EVENT PREVIEW: Wright Back in Wisconsin for SRO America Weekend as Points Leaders

By
Official Release
-

BATAVIA, Ohio. (August 24, 2021) – Wright Motorsport heads to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for the second time this month, this time to compete in the Fanatec GT World Challenge and GT America series. The Batavia, Ohio-based Porsche customer racing team enters the weekend as the points leaders in both series, looking to continue a season of consistent execution to expand the point leads.

The weekend will be significantly less busy for Wright than the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Road America weekend two weeks ago, which involved 43 team members, eight transporters, and six cars racing in two different cities. The SRO America event will run two cars this weekend: the No. 20 Porsche 911 GT3 R of Fred Poordad and Jan Heylen in the Fanatec GT World Challenge America and the No. 45 Porsche 911 GT3 R of Charlie Luck in GT America.

“While this may be a lighter weekend logistically than our last time here, it’s no less important,” said Team Owner John Wright. “Both of our cars are looking incredibly strong with their championship leads, but we’re only halfway through the season. We have to stay focused, stay vigilant, and keep those consistent podium results coming.”

The event will begin on Thursday, August 26 at 5:00 PM Central Time, with a parade of GT cars driving from Road America to Siebkens Resort in downtown Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. There, fans can come to the official Welcome Party of the race weekend, enjoy live music, and see the race cars on display into the evening hours. The fan engagement will continue into the weekend with the return of autograph sessions in the paddock on Saturday, August 28 at 10:30 AM for GT World Challenge America and 3:30 PM for GT America.

Fanatec GT World Challenge America
After a strong double-podium weekend at VIRginia International Raceway in June, Fred Poordad and Jan Heylen have a solid, 28-point lead in the top SRO race series. With 25 points being awarded for each win, the pair can stay at the front by continuing to net podium finishes consistently. To date, they have finished on the podium in all six races, with seven races remaining. In the team standings, the gap Wright Motorsports holds over the second-place team is a narrow two points, keeping the pressure high heading into Road America. Poordad had a strong performance at the Wisconsin circuit in 2020, securing back-to-back wins with co-driver Max Root. This weekend, Poordad and Heylen will be one of eleven cars competing in the class, and one of only a few to have tested privately at the circuit just last week.

Fans unable to attend the event can stream the races live on YouTube.com/GTWorld on Saturday, August 28 from 1:15 PM to 2:45 PM CT, and Sunday, August 29 at 2:15 PM Central.

DRIVER QUOTES | No. 20 Porsche 911 GT3 R

Fred Poordad
Road America is an exciting track with great fans and a long racing history. The track is fast and requires focus and no mistakes for a good outcome. I’m looking forward to getting back in the saddle after a two-month layoff. The team will rise to the occasion and go out there and have some fun!

Jan Heylen
It’s always fun to go back to Road America. It’s one of the classics on the schedule and it’s especially fun to drive in a high downforce car like the Porsche 911 GT3 R. I am really excited to go there in the lead of the championship and, hopefully, we can leave the weekend with another podium, extending our points lead. We’ve had a really good season so far. The Wright team, Fred, everybody’s been super consistent and we’re going to try to continue on that path. We are looking to come away with a lot of points and another podium.

GT America Powered by AWS
While the GT World Challenge competitors had an almost three-month break, the GT America championship jumped back into action earlier this month with the Music City Grand Prix in downtown Nashville. Despite contact from another car early into one of the two races there, Luck was able to navigate the Porsche through the tight course to secure two second-place finishes in the inaugural event. His double-podium weekend gave him his seventh and eighth podiums in eight races. He now leads the overall point standings as well as the Masters class by over 30 points. Wright also currently reigns in the team standings, holding the lead by five points.

The GT America races will also air live on YouTube.com/GTWorld, with race one taking place on Saturday, August 28 at 4:15 PM, followed by race two on Sunday, August 29 at 8:30 AM CT.

