Skittles America Mix Racing: Kyle Busch Road America Advance

KYLE BUSCH
Hitting the Road

HUNTERSVILLE, North Carolina (June 30, 2021) – Like many Americans this Fourth of July weekend, Kyle Busch will be hitting the road. However, Busch, driver of the No. 18 Skittles America Mix Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), will be doing it much faster than most, and he won’t be on vacation for the holiday weekend.

The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion is set to take on a new challenge as the NASCAR Cup Series makes its debut at the 4.048-mile, 14-turn Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, for Sunday’s Jockey Made in America 250.

While Busch has become one of the veterans of NASCAR’s top series with 59 career wins in what is now his 17th season as a fulltime competitor, the 36-year-old will become a rookie, of sorts, as many of the newer Cup Series competitors have raced several times at Road America with NASCAR’s Xfinity Series, which has competed there 11 times prior to this year’s Cup Series debut at the historic road course.

Still, Busch made a strong debut in May at another new road-racing venue, Circuit of Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas. Busch led 12 laps and had a chance for a win had rain not forced the event to be cut short. The Las Vegas native led laps and finished fifth four weekends ago at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway. This weekend, he hopes to make it to victory lane at yet another new venue and the fourth road course the series will have competed on so far this season.

Road-course racing has taken on even more importance in the Cup Series this year with the addition of COTA, Road America, and the road courses at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway added to the traditional stops at Sonoma, Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International and the Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway Roval. With those additions, it’s more important than ever to have a strong driver and team that can turn left and right this season and beyond.

Busch heads to his Road America debut this weekend on a hot streak, of sorts, as he became the most recent Cup Series winner at the second race of last weekend’s doubleheader at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway. Busch finished just one spot short of a win on Saturday, but while he had a strong car on Sunday, he used a fuel-mileage gamble to bring home a win as the team also fought through transmission issues, which put him behind during several points of Sunday’s winning effort. Still, Busch added to his impressive resume by passing Kevin Harvick for ninth on the all-time Cup Series win list, with potentially many years left in the tank.

To help America’s Independence Day celebration this weekend, Busch’s No. 18 Toyota will feature the Skittles America Mix scheme.Each bag of Skittles America Mix contains a fun, fruit-flavored and patriotic mix of red, white and blue candies. The patriotic-themed Skittles are a must-have for celebrating this weekend – and of course, a great snack while watching a NASCAR Cup Series race. They’re available at retailers nationwide through the summer.

So as Busch heads to Road America for the first time this weekend, as virtually a rookie there, he’ll hope to hit the road not for a vacation weekend, but to get to work and learn an entire new road course in hopes of continuing to add to his impressive career statistics.

KYLE BUSCH, Driver of the No. 18 Skittles America Mix Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing:

What are you expecting this week for your first time ever at Road America?

“I’ve never been there before, so I’ll have a lot to learn, for sure. A lot of the young guys have raced there before in the Xfinity Series, so they’ll probably have a little bit of an advantage just knowing the track a little bit better than I will. We’ll get a chance to have practice and race with our M&M’S Ice Cream Supra in the Xfinity Series race (Saturday), so hoping we learn a lot from that. It will be nice to have practice for the Cup Series, too. Both COTA (Circuit of Americas) and Sonoma were good races for us so far this year, so I think our road-course cars have been pretty strong. We should have had a better finish at COTA, and we had a good car at Sonoma and got a decent finish out of it. Looking forward to getting to Road America this weekend and learning as much as we can and have a good run with our Skittles America Mix Camry and get us a win on the Fourth of July, that would be pretty cool.”

You are running both the Cup Series and Xfinity Series races this weekend. Are doubleheaders fun for you?

“I feel like preparing for a doubleheader is pretty easy. I’ve always been used to running in two or three races in a weekend, running the Truck, Xfinity, Cup, whatever it may be. I like that, so I think it gives us an opportunity to get out there and get our feet wet in the first race in the Xfinity Series, and get a feel for the tire and really think about what you can learn. This weekend at Road America, we’re running the Xfinity Series race with M&M’S Ice Cream on that car and Skittles America Mix on Sunday, so we have a couple of Mars Wrigley brands we would like to have a good weekend for. Obviously, this weekend you go to a place where we’ve never run a race before, so getting some track time in the Xfinity car on Friday and Saturday is going to be very important. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so it will be nice to have some extra track time to work on my car and get some experience and also have just a little bit more knowledge of what it’s like beyond what we do in our (simulator) and other ways we prepare for races.”

