Global Radio-Control Hobby Leader Proud to Support Daytona 500 Champion Michael McDowell

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 22, 2021) – Front Row Motorsports (FRM) today announced its latest partner to its No. 34 NASCAR Cup Series program and Daytona 500 Champion, Michael McDowell. Horizon Hobby joins the organization this weekend at the Pocono Raceway in what begins a three-race partnership that also includes the race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The ARRMA® brand will adorn the No. 34 Ford Mustang for both events this Saturday and Sunday in Pennsylvania.

Horizon Hobby joins Love’s Travel Stops, Speedco, Fr8 Auctions, CarParts.com, Revolve Finance Online Banking and SpeedyCash.com to complete the season primary partnerships as McDowell prepares for the NASCAR Playoff this fall.

“This has been a great season for everyone at Front Row Motorsports and what we’re hoping to continue to build,” said McDowell. ‘We now have the final piece of the puzzle with Horizon Hobby, a great new partner for our team, to help us make our summer push before the NASCAR Playoffs.”

“Horizon Hobby is a leader and the best when it comes to RC products,” continued McDowell. “They are about innovation, speed, and the best quality for their consumers.

“The ARRMA brand is defined by speed,” said Jason Dearden, Founder, ARRMA. “We’re honored to join with Horizon Hobby to support Front Row Motorsports and Michael McDowell at the Pocono doubleheader. We can’t wait to see the car on the track.”

Rossi rejoins Taylor, Albuquerque and the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 team for the third endurance battle of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship series

By
Official Release

Brownsburg, Ind. (June 22, 2021) – The current IMSA WeatherTech Championship points leaders will look to extend their lead this weekend at Watkins Glen International for the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen. Alexander Rossi will return to the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 alongside full-time co-drivers Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque at the 3.4-mile, 11-turn permanent road course located in Watkins Glen, New York.

In addition to winning this notable six-hour endurance race back in 2011 from the pole, the Wayne Taylor Racing team has secured five podium finishes, eight top-five finishes and led 249 laps throughout their 13 years of competing at the historic circuit.

The No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 team will also be looking to achieve another endurance victory after winning the Rolex 24 at DAYTONA earlier this year, its fourth in five years at the season opener. With 27 points, they currently lead the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup DPi Championship over the #55 Mazda Motorsports DPi by a slim 4 point margin.

This will be Ricky Taylor’s third event at Watkins Glen driving an Acura ARX-05, and his eighth Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen overall. His resume includes one win, one pole, three podium and six top-five finishes at the six-hour endurance race.

“So far our season has been right on schedule,” said Ricky Taylor. “The team is executing well. We survived Detroit with a strong result at a track that was earmarked as one of the more difficult races for us. Now we go to Watkins Glen where we should have a very strong performance. It’s ben ten years since the No. 10 Konica Minolta team’s last win there, so it would be sweet to get another.”

Filipe Albuquerque hopes to achieve another victory at Watkins Glen International after achieving back-to-back victories in 2016 and 2017.

“Watkins Glen is a track that suits our car,” said Filipe Albuquerque. “I’m looking forward to it after being really happy of our result at Detroit. It was not a track for us, and it was a bit obvious that we did not have the same pace of the Cadillacs, but we finished with a third-place finish. We are here to win races and Watkins Glen is a track that suits our car. I hope we have the advantage in terms of speed compared to the Cadillacs and we can grab the win. It’s not always the fastest car that wins, but the team that has the least number of mistakes and leads the last lap. I’m excited about Watkins Glen especially because we had a very successful test here recently.”

Alexander Rossi joins the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura team after driving at the Rolex 24 at DAYTONA and Twelve Hours of Sebring. While Rossi has not competed at Watkins Glen in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the American won from the pole position during the 2017 NTT IndyCar Series season.

