Ben Rhodes survives three overtimes to win at Daytona Road Course

The Truck Series returned to Daytona International Speedway once again this week, but this time on the Daytona Road Course. There were three overtime restarts and on the second restart, Ben Rhodes was close to taking the white flag, but a late yellow flew. However, Rhodes prevailed and took home the win after starting on the pole and holding off Sheldon Creed for the win.

“It’s unbelievable,” Rhodes said about winning twice at Daytona. “I don’t have words for it. I don’t even know what to say. This is so cool. I just have to thank my team. The Bombardier Tundra was fast all day. ThorSport Racing gave me a truck that handled this year and we were fast. Rich (Luches) is a really good crew chief. It’s good to be paired up with him and all of the guys on my team. I’m just thrilled. I don’t know what to say. I’ve been on cloud nine all week, so it’s above that. I’m just so happy.”

Originally, 12-13-19 made up the 44-lap race, but three late-race yellows extended the race distance to 51 laps.

Stage 1: Lap 1 – Lap 12

Prior to the race start, NASCAR had determined a wet race for the initial green-flag since late day rain showers moved through the area, and left the track damp.

John Hunter Nemechek was fast from the get-go and dominated early on. He took the lead from pole-sitter Rhodes while Raphael Lessard and Zane Smith spun each other out in Turn 1. One caution slowed the stage with eight to go when the No. 04 of Cory Roper came to a stop in Turn 3.

The late yellow brought out a one-lap restart for the stage, but Nemechek held off Rhodes for the stage victory. Chandler Smith, Brett Moffitt, Ryan Truex, Matt Crafton, Johnny Sauter, Austin Hill, Sheldon Creed and Riley Herbst were the Top 10 finishers.

During the stage break, Nemechek stayed out to maintain the lead, but there were some penalties as Chase Purdy was penalized for a safety violation and Sam Mayer was penalized for not going to the rear in the previous restart.

Stage 2: Lap 14 – Lap 25

From the restart, last year’s Truck Series champion, Sheldon Creed, was able to nab the lead from Nemechek coming out of Turn 6 and going into Turn 1. The Californian dominated for the majority of Stage 2 until a late stage yellow came out on Lap 22. Stage 1 winner, Nemechek, came to a complete stop due to no oil pressure in Turn 10, prompting the yellow. During this, Creed was on pit road, changing from wet tires to dry tires.

As the yellow flag flew late, the stage ended under caution and 2020 Talladega winner Raphael Lessard took the stage victory. Grala, Zane Smith, Wayne Self, Gilliland, Crafton, Deegan, Creed, Purdy and Moffitt were the top 10. Rhodes was right outside the Top 10, finishing 11th.

Stage 3: Lap 27 – Lap 51

While the first two stages were relatively calm, the final stage saw five cautions. Creed was well on his way to victory but contact between Sam Mayer and Tanner Gray brought out the first overtime of the night.

On the first restart, Rhodes was able to get by Creed and was just inches away from taking the white flag before the yellow flew once again in a matter of seconds. This time, the No. 44 of Jett Noland, who was making his debut for Niece Motorsports, stopped in the grass and Austin Wayne Self came to a stop just off Turn 10.

The final overtime restart of the night was prompted by Jennifer Jo Cobb, who came to a complete stop on the frontstretch chicane. The restart came on Lap 48 with race leaders Rhodes and Creed battling hard with each other for the win. However, Rhodes was determined to hold off Creed and stretched out his lead over second place. After 51 laps, the finish came under yellow due to a truck stopped in the grass. Ben Rhodes would win his second consecutive race and give Toyota Racing their 200th Truck Series victory.

“So cool,” the Kentucky native added about getting Toyota Racing their 200th win, “200 wins for Toyota, I’m so proud to be able to get that for them. You always want to be the guy that delivers for people and I’m glad that I could be the delivery man. That’s so cool. Toyota, they’ve given so much support to us. I think that’s a big reason why we’ve been in victory lane both weeks.”

There were 10 cautions for 20 laps and nine lead changes among six different drivers.