DRIVER QUOTE | No. 45 Porsche 911 GT3 R

Charlie Luck
Coming out of the Nashville street course, Road America will be totally different. There are lots of high-speed corners and driving the Porsche 911 GT3 R here for the first time means I need to adapt a lot of my techniques to this specific track. We tested here and learned a lot. I can’t wait.

Wright Motorsports
Wright Motorsports is the premier Porsche race engineering facility in Ohio and a multi-series, international racing team known for superb car preparation, expert race strategy, and driver development. Located in Batavia, Ohio, it is owned and directed by John Wright, a certified Porsche factory-trained technician.

World’s Largest Quick-Service Restaurant Brand Puts Eat Fresh Refresh™ on Fast Track

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (Aug. 24, 2021) – Subway® restaurants has partnered with Stewart-Haas Racing to put its Eat Fresh Refresh™ on the fast track by becoming a primary partner of the championship-winning NASCAR team.

The world’s largest quick-service restaurant brand will begin its association with Stewart-Haas Racing when it debuts on the No. 4 Ford Mustang of Kevin Harvick during the Sept. 18 NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway. Subway will return as a primary partner of the No. 4 team Oct. 24 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City. For all other races, Subway will be an associate sponsor on the No. 4 Ford.

“Subway is proud to team up with Stewart-Haas Racing, Kevin Harvick and the No. 4 Ford to help us showcase the ongoing transformation happening at Subway restaurants across the country,” said Carrie Walsh, Chief Marketing Officer, Subway. “The track record of Stewart-Haas Racing, Kevin and the team mirrors Subway’s promises to guests of offering better choices, as well as the importance of refreshing to stay at the top of your game. We look forward to celebrating success on and off the track.”

Subway launched the Eat Fresh Refresh last month, which celebrates the biggest changes in the brand’s history, including improvements to almost every core product on the menu along with an enhanced digital and in-restaurant experience to deliver better choices every day.

The partnership with Stewart-Haas Racing reunites Subway with NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart. The “Stewart” in Stewart-Haas Racing scored the 33rd of his 49 career NASCAR Cup Series victories in a yellow-and-green Subway-sponsored racecar on Oct. 5, 2008 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. It was his last win before a refresh of his own, as he formed Stewart-Haas Racing in 2009 with machine tool magnate Gene Haas to become a driver/owner where he ultimately won his third and final NASCAR Cup Series championship in 2011.

“Sometimes you’ve got to change direction and, for me, becoming a driver/owner in the NASCAR Cup Series was exactly the refresh I needed,” Stewart said. “Quality, quickness and the ability to adapt drives everything we do at Stewart-Haas Racing. Subway operates very similarly. I admire what Subway is doing to strengthen its customer experience, from in store to online, and we’re very proud to help tell that story.”

Stewart embodies Subway’s mantra that to be fresh, you need to refresh. He is one of the most versatile racers in all of motorsports with 13 driving championships in various styles of racecars across an array of series. His business acumen matches his driving prowess, as his race teams have claimed 29 titles, three of which are by Stewart-Haas Racing – his own in 2011 and then a second via Harvick in 2014, along with a NASCAR Xfinity Series championship in 2018.

“This is an exciting partnership because of the intensity and creativity of Subway’s activation plans,” said Brett Frood, President, Stewart-Haas Racing. “To have the personalities within our team leverage our synergies with Subway on a national scale is an incredible opportunity for our organization and our sport. We look forward to delivering all of Subway’s improvements to our loyal fans and beyond.”

About Subway® Restaurants:

As the world’s largest quick-service restaurant brand, Subway serves freshly made-to-order sandwiches, wraps, salads and bowls to millions of guests, across more than 100 countries in nearly 40,000 restaurants every day. Every restaurant is owned and operated by Subway franchisees – a network of more than 20,000 dedicated entrepreneurs and small business owners – who are committed to delivering the best guest experience possible in their local communities.

Heartbreaking End for Bridget Burgess at Irwindale Speedway

By
Official Release
-

TOOELE, UT, August 24, 2021 – Bridget Burgess and the HMH Construction Chevrolet SS headed back to Irwindale Speedway last weekend for round 5 of the ARCA Menards West Series.