“Thrilled to get the opportunity to go back and race at Watkins Glen as it is one of my favorite tracks in the world,” said Rossi. “I wasn’t originally planning on joining WTR and Acura for this event, but I will do everything in my power to assist them on and off the track to ensure they continue to be in control of this championship.”

“The Six Hours of Watkins Glen is always one of my favorite races,” mentioned Wayne Taylor. I never won there as a driver which is disappointing, but I’ve won it as a team owner. It’s a real road course like the old days in Formula 1. We had a relatively good race in Detroit, but I’m feeling much more confident going into this one. More high speed on a track which is good for our car. We’re bringing Rossi back on board for this race, under normal circumstances we wouldn’t bring a third driver, but since it could be hot, we’ll need someone else. Ricky and Filipe do such a good job together. I can’t wait to get back.”

On-track action for the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen begins this Friday at 4:20 p.m. ET. Qualifying for the main event is set for Saturday, June 26th at 11:50 a.m. ET and will be broadcast live on IMSA.TV. Sunday’s green flag for the main event will wave at 10:40 a.m. ET, with coverage beginning on IMSA.TV at 10:35 a.m. ET – 4:40pm. ET. NBC Sports will air a tape delay from 7:00 p.m. ET – 10:00 p.m. ET on Sunday evening.

Neschen and Smooth Finish to serve as Official Partners of the RCR Graphics Center Powered by Roland

WELCOME, NC (June 22, 2021) – Today, Richard Childress Racing (RCR) unveiled a multi-year partnership with Neschen, the self-adhesive media, laminators and industrial coating solutions manufacturing company, and Smooth Finish, their North American master distributor for laminators. Neschen and Smooth Finish will become Official Partners of the RCR Graphics Center Powered by Roland and help elevate the in-house full-service design and production facility to the next level. Neschen and Smooth Finish will also serve as an associate partner for RCR’s No. 2 NASCAR Xfinity Series Chevrolet Camaro for select races later this year.

RCR Graphics Center Powered by Roland, which handles design, printing and installation for all of RCR’s business needs and wrap schemes that fans see on the race cars at the track every week, will be able to continue to raise the bar of their high-standard wrap quality through the new partnership. With the addition of Neschen and Smooth Finish laminators, the Graphics Center will be able to finish their products more quickly with a higher level of efficiency for final design touches after being printed on the Center’s Roland machines.

Neschen and Smooth Finish will also partner with RCR Graphics to showcase their laminators and its technology to prospective and current customers and dealers by hosting groups at the Graphics Center to see the equipment in use.

“Our partnership with Neschen and Smooth Finish will play a vital role in overall efficiency in production at the shop,” said Nick Woodward, manager of the RCR Graphics Center Powered by Roland. “The laminators add the finishing touches that our wraps need in a reliable manner, which then helps us get the wraps on our race cars or projects back to our customers at a quicker rate.”

Neschen and Smooth Finish first partnered together in late 2020, as Smooth Finish became the German-based laminator business’ US distribution and technical support partner.

“Neschen is excited to partner with Richard Childress Racing, one of the premier, most iconic teams in the sport,” said Darren Speizer, managing director of Neschen. “The team at Richard Childress are true professionals, in every sense of the word, and require best-in-class solutions to meet their demanding schedules and needs. We are honored that RCR recognized the quality and performance that Neschen and Smooth Finish bring to the table, and choose to forge this amazing partnership.”

“I have worked with and supported the graphics department at Richard Childress Racing for many years,” said Don Bahr, owner of Smooth Finish. “Upon collaborating with Neschen last year, I immediately recognized that bringing these parties together would prove beneficial to everyone and deliver RCR Graphics the premier finishing solutions they have been searching for. In RCR and Neschen, we have two organizations that rely on the highest quality and speed every day, and together with the support and experience of Smooth Finish LLC, we definitely have a winning team!”

3 Easy Tips to Be a Better Driver

By
SM
-

We all want to be better drivers, both for the sake of our safety and maybe a little for bragging rights. Unfortunately, in the real world, there are no driving hacks or boosts like in a video game that might give us better speed or control, and we have to level up our driving skills with time, experience, and knowledge. Here are a few things you can do right now to be a better driver for your own and others’ sake. 

