’s race, Dickinson’s No. 53 Porsche Austin/Team Hardpoint Porsche 911 GT3 Cup ran nose-to-tail and side-by-side with the point leader for the race distance after starting fourth in a battle for the final two podium positions. The scenario repeated itself on Sunday, this time for the race win, with Dickinson ultimately claiming the silver medal. The strong weekend moved Dickinson to fourth in the season long point race with just a tripleheader at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta left on the calendar.
“It’s so close right now between really us four at the front,” Dickinson said. “It’s a matter of who is going to make the first mistake, and it goes all the way back to qualifying. Overall, it was an unbelievable weekend, we got really great results for the team and for me personally as well. It’s another thing that we can build off of. Going into Road Atlanta we’ve really got some confidence, we just need to go in there and put it all together and get a nice qualifying. We can put ourselves in a position to finish the season off strong. The Porsche Austin 992 was on rails this weekend. There’s not much you can do when everyone is running the exact same lap times. It’s a testament to how competitive the series is right now. The Porsche Carrera Cup North America is by far the most competitive in my opinion. It was a great weekend for us, and a great weekend for Team Hardpoint.”
Ferriol and Legge persevered for a 10th place finish on Saturday afternoon in the No. 88 Richard Mille/GridRival Porsche 911 GT3 R. Ferriol started the two-hour, 40-minute race 11th in the GTD class, fell back early and worked his way back to 10th for the team’s first pit stop at the 50-minute mark.
Legge took the wheel at that stop, running 13th after the first round of stops cycled through and picking up a position at the first full course caution 25 minutes later. The team made a strategy stop under that long yellow with 1:16 to go, adding a fresh set of Michelin tires and filling with fuel. Legge had worked as high as seventh as various strategies played out, and dove to pit lane for a splash of fuel with 46 minutes to go in order to get to the end.
The Team Hardpoint Porsche cycled further down the order as fuel strategies played out, but Legge fought back to 10th place at the checkered flag.
With only Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta remaining, Legge sits ninth in the season-long point championship and Ferriol 10th. Ferriol leads the Bob Akin Award point race, open to FIA Bronze-rated drivers who compete in the GTD class.
Both the IMSA WeatherTech Championship and the Porsche Carrera Cup return to action at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta for the Petit Le Mans event, November 11 to 13. Both championships conclude their season at that event, with the Carrera Cup tripleheader and the 10-hour Petit Le Mans race for the WeatherTech Championship.

Money 4 Vehicle, a junk car removal company has announced an instant cash offer ranging to $5,000 for old, used, and junk cars. The company is currently operating in New Jersey, New York, and Florida. The company is based out of 977 S. Elmora Ave., Elizabeth, NJ 07202. The company focuses on removing junk cars from the homes of individuals and finding value in those old vehicles. Junk car businesses can be found anywhere these days and one of the reasons why there are so many junk car businesses lying around could be partly due to the tendency of most buyers to take cash while getting rid of the junk cars that they own.
By selling junk cars, the car owner is gaining a two-fold benefit. The first one is that they get to rid themselves of the junk car that is taking up precious space inside their garage. The second benefit is that it helps them get assured cash for those cars. This is the reason why so many people are opting for selling older vehicles rather than keeping them in a corner. A car is a very important thing to us and once we buy it, most individuals develop an instant emotional connection with the car. This is one of the reasons why so many used cars are lying in so many houses and apartments, with the cars just rotting away, gathering dust and dirt at the corner of the garage, without providing any form of real value to their owners.
Money 4 Vehicle claims that a priority mission for them is to get the maximum value from whatever car they get. It is their strength, the management claim, to find value in every car irrespective of the condition it is in, or the model or company that it belongs to. The management also goes on to further claim that the entire process of selling the car is as straightforward as it can be. Customers can simply search up the internet to look for junk car removal services near them, and once they arrive on the Money 4 Vehicle website, all they need to do is to book an evaluation or give their car details over to the website and a staff member would call them back to know more about the car and schedule an evaluation.
