More Run Groups Eligible and Expanded On-Track Schedule for Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) at Finger Lakes Invitational with Masters Historic Racing at Watkins Glen, July 9 – 11

By
Official Release
-
  • Expanded Schedule Now Includes all HSR Classes in Run Groups 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10
  • Groups 9 and 10 Open to Cars Not Within Host Masters Historic Racing/Masters Endurance Legends Eligibility Criteria
  • Test Day, Thursday, July 8, Precedes Three Full Days of Practice, Qualifying and Races, July 9 – 11, on The Glen Grand Prix Circuit

WATKINS GLEN, New York (May 10, 2021) – Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) officials announced today that HSR has added more run groups for competition in an expanded on-track schedule of events for the Finger Lakes Invitational with Masters Historic Racing at Watkins Glen International, July 9 – 11.

The new-for-2021 race at The Glen, which was originally scheduled to debut in 2020 as part of the Finger Lakes Wine Festival, now continues as a motorsports-only event after the popular wine, art, music and culinary event was postponed recently due to the ongoing pandemic recovery.

This year’s Finger Lakes Invitational at The Glen will be open to spectators with more information on ticket pricing, camping and packages available by clicking here.

Originally set to include just Group 5 and select invitational entries from HSR’s run groups, the unfortunate postponement of the Wine Festival two years in a row has once again freed up the event’s time schedule and track space to bring more HSR groups and competitors to The Glen’s legendary 3.4-mile Grand Prix circuit.

An unofficial test day, Thursday, July 8, sets the stage for three full days of HSR practice, qualifying and races at The Glen.

The expanded schedule now includes all HSR Classes in Run Groups 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Giving even more HSR competitors a chance to race at The Glen, Groups 9 and 10 are open to cars that do not meet the eligibility criteria of event host Masters Historic Racing and Masters Endurance Legends.

The Masters Historic Racing Weekend at The Glen continues a successful and ongoing relationship between HSR and Masters that has been in place the last few racing seasons.

The annual “HSR Classics” at Daytona International Speedway and Sebring International Raceway both featured Masters entries competing for overall and series honors in several different run groups.

In order for HSR to set the event schedule, competitors are requested to register in advance for the Finger Lakes Invitational as soon as possible through the online portal, which is available by clicking here.

Next up for HSR is the HSR Barber Historics at Barber Motorsports Park, May 20 – 23. The provisional weekend schedule, competitor entry details and additional information is now available on the official event page by clicking here.

About HSR: Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) was formed in the mid-1970s with an event at Road Atlanta. There was one goal then and it remains true today: to celebrate the race cars from the past. As a “time machine” of sights and sounds, HSR provides a venue for competitors and spectators alike to share in the wonderful history and excitement created by the cars that competed at race tracks around the world. HSR currently sanctions eight vintage and historic racing events at some of the world’s most renowned race tracks, including Road Atlanta, Sebring International Raceway, Daytona International Speedway and more.

Mid-Ohio Hosts Mazda MX-5 Cup Mid-Season

By
Official Release
-

LEXINGTON, Ohio (May 10, 2021) – The Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires season reaches its midpoint at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with Rounds 7 and 8 this weekend. Defending champion Michael Carter (No. 08 Carter Racing Enterprises) arrives to the IMSA event weekend with the points lead for the first time this season after a pair of podium finishes on the streets of St. Petersburg, something his rivals could not duplicate.

The St. Petersburg weekend caught out several championship contenders, including Gresham Wagner (No. 5 Spark Performance) and Selin Rollan (No. 87 Hixon Motor Sports), who each accrued a DNF. Though this didn’t take either of them out of the top three in the points, it did shuffle the order. Wagner is now in second, 130 points behind Carter. Rollan, in third is another 200 points adrift.

“I think it is still early to say who is in or out of the championship hunt,” Carter said. “After all, we are not even halfway through the season and as we saw at St. Pete anything can happen to anyone! I am not going to worry about points until we make the trip out west to Laguna Seca in September. I do see Gresham, Selin and myself in the hunt, but I think it is too early to narrow it down to us alone.”

Indeed, with 350 points for a race win, it’s still very much anybody’s game. When there’s a championship prize of $250,000 from Mazda (and payouts through 10th place) on the line, nobody will be conceding an inch anytime soon.