Focus

This may sound like fundamentals, but one of the most important tools in your arsenal when it comes to skilled driving is your ability to focus. Distracted driving statistics show that in 2015, 3477 individuals were killed in car accidents tied to distracted drivers. This shows that not paying attention to the road is a major issue. Naturally, distracted driving relates largely to cell phone use while driving. 

It’s important to have your full attention on the road at all times. Being distracted (even if your cell phone isn’t in your hand) can lead to an accident in the blink of an eye if you’re not paying attention to your surroundings – other drivers, pedestrians, animals on the road, and the list goes on. Having your full focus where it needs to be at all times will keep your reflexes sharp and your mind ready for anything that might happen.

Know the Rules

Knowing the rules of the road makes it far easier to follow them, it’s as simple as that. Having a clear understanding (and experience) of what you can or cannot do under various circumstances will help you out in situations where you might otherwise be stressed or react reflexively. Understand when you have right of way, when you don’t, and how to handle certain situations – this is something that mainly comes from experience on the road but can be helped along by making sure you actually studied for your permit. Understand and follow road signs, adhere to the speed limit, and for goodness sake, use your turn signal. 

Get to Know Your Car

Cars can all handle very differently, and it’s important that you’re actually comfortable and familiar with your own car. If you’re fresh on the road or have a new car, make sure to spend some time getting to know how it functions. Practice emergency breaks, take it for a spin in the rain and you’ll get to know how to react (and have full faith in yourself and your vehicle) if you were to actually end up in a sticky situation.

Truthfully, the only way to achieve this in its full capacity is to drive and drive often. The more practice on the road you get, the more stressful situations you live through, and the more experience you have with other drivers on the road, the better you will become. Trust in yourself, stay calm and focused on the road at all times, and keep your car well maintained, and you’ll be leveling up in no time.

Lee Faulk Racing and Development has partnered with Toyota Racing Development.

DENVER, N.C. – (June 20, 2021) – Officials from Lee Faulk Racing and Development are excited to announce a working relationship with Toyota Racing Development (TRD).

“We’re honored to be able to work with an organization such as TRD,” said Lee Faulk Racing and Development’s Michael Faulk. “TRD has played a key role in developing some of the top future stars in motorsports and we’re excited to be able to play a small part in that process.”

Drivers who have been a part of TRD include Christopher Bell, Erik Jones, Harrison Burton, Christian Eckes and Chandler Smith, among many others.

As part of the agreement, Lee Faulk Racing and Development will field entries for two rising stars – Gracie Trotter and Kaylee Bryson – in multiple races through the end of the year.

Trotter, 19, has years of experience behind the wheel of a race car. Last season she contested the full ARCA Menards Series West schedule, becoming the first woman to win a race sanctioned by ARCA when she triumphed at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Bryson, 20, recently began the transition to asphalt after spending most of her formative years racing on dirt. She’s spent the last two seasons racing dirt midgets with Keith Kunz Motorsports, and recently made her late model debut with three victories in the Northwest.

“Gracie and Kaylee are excellent talents and they both have big upsides,” Faulk said. “Gracie has a lot of late model experience while Kaylee only recently made her late model debut. They’ve both shown a lot of talent and skill and we’re looking forward to working with both of them to help them improve on the track and grow off of it.”

Trotter will make her Lee Faulk Racing and Development debut this Friday at Ace Speedway in Altamahaw, N.C. Bryson will make her first start for the team on July 10 at Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway.

5 Amazing Reasons Why People Watch NASCAR

By
SM
-

Motorsports are popular around the world because of their nonstop action. It takes more than being courageous to drive cars at an insane speed. Racers spend their lives perfecting their craft, which is the main reason why people don’t want to miss the skilled drivers in action. NASCAR has earned a name for itself in the motorsport racing industry. Although there are many other racing tournaments, NASCAR has a different fan base, and they love EVERYTHING about this thrilling car racing competition. Here are the five main reasons why people love to watch NASCAR, so keep reading!