The evaluation process is also pretty transparent as per the company, with their experts taking in every little detail of the car and then putting the price on the car’s head. Once the price has been agreed upon, the paperwork and other documentation are taken care of. The company also provides free pickup and towing, which the company states are something that they have tried to implement to make the process as convenient for their customers as possible. The company also handles all the relevant paperwork and in any condition, the car is in, it is usually taken in by the company. This $5,000 maximum offer for junk cars has been introduced by Money 4 Vehicle’s management to incentivize more and more car owners to come forward and sell their cars off at the right price, as per the company.
Home automation came into our lives and drastically changed the way we used to do a lot of common things. Linear actuators make this smart trend possible in different aspects. This both plain and effective mechanism has been extensively used in many industries helping to automate the production and let people obtain more results quicker.
Returning to the topic of home automation, we understand that certain types of actuators have been incorporated into furniture units, doors, windsor, cabinets, desks, and other common home objects to give people an opportunity to enjoy easy control without effort even if the homeowner is not at home. While you can find many diverse types of actuators, small actuators are the most demanded for domestic purposes. For example, 12 linear actuators are specially designed for homes as they do not disturb due to their silent operation and are compatible with regard to their small size.
What should you know about linear actuators before choosing the one for home automation?
Why is it necessary to be aware of these technical specifications if you can simply visit any related shop and buy a small actuator? The point is that a great number of homeowners prefer to perform DIY home automation projects without any assistance. They are interested in the quality of the result and try to do everything on their own, learning all the nuances in the process.
Such models as a 12V linear actuator are popular enough that if you need additional parts for it, you will find them available everywhere. Contemporary options for home installation are even better supplied, offering homeowners the ability to manage the system remotely. Moreover, if you have forgotten to do something, you will be informed about it. You can just set the alarm if you need.
Integrating these quiet, low-voltage actuators into window treatments lets homeowners synchronize shade movement with room lighting to save energy and improve comfort. Many homeowners now choose local light control solutions that pair motorized roller shades, solar screens, or blackout draperies with programmable lighting scenes so shades lower automatically as lights dim, reducing heat gain and glare. When designed with zoned control and occupancy sensors, these systems operate silently and can be scheduled or triggered by routine events. Such coordination supports both comfort and measurable energy savings throughout the home.
The manufacturing of different actuator types continues to grow to meet even the most elaborate requirements of the customers. Below is the list of important features everyone should be aware of when dealing with actuators for home purposes.
Increasingly commonplace in today’s world of smart homes and other electronically interconnected gadgets are alarms. This is due to the fact that they can be operated remotely via an app or voice commands, making them more user-friendly than traditional alarm systems that need human input. For a seamless transition to this modern convenience, consider a professional Home Security Installation to ensure your system is set up for optimal performance and ease of use.
Height of stroke
This information will help us to figure out how far the actuator can travel in the same direction. It is critical to know the height of the stroke to be confident when selecting between a ball-and-screw unit and a tape drive. The common length of a ball screw is 1000 mm or you can find even fewer dimensions. If you need larger sizes they are also possible to find today.
Speed
It is one more essential factor for eligible choices. Many customers are interested in high-speed actuators as they are robust and time-proof. Besides, they usually run in the quietest way possible due to their special structure inside. To apply an actuator with the high speed you do not need high voltage and beyond that, you will not have any troubles with its integration into the working control set.
You will ask, “how should I know the one is determined as a high-speed actuator?” There are not any standards that say it belongs to this very type. The following grouping would be influenced in the main by these factors:
Speed of in and out drive;
The kind of actuator;
The driving device;
Gearing;
Load force.
The level of accuracy
This factor generally includes several more important aspects:
Understanding where exactly the carriage is found inside while moving;
The actual distance between the actuator and finish point after reaching;
Estimation of how closely the actuator reaches the same point each time.
The last factor is often taken into account above all to determine the accuracy in the most precise manner.
Mounting
To select the appropriate actuator for home automation, you should know exactly the direction your actuator will be mounted. Two widespread types of screwdrivers are eligible for aclinic and inclined mounting positioning, but installations that can be only vertically oriented need additional estimation.

As the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season winds down with only five races remaining to determine the champion, the upcoming race at Charlotte Motor Speedway is pivotal.
At the conclusion of the Bank of America ROVAL 400, the playoff field will be cut from 12 drivers to eight.
NASCAR fans are some of the most passionate sports enthusiasts and often enjoy playing the odds to predict the winners. Casino sites such as https://justspincasino.net/ are also a favorite outlet for those who enjoy the thrill of honing their gaming and betting skills.