The ARCA Menards West Series running the same format as the July race, kicked off with practice/qualifying midafternoon. The team worked hard through the hour and fifteen-minute session to get the setup right for race. Towards the end of the session the team switched over to a qualifying setup only to miss out going back on track by seconds, meaning Bridget would start the race in 13th position.

Irwindale Speedway always knows how to put on a show, and once again they didn’t disappoint! The teams lined up the cars under the grandstand, allowing the spectators a close-up look of the race cars and drivers that were about to put on a show. This gave Bridget a great opportunity to interact with the fans signing hero cards and taking photos before the race.

As the sun started to set over the greater Los Angeles area, the green flag waived for the start of the start of the NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Sunrise Ford. The stacked field of 20 cars roared into action in front of a packed crowd.

The caution flag waived signaling the halfway mandatory break; Bridget headed down pit road and the team went to work on the HMH Construction Chevrolet SS making a two-tire change, fuel and adjustments on the car.

Bridget continued to improve through the race, making gains where she could, and learning to fight the challenges that were in front of her. Heartbreak came with 5 laps to go when the left rear truck arm broke after entering turn 1. Bridget did a great job locking the car down preventing any further damage to the car, but her race was done for the night falling back to a 14th place finish.

A replay of Saturday’s NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Sunrise Ford will broadcast on NBCSN on Sunday, Aug. 29, starting at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Bridget’s next race will be the ARCA Menards West Series on the road course at Portland International Raceway on Sept. 11 in conjunction with the Indy Car and Indy Lights.

Bridget is powered by these great companies:
HMH Construction, GEARWRENCH, Rugged Radios, Cometic Gasket, Circle Track Warehouse, Ferrea Racing Components, FK Rod Ends, Fragola Performance Systems, GC Cooling Fan, GT Radial, Hawk Performance, Impact Race Products, K&N Filters, Kellerstrass, Konig, Lucas Oil, Miller Electric, ProAm, PSC Motorsports, Streamline Customer Designs, Sunoco Race Fuel, Tilton, XS Power

CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT CARS AT VENTURA RACEWAY THIS SATURDAY

(Upland, CA, August 23, 2021) Thanks to Ventura Raceway promoter Jim Naylor, the California Lightning Sprint Car Series will be in action at “The Best Little Dirt Track in America,” this Saturday night, August 28th. It will be race nine for the series this year and the second of four on the picturesque track located adjacent to the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds.

The CLS was originally slated to race at the Santa Maria Raceway on Saturday, but when the track ceased operations two weeks ago, it left a hole on the schedule. CLS official Dick Hindman contacted Naylor after the cancelation and the longtime track promoter graciously agreed to host the CLS on the night. Also on the program will be the VRA Sprints, VRA Senior Sprints, Dwarf Cars, IMCA Modifieds, WMR Midgets, IMCA Mod Lites and TQ Midgets.

In the only other appearance of the CLS at Ventura this year, San Diego’s A.J. Bender won the main event. It was the second of his current series leading three main event victories in 2021. Yucca Valley’s Jeff Dyer, James Turnbull of Indio, five-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills and Lakewood’s Aiden Lange rounded out the top five on that night.

Turnbull goes into Saturday’s race with a healthy 70-point lead over series leading rookie Dave Gasper in the championship point standings. Gasper was in second late in the race at Santa Maria on July 24th when his left rear wheel came off. The setback did not haunt the Santa Barbara teenager for long as two weeks later, he won his first ever CLS main event in the “Civil War Series” at the Merced Speedway.

Following Turnbull and Gasper in the top five in points going into this week’s race are Palmdale’s Eric Greco, who has two wins this year, Michnowicz, who has one win and Gardena’s Dominic Del Monte.

For fans who would like to attend Saturday’s race on “The Best Little Dirt Track In America,” spectator gates will open at 3:30 and the first race will be at 5:30. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE.

The CLS would like to thank 2021 series sponsors Hoosier Tires, T Shirts By Timeless, TJ Forged Racing Wheels, and Walker Performance Filtration. If you or your company would like to become part of the series, please call Alex Grigoreas at (909) 437-3170.