  1. Superb Sounds

NASCAR is all about driving cars at max speed, and it requires the full power of the engine. These amazing cars make a great sound which revs the hearts of spectators. Viewers who are lucky to enjoy the NASCAR games from the spectator seats enjoy hearing those intense engine and steering noises every second. People who don’t have the chance of enjoying the games in the real-life have the same intense experience of sounds on their TVs or smartphones. If you have the tickets to the next NASCAR show, you will have to drive there in your family car, right? You can jump over to this website to find the best Used Cars For Sale at amazing prices. 

  1. Unmatched Fame

NASCAR is not your normal racing event. Since the first NASCAR race in 1949, there has been a constant increase in the number of NASCAR fans. People enjoy the race as a one-time event and love to know every little detail about this event. NASCAR fans are crazy about staying in the loop about everything. NASCAR creates a strong sense of community. Hardcore NASCAR fans persuade other people to watch and stay informed about NASCAR, which keeps up its hype over time. 

  1. Insane Speeds

Who doesn’t like the idea of seeing skilled drivers competing with each other, driving at top speeds? One of the best things that attract millions of people towards NASCAR racing is the insane speeds of cars in the race. Drivers touch the average speeds of around 200mph, WAY above the normal speeds at which normal people drive their cars. With the insane speeds come the amazing sounds and buzz in the racing community. People are eager to see which driver will drive the fastest and who will end up losing their fame in the next NASCAR race. 

  1. Huge Respect

NASCAR fans are not some people sitting in the gladiator colosseum willing to see a person die. People know that drivers in the race are willing to put their lives at stake for meeting their racing goals. Fans understand that NASCAR drivers are there to entertain us with their skills. The respect and love for drivers make the NASCAR event a loving and emotional experience. Fans hold the drivers in high regard and become super concerned if a driver gets injured during the process. This culture of respect makes NASCAR a different game than any other in the world. 

  1. Non-stop Action

NASCAR is one of the world’s most action-packed games. Fans love every single moment of the race and keep their eyes open for the next big thing. There is intense competition among the drivers that pushes them to do their best. Racers know that they can’t reach the top position unless they push themselves to their limits. Another thing that makes a NASCAR race super interesting is that almost all cars have the same technical specs. It is up to the passion and skills of a driver to reach the top position, which spices up the action! 

Do Casino Brands Collaborate with Streamers?

By
SM
-

The long arms of technology are fast extending into every sector, activity, and business. Land-based casino gambling has migrated to online sites making them very accessible. More so, there are now numerous sites competing for the attention of their customers. To further organize the system, streamers came into the picture.

From 2015, casino streamers started to creep into the industry. However, they were not very popular until 2019. Like streamers in other sectors, casino streamers make videos of themselves while playing online casino games.

Casino Streamers

Firstly, Casino streamers are gamblers. These individuals make live videos of themselves while playing and share them with other people interested in watching. People watching casino streams do not play the games. They only observe the streamer either for entertainment, to learn the gameplay or both. 

Watching a streamer can make up for a demo play. For instance, if you want to enjoy Fishing Frenzy demo play, you can easily watch a streamer who plays the game. That way, you not only get to have an idea about the game, you equally learn a few things and ask questions if you have any.

Why Casino Brands Collaborate with Streamers

Streamers and casino brands indeed collaborate to help the market grow. They work together through affiliation or sponsorship. Through these means, streamers help to promote brands, thereby bringing more customers to them, while the brands, in turn, sponsor the creator or give some commission to him.

Reaching a large number of people and making them aware of their brand would be more difficult for online casino sites if the streamers did not exist. Streaming platforms help to bring people from different parts of the world into one space. Streamers then harness them by playing and making live videos of themselves to gain the trust and support of viewers.