Full of Energy: Bucked Up Energy and its sister products will continue its role as the primary partner of Graf’s No. 07 Chevrolet Camaro to kick off the 2021 Xfinity Series season. The Daytona International Speedway Road Course is the second race of 2021 but is the 24th race overall in a multi-year, multi-race deal with the former ARCA Menards Series winner.

Welcome To The Team: On February 10, 2021, Joe Graf Jr. officially announced Buffalo Bills running back Antonio Williams as an investor in his racing program this season.

Williams, 23, will be heavily involved in Graf’s day-to-day business interactions, while also playing a key role as a supporter of his racing endeavors by attending races, including this weekend’s race at the Daytona Road Course.

Together, the two are focused on Graf reaching the pinnacle of the sport, the NASCAR Cup Series in the near future.

The Challenge Is On!: Earlier this week, Antonio Williams threw a challenge at JD Motorsports driver Ryan Vargas and NFL Saints running back Alvin Kamara who is backing Vargas’s race with his The Big Squeezy brand.

If Joe Graf Jr. finishes higher than Vargas’s No. 6 Chevrolet Camaro in Saturday afternoon’s race, Vargas and Kamara will have to make a donation to Graf’s charity of choice, myFace, a leading nonprofit focused on providing the comprehensive care, education and information to help people with craniofacial differences lead full and productive lives.

If Ryan Vargas finishes higher than Graf’s No. 07 Bucked Up Energy Chevrolet Camaro, Williams and Graf will pledge a donation to Vargas’ charity of choice, Son of a Saint, a nonprofit founded in 2011 by Sonny Lee, son of the late New Orleans Saints DB Bivian Lee whose mission is to transform the lives of fatherless boys.

BRISTOL GETS IT DIRTY. FOOD CITY AND TIDE GET IT CLEAN WITH RICHARD PETTY MOTORSPORTS

WELCOME, N.C. (February 19, 2021)—In anticipation of the first time in more than 50 years the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) schedule will include a dirt race, Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) announced today a partnership with Food City and Tide at a press conference at the Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway. As part of the agreement, the No. 43 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will carry the Tide brand as the primary partner in the NASCAR Cup Series Food City Dirt Race at the Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday, March 28 with driver Erik Jones.

As part of Bristol Motor Speedway’s 60th anniversary celebration in 2021, the half-mile, high-banked concrete oval will be transformed into a state-of-the-art dirt racing facility for the Food City Dirt Race. The event will mark the first time the NASCAR Cup Series will compete on dirt in the sport’s modern era.

“The Food City Dirt Race marks the first time that the NASCAR Cup Series has competed on dirt since 1970 at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, N.C., when Richard Petty took home the checkered flag,” Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer, said. “How awesome is it that we have the opportunity to serve as the primary partner of the iconic Richard Petty Motorsports No. 43 Chevrolet Camaro for the running of this historic event at the Bristol Motor Speedway.”

This is the first time a dirt track has been put down for any race at The Last Great Colosseum in over 20 years, and it will likely be the most anticipated.

“We are so proud to have Food City and Tide to partner with Richard Petty Motorsports for the Food City Dirt Race,” Jones said. “Tide has such a rich history in this sport, and I am honored to continue the legacy as a driver behind-the-wheel of the No. 43 Tide Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.”

Tide’s unmistakable logo, the distinctive orange-and-yellow bulls-eye, is on the hood and will adorn Jones No. 43 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for the circuit’s return of dirt track racing. The paint scheme was inspired by Tide’s rich history in NASCAR, with its classic bright paint scheme. The addition of Petty Blue, one of the most iconic colors in NASCAR, is a fresh addition to the classic design that has adorned the hoods in the past with Darrell Waltrip, Ricky Rudd and Ricky Craven.

As part of the partnership, Tide is partnering with Food City and Richard Petty Motorsports at the Bristol Motor Speedway to bring NASCAR fans “The Ultimate Dirt Race” Sweepstakes. Three first place winners will each receive one $1,500 Best Buy gift card to be used toward the purchase of a new washer/dryer. Three second place winners will each receive one $500 Best Buy gift card, and three third place winners will each receive free Tide for a year.