How to Choose the Right Auto Body Repair Shop and Save a Packet

Even if you are a responsible driver, you may still be involved in an accident due to poor road conditions or others’ irresponsible driving, leaving your car damaged. When it happens, you need to get your vehicle repaired quickly and competently. While choosing the right auto body repair workshop should be simple, it unfortunately isn’t, as both cost and time estimates can vary widely. Some tips to make a wise choice:

Ask For Recommendations

Not only can any business advertise, but they will also only say good things about themselves. A better way to choose a good body shop is to ask family, relatives, friends, and acquaintances for recommendations. In many cases, you can find a small, unknown shop that does a good job without charging you the earth. Some of the best workshops are family-owned, with the owner himself working on the cars with great passion.

If you want to understand repairs before you agree to them, online resources that let you read more on Ford repair manuals can make conversations with a mechanic much clearer. With that background knowledge, you can compare estimates, ask sharper questions, and feel more confident about leaving your car in a particular shop’s hands.

Get a Value-For-Money Estimate

Estimates from different body repair shops can vary widely because the number of hours and the hourly labor rate can differ significantly. The labor rate depends on the demand for services and the level of affluence in the area in which the workshop is located. The rate of one shop can easily be double that of another. Typically, large workshops have more infrastructural and staff overheads that lead to heftier bills. Try to choose an auto body repair Lubbock Texas that follows and charges for the industry-accepted number of hours for specific repair jobs rather than all-inclusive general estimates without any basis.

Compare Multiple Estimates

Take the effort of showing your car to several workshops for estimates so that you can figure out what a reasonable estimate might be. Huffington Post recommends you get estimates from at least three workshops. Important as it is to avoid being overcharged, you should not automatically settle for the lowest estimate, because if it is really low, it might not allow for good-quality repairs. Even with high-quality repairs, the financial impact of a collision goes beyond the repair bill. Many owners do not realize how much a car lost value after accident until they try to sell or trade it in later. This drop in market price happens because a vehicle with a damage history is worth less than one that is original. Getting a professional appraisal helps you understand this hidden cost and provides documentation for insurance claims. It is a smart step to take while your car is still in the shop or right after the work is done.

Ask Relevant Questions

Find out whether they offer a written warranty, what it covers, and its duration. Insist on at least a 1-year warranty, but beware of shops offering lifetime warranties, as they are unrealistic. Also, check whether the workshop has adequate theft and fire insurance to ensure your car is covered. Verify that their business license is valid and that they have been in business for a reasonable period. Find out if the replacement parts they will use are new from OEM, aftermarket, or used and refurbished. If your car is old, it can be worthwhile to go in for used parts if you get a significant cost advantage. Please confirm how many coats of paint and the clear coat will be applied, and whether they guarantee a good match with the original color.

Conclusion 

Even after going through all the steps enumerated above, you should give your car to a workshop that gives you the right vibes. Avoid workshops that have lazy, indifferent, or arrogant staff and that do not seem neat, organized, or professional. In lieu of this, consider taking your vehicle to reliable auto body shops St George offers, as they are known for their experienced staff and high-quality services.

Best Racing-Themed Online Slot Games

Racing-themed online slot games are an exciting addition to the slots machine. They bring with them the adrenaline rush of fast-paced cars along with the thrill of winning at online slot machines. There are many offers, but for the best, you need to look for the game structure which is the number of reels, and pay lines. You should also consider the graphics and storylines for maximum entertainment. 

We have done the hard part for you so that you don’t take up most of your time trying out disappointing options. Of course, you will need to find the best online casino Philippines to play for real money and or at online casinos in Canada and enjoy an immersive environment. Here are the seven best racing-themed online slot games. 

Highway Kings

Highway Kings is developed by Playtech Software, which has an excellent reputation for its designs and immersive experiences. The game has exciting gameplay, especially as you cruise along the highway in your truck. Its symbols include trucks, tires, and cans of petrol. 

