Primary Partner(s): G-Coin
Manufacturer: Chevrolet Camaro
Crew Chief: Joe Williams
Sparks 300 Starting Position: 40th (Event Formula)
Driver Points Position: 31st | Owner Points Position: 37th

Notes of Interest:

Welcome Back: This weekend at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, SS GreenLight Racing, and Joe Graf Jr. welcome back G-Coin as the primary partner of the team’s No. 07 Chevrolet Camaro for Saturday afternoon’s Sparks 300 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

Talladega marks the ninth race of a multi-race deal where G-Coin, a product that brings gold into the digital age, making it accessible and giving it true utility will be the primary partner.

About G-Coin: Unlike cryptocurrencies, G-Coin is a digital title to a real asset: 1 G-Coin token equals 1 gram of Responsible GoldTM.

G-Coin combines the best qualities of traditional gold – stability, security, value, confidence, and social status – with the benefits of digital innovation, allowing users to easily save, send, and spend gold.

Tech-savvy investors keen to avoid cryptocurrency volatility, or physical storage burden and costs, are now able to purchase G-Coin digital gold tokens. G-Coin tokens can be purchased in increments of 0.01gram, giving individual investors better access to the gold market and the ability to use gold for day-to-day purchases.

G-Coin Wallets give users the freedom to send and receive value instantly, securely, and at no cost from the convenience of your mobile phone.

G-Coin Tip of the Week: A G-Coin token is a digital title of ownership to one gram of a Responsible Gold kilobar stored in a licensed vault.

Holders can redeem the tokens for physical gold on demand*. G-Coin tokens can be sent, spent, gifted or purchased as an investment through the G-Coin wallet.

Same Day Settlements With MoneyGram: G-Coin customers with Tier 3 access can use cash to buy or sell G-Coin tokens at participating MoneyGram locations.

To place a buy or sell order using cash, Tier 3 customers need to select the ‘MoneyGram’ option from ‘Pay With’ that appears on the buy | sell screen. Once the order is placed, customers will receive an email with detailed instructions to follow at participating MoneyGram locations.

For buy orders, customers will have 24 hours to make the payment in cash, which is when the balance on the G-Coin wallet is updated. Buy orders expire after 24 hours so customers will need to place a new order after that time.

For sell orders, customers are responsible for collecting the proceeds of the sale in cash at participating MoneyGram locations. The G-Coin balance will be updated when the sell order has been placed, which is irreversible.

New Sponsor Announcement: SS GreenLight Racing and Joe Graf Jr. will soon introduce a new marketing partner in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for two of the final six races of the 2021 season.

The new sponsor is also new to NASCAR and the Xfinity Series scene.

In Loving Memory: This weekend at Talladega and for the remainder of the 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, Joe Graf Jr. and SS GreenLight Racing will carry the name of Bray Pemberton on the passenger side name rail of the team’s No. 07 Chevrolet Camaro.

Pemberton passed away on September 8, 2021, after a brief illness.

Pemberton was an instrumental figure in the everyday business and growth of Graf’s motorsports career. He will be deeply missed by all.

Saving You Some Money: As fall has officially fallen, Joe Graf Jr.’s other marketing partner Z Grills still wants to help the NASCAR community save money – but also enjoy the perfect fall barbecue dinner.

With the holidays on the horizon, Z Grills Racing (ZGrillsRacing.com) is offering a 10 percent discount off your TOTAL purchase, using the code NASCAR at checkout.

Joe Graf Jr. Xfinity Series Talladega Superspeedway Starts: Joe Graf Jr. will make his fourth NASCAR Xfinity Series start at the 2.66-mile superspeedway on Saturday and looks to improve on his 33rd place finish from April’s Ag-Pro 300 where the SS GreenLight Racing experienced a mechanical failure in the rain-shortened event.

Joe Graf Jr. Xfinity Series Career Superspeedway Nuggets: In nine career NASCAR Xfinity Series Superspeedway races, has completed 606 of the 858 laps available. He holds an average starting position of 21.6 and an average result of 28.1 with a best finish of 11th at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway in February 2021.

Joe Graf Jr. ARCA Menards Series Career Superspeedway Nuggets: In three career ARCA superspeedway track races, Graf Jr. has two top-10 finishes. He has been running at the finish of all three races. He holds an average starting position of 15.3 and an average result of 11th with three (3) laps led.