Is road-course racing something that comes naturally to you, or is it something you had to work on?

“It’s definitely something you have to work on. With rule changes and tire changes, it’s something you work on every year. There’s always change that you have to work on to be competitive. When I was a kid back in Las Vegas in Legends cars, that’s where I was able to learn about shifting and turning left and turning right. I had the natural instincts for it and won a couple of championships in the winter series we had out there. We actually went out to Sonoma back then and ran the national championship races two years in a row and finished third both times, so I had a little bit of experience on road courses as I came up through the ranks.”

For a veteran like yourself, what’s the benefit of running the Xfinity race this weekend?

“Being able to come to a new track – when everything was announced that we were coming here – I wanted to run there as much as I could. We were able to work it out so both myself and Ty (Gibbs) can run here, as well, so I think it’s beneficial for both of us. He loves road racing, too. It was kind of a perfect scenario – being able to get in the Xfinity Series and be able to practice in both of those races. I’m hoping it will be a really good weekend for us.”

Even after all of this time, does experience matter?

“Absolutely, track time. You are able to work on all of your braking points, my turn-ins, and learn where the rubber will be laid down on the track. You try to get a little bit of a sense of where that stuff is – trying to pick out those visuals that you can really count on each and every day when you try and learn a new track like Road America, COTA, and other places we’ve gone to this year that are new to myself and a lot of the other guys.”

Notes of Interest:

● Twice is Nice: Busch’s win on Sunday at Pocono was his second of the season. Busch has now racked up 13 important playoff points he can take with him through each round.

● Adding to 100: Busch picked up his 100th win in the NASCAR Xfinity Series two weekends ago at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway. He’ll look to add to his win total this weekend as he’ll strap in behind the wheel of the No. 54 M&M’S Ice Cream Supra on Saturday. Busch has just two races remaining on his Xfinity Series schedule with Road America this weekend and Atlanta Motor Speedway the following weekend.

● Road-Course Ringer: Busch scored his fourth career Cup Series road-course win in June 2015 at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway, and he heads to Road America with 12 top-five finishes and 21-top-10s at the traditional road-course stops on the schedule with 37 combined starts at Sonoma, Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International, the Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway road course, and the Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway Roval.

● Alone in Ninth: With Sunday’s win at Pocono, Busch scored his 59th career win in NASCAR’s top series as he moved past Kevin Harvick into sole possession of ninth on the all-time win list. Next up on the win list is Dale Earnhardt, the seven-time Cup Series champion and NASCAR Hall of Famer who won 76 races during his storied career.

● 220 and Counting: Busch will be aiming to add to his record 220 overall wins among NASCAR’s top three series this weekend at Road America. In addition to his 59 Cup Series wins and 100 in the Xfinity Series, Busch has 61 wins in the Camping World Truck Series.

Driver Quotes

“I’ve always liked Road America and we came darn close to winning up there in 2017. It’s a fast place with a lot of technical corners, and I always like going up there. I’m very happy to have a special Allstate Peterbilt Group scheme for this weekend’s race. The home office is fairly close (Eagan, Minn.) and this is a good way to help them celebrate 50 years.“ – Michael Annett

“I’m really looking forward to getting to Road America this weekend with our BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevrolet. We’ve had some good speed with our road course cars this season, just haven’t had the best of luck. However, I have all the confidence that we will unload with another fast Chevrolet on Friday for practice. Hopefully we can keep our car clean all weekend long and be in contention for the win when it counts on Saturday. I’m ready to get going.” – Justin Allgaier