Given the highly competitive nature of the casino business, every brand is screaming to be heard. The struggle for attention in the industry then causes the brands to work with streamers who have better and easy access to the audience they need. The trust casino streamers share their videos with their fans, which makes it easy to convince customers to visit a casino brand.

Where Can You Watch Casino Streamers?

Two platforms are mainly known to host casino streamers (or creators); Twitch and YouTube. However, Twitch has more subscribers for casino streaming and a more user-friendly interface. Also, these platforms are guided by specific rules.

Twitch: Twitch is the leading platform for casino streamers with over 100 million visitors and over 1.7 million registered streamers. Twitch came into the picture in 2011 and has since continued to grow and attract a massive audience. An essential feature of Twitch is that it allows viewers to interact and exchange ideas and strategies through the chat box provided.

YouTube: Recently, Youtube has also grown into a casino streaming platform. Although it is mainly known for hosting millions of videos, from personal vlogs to informative videos, it is gradually recognized for casino streaming. 

How Do Casino Streamers Earn?

As much as casino streamers do what they do just for having fun and entertainment, they spend that much time also because they get to earn from their streaming. Not surprising for an era where almost everybody is making money while having fun. Casino streamers make their money through different means:

Bonuses and Patrons 

Viewers are allowed to donate more money to the streamer if they like them enough. This is done in external services like PayPal. Viewers also earn bits for free or buy them on Twitch. With such bits, they can support their preferred streamer. 

Although each bit is equivalent to 1cent, fans usually give thousands and hundreds of them. To make it tangible, creators resort to services like patron where fans can sign up and provide a regular quantity each month, and at the end of the month, streamers get rewarded.

Subscription Fees

The exclusive chat feature on Twitch can only be accessed by viewers who have subscribed. While following a streamer is free, subscriptions cost $5 monthly. The money paid for the subscription is then shared between the platform and the creator. 

Before now, Twitch looked into the number of subscribers every creator should have, but now, followers are the point of focus.

Affiliate Marketing 

Streamers also make money through Affiliate Marketing. Usually, they link their bio to some products on online stores. Sometimes, it could be any of the gadgets they wear while playing. When viewers like these products and access them through their link, they get rewarded by the store.

 Also, they earn by directing their viewers to various casino brands where they can sign up and earn bonuses. When these fans register in these casino brands through their link, the creator gets rewarded with a commission.

Sponsorship

With sponsorship, the streamer doesn’t have to bother about advertising for stores and brands. Casino brands volunteer to sponsor streamers to play games. While they are playing, viewers get to see the logo of the brand and become curious.

Their curiosity then drives them to sign up with the site, and the streamer will most likely get a commission for every player that signs up through their casino streaming site. However, it requires a lot of commitment for a creator to get reputable sponsors. 

What You Need to Become a Streamer

The essential tools you will need to become a casino streamer are:

  • A Twitch account or YouTube live channel through which you can reach a wide range of audiences.
  • Streaming software. You can use the open broadcast software. It is free
  • A computer and an internet connection
  • A microphone to help you communicate effectively with your audience while you play
  • A webcam. Not that you must show your face, but it helps for better interaction with your audience.

Conclusion

The online casino is gaining popularity by the day. Many people are beginning to enjoy the comfort of gambling within the convenience of their homes. However, the competition in the casino business is as stiff as a stick. 

That’s why different brands collaborate with casino streamers, especially those with a large following, to create much-needed awareness for their brand. This, in turn, helps the growth of online casinos.

Top 4 Essential Truck Accessories

By
SM
-

Are you trying to run a trucking business? If the answer is yes, besides the fleet, you will have to purchase essential truck accessories, such as a 4×4 UTE tray at ezToolbox, so you can transform the fleet into a multi-purpose truck. Here is the essential truck accessory that can boost the potential of your fleet as well as your trucking business.