The 24-year-old Byron, Michigan, native has eight starts in the NASCAR Cup Series at the .533-mile track. Jones collected the pole award at the Bristol Motor Speedway in August 2017, and has posted four top-five finishes and four top-10 finishes, recording 293 laps led. In addition, Jones has notched two wins (2016, 2017), three top-five finishes, and four top-10 finishes in six career starts at Northeast Tennessee’s “The World’s Fastest Half-Mile” in the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS). He has one start (2015) in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) at Bristol Motor Speedway.

The Food City Dirt Race at the Bristol Motor Speedway will be broadcast live on FOX on Sunday, March 28 at 3:30 p.m. (ET). It will also broadcast live on the Performance Racing Network (PRN) and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Brett Moffitt Starts From Pole at Daytona Road Course After Best-Ever Xfinity Finish

Brett Moffitt and the Quartz Hill Records / Nate Barnes No.02 Chevrolet will start from the pole this Saturday in the Super Start Batteries 188 at the Daytona Road Course. This will mark the first ever race that Our Motorsports will take the initial green flag from the pole position in a NASCAR Xfinity Series race. This Saturday’s race will come off of an exciting best-ever finish of  2nd for the No.02 Our Motorsports team last week at the season opening race at Daytona. 

Sponsor Quartz Hill Records will be represented in a yellow, red, and black scheme highlighting  fast-rising country artist Nate Barnes with the hood adorning the artwork for his debut single,  “You Ain’t Pretty.” Barnes’ “You Ain’t Pretty” has already earned over 14 million TikTok streams and debuted as the #2 Most Added Country Song in the U.S. this week.  Quartz Hill Records is a Nashville-based record label helmed by former BBR Music Group Benny Brown, former BBR Music Group CFO Paul Brown, and hit songwriter Jason Sellers. 

Looking back at last week: 

Last week, Moffitt finished in the runner-up position at the biggest race of the season, which was already a big story for the Chris Our owned team, but the team also recorded its first ever stage win in the second stage at Daytona. Crew Chief Joe Williams put the team in a position to win late in the race, with the No.02 leading six laps total and only 0.104 seconds short of the victory. That finish marks Moffitt’s best-ever finish in his 33rd Xfinity Series start, and Our  Motorsports’ best finish in just their second-ever season. 

In his words: 

Driver Brett Moffit

“I really like the new course at Daytona. I had a good run in the trucks there last year and Andy  Lally had a phenomenal run with Our Motorsports last year, so my expectations are very high for this weekend. I know there will be a lot of eyes on us after our strong run last weekend and we want to do all we can to keep impressing. Starting from the pole, even through a random draw, shows that we are running with the people we want to be racing each week and shows just how hard our team has worked to continue improving our program. I’m excited to get this  No.02 Chevy on track for Quartz Hill Records and I hope everyone checks out Nate Barnes’ music, it means a lot to have them supporting our team.” 

Past Results at the Daytona Road Course for Our Motorsports: 

Last year, in the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ only-ever race at the Daytona Road Course, Andy Lally piloted the 02 Chevrolet for Our Motorsports, starting 6th and finishing 5th. This year, Lally will be piloting the No.99 Energy Air Inc Chevrolet for BJ McLeod Motorsports with technical assistance from Our Motorsports, with Moffitt running the full season in the No.02 Chevy.

Tune in: The NASCAR Xfinity Series and Our Motorsports are headed back to Daytona International  Speedway this week for the Super Start Batteries 188 on Saturday, February 20th for the first road course race of the season. Fans can catch the action on FS1, MRN/Sirius XM NASCAR, and other local radio affiliates at 5pm and by following Our Motorsports on social media.

Sato Unveils Image on Borg-Warner Trophy during Online Show at IMS

INDIANAPOLIS, Friday, Feb. 19, 2021 – 2020 Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge winner Takuma Sato joined an elite club of drivers to have their image on the Borg-Warner Trophy at least twice, unveiling his likeness Friday, Feb. 19 during an online show at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

Sato, from Tokyo, became the first Japanese driver to win “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” in 2017 and repeated the feat last August while driving for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. He is one of just 20 drivers to win the race at least twice in its 104 editions.