“Road America is a really fun place and it’s nice to be able to race at my home track. I raced the TA2 cars there last year and finished second and I will be running them again this year after the Xfinity race on Saturday. That extra seat time learning the track will be huge along with the added practice in the Xfinity car on Friday. Hopefully we can put this QPS Employment Group Chevrolet in Victory Lane and celebrate with the hometown crowd.” – Sam Mayer

“We’ve had really strong runs the two times we have been to Road America in this No. 9 Chevrolet and I expect more of the same this year. We had a good run last weekend in Pocono so we are slowly gaining momentum. I know Dave (Elenz, crew chief) and this entire No. 9 group is working hard to put this Bass Pro Shops/TrueTimber/Black Rifle Coffee Camaro in Victory Lane to secure our way into the playoffs.” – Noah Gragson

No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 Team Returns to Watkins Glen International for the IMSA WeatherTech 240

Official Release
-

Watkins Glen, Ind. (June 30, 2021) – IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Racing at Watkins Glen International returns this Friday night for a two-hour and 40-minute sprint race. Ricky Taylor, Filipe Albuquerque and the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 team will look to extend their current 33-point lead in the championship at the famed 3.4-mile, 11-turn permanent road course with Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque.

Last Sunday, the dynamic duo alongside IMEC co-driver Alexander Rossi completed a successful weekend at Watkins Glen International for the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen where the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 qualified on pole and finished on podium in third position.

Ricky Taylor’s past success at Watkins Glen International includes two wins, four poles and six podiums with two wins, one pole and three podiums from the previously held Continental Tire 200, a 200-lap sprint race.

“It’s nice to go back-to-back at the same racetrack,” said Ricky Taylor. “Especially because we know exactly what we want for this week and don’t have to wait another year to make those changes. Our debrief will act more like a pre-event and those meetings have evolved into one where we can hopefully turn a third-place finish into a win!”

While this will be Albuquerque’s first sprint race at Watkins Glen International, the Portuguese driver has two wins from the Six Hours of the Glen from 2016 and 2017.

“Friday night’s race will not be as hot at Watkins Glen International since the race is starting at six,” commented Filipe Albuquerque. “Although this race is going to be shorter, Ricky and I are going to have the same exact stints that we had at the Six Hour, except we won’t have Alex. We need to analyze the car more and do the right decisions to make a better car. We will see how the strategy plays out because that is a big role with the engineers, how the mechanics can do the pit stops better than the other teams so we are there to overtake on track.”

“It feels weird to go home and then come back,” added Wayne Taylor. “We have some work to do on the car the past few days to give it better balance and looked at fuel consumption. The guys did a great job last weekend at the Six Hours, so I’m excited to be back and hopefully get another win this year.”

Practice for the IMSA WeatherTech 240 at Watkins Glen begins this Thursday at 2:05 p.m. ET with qualifying following at 5:40 p.m. ET. Green flag will wave on Friday, July 2nd at 6:10 p.m. ET. Flag to flag coverage will start at 6:00 p.m. ET on NBC Sports and TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold.

7 Best Cars Racing-Themed Online Slots

Car racing is a popular theme in online slots. Different slot machine developers have lots of racing titles in their gaming portfolios. However, not every racing game comes with the best experience. Before choosing a game, a few factors always play significance. For example, the setup of a game, usually based on the number of paylines, and reels are crucial. The catch is that every casino slot pays differently. Gaming graphics is another vital consideration punts make when choosing a racing-themed slot machine gaming. 

Different Slot Machine Developers, Cutting-Edge Technology

With most people preferring 3D high definition games to 2D variants, it goes that technology supplements gambling in a big way. Moreover, choosing a racing-themed online slot boils down to return to player percentage. The payout ratio often varies from one developer to another, so you should always review available options before settling on the best. Our Punt casino review for SA players is an excellent starting point for new players looking for the best slot machine games on different themes. Here is a lowdown of the seven best car racing-themed slots you can play in online casinos.  

  1. 5 Reel Drive from Microgaming 

Microgaming is popular for crafting top-notch slot machine games for online casinos. 5 Reel Drive slot is based on the same name. It features five reels and up to 9 paylines. While this game does not have a bonus game, you can still play for a big payout using scatters and wilds. It is every punter’s choice, especially those who love intense action on the reels. 5 Reel Drive has an RTP of 96.96%, which is above par.