A Winch

A winch is a sturdy cable that can be powered by the truck’s engine or the battery. The winch, equipped with a strong winch steel cable, is an essential accessory for a trucking company that helps the truck carry and move around heavy loads. Typically, the winch requires a professional installation. However, if the trucking company deals with haystacks and heavy logs, you can immensely benefit from the costs of the winch. Hence, see it as a one-time investment as it will allow you to make the best of this essential tool. This tool is also quite useful when it comes to freeing a stuck car or tractor.

A Bed Extender

While the accessories heavily depend on the purpose of your trucking business, nothing can go wrong with a bed extender, serving as the perfect space extension and giving you some extra space for cargo. You might want to link the truck bed extender to the truck’s tailgate. However, by doing so, you could also potentially damage the truck, especially the tailgate area. If this is the case, you can also opt for keeping a spare tailgate so you can replace the current tailgate of your truck.

Loading Ramp

Suppose you are running a moving company. You and your team will have to load different objects onto the truck. If you want to make the loading process easier, you can benefit enormously from a loading ramp, which will make the loading (and unloading), not only easier but also safer and thus reduce the potential risks of getting injured. The best materials for constructing a ramp are aluminum or steel chequered plates. Regardless of the material, ensure the thickness of the plate is adequate to sustain the heavy load that will be transported. For this, you can compare aluminium chequer plate thicknesses online to make the optimal choice based on your requirements. The best thing about the loading ramp is that it is easy to store on the truck bed and doesn’t take up much space inside the truck.

Whatever your business is, employee safety should be the primary concern for all employers, which is why loading ramps are essential as they reduce the risks of work-related injuries while ensuring employee safety.

Tow Hooks & Tie Downs

The entire goal of a trucking company is to pick up the load and weight and move it around until it reaches its destination. However, if you don’t want the loaded objects to fall from the truck, we recommend keeping tie-down straps and solid tow hooks. Understandably, many trucks will include essential accessories that are specifically designed for securing larger objects/loads during trucking trips. The tie-down ropes that include ratchets are sturdier and more versatile. The hooks of the tie-down straps and tow hooks allow them to attach with the truck bed in a solid way, making the trip safer and more comfortable since you won’t have a fear of losing any loaded object mid-trip.

1xBet’s Guide to Safe Betting: The Do’s and Dont’s

By
SM
-

Gambling should always be regarded as a source of fun rather than a source of income. Some bettors get carried away and become addicted. Here, gambling turns from an entertaining activity into a real problem. Linked to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, a gambling addiction can become all-consuming, impacting every aspect of an individual’s life.

As a market-leading betting company, 1xBet strives to keep customers entertained while ensuring they behave responsibly at all times. Underage gambling is a crime. For this reason, 1xBet never targets its advertisements towards youngsters. Nor does 1xBet allow minors to open an account or place bets.

1xBet does run advertising campaigns. However, the company takes robust steps to ensure that the way it promotes its products is in no way misleading. For example, while 1xBet acknowledges that it is possible to win big with some of its games, the company actively explains that betting is a double-edged sword, and while there is the possibility of winning, there is also a great possibility of losing too.

To assess whether they may have a gambling problem, bettors should ask themselves the following questions:

  • Are they spending more money than they can comfortably afford on betting?
  • Are they borrowing, or even stealing money to gamble?
  • Are they spending less time with family and friends as a result of their betting?
  • Do they get offended when someone mentions their betting?
  • Do they find themselves spending a lot of time thinking about betting?
  • Are their betting activities interfering with other aspects of daily life?
  • Do they find themselves lying to cover up the amount of money they are spending?

Anyone who answers ‘yes’ to three or more of these questions should consider making changes regarding their gambling activities.

Responsible Gambling

Led by the Industry Group for Responsible Gambling, ‘Responsible Gambling Week’ is an annual event intended to create conversations about gambling between bettors, gambling establishments, and wider stakeholders, including policymakers and the general public. At its core, safe gambling means gambling without creating risk, either to the bettor or the people around them.