The most recent winners include Ryan Blaney who won the inaugural playoff race at the Charlotte ROVAL, his first Cup Series road course win and Chase Elliott who won back to back in 2019 and 2020.
As we head into the weekend, let’s take a look at how the playoff drivers stack up as they prepare to hit the 2.28-mile track in Concord, NC Sunday at 2 p.m. ET. on NBC.
Notable:
Kyle Larson:
Larson has been to victory lane six times this year and is second in the standings with the second-best driver rating of 110.1 at the ROVAL. He has run 39 of the fastest laps, second to Elliott. Larson does, however, have the season-to-date best overall driver rating of 110.0.
Joey Logano:
Logano, third in the standings, has one top-five and three top-10s at the Charlotte road course with a seventh-best driver rating of 98.1. His third-place finish at Talladega gives him a cushion of 21 points heading into this weekend’s race.
Brad Keselowski:
Keselowski finished second at Talladega, moving him up to fourth in the post-season standings. He has not won at the Charlotte ROVAL and has only one top-five and one top-10.
Denny Hamlin:
Hamlin is already locked into the next round after his win in the opening race of the playoffs at Darlington Raceway. This will take the pressure off at the Charlotte ROVAL where he has a 19th best driver rating of 69.4.
Chase Elliott:
Elliott has two wins this season and is currently ranked seventh in the playoff standings but he heads to Charlotte with the series-best driver rating of 124.5 at the road course. His stats include two wins, two top-fives and three top 10s with the series-best 49 fastest laps run.
Kyle Busch:
Busch is currently tied with Elliott in the standings as they occupy the last two spots, in seventh and eighth place. While Elliott has had success at Charlotte, Busch’s average finish is 33 and he has a 15th best driver rating of 78.8.
William Byron:
Byron was caught up in a multi-car accident at Talladega that left him in 11th place in the standings with a 44-point deficit. Although he has two top-10s and one pole at the Charlotte road course with the third-best driver rating, he will need a win to advance to the next round of the playoffs.
Alex Bowman:
Bowman was also involved in a crash at Talladega after contact from Ricky Stenhouse Jr. He is 52 points below the elimination line and he, along with his teammate Bowman, are in a must-win situation.
On an overcast and partly sunny, windy day, the Texas Motorplex hosted the annual FallNationals, the 17th race of the 2021 NHRA season. This means there are only four races to go in the Countdown to the Championship.
Ron Capps, Justin Ashley, Greg Anderson and Matt Smith all brought home a Wally today following four rounds of eliminations.
Funny Car
Ron Capps entered Texas Motorplex seeking his first at-track victory since 1998. As usual, the weekend starts with qualifying and following the four rounds, Capps entered Sunday in the No. 2 spot just one behind rival competitor, Robert Hight. In addition to qualifying second, Capps gained four additional bonus points.
In Round 1, Capps powered to a time of 3.898 seconds and 324.75 mph over No. 15 qualifier Jack Wyatt. For the quarterfinals, the NAPA Auto Parts driver won over Paul Lee for his seventh quarterfinal victory of the season. From there, he met Cruz Pedregon in the semi-final after Pedregon won over Terry Haddock, the all-time Funny Car wins list leader John Force in Round 2.
In the semi-finals, Capps met Pedregon, but Capps fired off first and got and got the semi-final victory where he would meet his Don Schumacher Racing teammate Matt Hagan.
Hagan qualified fourth and had a first-round match up with Dale Creasy Jr. Hagan was victorious going 3.910 seconds and 330.15 mph to face Bob Tasca III in the quarterfinal. Hagan eliminated Tasca III going 3.918 seconds and 325.43 mph to advance to the semis. It was in the semis where he met J.R. Todd, but Todd smoked the tires allowing Hagan to get away with the victory setting up a final round between Hagan and Capps.
Once the Christmas tree went green in the finals, the two Don Schumacher Racing cars were side-by-side all the way down the track, but the victory ultimately went to Capps who scorec his 68th career Funny Car victory.