Mid-Ohio may not have the concrete walls of St. Petersburg, but that doesn’t mean its any less treacherous. Even though passing can be tricky, the 2.258-mile road course is well-loved by many drivers. Mazda MX-5 Cup has witnessed many last lap-passes for the win at Mid-Ohio, but also plenty of last lap bids for the win that ended in the gravel.

“I think we could see anything at Mid-Ohio,” Carter said. “St. Pete left a lot of people still hungry for more. You could see some desperation from some drivers, but I guess we will just have to wait and see until the opening laps. Mid-Ohio is one of my favorite tracks, so I am looking forward to getting back there.”

Wagner is also looking forward to Mid-Ohio since it holds a lot of good memories for him.

“In my first season of MX-5 Cup, Mid-Ohio was the first track I went to where I was able to confidently drive the car at its limit and feel comfortable doing it lap after lap,” Wagner said. “I was able to get my first pair of podiums at the event in 2019, and I’ve had speed and success there on every visit. I got my first MX-5 Cup win at Mid-Ohio, along with other podiums and poles. The series was there twice in 2020, and I’ve also led more laps there than any other track (60+ I believe), so I’m always confident when we go to Mid-Ohio.”

You’ll find Rollan on the other side of the spectrum when it comes to opinions on Mid-Ohio.

“I’m not a huge fan of how the track races,” Rollan said. “There’s not too many opportunities to pass and it just doesn’t seem to fit my driving style. On top of that, I’ve had some bad luck there in the past. Last season we made a lot of improvements and I’m hoping to continue to improve to land our first win there. I’m super confident in our great team and car and I think we have what it takes this year.”

Speaking of bad luck, Provision Motorsports had all of it at St. Petersburg. In qualifying, a mistake by Drake Kemper (No. 99 Provision Motorsports) caused him to hit his teammate Aaron Jeansonne (No. 24 Provision Motorsports), damaging both cars and forcing them to start at the back of both races. Kemper’s car could be fixed, Jeansonne’s could not, and the team needed to borrow another car for race day.

In Race One, a brake problem sent Kemper into the wall, ending his race and his day. In Race Two, Jeansonne’s borrowed car caught fire and he retired early. The bright spot was Jeansonne winning the Hard Charger Award in Race One. The current Mazda Shootout Scholarship recipient picked up 11 positions during the race. The award came with $1,000 for Jeansonne and $1,000 for his crew chief.

Jeansonne is part of the rookie class battling for the $80,000 Rookie of the Year prize. Chris Nunes (No. 32 JTR Motorsports Engineering) currently leads in that category, but only by 100 points over Sam Paley (No. 28 McCumbee McAleer Racing). Jeansonne is then 90 points behind Paley.

Unlike the double-race day format for the MX-5 Cup visit to St. Petersburg last month, teams will be happy to know the schedule for Mid-Ohio has a little more breathing room. With qualifying slated for Friday, the Round 7 race is Saturday, May 15, at 11:15am ET and Round 8 takes place Sunday, May 16, at 11:45am ET. Both races will be streamed live on IMSA.com and NBC Sports Gold TrackPass with commentary from IMSA Radio.

About: The Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires is the signature spec series for Mazda Motorsports. Mazda-powered grassroots champions earn a Mazda scholarship to advance their career. The Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup champion earns a $250,000 scholarship.

DARLINGTON, S.C. (May 9, 2021) – Ryan Newman picked off multiple cars during the final handful of laps in Sunday’s annual ‘Throwback’ Cup race at the ‘Track Too Tough to Tame.’ Newman powered his retro Kohler Generators Ford to a 10th-place finish at Darlington Raceway, notching his third top-10 finish of the season, and joining Roush Fenway teammate Chris Buescher – who finished ninth – in the top-10.

“That was just a great team effort by the Kohler team today,” said Newman. “Darlington is a tough race track and we battled handling for the majority of the race, but we kept plugging away at it and were able to pass some cars there at the end and bring home a solid top-10 finish.”

Newman started the race 20th and ran the majority of the 293-lap event in or around the field’s top 15. He was 13th after the conclusion of the opening stage and 15th after stage two, before breaking into the field’s top-10 on the final laps of the race.

The team worked on the cars handling, making various adjustments during the majority of the day’s pit stops, with Newman eventually finding the grip he needed on the final stretch run.

NASCAR heads to Dover International Speedway next weekend for the 13th race of the regular season. Race coverage is set for 2 p.m. ET on Sunday on FS1, and coverage can also be heard on MRN and SiriusXM Channel 90.