Highway Kings has five reels and nine pay lines, and you can adjust the bet size on each pay line with the total amount ranging from 9p to £45 per spin. Unlike most of the slots which have bonuses, there is none with Highway Kings. While this is a letdown, the upside is that it is far more common to have huge in-game wins up to 100x your bet. Should you be fortunate enough to hit the red truck’s jackpot symbol five times, you earn a 10,000X multiplier on your bet. 

Green Light

Realtime Gaming, a well-known brand in the online casino industry, is Green Light’s maker, and the game is a sure winner. It has earned rave reviews for its audio-visual graphics and immersive experience. The game has five reels and 20 pay lines. The Driver icon is the wild symbol, while the Green Light is the scatter symbol. 

You get the Green Light bonus game if you acquire three or more reels on any location on the five reels. It is a chance to win up to 25 free spins depending on the performance of the car you pick. Other attractions of the game include a progressive jackpot, a maximum in-game payout of $10,000, and 95% RTP. 

Racing for Pinks 

Of all the games on this list, few will pose a challenge as Racing for Pinks, and none will offer more chances for winning as this game. It is a game from Microgaming, arguably one of the best game developers, so the quality of gameplay is not an issue. The game has three rows, five reels, and 243 pay lines, making it one of the highest-paying slot games. 

There are 30 free spins as a bonus, a 5x winning multiplier going to 175x on the bonus feature. However, the interesting aspect is the bonus game that you enter if you land the race signs on the 1st and 5th reels. You bet on either the blue or red team in the game, and if you pick the winning team, you advance to the next level. There are five levels, each with exciting rewards. If you make it through all levels, you get the jackpot prize. 

Drive: Multiplier Mayhem

Drive: Multiplier Mayhem is a game from NetEnt, one of the industry’s biggest names in software development. It has the thrill of making you feel like you are driving on a darkly lit highway at ultra-fast speeds. It is a five-reel setup with 15 pay lines, and as its name suggests, it is big on multipliers. 

With plenty of free spins and multiplier wilds, there are plenty of winning opportunities. The bets start from 15 coins to 75 coins per spin. Play well, and you could end up as the winner of a lucrative jackpot prize that can get you your wheels. 

Midnight Race

Saucify may not be the biggest brand in online casino gaming software, but they made one of the best racing games in Midnight Race. The game has one of the most engaging plotlines following the exploits of Hector, Kumiko, and Hans, who take part in illegal street racing. It is a fast-paced car slot game and features interesting symbols like driving gloves, car speedometer, and alloy wheels. 

Midnight Race is a five-reel slot with 30 pay lines. If you hit the scatter symbol three, four, or five times, you get eight, twelve, and twenty free spins, respectively. On top of that, the game has a high return to player percentage and excellent payouts. 

Mad Dash Slot

As the name suggests, Mad Dash is a vibrant and fast-paced game that adds to its engaging nature. The game allows you to play using just one pay line or up to 20 pay lines. The more pay lines you use, the higher your chances of winning the base jackpot of 2000 coins for every coin spent on each pay line. 

The game further offers excellent rewards, including a bonus of free spins from 10, 15, to 25 if you get three or more scatter symbols. The trophy is the scatter symbol. It also has a 4x multiplier that boosts the base jackpot up to 8000. To earn the jackpot, you need to play with one coin per line for all the lines and manage to get all the five jackpot symbols on any of the active pay lines. Its winning potential means you cannot pass up on this game. 

Good to Go Slot

Good to Go is another excellent offering from Microgaming and best demonstrates the software developer’s desire to set new frontiers. The game features the usual and new innovative racing symbols, including drivers in helmets, checkered flags, and beautiful women. 

The game also has attractive jackpot sums adding up to $50,000, and there are bonuses too. For example, three scatters or more will get you three more spins on the final reward. Good to Go has nine pay lines that you can bet on and are also free to change the wager on any line. The amount ranges from 0.01 to 10 credits making the maximum bet amount 90 credits per spin. 