  1. Dream Run by RTG

Realtime Gaming is popular for creating the most sought-after slots. Dream Run is a perfect example of a racing-themed game that takes your adrenaline to the highest levels. First off, an RTP of 97% means you are in for excellent payouts as soon as you sign up to play Dream Run by RTP. An interesting aspect of this game is its two wild symbols labeled as ‘racer’ and ‘opponent.’ You also have free spins, wild symbols, and scatters to jest up your game time. The design of Dream by RTP is aesthetically appealing hence elicits a lot of excitement as soon as you spin the reels. 

  1. Racing for Pinks

It seems Microgaming will always have a say in racing-themed slots. Racing for Pinks is another top online slot from the company that offers an adrenaline-pumping experience on the reels. This car-themed slot offers you 243 paylines and 5 reels, hence one of the highest-paying games you can play in any South African online slot. You have 30 free spins in Racing for Pinks. Another high-five is the 5x winning multiplier and x175 earnings with the bonus feature. Mouthwatering payouts in this game overshadow its rather low RTP of 95.81%. The second All-Star achievement by Larson in Texas car racing should provide you with some motivation before hitting the reels in Racing for Pinks.

  1. Drive: Multiplier Mayhem by NetEnt

Drive: Multiplier Mayhem by NetEnt is a racing-themed slot that boasts 15 paylines and a 5-reel setup. The catch with this game is the intensity and excellent graphics that take gaming innovation to a new level. Winning multipliers make this game even more thrilling. You get extra payouts with wilds and free spins. Winning multipliers in the Drive slot machine game can go up to x120 depending on how good a punter is on the reels. Free spins in the bonus round and an RTP of 96.70% means everyone walks away happy.  

  1. Green Light Slot by RTG

The Green Light slot has a 5-reel setup and 20 paylines. A green light is the scatter in this game, and a driver icon is a wild symbol. This is a fast-paced slot machine game that comes with a high-octane gambling experience as you take your chances on the reels. A maximum payout of $10,000, a progressive jackpot, and an RTP of 95% make the Green Light slot a competitive variant in the car racing-themed slot categories. 

  1. Monster Wheels by Microgaming

Our sixth pick is another car racing title from Microgaming, Monster Wheels. While this game has a standard 5-reel setup you get with most online slots, a monstrous 288 paylines is way above par compared to competitor variants. The biggest plus in the Monster Wheels slot game is the bonus round triggered by at least three scatters. There is also a bonus round that gets you more payout with winning multipliers. 

  1.  Midnight Racer Developed by Saucify 

Saucify may not be among the best casino game developers, but the company is known to create memorable experiences for gamblers. Midnight Racer is a car racing-themed slot by Saucify that has a 5-reel setup and 30 paylines. Midnight Racer features excellent graphics that make it a top mobile game for those who love to play on the go. While there is no bonus game in this game, excellent payouts, a higher return to play percentage, and fast-paced gaming further make it a popular choice among gamblers. 

Conclusion 

There are as many car racing-themed slots as you can imagine in online casinos. The ones we have reviewed in this post are only, but a few that we think are among the best. You can always explore more variants, especially by other top casino game providers such as Play N` Go. In the experience, it is all about experience and excellent rewards on the reels.

In today’s economy, it is not uncommon to search for ways to decrease the amount of money you are spending, on everything from electricity, to gasoline and groceries. Why not also look at your current insurance premiums, starting with your auto insurance? It is simple and quick to get car insurance quotes online. You may be able to save a significant amount of money on your Texas Car Insurance rates. If you are thinking that these savings probably won’t apply to you, guess again. You just need to know what to look for and what to ask.

You Must Shop Around

We all shop around for things like health insurance and homeowner’s insurance; we should also spend some time researching our options when it comes to getting a Texas Car Insurance quote. What may have been a good deal last year may not be the best auto insurance company deal THIS year. Savvy consumers perform rate comparisons every time their policy is due for renewal. This effort only takes a few minutes and can save you hundreds per year. In some instances, you might save up to $100 per month!