Responsible Gambling Week has put together some tips to help the public stay safe when gambling, advising bettors to:

  • Establish and maintain limits in terms of both time and money spent gambling
  • Only gamble what they can afford to lose
  • Avoid gambling when upset or angry
  • Bear in mind that gambling is not the solution to any problem
  • Remember that gambling should not interfere with personal relationships

As part of efforts to mitigate the risk of gambling additions, 1xBet offers a self-exclusion policy, enabling users to either close their account or restrict their gambling activities for a minimum six-month period. Once a customer chooses to exclude themselves, their account is closed until the expiry of the selected period. Users can also set a maximum deposit amount, precluding them from placing any more bets once they reach their betting limit. 1xBet warns against gambling when under the influence of either alcohol or drugs, as well as cautioning against viewing gambling as an income source, gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, and chasing losses.

Most people who bet do so safely. Nevertheless, for individuals who lose control of their gambling, this can cause significant harm. This harm is not only restricted to the gambler, but can also affect their families, friends, employers, and communities. Fortunately, responsible betting companies like 1xBet take steps to help customers keep their betting habits in check.

Note: The quotes in this article are fictional.

1. Kyle Larson: Larson won his third-straight points race, this time crushing the field at Nashville, new to the Cup series calendar.

“I’m still counting my million from winning the All-Star Race at Texas,” Larson said. “It may be the first time my accountant had to work harder than my publicist.”

2. Denny Hamlin: Hamlin had to pit for fuel late at Nashville and eventually finished 22nd.

“At this point last year,” Hamlin said, “I had 3 wins. At this point last year, Kyle Larson had one big ‘L.'”

3. William Byron: Byron took third in the Ally 400 at Nashville as Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson won.

“Kyle may be winning everything,” Byron said, “but I bet someone else will have the ‘last laugh.’ That someone else will probably be Quin Houff because he finishes last and everyone laughs.”

4. Chase Elliott: Elliott won Stage 2 and finished 13th in the Ally 400 at Nashville but was disqualified for having five loose lug nuts in post-race inspection. He was relegated to a last-place finish and had the Stage 2 win taken from him.

“In light of what Kyle Larson’s done in the last month or so,” Elliott said, “I was just happy to be able to say I won something, emphasis on was.”

5. Alex Bowman: Bowman finished 15th at Nashville, his first result outside the top 10 since Darlington in early May.

“I signed a contract extension through 2023,” Bowman said. “Add that to my list of ‘signature wins.'”

6. Joey Logano: Logano finished 10th at Nashville.

“Nashville is known as the ‘Music City,'” Logano said. “The city where I hear officially that Brad Keselowski is leaving Penske will be known as the ‘Music To My Ears City.'”

7. Martin Truex Jr.: Truex struggled all day at Nashville and finished a disappointing 23rd in the Ally 400.

“Kyle Larson led 264 of 300 laps,” Truex said. “He dominated. The Nashville victor is awarded a guitar, but let’s face it, Larson beat us like a drum.'”

8. Kyle Busch: Kyle Busch finished 11th in the Ally 400.

“I won my 100th Xfinity series race on Saturday at Nashville,” Busch said. “It feels like Kyle Larson has won his 100th Cup series race.”

9. Kevin Harvick: Harvick ran out of gas on the final lap but was able to coast to a fifth-place finish at Nashville.

“The No. 4 Chevy sported the ‘Grave Digger’ paint scheme,” Harvick said. “If you’ve been living under a rock, or in a non-mobile home, then you probably don’t know that ‘Grave Digger’ is a monster truck.”

10. Christopher Bell: Bell finished ninth at Nashville, posting his first top 10 since Richmond in April.

“NASCAR hired New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara,” Bell said. “His title is ‘growth and engagement manager.’ So, if you’re a small person looking to add muscle and find a spouse, Alvin should be able to help you.”