Conclusion

If you are looking for some online fun, you will not go wrong with racing-themed online slots. They are engaging and demand a certain level of skill. The best sports activities also offer you a chance to win a decent life-changing amount even if the stakes are high. Our shortlist above is an excellent way to start your adventure.

NASCAR Top-10 Power Rankings: Michigan

BROOKLYN, MICHIGAN - AUGUST 22: Ryan Blaney, driver of the #12 Menards/Cardell Cabinetry Ford, takes the checkered flag to win the NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway on August 22, 2021 in Brooklyn, Michigan. (Photo by Logan Riely/Getty Images)

Note: The quotes in this article are fictional.

1. Kyle Larson: Larson finished third at Michigan and heads to Daytona looking to clinch the regular-season title.

“I lead all drivers in wins,” Larson said. “I’m the leader in the points standings. And I’m the favorite to win the Cup championship. Need I say more? No. Which in my case is good.”

2. Chase Elliott: Elliott won Stage 1 and finished eighth in the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan.

“Being out front was the key at Michigan,” Elliott said. “You can’t underestimate the importance of clean air. ‘Dirty air’ is what you get when you’re behind the leader, or when you listen to Kyle Busch on his team radio.”

3. Denny Hamlin: Hamlin came home fifth at Michigan.

“I’m still winless,” Hamlin said, “but I still have a shot at the regular-season championship. Even if I don’t win it, I can still take comfort in knowing that, with zero wins this season after seven last season, it has, indeed, been a regular season.”

4. Martin Truex Jr.: Truex suffered early damage to the left rear of his car, which caused major handling issues.

“That contact was caused by Kyle Busch,” Truex said. “Like most drivers, I try to avoid contact with Kyle under all circumstances. That means on the track, in team functions, and in public. Aside from that, we have a great working relationship.”

5. William Byron: Byron just missed taking his second win this year, losing to Ryan Blaney by just .077.

“It sucks to lose by such a slim margin,” Byron said. “Heck, I’d just as soon finish last than lose by so tiny a margin. So, this may very well be the first time someone actually wished they were Joey Gase.”

6. Kevin Harvick: Harvick struggled with handling issues early and was never a threat to win at Michigan. He finished 14th and remains winless on the year.

“I won nine times last year,” Harvick said. “And I swept both races at MIS last year. So, I was highly optimistic I could win on Sunday. But I didn’t and I’m very disappointed. On the bright side, I wasn’t obligated to take a sip of Busch Light Apple in Victory Circle.”

7. Kyle Busch: Busch overshot his pit stall on the final pit sequence, ruining his chances for victory at Michigan. He finished seventh, one of three Joe Gibbs Racing drivers in the top 10.

“That was totally my fault,” Busch said, “and I can’t tell you how angry I am at myself. I came in a little hot; I came out a little hotter.”

8. Alex Bowman: Bowman finished 16th at Michigan while Hendrick Motorsports teammates William Byron, Kyle Larson, and Chase Elliott finished 2, 3, and 8, respectively.

“Daytona is up next on the schedule,” Bowman said. “It’s the last race before the playoffs, and with one playoff spot left, you can imagine how wild it could be at Daytona. As you would expect in Florida, fans refuse to mask their excitement.”

9. Ryan Blaney: Blaney took the lead on the final restart at Michigan and held on for the win, edging William Byron by .077.

“It’s always a big deal when a Ford wins at Michigan,” Blaney said. “And that happens a lot. It’s a bigger deal when Ford wins something of consequence. That doesn’t happen a lot.”

10. Joey Logano: Logano was caught up in a crash on a late restart, leaving his No. 22 Ford with right-front suspension damage. His day was done, and Logano finished 33rd.

“Congratulations to my Penske Racing teammate Ryan Blaney on his win,” Logano said. “He won by a nose over William Byron. Austin Dillon lost by a nose over Brad Keselowski.”