In 2018, Graf Jr. was involved in the closest finish in ARCA Menards Series history at Talladega Superspeedway in a photo finish.

The margin was so narrow in the 69-year history of the series, it was a statistical dead heat, the margin of victory on the computerized scoring monitors showing 0.00 seconds. Only a video replay and the photo finish camera were able to determine Graf finished second by a matter of millimeters.

Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway | Alsco Uniforms 302 Race Recap: In the most recent NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway, Graf’s return in Sin City was short lived.

After starting 21st in his No. 07 Bucked Up Energy Chevrolet, Graf Jr. maintained his top-20 pace at the 1.5-mile speedway but was one of nearly a dozen victims in a Lap 30 restart incident.

The crash knocked Graf and the SS GreenLight Racing team out of the race with a frustrating 40th place finish.

Put Me In Coach: To strengthen his physique, Joe Graf Jr. began working with new trainer and former NASCAR Cup Series Josh Wise during the 2020 offseason.

In addition to Wise, Graf has also been working with former NASCAR driver and open-wheel driver Scott Speed on being more discipline behind the wheel of his No. 07 Bucked Up Energy Chevrolet Camaro.

Sneaker Mania: Along with the adrenaline of the Motorsports competition, Joe Graf Jr. also has a vogue for hype sneakers. In his current collection, he owns and wears at least 85 limited edition sneakers – and his collection continues to grow every month.

The current estimated value of his collection tops $90,000.

From the Pit Box: Industry veteran Joe Williams is Joe Graf Jr.’s crew chief.

He will crew chief his 60th NASCAR Xfinity Series race as crew chief on Saturday afternoon and his fourth at the 2.66-mile superspeedway.

In his previous 59 NASCAR Xfinity Series starts, he has collected four top-five and 14 top-10 finishes.

Hello From The Other Side: Graf Jr. has a teammate at SS GreenLight Racing. Veteran Garrett Smithley will drive the No. 17 Chevrolet Camaro on Saturday afternoon for his third start of the 2021 season.

Smithley, 29, is set to make his 140th career NASCAR Xfinity Series start and sixth at Talladega. His best Xfinity track finished occurred in the 2018 Sparks Energy 300, where he finished 10th after starting 34th for JD Motorsports with Gary Keller.

Joe Graf Jr. Pre-Race Quotes:

On Talladega: “I’m looking forward to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend being a little bit of a revival for our SS GreenLight Racing team. We have had incredibly fast speedway cars this season and other than Daytona, we haven’t been able to showcase that for circumstances beyond our control.

“I’m still a little upset that an opportunity to have another good finish at Las Vegas last weekend was robbed from us because we were swept into an accident that happened way too early in the race. Redemption is definitely on my mind Saturday afternoon.”

On Approaching Homestretch: “We have a little over a month left in the 2021 schedule. Our season has not gone the way we planned, but it has not been from a lack of effort, just a variety of circumstances – most beyond our control.

“I really look forward to the rest of the tracks on the schedule the rest of the year and we’re already focused on 2022 and cannot wait to announce those plans soon.”

TYLER REDDICK QUOTE:
We know Talladega Superspeedway is a crapshoot. What is your confidence level heading into this weekend?
“I’m excited for Sunday at Talladega. Our Realtree Chevrolet Camaro will be hunting for the win for sure. Andy Petree and the folks at RCR have reminded me that we may be out of the Playoffs, but we are still racing for points. As much as I want to say that I’m going to race hard from the green flag and just have fun, I don’t know if that is the best thing to do for our Realtree team. On top of that too, if we get involved in a crash early and finish 40th, I really don’t want to start at the back of the field for the Roval next week. I feel like the rate that we have been improving on road courses and the amount of effort that is going into that race, we need to get everything we can at Talladega to start 13th ahead of all the other drivers not in the Playoffs. It kind of puts us in an interesting spot for this weekend. It’s a hard conversation that Randall (Burnett) and I have had and we are prepared for Sunday’s race. Ideally, we would get up front quickly, earn stage points, and it will take care of itself. The hardest part of superspeedway racing is balancing the want to race hard from the green flag versus being around at the end. No matter what our No. 8 team wants to make sure our Realtree Timber camo is up front at the checkered flag.”