DiBenedetto Finishes 19th at Darlington

By
Official Release

After three straight top-10 finishes, Matt DiBenedetto and the Menards/Dutch Boy team struggled to a 19th place finish in Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway.

DiBenedetto started eighth, and moved up to sixth place in the early going. He maintained that spot until a caution flag flew at Lap 23.

From that point on the track Too Tough to Tame lived up to its reputation for the Menards/Dutch Boy team.

The No. 21 Mustang was an ill-handling beast for the remainder of the day. DiBenedetto finished 12th in the first Stage and was 17th, one lap down, at the end of the second Stage.

With no caution periods in the third and final segment of the race, there were few opportunities for the Menards/Dutch Boy team to make major chassis adjustments, and DiBenedetto crossed the finish line three laps in arrears.

“We were just way off, unfortunately,” DiBenedetto said. “We missed the set-up on our Menards/Dutch Boy Mustang and had to keep it clean and just survive the race with what we had.

“It was a tough day.”

Despite the disappointment, DiBenedetto lost just one position in the points standings to 17th, but remains tied in points with 16th place Tyler Reddick, who holds the tie-breaker of best finish this season.

Len Wood said that while the race didn’t play out as he’d hoped, the pre-race festivities did. His uncle Leonard Wood displayed for fans in attendance and for a TV audience his hand-built miniature 427-cubic-inch Ford engine. Then on the pace laps, the NASCAR Hall of Famer made three circuits at the wheel of the team’s 1971 Mercury made famous by the late David Pearson.

After that, Len and Eddie Wood were able to visit old friends they hadn’t seen since the start of the pandemic, folks like fellow team owners Jack Roush and Joe Gibbs, and Goodyear’s Stu Grant.

“We haven’t seen them in 14 months,” Len Wood said.

DiBenedetto and the Wood Brothers team now head to Dover International Speedway for next Sunday’s Drydene 400.

Menards

Martin Truex Jr. captured his third NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) win of the season on Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. Truex Jr. dominated the race by leading 248 of the 293 laps and swept both stages. This was his 30th NCS career win in 561 series starts. He is the only multi-race winner this year.

It was also the first time that a stage winner has ever claimed the checkered flag at Darlington.

“I’m extremely proud of everyone on this Auto-Owners Camry. I think this flat black is a throwback to you, Regan (Smith), when you won here. It’s really cool to throw back to Furniture Row. Hopefully, Barney Visser (owner, Furniture Row Racing) is out here watching. I know, Regan, you and I both owe him a lot, but this one is for Furniture Row. It’s pretty cool.” Truex said.

Kyle Larson closed on Truex Jr. in the closing laps but had to settle for second place, earning his seventh top-10 finish this season.

“I was surprised that I was able to get to him. I caught him really; like, I closed on pit road and then I caught him pretty quickly once we were on track. I closed right in, and actually had an opportunity to get by him in the middle of (Turns) 1 and 2, but I thought I’d stay patient and maybe get him to use his stuff up. He was just a little bit better than I was in the long runs.” Larson said.

Kansas winner Kyle Busch finished third and was pleased with the overall progress his team has made.

“Yes, solid day overall. Definitely better than some of our other 750 package races, but just missing a little bit on the long run. It seemed like we could fire off with (Martin) Truex there and hang with him a little bit. Actually, we would catch him for about five laps and then it was over. Just trying to hold on after that point. Overall, real good day.”

William Byron was fourth and Denny Hamlin finished fifth. Chase Briscoe was the highest-finishing rookie with an 11th place result.

Hamlin leads the series with 529 points. Truex (-75), Byron (-101), Joey Logano (-123) and Ryan Blaney (-124) round out the top five in the driver standings.

There were no major issues in the post-race inspection. The No. 18 (Busch), 24 (Byron), 4 (Harvick), 12 (Blaney) and 8 (Reddick) will be taken to the R&D Center for further inspection. The No. 22 (Logano) had two lug nuts not safe and secure and the No. 17 (Buescher) had one lug nut not safe and secure.

Round 3 Racing Races to Double Victory at Road America

By
Official Release
-

Elkhart Lake, Wisc. (9 May 2021) – Continuing a streak of podium appearances, the Round 3 Racing squad claimed two class victories in the GP2 and GP3 classes in the second race of the weekend at Road America.

The two class wins marks the first time in Round 3 Racing history that they have claimed the top spot in multiple classes in the same race.