The Borg-Warner Trophy Unveiling Special was a highlight of 100 Days festivities Friday, as Race Day for the 105th Indianapolis 500 is Sunday, May 30 – exactly 100 days from today. Joining Sato in person in the ceremony were team co-owners Bobby Rahal and Mike Lanigan, BorgWarner Global Director of Marketing and Public Relations Michelle Collins and IMS President J. Douglas Boles.

Rahal Letterman Lanigan co-owner and late night TV icon David Letterman and Japanese Ambassador to the United States Koji Tomita saluted Sato via video messages.

Sato’s image was created once again by sculptor William Behrends, who has crafted the sterling silver, bas relief images of all winners for the trophy since 1990.

“I am thrilled to once again have my face become a permanent fixture on the Borg-Warner Trophy,” Sato said. “William’s work is extraordinary, and it is amazing how much detail he can fit into the sterling silver sculptures. The effort he puts into making each individual winners’ personality and character is quite special, and it was an honor to experience this thorough and remarkable process once again.”

Commissioned in 1935, the sterling silver trophy stands more than 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs approximately 110 pounds, honoring every winner since 1911 with their sculpted faces affixed to the iconic trophy.

Through a multi-phase process, Behrends begins creating the likeness of the drivers based on a series of 360-degree photos. He then invites the winning driver, in this case Sato, for an in-person session to produce a full-scale clay model of his face.

The life-size clay image is used as a reference when Behrends works on the smaller model, which is created out of a mixture of oil-based clays. The clay model is eventually turned into a mold and then cast in wax, which is sent out to a jeweler to be transformed into sterling silver. Behrends ends his process by polishing and buffing the image before attaching it to the Borg-Warner Trophy.

“The Borg-Warner Trophy is a revered tradition of the motorsport community, and BorgWarner is pleased to carry on its incredible legacy,” said Frédéric Lissalde, president and CEO, BorgWarner Inc. “It is our honor to be a part of the unveiling of this year’s trophy, even more so following a tumultuous year that has taught us much about perseverance. Takuma’s hard work and dedication to his sport is outstanding, and on behalf of all of BorgWarner, we extend our congratulations to him for his second badge of honor on this trophy that represents the pinnacle of performance for open-wheel racing.”

Fans cheered Sato from their homes during the 104th Indianapolis 500 on Aug. 23, 2020, as there was no spectator attendance at the race due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sato averaged 157.824 mph and led 27 of 200 laps.

Later this year, Sato will receive a BorgWarner Championship Driver’s Trophy, also known as a “Baby Borg,” which is a miniature replica of the Borg-Warner Trophy that will feature a duplicate of his sterling silver image. Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing will also receive a memento commemorating the victory: the BorgWarner Championship Team Owner’s Trophy.

Let the challenge begin (Joe Graf Jr. vs. Ryan Vargas)

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.: Two of the National Football League’s toughest running backs Antonio Williams and Alvin Kamara will see their two NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers Joe Graf Jr. and Ryan Vargas battle it out on the track in Saturday’s Super Start Batteries 188 at the Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway Road Course all for a good cause.

On Wednesday, Kamara, the running back for the New Orleans Saints announced a partnership for the second Xfinity Series race of the season with Vargas and JD Motorsports with Gary Keller.

Williams, who announced last week that he has become a personal investor in the future of Joe Graf Jr.’s NASCAR career challenged Kamara and Vargas through a social media post that the top finishing driver in the 52-lap race would pledge a donation to a charity of each team’s choice.

If Graf Jr., finishes higher than Vargas’s No. 6 The Big Squeezy Chevrolet, Vargas and Kamara have agreed to make a donation to Graf’s charity myFace, a leading nonprofit focused on providing the comprehensive care, education and information to help people with craniofacial differences lead full and productive lives.

If Vargas finishes higher than Graf’s No. 07 Bucked Up Energy Chevrolet, Graf and Williams will proudly make a donation to Vargas’s charity, Son of a Saint, a nonprofit founded in 2011 by Sonny Lee, son of the late New Orleans Saints DB Bivian Lee whose mission is to transform the lives of fatherless boys.

William’s mission is to continue to bring the two worlds of the NFL and NASCAR together and encourage other players to consider investing in the sport he has enjoyed since childhood.