GMS Racing Tabs Grant Enfinger To Drive The No. 23 Champion Power Equipment Silverado Full-Time In 2022 and 2023

Statesville, NC (Oct. 1, 2021) – GMS Racing is proud to re-welcome Grant Enfinger to its NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) line-up in 2022. The 2019 Regular Season Champion will pilot the team’s iconic No. 23 Chevrolet Silverado full-time in 2022 and 2023.

Enfinger, who has six NCWTS wins in his career, will be rejoining forces with a team that has strong ties to the driver from Fairhope, Ala. Over the years, the driver and team pairing have made a lot of history on track in multiple series.

The Series veteran delivered GMS Racing the team’s first win in the ARCA Menards Series at Berlin Raceway in 2014, and the duo went on to win the ARCA Menards Series championship in 2015. In 2016, driving the GMS Racing No. 24 Chevrolet Silverado, Enfinger earned his first career NCWTS win at Talladega Superspeedway.

“It’s an honor to be coming back to GMS Racing, the place where I was able to jump start my career in NASCAR. Together GMS Racing and I saw a tremendous amount of success – winning races and championships – and I’m ready to pick up where we left off,” said Grant.

Joining Enfinger on the move to GMS Racing will be longtime supporter, Champion Power Equipment, who will serve as primary sponsor of the No. 23 Silverado for the majority of the next two seasons. Champion Power Equipment has played an integral role in Grant’s career, with a relationship that dates back to 2015.

“Champion Power Equipment started our motorsports journey with GMS Racing in 2014, joining forces with Grant’s program at GMS Racing in 2015, and we have never looked back,” said Dennis Trine of Champion Power Equipment. “Year-after-year we are seeing the value that a partnership with not only Grant, but in NASCAR, brings to our company. Our consumers are outdoor enthusiast and we are able to connect with them directly at NASCAR race tracks, allowing us to see measurable growth through the life of the partnership. We look forward to continuing that growth with Grant and the GMS Racing team over the next two seasons.”

The No. 23 GMS Racing team looks to contend for race wins and make a bid for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship with the energy from the strong partnership with Grant Enfinger and Champion Power Equipment. All parties share a common goal in building a program driven by success.

“It’s so great to know where I’m going to be for the next couple of years, as I’m used to finding out around January each season,” continued Enfinger. “To have this deal signed this early ahead of the season is huge for me personally and career-wise, and I can’t wait to get started!”

Codie Rohrbaugh ready to continue superspeedway success at Talladega Superspeedway

By
Official Release
-

TALLADEGA, Ala.: For the first time since Knoxville Raceway in July, Codie Rohrbaugh returns to the driving duties of the No. 9 Grant County Mulch Chevrolet Silverado for Saturday afternoon’s Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

Rohrbaugh returns to the seat of his family-owned No. 9 CR7 Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado on the heels of the team’s strong top-10 finish last weekend at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway with driver Grant Enfinger.

Plus, the Petersburg, West Virginia native is seeking his fourth straight top-10 finish with the Doug George-led team on a superspeedway.

Dating back to the season-opener at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway in February 2020, the 27-year-old has delivered two top-five and three top-10 finishes, including a career-best third place at the World Center of Racing last February.

Knowing the challenges and luck that arrives with superspeedway racing, Rohrbaugh and his Statesville, N.C.-based team enter the final speedway race of the season planning to stick to their gameplan that has delivered success over the past year and a half.

“I’m stoked about being back behind the wheel of the No. 9 Grant County Mulch Chevrolet Silverado this weekend,” said Rohrbaugh. “It’s been a while since I’ve been in the seat, but to see the success the team has been able to endure over the past couple of months with Grant (Enfinger) and Colby (Howard) has made the sacrifice of getting out of the truck worth it.

“We are building a strong program here at CR7 Motorsports and I’d like to think we can continue our recent uptick in race finishes with another good run on Saturday afternoon at Talladega.”

When it comes to strategy, Rohrbaugh says his team doesn’t necessarily have a plan, it’s a wait-and-see type approach.

“Typically, we just let the race play out and see what happens,” added Rohrbaugh. “We have played the strategy game before, and you run the chance of it not working out. We’ll just see how crazy the race gets.