Examine Your Policy and Make Sure It Fits Your Situation

As your life changes, so do your needs. Re-evaluate your current situation by getting some fresh comparison quotes to determine if you may qualify for additional discounts or low down payment cheap car insurance plans.

Items that may help reduce your rates include good driver discounts (no tickets, accidents), student drivers who maintain good grades, and discounts for grouping your various insurance policies (cars plus homeowners) under one plan.

Amend Your Credit Record

It’s True. Better credit scores often mean lower rates. This is true for your car insurance, as well as health, life, and homeowners. If you have any dings or errors with your credit, take care to address the problems. Contact Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax credit bureaus and request a copy of your credit report from all three companies. This is available to consumers once a year, free of charge. With these reports, you can find old, outdated information and request that it be removed. You can also question errors that may appear. A better-looking report will definitely impact your insurance rates.

Can You Afford a Higher Deductible Amount?

Along the same vein as examining your policy, you must also decide if your current deductible is right for you. Maybe you are in the position of increasing the amount of your deductible. This one thing could significantly reduce your car insurance rates.

Vehicle Type or Model Makes a Difference

If you are currently in the market for a new or used vehicle, this is very important and often overlooked. You will find that some vehicles cost more to insure than others. In fact, some vehicles cost a LOT more to insure. Certain makes and models are far more expensive to repair, in the event of an accident. And, certain makes and models are far more prone to theft.

How can you find out about the car, truck, SUV, or mobile home insurance that you are considering? Magazines and websites, such as Consumer Reports, are a good place to begin. A quick way to know for sure would be to get a quick Texas car insurance quote online.

Compare quotes online 

Free car insurance quotes are accessible by insurance companies who compete with one another to advertise a policy to potential consumers. Before, newspapers, radio, and television were used to be the medium of advertisement. With the arrival of the internet, it is now reachable to present a variety of quotes. Another benefit is that the internet is accessible all the time, 24×7, and is far-reaching to several parts of the earth.

Besides, the insurance companies would acquire the comment almost at once and can discover their possible customers. This is very obliging for the companies to increase their production and resolve if there are some flaws. Alternatively, free car insurance quotes are suitable for the customers too, who are in a situation to evaluate and differentiate a variety of quotes from the usefulness of the house, with no having to drive down, waste gas, or misuse time and energy to obtain a relationship for the assorted car insurance quotes.

To start your search intended for the finest potential car insurance quote, you have to create a file of questions. You should enquire such questions from the offset may accumulate you a bunch of time. Acquire everyone’s information you need when applying for a quote. The information should include the model of your car and the year it was complete that you want to cover. If you’re having one or more drivers of the vehicle(s), then you include assembly all individual information of all drivers that is determined is integrated into your procedure. The information has a name, address, driver’s license, and contact number. Possibly you are compulsory for the social security number is much fine. The sequence will be necessary by the insurance company to practice all information prior to giving you a quote.

To process your accounts will also require your past driving record and allowing the insurance company to witness whether insuring you resolve a danger or a benefit to them. If you receive a parking ticket every time is good enough, however, if you’ve led the police during an interstate on a wild trail, you won’t possibly be eligible for car insurance.

You must prefer which insurance company you approach to go with

You also cover a changeable variety of coverage offered to you. Several may be more advanced than others, while some possibly contribute a good coverage at fewer prices.

Car insurance quotes will take you a huge angle on what coverage you succeed for. You will realize that it is potential for you to buy a policy with a prominent deductible in order to lesser your charges. It is essential that you leave above the facts of the car insurance quotes so you can select which one will work the finest for you.

When you have a preference, you can call that company and give your first best installment. But if you’re trading with a company on the web, after that you must be capable of publishing your verification of insurance to put in your automobile. You can also have your personal insurance quote by just dealing with this easy instruction.