“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made the mistake over the years of counting out, first of all, John Force, at anything,” said Capps, a 27-year nitro veteran who finished as the ‘bridesmaid’ four times before finally capturing the 2016 series title. “Everyone’s been bit by that. He always seems to find a way to climb his way back in. We have Force and J.R. (Todd) and Cruz breathing down our necks. Tim Wilkerson, Robert Hight and I were talking, and we’ve been through this championship fight many times, but it’s never been this tight top-to-bottom. Anybody can win on any given Sunday, so it was good to gain a little bit on Hagan this weekend.
“Hagan, and (crew chief) Dickie (Venables), those are my teammates and you don’t wish ill on anyone out here but I’m certain when I was leading the points a few times this year, they were hoping I would smoke the tires or we would lose early because you want to gain ground. So, I was hoping (Bob) Tasca would do the dirty work second round when they had Hagan, and then I thought J.R. had a good chance because they had a good running car, but Hagan and Dickie, they just kept surviving.”

Hagan fell just short of his fourth win of the season and earned his third runner-up of the year.
“There’s a backside of a good drag race, and obviously it fell on my shoulders,” Hagan said. “Capps won on two holeshots today and obviously he was on it. We’ve got a great team and that would have been a big swing in the points direction for us (with a win) but it’s always coming down to the last deal. We’ve just got to keep digging and working hard. We’ve got a great Western Tech Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat; it’s responding well and it’s going to be a dog fight. It always is.”

Justin Ashley had zero wins so far this season despite being in the Countdown. However, he was looking to change that Sunday afternoon after having two runner-ups, the first at Reading and the other at Pomona I.
Ashley qualified in the fourth spot with a time of 3.687 seconds at 329.58 mph and would face No. 13 Keith Murt in the first round Sunday morning. Ashley eliminated Murt going 3.748 seconds and 319.29 mph to advance to the second round where he met Texas native Billy Torrence.
Torrence was one spot underneath Ashley in qualifying as the elder Torrence qualified fifth after Saturday. In the quarterfinal, Ashley was successful in winning over Torrence but not by much. Ashley won on a holeshot and met No. 1 qualifier, Brittany Force, in the semi-finals.
Force had a fast car all weekend and her Friday night time of 3.637 seconds and 335.32 mph was fast enough to keep her at the top spot for Sunday. Unfortunately for Force, the California native fell to Ashley in the semis as Ashley went 3.740 seconds and 325.30 mph compared to Brittany’s 3.727 seconds and 332.84 mph to meet another Texas native and fan-favorite, Steve Torrence, in the finals.
Steve Torrence qualified second and had victories over Buddy Hull in Round 1, Doug Kalitta in the second round and Josh Hart in the semis.
When the CAPCO dragster entered the pre-stage, the team was still checking the tire pressure as they were set to face Ashley.
After the two dragsters left the finish line, the win light came on Ashley’s lane as Ashley went 3.759 seconds and 326.40 mph to win his first race of the season by .005 seconds.
“I think when you win a race like this the key to victory is the team effort and the fact that everybody did their job,” said Ashley, the 2020 NHRA Rookie of the Year. “Today was a complete team effort. I did my job behind the wheel. Crew Chief Mike Green did an awesome job tuning this race car all weekend. It felt like a bracket car. The key to the win was this group of guys and the leadership of (team owner) Dustin Davis and Mike. They work incredibly hard. They definitely deserve this win.”

For Torrence, the Kilgore, Texas native, the second-place finish was his second of the season and 24th of his career.
“Everybody’s been calling this a two-car race,” Torrence said, “but I guess they forgot to tell Justin. We’ve still got three races to run and there are a lot of points still out there. Having said that, I feel really good going forward. When you’ve won one race, been runner-up in another and had two semifinal finishes (in the first four Countdown events), that shows the talent of this team and these Capco Boys.”

Pro Stock
It was a historic day in the Pro Stock category, as Greg Anderson finally broke the all-time wins list record held by Warren Johnson with 97 career victories. Anderson originally tied the record back last month at Reading winning over Erica Enders.
The Hendrick Cars driver was No. 1 for the 116th time of his career after Saturday posting a time of 6.553 seconds and 209.23 mph to face No. 16 of Marty Robertson. Anderson won over Robertson going 6.621 seconds and 205.94 mph to face Matt Hartford in the quarterfinal. Anderson won over Hartford going 6.680 seconds and 205.72 mph to face JEGS driver Troy Coughlin Jr. in the semis.