“If the truck is strong and we feel pretty stable, we’ll try and hang near the front. If not, we’ll tuck near the back and make some adjustments and then just focus forward. We’ve been very fortunate enough to have luck on our side the last three superspeedways’ races and I just hope that continues this weekend.”

Based on metrics set by NASCAR without practice or qualifying, Rohrbaugh will line up 29th for the 94-lap race.

CR7 Motorsports holds 24th in the championship owner standings participating in 17 of the 19 races this season.
Rohrbaugh, 27, will make his 36th NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start in the 16th annual Chevrolet Silverado 250.

CR7 Motorsports has 43 NCWTS starts to their credit with a career-best finish of third at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway (February 2020). Additionally, the team owns six other top-10 finishes including two this season at Circuit of the Americas (fourth | Grant Enfinger) in May 2021 and Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway (seventh | Grant Enfinger) in March 2021. An 11th place qualifying effort at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway (Oct. 2019) is the team’s best time trials effort to date.

In 20 career ARCA starts, Rohrbaugh has a best finish of seventh twice at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway (July 2018 and Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway (February 2019). He has qualified a career-best fourth on four different occasions, most recently at Kansas Speedway (Oct. 2018).

Marketing partnership(s) opportunities are also available for the No. 9 Grant County Mulch Chevrolet in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, as well as the team’s ARCA Menards Series No. 97 A.L.L.

U.S. LawShield To Partner with Jordan Anderson for Talladega Superspeedway Truck Race

Statesville, N.C. (September 30, 2021) – U.S. LawShield®, an industry leader and America’s largest provider of Legal Defense for Self Defense® coverage, is continuing its partnership with Jordan Anderson Racing (JAR) for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) Chevrolet Silverado 250 on Saturday, October 2nd at Talladega Superspeedway.

U.S. LawShield in their second year with Jordan Anderson Racing will serve as primary marketing partner on Jordan Anderson’s No. 3 U.S. LawShield Chevrolet Silverado with branding on the hood, sides, and rear TV panel.

The 30-year-old from Forest Acres, South Carolina will make his eighth start of 2021 NCWTS season on NASCAR’s longest oval, at a length of 2.66 miles. Anderson in recent years has earned great success on the Superspeedway’s capturing back-to-back 2nd place finishes in the season opening Next Era Energy 250 at Daytona International Speedway to go along with a 6th place finish in the NCWTS trucks last visit to Talladega Superspeedway in 2020.

“U.S. LawShield is looking forward to sponsoring Jordan Anderson Racing at Talladega,” says P.J. Hermosa, CEO of U.S. LawShield.

“A large portion of the NASCAR fan base represents law-abiding gun owners who want to protect their families and property. We appreciate the opportunity to continue our partnership with Anderson, and to be the industry leader in protecting individuals and families during their greatest time of need.”

Tracing its roots back to 2009 when a group of Houston, Texas-based attorneys saw first-hand the injustice against law-abiding gun owners who were forced to legally defend themselves. They observed that these gun owners, who acted lawfully in self-defense, were at a significant disadvantage within the justice system. They watched these people face unwarranted hardships, loss of freedom and financial ruin in trying to defend themselves in what they felt was a rigged justice system.

These passionate attorneys created what is known today as U.S. LawShield and its Legal Defense for Self-Defense Program now supports a community of members totaling over 700,000 strong across the United States. The company focuses on educating members in self-defense law; empowering them to handle critical life-threatening situations with confidence; and protecting them from potential injustices in the legal system after lawful acts of self-defense.

“It’s a huge honor to have the opportunity to get back behind the wheel of the No. 3 U.S. LawShield Chevrolet Silverado, and represent the over 700,000 members across our great country.” said Jordan Anderson, Owner/Driver of Jordan Anderson Racing.

“We will be racing the same truck that finished 2nd at Daytona earlier this year so I’m confident we have the potential for a great finish at Talladega this weekend. As a member myself – U.S. LawShield not only provides peace of mind, but allows us to emphasize the importance of defending the Second Amendment and standing up for law-abiding gun owners, which is important to both my family – and a large majority of our NASCAR fans.”

Coverage of the NCWTS Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Talladega Superspeedway begins at 1:00 PM ET on Saturday, October 2. The event will air on the Motor Racing Network (MRN), SIRIUS XM NASCAR Radio Channel 90, NBCSN, and the NBC Sports APP.