No. 601 Team Sentinel Porsche Boxster

Just narrowly missing the top spot in the GP2 class on Saturday with a run to second place, Shea Holbrook, Christian Maloof and Hannah Grisham did one better with a first-place finish.

Holbrook opened the eight-hour race in the No. 601 Team Sentinel Porsche Boxster from seventh, quickly working her way up to second by the lap six when the first full-course caution appeared. Holbrook held her position in the lead GP2 pack for 55 laps before coming to pit lane for a driver change. Maloof took over the controls of the Boxster for his first stint of the day.

Close racing on the final lap of Maloof’s stint resulted in contact damaging and puncturing the rear right tire. Luckily the timing of the incident worked in the team’s favor as the No. 601 came to pit lane for a new tire, fuel and a driver change. Grisham returned to the course still in podium contention.

Running a double stint, Grisham stretched the lead of the No. 601 to five laps ahead of second place before handing the car back over to Maloof for the closing laps. Maloof brought the No. 601 Team Sentinel Porsche Boxster across the finish line in first to claim the first win of the 2021 WRL season for the No. 601 entry.

“Getting a win today in the No. 601 Team Sentinel Porsche Boxster is an amazing feeling,” said Grisham. “The Round 3 Racing crew gave us a reliable and fast car and that was critical to our result today. Only being a part of this lineup for a few races, it is such valuable experience working with Christian (Maloof), Shea (Holbrook) and the rest of the R3R lineup. I am excited that we got the win today and I know we are capable of continuing this success.”

No. 605 Hagerty Drivers Club Porsche Boxster

Like it’s sister car, the No. 605 Hagerty Drivers Club Porsche Boxster of Cole Loftsgard, Dennis Neel, Jim Ptak, and Carter Pease claimed a victory in the GP3 class – their first win of the season.

Setting the fastest lap in Race One placed the No. 605 on the class pole for Sunday’s race. Loftsgard locked in at the start of the eight-hour race settling in for a double stint. Soaring through traffic and leaving the GP3 field behind, he quickly placed a one lap gap to the rest of the field.

Like clockwork, Ptak, Neel and Pease continued to stretch the No. 605’s lead to six laps. Pease brought the Porsche Boxster to the checkered flag in first claiming the GP3 class victory.

“I knew when I got in the car I knew we had a significant lead and I focused on making smart racing decisions,” said Pease. “The win today is my first win in a sports car. I wouldn’t want this moment to be with anyone else but Round 3 Racing. They all are supportive and great people to work with and the environment is unlike any other. Daytona is just a few weeks away and I am already looking forward to being back in the No. 605 Hagerty Drivers Club Porsche Boxster.”

No. 701 Team Cooper Tires Porsche Cayman

A new race day looked up for Loni Unser, Mike Gilbert and Mo Dadkhah as the No. 701 Porsche started 11th in the GP1 field with Dadkhah behind the wheel for the race start. Late braking and quick straight line speed aided Dadkhah as he weaved his way up the running order to second by Lap 10.

Luck for the No. 701 quickly ran out as Gilbert and Unser both reported tire lock up during their stints – a result of the continuing brake gremlins. Those brake issues then forced the No. 701 back to the garages for repairs at the halfway mark.

The team went to work, and while out of podium contention, they utilized the remainder of the race to test the car with team owner Brad McCall suiting up to finish the remaining 1.5-hours on the way to an eighth place finish.

No. 702 Team Hagerty Porsche Cayman

Although starting the final eight-hour race just off the GTO class pole in second, Sarah Montgomery did not stay there long as she took over the overall lead before the first turn on the opening lap. Settling into race pace, the No. 702 slotted into third where Montgomery clicked away laps.

On Lap 49, misfortune struck the No. 702 when an exhaust issue forced the Porsche to pitlane for repairs. Quick work by the R3R crew got the car back on-track. Montgomery drove 25 more laps before handing the car over to Brad McCall.

During the second hour of McCall’s stint, trouble struck again as the rear left shock broke while in the kink – the fastest portion of the 4.048-mile course. Again the R3R crew executed repairs efficiently allowing the No. 702 to continue, although 27 laps down.

McCall finished out his four-hour stint coming to pitlane for a driver change to his father, Buz McCall, who finished the day in the No. 702 Team Hagerty Porsche Cayman bringing it home in ninth.

Round 3 Racing returns to WRL action at Daytona International Speedway on June 4-5th – the fifth round of the 2021 season for a single 14-hour endurance race.