Harvick Armed for Success on Sunday at Road America by Running NASCAR Xfinity Series Race on Saturday

Two-Time Xfinity Series Champion To Drive No. 99 Henry Repeating Arms Ford Mustang for B.J. McLeod Motorsports in Henry 180

MOORESVILLE N.C. (June 29, 2021) – Since the mid-1990s when he started racing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series to his time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and 21 years of NASCAR Cup Series competition, Kevin Harvick has never raced at Road America.

The 4.048-mile, 14-turn road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin has been absent on Harvick’s schedule despite 1,208 total starts across the Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series.

So when Road America was added to the Cup Series schedule in 2021, Harvick quickly conferred with his Cup Series crew chief Rodney Childers and put a plan together to get valuable seat time at the track. That plan has resulted in Harvick driving the No. 99 Henry Repeating Arms Ford Mustang for B.J. McLeod Motorsports in the Henry 180 Xfinity Series race Saturday at Road America in preparation for Sunday’s Cup race.

“When Rodney and I began talking about the best way to get some real-world experience at Road America, we settled in on putting together an Xfinity program,” Harvick said. “We needed a strong partner in Henry Repeating Arms to allow B.J. McLeod Motorsports to put a good car together. We wanted to get far out in front of this race weekend so that we could be properly prepared.”

Harvick isn’t the only driver new to Road America. With the track being on the Cup Series schedule for the first time, simulator work and film study have been on every driver’s to-do list. While helpful, neither takes the place of real-world experience.

“I’ve spent a lot of time on iRacing and we’ve had a couple of simulator dates to get prepared for this weekend,” Harvick said. “But the main reason we decided to run the Xfinity race at Road America and a couple of the other new road courses is that being on-track in real-time is the best experience you can get. There’s just nothing that can replace reality and being on the racetrack.”

That dedication to his craft has made Harvick one of the most successful NASCAR drivers of his era. He won the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series championship and is 10th on the all-time win list with 58 career Cup Series victories, he is a two-time Xfinity Series champion (2001 and 2006) with 47 career wins, and he is a 14-race winner in the Truck Series.

Harvick has been leading the field for more than two decades, so partnering with Henry Repeating Arms at Road America was a natural fit. The American manufacturer of classic rifles and shotguns is a world leader in the lever-action category. It has two manufacturing facilities – one in Bayonne, New Jersey, and the other in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, located approximately 290 miles northwest of Road America.

“Road America is a home race for us and we partnered with Kevin because of his history of success,” said Anthony Imperato, President and Owner, Henry Repeating Arms. “For the fans of our firearms or motorsports fans in general, this is going to be an exciting weekend for all of us.”

In Harvick’s last Xfinity Series race back in May at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, he finished a solid fourth in his first start for B.J. McLeod Motorsports.

“I’m a huge visual person,” Harvick said. “The experience I have in going to these racetracks for a long time – I can tell you every crack, every curve and every marker on the wall, and those are the things I want to have embedded in my mind before we get to Sunday. I want to make sure we’ve hit most of the curbs and know where you can take a risk making a pass and where to make time and how to get on and off pit road in a live situation, because the practices are short. The Xfinity car is going to be the best tool, and just being able to make laps is the most important thing.”

Of Harvick’s 347 career Xfinity Series starts, 12 have come on road courses. He has finished in the top-10 every time. In fact, his worst finish is merely a seventh-place drive at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International on Aug. 12, 2006, and in that race, Harvick still managed to lead 19 laps. He has 10 top-five finishes highlighted by two wins – Aug. 4, 2007 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal and Aug. 11, 2007 at Watkins Glen.

“We’ve always run well on the road courses in the Xfinity Series, and this race at Road America is part of a bigger picture,” said Harvick. “Running the Henry Repeating Arms Ford Mustang on Saturday will get us up to speed for Sunday.”

The No. 99 Henry Repeating Arms Ford Mustang will turn its wheels for the first time on Friday at Road America during a 50-minute practice session from 4:05 p.m. to 4:55 p.m. EDT. It returns to the track on Saturday for qualifying and the race. Qualifying takes place at 11:35 a.m. and the Henry 180 gets underway at 2:30 p.m. with live coverage on NBC and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

This is the first time the Cup Series will race at Road America in 65 years when NASCAR Hall of Famer Tim Flock won the inaugural event.