What You Need To Know About Restoring And Flipping Cars

Luxury and classic cars are a prized possession for many. Restoring or flipping cars for money is also an upcoming business trend. If you like fixing up old cars, you can turn your hobby into a successful business venture with proper knowledge and guidance.

To start with, you can select one of the top 10 easiest cars to restore and work your way up to more complex models. 

What is Car Flipping all About?

Car flipping is a term used primarily in the US. The process of buying cars at a low price, customizing them with new features, and selling them at a profit is known as car flipping.

Car flippers can work as state-licensed dealers or buy and sell restored cars as a hobby. The used-car business is widely popular in the US. It requires an eye for detail and expert knowledge about vintage beauties.

Although a little time-consuming, buying and flipping cars can still work as a side-business or a profitable hobby for car enthusiasts. You can select one of the top 10 easiest cars to restore, which are small, economical, and have low running and insurance costs.

Benefits of Restoring your Classic Vintage Car

According to Statista, vintage cars are a popular choice in the European and North American markets. The global classic car market is expected to grow steadily from around $24.5 billion in 2019 to $35.5 billion in 2023.

Here are a few benefits of restoring a classic vintage car. 

  • If you are an ardent fan of classic automobiles, correctly restoring them can increase their resale value. Many cars will be worth more after they are repaired.
  • Vintage cars are a pleasure to ride. Some classic models offer a thrilling driving experience once they are fully restored.
  • You can choose a custom color and change the aesthetics of your classic car, thereby giving it a new identity altogether. 

Things to Consider Before You Start Car Flipping

Before you enter the car flipping business, the first step is to arrange initial funds to get started. You may need a minimum of $3000 to $5000. It is essential to start with a lower cost to mitigate the risks involved as you grow up.

This is because you will need to manage costs effectively, including expenses such as metal laser cutting near me, for instance, to craft quality car parts. These expenses can quickly add up, so budgeting for materials, tools, and services is critical to ensure profitability in the long run.

With the right expertise and customization features, you can earn up to 25 percent or more from each flip. 

It is, however, essential to understand and follow the laws of your state before you start your business. For example, California allows you to own five cars per year. 

If you wish to buy and sell cars in bulk, getting a dealer’s license is advisable to avoid penalties or notification from the state government.

How Does the Car Flipping Process Work?

There are many ways in which you can buy automobiles for flipping. The best places to find cars are eBay, Craigslist, Facebook, and other online forums. Contacting local car dealers can also give you suitable options to buy and sell used cars.

The next step is adding value to your automobile. This involves:

  • Prepping the car by cleaning the washing the vehicle
  • Painting the exteriors and interiors. You can also add new features and change the interiors. You can introduce new technology and engine to the vehicle to enhance performance.
  • Next are the advertising and marketing options. It is essential to give detailed information in your ads about the vehicle to attract potential buyers. 
  • While selling your prized possession, you should make sure to sign the proper documents and complete the paperwork to avoid discrepancies with the buyer.

Leading companies in the automobile service market are offering official factory-licensed parts for iconic vintage cars. So, you can even repair your great-grandfather’s classic and ride it on the roads with pride and a sense of accomplishment.

NASCAR CUP SERIES
YELLAWOOD 500
TALLADEGA SUPERSPEEDWAY
TEAM CHEVY PRESS CONF. TRANSCRIPT
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

ALEX BOWMAN, NO. 48 ALLY CAMARO ZL1 1LE, Teleconference Transcript Highlights:

IS THE STRESS OF TALLADEGA PHYSICAL, LIKE IT MAKES YOU SICK TO YOUR STOMACH, OR IS IT MORE OF OVERTHINKING AND MENTAL STRESS?
“Really neither. The biggest stress point for me is like trying to make the right decisions to make it to the end of that race. It’s really difficult to do, no matter how good of a speedway racer you are. Just trying to make the right decisions there and the right calls. Hopefully end up towards the front there at the end of the day is definitely pretty tough.”