SONOMA, Calif., (August 23, 2021) — Following a successful test session at Road America last week, Flying Lizard Motorsport will return to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for their first weekend back in the GT America championship since March. Coming back to the series with a two-car effort, the Lizards will have both Andy Wilzoch in the No. 460 Porsche 911 GT3 R, and Memo Gidley in the No. 101 Bentley Continental GT3 as TKO Motorsport with Flying Lizard.

“Our test went very well, and we’re excited to see how our drivers and cars stack up against the competition,” said Program Manager and Team Principal Darren Law. “Since we’ve joined mid-season, we know we’re not in any championship battles, but GT America provides a great space for bronze drivers to race each other competitively and grow with every race.”

Andy Wilzoch participated in his first GT America race earlier this year at Circuit of the Americas, winning race one in the Masters class and finishing second in race two. He holds several wins over the last few years at Road America in the former Porsche Trophy West Series and will be a strong contender this weekend.

The event will mark the team’s first debut with the No. 101 Bentley Continental GT3, having recently purchased it from sister team, K-PAX Racing. Gidley and the team participated in a two-day private test with other teams, getting a sufficient amount laps in to prepare for the upcoming event.

Before the race weekend festivities begin, the series under the SRO umbrella will host a parade through Elkhart Lake, and welcome party downtown at Siebkens Resort on Thursday, August 26, starting at 5:00 PM CT.

Veteran Driver Will Pilot the No. 96 Carnomaly Toyota Camry

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Aug. 23, 2021) – Veteran NASCAR Cup Series driver Landon Cassill will be behind the wheel of the No. 96 Carnomaly Toyota Camry for Gaunt Brothers Racing (GBR) at this season’s remaining superspeedway races – Saturday night’s regular-season finale at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and Oct. 3 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

Carnomaly, the world’s leading automotive crypto company with an eye on revolutionizing the future of the automotive industry, will serve as the primary partner for Cassill in both races.

“I’m proud to bring Carnomaly into the sport and into the NASCAR Cup Series,” Cassill said. “They’ve been a great partner of mine and eRacr, which is the esports arm of what I do with Parker Kligerman. We put on big events on iRacing and Carnomaly was the sponsor of an event earlier this year called the Carnomaly 500, which was at Daytona on iRacing. I’m really looking forward to bringing Carnomaly to real racetracks at Daytona and Talladega with Gaunt Brothers Racing.”

For Carnomaly, whose fleet of tech solutions is designed to bring digital innovation to the automotive industry through the power of blockchain and crypto technology, the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona will be its first appearance as a primary team partner in NASCAR. Through the company’s innovation, Carnomaly is on a path to change the way consumers buy, sell, shop, report and finance new or used vehicles.

“I’m incredibly excited about the partnership with Landon Cassill and Gaunt Brothers Racing,” said Scott Heninger, Founder and CEO, Carnomaly. “Landon is at the forefront of cryptocurrency’s use in the auto racing industry. He’s the perfect partner to team up with on this endeavor in order to further revolutionize the auto finance industry and expand our consumer base.”

Cassill is currently competing fulltime in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for JD Motorsports. The 32-year-old from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was the Xfinity Series’ rookie of the year in 2008 and has competed in the NASCAR Cup Series since 2010.

“Marty Gaunt is someone who I’ve always believed in,” Cassill said. “We’ve had a really good relationship for a long time and we’ve talked about working together many times over the years. This is really good timing and a perfect opportunity to get in his No. 96 Toyota Camry and see what we can do.”

Gaunt Brothers Racing was founded in 2010 and began in the Canada-based NASCAR Pinty’s Series and the U.S.-based NASCAR K&N Pro Series. After seven years competing in NASCAR’s development divisions, Gaunt Brothers Racing stepped up to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2017.

“Landon and I have often talked about finding a way to work together. He’s a scrappy, determined racer and I’m thrilled to finally have him in our racecar,” said Marty Gaunt, President, Gaunt Brothers Racing. “Daytona and Talladega are two tracks where it’s supremely important to stay out of trouble and be there at the end for any chance at success, and that’s one of Landon’s strong suits. Being able to bring Landon back to the Cup Series while introducing Carnomaly to our sport is something we take a lot of pride in.”