Chase Briscoe, Driver of the No. 14 Ford Performance Racing School/HighPoint.com Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing:

We’re heading to another new road course for the Cup Series, but you’ve got plenty of track time at Road America. Do you feel like you’ll be able to take better advantage of the 50-minute practice session since you already know the track?

“Definitely. We’ve been working on some things over the last month so that we can get the most out of practice. Johnny (Klausmeier, crew chief) asked for some information on which corners we need to focus on so that I’m the most comfortable I can be in my first time there in the Cup car. It’s going to be nice to, right away, know what I need in the racecar and the feel I’m looking for, and just know the track. I don’t have to go there and learn it, I’ve already been there plenty of times. I feel Road America is one of the tracks where, as a racecar driver, you can kind of outrun your equipment sometimes. It really is an equalizer. I’ve really grown to love road courses and that comfortability helps when going to these tracks.”

You’ve said that Road America is one of your favorite places to visit. What makes it so special?

“I have always loved visiting Road America. It’s always one of the best crowds for the Xfinity Series and I’m sure we’ll see the same for Cup. It’s just a beautiful part of the country. I think I’ve discovered some hidden areas, but the place is so big, it seems like I find something new every time. I’ve been able to do all the trails and disc golf. I’ve done a lot of things at Road America and got to see parts of the racetrack where, if you just show up as a driver on race weekend and don’t explore, you would never even know were there.”

With your experience at Road America, what should we be keeping an eye on this weekend?

“I think tires are going to be important, and fuel is definitely going to be a concern in that final stage. It’s something that the crew chiefs will try to figure out – how early can you pit with your tires being able to be there at the end.”

Aric Almirola, Driver of the No. 10 Smithfield/Pit Boss Grills Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing

You have never raced at Road America. How have you prepared for your debut?

“A lot of simulator time. Ford Performance gives us all the tools we need to prepare for race weekends like this with their simulator. It’s as realistic as it gets and it gives me the opportunity to memorize braking points, speeds and all of the new turns. Luckily, we’ll have practice and qualifying this weekend to give us more reps.”

Is there anything better than tailgating at a race on July 4 weekend?

“Grilling out and tailgating at the race on July 4th weekend was a staple of my childhood growing up as a race fan. The same is true with NASCAR fans today. Whether they’re at the track cheering for us or in the backyard watching on NBC, NASCAR fans will be in full force cooking Smithfield on their Pit Boss grills. It’s an American tradition. Last weekend (at Pocono), we saw the most campers and tailgaters we’ve ever seen, and I’m sure we will see the same this weekend at Road America. There’s no better way to celebrate the holiday weekend than with Smithfield and Pit Boss Grills on the side of a red, white and blue No. 10 Ford Mustang.”

Do you feel confident going to another road course for the first time?

“Our finishes don’t show it, but we have actually improved our road-course program. I feel more confident behind the wheel and I think the package we run has worked in our favor this year. We had a good day at the Daytona road course earlier in the year. I couldn’t see at COTA with all of the rain, and we were in position for a top-10 at Sonoma before we had to avoid an accident at the end of the race that forced us off the track. We just need to put a full race together, minimize mistakes, and have a good day on pit road.”

Are you excited to have qualifying this weekend?

“Oh yeah. It gives us a shot at a decent starting spot instead of letting this qualifying equation tell us where to start. It’s always nice to know you have a shot at it and can put your outcome in your own hands.”

QUOTE WORTHY
Buescher on racing at Road America:
“This weekend is yet another opportunity for our team to rebound as the playoff picture gets ever tighter. Thankfully I’ve had some experience there prior in the Xfinity Series years ago, and that combined with our crew chiefs’ past should give us a good base to start from. We’ve felt pretty confident in our road course program the last few months, so our hope is to put the Fastenal Ford up front come Sunday.”

Last Time Out
Buescher finished 20th in the first of two races at Pocono last weekend, earning himself the pole for Sunday’s race. He went on to finish 19th in that event.

Where They Rank
The playoff battle continues to heat up with Buescher three points below the cut line entering the weekend.