Coughlin Jr. won over Kyle Koretsky in Round 1 and Roger Brogdon to meet Anderson in the semis. Anderson won once more eliminating Coughlin Jr., posting a time of 6.666 seconds and 205.51 mph to face Chris McGaha in the finals.
Chris McGaha, the Odessa, Texas native. had quite an interesting day at his home track. Chris met his son Mason in a first-round match-up, but the victory went to the father, Chris, after he went 6.658 seconds and 206.45 mph to meet Dallas Glenn in the second. Chris won with a time of 6.688 seconds and 206.04 mph to advance to the semis where he eliminated Factory Stock Showdown driver Aaron Stanfield.
As McGaha and Anderson met in the finals, McGaha went red as he fouled by leaving -.014 seconds too soon, ultimately giving the historic victory to Anderson.
“I couldn’t have imagined one win, but here we are, 98 later,” said an elated Anderson at the top end of the racetrack after emerging from his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro. With the win, Anderson also moved up to a prestigious position for wins across all Professional NHRA categories. His 98 trophies are second only to Funny Car icon John Force, who has 154.
“What a run. I seem to get all the glory, but it’s not me, it’s this KB Racing team, it’s our wonderful team owners Ken and Judy Black, it’s Rick Hendrick and HendrickCars.com, it’s Summit Racing Equipment. I never thought this day would come, but the Good Lord was looking out for me. To my wife, Kim, ‘Honey, tonight I’m coming home with our 98th trophy.'”

Heck of a day for our Harlow Sammons Racing team! We made it all the way to the final and I left too soon. Our car is peaking at the right time and we’ll ride this momentum for however long it lasts. #FallNats#ProStockpic.twitter.com/Xu66J3Brn9
Despite racing 278 times in his Pro Stock Motorcycle career, Matt Smith had not yet won at the Texas Motorplex to add to the 30 other victories of his illustrious career. However, though being strong earlier in the season, he’s lost in the first round at Indy to Ryan Oehler, finished as runner-up at Reading and had a quarterfinal finish at Charlotte to Eddie Krawiec.
As Matt Smith was somewhat cooling off, Steve Johnson was heating up. Johnson took over the championship points lead after Indy and began stretching that lead entering the Texas Fall Nationals.
Following qualifying, Johnson was once again fastest with a time of 6.756 seconds and 198.44 mph to gain the seventh No. 1 qualifier of his career, whereas Smith was second going 6.772 seconds and 200.83 mph.
Johnson had a first-round match with No. 16 qualifier Jianna Salinas. Johnson won with a time of 6.840 seconds and 195.62 mph to face Scotty Pollacheck in the quarterfinal. As for Matt, the DENSO driver had a solo run and easily advanced and was slated to meet Chris Bostick.
The two were once again winning as Johnson eliminated Pollacheck and Bostick.
When Johnson reached the pre-stage line in the semis to face Hector Arana Jr., Johnson’s bike, unfortunately, quit during the burnout process. As a result, Arana Jr. received a solo run to advance to the finals.
As for Smith, he had an interesting semi-final where he met his wife. Angie. But it was Matt who won and went on to meet Arana Jr. in the finals.
Similar to the Pro Stock finals, another red light came on in the race, but the red light was for Arana Jr. and the win went to Matt Smith who picked up his fifth win of the 2021 season.
“It was a great weekend for this Denso team,” said Smith, who also set the track speed record this weekend. “We were pretty flawless all weekend and we were low every round. We’ve got a pretty awesome team. Since 2005, I’ve always wanted to win this race and never got it done, and I’m just glad to get it done. We’ve had the best bike all year. Steve has definitely stepped his program up and we’re going to go head-to-head with him the rest of the year, and hopefully, we can pull this out and get a fifth championship. That’s the goal and we’re going to do everything we can to try and do it.”
Arana Jr.’s runner-up finish was the 13th of his career and his first start since Indianapolis.