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE ROVAL, WHY DO PEOPLE STILL CONSIDER IT TO BE SUCH A CHALLENGE OR SUCH A WILDCARD SINCE IT’S NOT NECESSARILY A NEW TRACK NOW?
“I would just say that it really doesn’t have any room for error. It’s a tough place to get around. Once you start pushing, if you make any mistakes, they tend to bite you pretty hard. I’ve been guilty of that there. Late in final practice a couple of years ago and destroyed a race car. It’s just really easy to get yourself in trouble and overdrive a corner and tear something up. So, I feel like that’s what really makes it a wildcard. You have a lot of mistakes from people that you may not normally see. Maybe similar to how Darlington is easy to tear up a race car. The ROVAL kind of falls into that category.”

YOU AND YOUR NO. 48 TEAM REALLY RESPONDED TO THE PRESSURE OF BEING BELOW THE CUT HEADING INTO BRISTOL AND MAKING YOUR WAY IN. HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU NOW IN THE ROUND OF 12 THAT YOU CAN ADVANCE TO THE ROUND OF EIGHT?
“It’s not going to be easy by any means. I feel like last year we had a really great Playoff run. This year we’ve kind of had the opposite of what we had last year. It’s definitely been a little frustrating. But at the same time, our speedway cars are really fast every time we go to a speedway. And we’ve always been pretty good at the ROVAL. I know we have the tools we need to get the job done, and I’m confident we’ll have fast race cars. But I was really confident before we went to Las Vegas as well, and obviously that didn’t work out very well for us. Just got to go make it happen. We’re expected to run better than we’re running right now, and just need to go turn our stuff around and get pointed in the right direction.”

WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE FAN EXPERIENCE YOU’VE HAD?
“There’s always people giving you stuff or making wanting you to sign weird stuff. The most recent one that sticks out to me isn’t really one of those. I guess I’m like the approachable one to ask to go get somebody else. We were in Richmond and NASCAR had us all corralled for the driver intros and fans kind of surrounded that. Most everybody worked their way inside but a couple of us were standing outside, kind of where the fans were. And this girl kept yelling at me like for a couple of minutes. She wouldn’t stop yelling at me. So, I walked over finally, and she just wanted me to go get Chase Elliott for her. It was kind of funny. I thought that was a good one.”

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN CONTROL AT TALLADEGA AS FAR AS MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS AND THE RIGHT CALLS?
“The things you can control are your strategy and kind of where you place your car throughout the day and the situations you put yourself in. I don’t think you can win that race riding around in the back all day and just saving it to be there at the end. But you might be able to score decent points that way. So, it’s definitely a tough situation. The end of both Stages get pretty hectic and then the end of the race, I’m sure we’re going to see a ton of wrecks and kind of the normal superspeedway deal that we all go do and tear a bunch of stuff up. It’s going to be difficult to make it through all that and some of it is luck, but some of it is also where you put yourself. So, I’m going to do my best to put myself in the best position I can. I feel like we need to be aggressive all day and go try and win the thing, so that’s what I’m going to try to do.”

YOU ARE RUNNING UNDER A DIFFERENT PACKAGE AT TALLADEGA THIS WEEKEND THAN IN APRIL. YOU HAD A CHANCE TO TRY IT IN DAYTONA. WHAT DID YOU LEARN THAT YOU CAN APPLY TO TALLADEGA?
“I think some people thought it was really different. I didn’t really think it was that much different. I just felt like the runs formed a little differently. So, just understanding how the runs work with it; but it’s still a superspeedway race and some of a lot of the same things are going on. Just a little different how some of the aero situations worked out. But at the end of the day, it’s still very similar to what we’ve had.”

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM PRIOR PLAYOFF EXPERIENCES THAT CAN HELP YOU THROUGH IT THIS TIME?
“The biggest thing for me is just trying to maximize each and every race and every Stage. You can’t freak out and try any harder because I’m already trying as hard as I can every week. Approaching every race like normal and really just trying to maximize each and every thing. Last year we didn’t change what we were doing that worked. This year we didn’t change what we were doing that hasn’t worked. But just trying to maximize every Stage and every race. You can’t really worry about the points. They kind of are what they are right now. We’re not in a great spot and we’re going to a place that’s a huge wild card. But at the same time, we could be on the good side of the wild card and have other guys get torn up and have an opportunity to win the race. So, we’ve just got to wait and see how it shakes out. If it works out for us, it does. And if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.”