What a weekend! We had a fast and consistent bike all weekend long. Made it all the way to the final. Left on the wrong side of the tree and took myself out of the race ! Til next time….#FallNats#TeamAranaRacingpic.twitter.com/H0fYPObe9h
Kyle Busch, No. 18 M&M’S Toyota Camry Race Recap for the Bank of America Roval 400
Date: Oct. 10, 2021 Event: Bank of America Roval 400 (Round 32 of 36) Series: NASCAR Cup Series Location: Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway Roval (2.28-mile, 17-turn road course) Format: 109 laps, broken into three stages (25 laps/25 laps/59 laps) Start/Finish: 9th/4th (Running, completed 109 of 109 laps) Point Standing: 5th (4,023 points, advances to Round of 8) Race Winner: Kyle Larson of Hendrick Motorsports (Chevrolet) Stage 1 Winner: Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports (Chevrolet) Stage 2 Winner: Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing (Toyota)
Stage 1 Recap (Laps 1-25):
● Kyle Busch started ninth and finished seventh, earning four bonus points.
● After Busch reported that his racecar lacked rear grip, the team elected to make a trip to pit road for chassis and air pressure adjustments and four fresh tires on lap nine. The competition caution waved one lap later with Busch in 19th place.
● Because the M&M’S team had stopped right before the caution, Busch lined up 11th for the restart on lap 13.
● The second caution was displayed for an accident on lap 19 with Busch in seventh place. A handful of teams, including the No. 18, elected to make a trip to pit road for service. It was another round of chassis and air pressure adjustments, four tires and fuel for Busch.
● Green-flag racing resumed on lap 22 with Busch in 13th place. He was able to race his way to seventh by the time Stage 1 concluded.
● Busch reported at the end of the stage that he still needed help with rear grip. Teams that had not pitted prior to the end of the stage came to pit road, which placed the No. 18 Toyota in second place to start Stage 2.
Stage 2 Recap (Laps 26-50):
● Busch started second and finished first, earning 10 bonus points and one playoff point.
● Green-flag racing resumed, and Busch made a bid for the lead during the opening lap of Stage 2, taking over first place.
● Caution waved for a single-car accident on lap 33. The No. 18 team elected to stay out during the caution, maintaining the top spot.
● Green-flag racing resumed on lap 35 with Busch in the lead.
● The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion quietly logged laps for the rest of the stage, cruising to lap 50 and scoring the stage win.
● During the caution the team made another round of chassis and air pressure adjustments, changed four tires and added fuel. Busch won the race off pit road, but because a number of teams had made green-flag pit stops prior to the conclusion of Stage 2, the No. 18 lined up 20th to start the final stage.
Final Stage Recap (Laps 51-109):
● Busch started 20th and finished fourth.
● A couple of cautions slowed the opening laps of the final stage. The Las Vegas native quietly logged laps and was up to 16th place when green-flag pit stops started taking place on lap 74.
● The No. 18 M&M’S team made a trip to pit road for service for four tires and fuel on lap 75.
● Busch was up to 13th place when caution was displayed for debris on lap 86. He reported that the No. 18 car still lacked grip at various points on the road course. Anticipating a series of cautions to end the race, the team elected to only change four tires and add fuel during the caution.
● Green-flag racing resumed on lap 89 with Busch in 13th place, and he was up to 10th by lap 91.
● Busch had raced his way to eighth place when caution waved for a single-car accident in turn one on lap 99.
● Green-flag racing resumed on lap 101, and Busch was able to make the most of the restart, moving from eighth up to fifth by the time the field came around to complete lap 102. He picked up one more position to finish the day in fourth place and advance to the Round of 8 in the 10-race playoffs.
Notes:

● Busch led one time for a total of 21 laps.
Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’S Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing:
“Overall, it was a good day for the M&M’S Camry. We came here with a plan, and we tried to execute it as best we could. I would say we were just OK. I wouldn’t call us stellar. We did lead that stage and get a point there, so that was good, but we’re moving on and have some tracks that have been good for us. We have won at both Texas and Kansas within the last year, so I feel like that’s a good omen for us. The mile-and-a-half programs have been really strong for us. We should have a pretty good starting spot next week, and we just have to keep ourselves up front. Just looking forward to next week.”
Next Up:
The next event on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule is the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 on Sunday, Oct. 17, at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. It is the seventh race of the 10-race playoffs and the first race in the Round of 8. It starts at 2 p.m. EDT with live coverage provided by NBC and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