NOT THAT TALLADEGA COULD GET ANY MORE WILD, BUT DOES THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS AREN’T USING THESE CARS AGAIN ADD TO PEOPLE SAYING THEY DON’T CARE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN?
“Yeah, I feel like I should just answer that with are you silly? I’m still going to send it. But I don’t know. I don’t think any race car driver in the Cup Series really, other than a few that are in some situations where they are driving for teams that can’t afford to tear stuff up or have their own reasons for not wanting to tear stuff up. Like, nobody goes to a superspeedway race and is like, oh I want to save this car for the next one or anything like that. We’re all putting it all out there, kind of regardless. But yeah, you’re right. These cars don’t have to get fixed. They are going to have whatever afterlife they have (laughs) after we switch to the new car next year. I hadn’t even thought about that but man, we don’t need any more reasons to tear stuff up at superspeedways. So, stop giving us reasons.”

DO YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE? OR DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE AT THE MERCY OF WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO?
“I don’t know. I want to sit here and tell you I’m super confident and everything is going to be fine. But I’m really confident that we’re going to have a really fast race car. We always do. The guys do a great job on our superspeedway cars, and we show that each and every year. We’ve had a bunch of Daytona 500 front rows and that comes down to some really fast cars. Not super confident that my 39 best friends are going to make the best decisions all day to put me in a great spot, but at the same time we’re all in the same situation and just go race and do what we can.”

Riley Herbst Notes of Interest

• Anything can happen at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, and Riley Herbst is ready for it. With only two races remaining in the Round of 12 of the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs, the Monster Energy driver knows the pressure is on. After a disappointing end to his homecoming at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last Saturday where he was collected in an accident just 30 laps into the race, Herbst looks for a reset in this Saturday’s Sparks 300 at Talladega. The unpredictable nature of superspeedway racing may work in his favor. Herbst finished among the top-10 in two of the three superspeedway races so far this season by being in the right place at the right time – a harbinger of success at Talladega.

• Despite the stumble in Las Vegas, Herbst can still race his way into the Round of 8 with a victory at Talladega or next Saturday on the Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway Roval. In fact, pointing his way into the Round of 8 remains a possibility. By earning stage points and finishing strong at Talladega and Charlotte, Herbst could potentially erase his 32-point deficit to the top-eight cutoff. Herbst has been in this situation before. Entering the July 10 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, the Monster Energy driver was sitting 56-points outside of the top-12 cutoff to make the playoffs. Herbst was undeterred. In an eight-race span starting at New Hampshire, he replaced his points gap with a 46-point cushion thanks to six top-10 finishes, punctuated by a third-place drive in the regular-season finale Sept. 17 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway.

• The Sparks 300 will mark Herbst’s 71st career Xfinity Series start and his fourth at Talladega. While luck wasn’t on his side after being involved in accidents during his first two starts at the track, he bounced back in his last start in April when he finished fourth. Herbst also has five Talladega starts outside of the Xfinity Series – four in the ARCA Menards Series and one in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. He scored a runner-up finish in the 2019 ARCA race.

Riley Herbst, Driver of the No. 98 Monster Energy Ford Mustang

You scored a fourth-place finish at Talladega back in April. What are you expecting in your return trip this race weekend?

“Talladega is unpredictable. Anything can happen and you have to be in the right place at the right time to come out on top. It really helps when you have teammates, and luckily I have my Ford teammates and we’ll work together on Saturday to try and get a win for the manufacturer. Not only did we have a good result in the spring, we also have grown our superspeedway program to where we led laps at both Daytona races this year. Now to just seal the deal and win.”

Your return home to Las Vegas didn’t end up like you had hoped it would, but you’ve still got two chances to turn it all around. Talk about last weekend and what you need to do in the final two races of the Round of 12.

“Last week was a bummer, for sure. You don’t ever want that to happen, but especially when you’re racing at your home track. The only plan is really to collect the stage points and be in contention for the win at the end of races. We’ve been strong on the superspeedways and road courses this season, so hopefully that works in our favor.”

Talladega is wild. What’s the team’s strategy heading into Saturday’s race?

“You go into Talladega knowing any plan you had can change in a second. That’s just the nature of superspeedway racing. The plan is to earn stage points and be there at the end. We have to be smart and stay out of trouble to get there, though. If we can do that, then we have a shot to win and advance to the Round of 8.”