“This idea came together really quickly, but I thought what a better way to welcome Alvin into NASCAR than with a friendly challenge between the two of our drivers,” Williams said. “Joe and Ryan have raced many races together – but this weekend it will be a little more important not just for points, but the chance to give to others who work tirelessly to make a difference.”

On the heels of a career-best 11th place finish at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on Feb. 13, Graf is ready for the task at hand and hopes his experience at the 14-turn road course last August will pay dividends on Saturday.

“I love being a part of ideas like this,” added Graf. “I’m not a road course expert by any means, but when there is a challenge on the line, I’m all in.

“I’m doing my part to adequately prepare myself to have a good weekend not only for my team and partners – but an extra incentive to bring a contribution and exposure to myFace too. Looking forward to Saturday afternoon.”

Graf will start Saturday’s race from ninth, while Vargas is scheduled to roll off 12th.

The Super Start Batteries 188 (52 laps | 187.72 miles) is the third of 33 NASCAR Xfinity Series races on the 2021 schedule. The 40-car field will take the green flag on Sat., Feb. 20, 2021, shortly after 5:00 p.m. with live coverage on FOX Sports 1, the Motor Racing Network (Radio) and SiriusXM NASCAR Channel 90.

CHEVY NCS AT DAYTONA ROAD COURSE: Chase Elliott Teleconference Transcript

TEAM CHEVY PRESS CONF. TRANSCRIPT
FEBRUARY 19, 2020

CHASE ELLIOTT, NO. 9 NAPA AUTO PARTS CAMARO ZL1 1LE, Press Conference Transcript:

AS WE GO TO THE ROAD COURSE THIS WEEKEND, IF YOU WERE A FAN, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TUNE IN AND WATCH THIS RACE?
“Typically, road racing I feel like gives you a little bit of everything. The challenges that we see on road courses is just different than the typical oval track that we go to. And a lot of times, it’s exciting, too. People are trying to get every inch of the track and as we saw last week, running through the dirt trying to make it work. Just something a little different; a little bit of a change of pace, which I think is nice from the regular ovals.”

WHEN PREPARING FOR THIS RACE, DO YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT VIDEO FROM THE LAST LAP OF THE CLASH OR IS IT TOO RAW AND TOO MEMORABLE STILL IN YOUR HEAD TO NOT RE-LIVE IT?
“I haven’t really studied it, but I know what happened. I don’t get emotional watching it. It’s one of those things that it happened, it’s over with. I hate the result, but yeah you have to learn from it. I think there’s a lot of things I can learn from last week. I think we can be better, from a balance standpoint. I think I can be better behind the wheel. And then obviously, if you get put in those situations like that, how would you go about it differently to have a different result. And I think that’s kind of the big question from last week – what do you do different, right. The bottom lane was there, was kind of in there, and I don’t know exactly how to change up my approach there to better my chance of winning. So, yeah, all those things I’ve thought through. If we’re faced with it again, we’ll see how it goes.”

JOEY LOGANO AND HIS TEAMMATE HAVEN’T TALKED YET, BUT THEY WILL WORK IT OUT LIKE A MARRIAGE HE SAID. HAVE YOU AND (RYAN) BLANEY TALKED? DOES THAT MAKE IT HARDER ON THE TRACK? SOME PEOPLE JUST DON’T WANT TO HAVE FRIENDS ON THE TRACK FOR THAT REASON.
“Yeah, we’ve talked – we’re fine. It doesn’t fix his race car from last weekend and it certainly doesn’t fix his result. And I understand that, for sure. I’ve been there and I get it. Look, if you’re going to wreck somebody on purpose to win a race, typically that person wins, right. Just the way it all worked out – I hate that neither one of us won the race. If I can’t win, I would love to see him win, and I think he feels the same way. I think he would even still feel the same way after last week.”
“Yeah, we’re fine. We both hate the result; I hate it as much as he does and did. But it’s racing and we’re racing for wins. That’s a great problem to have. If he and I wrecked racing for 15th, that would be one thing. But if he and I are racing for wins and mistakes happen or somebody gets a bad end of it just because that’s the way it worked out, you really look at the big picture. That’s not all bad, if he and I are having the opportunities to win races. So, that’s the high spot for me and hopefully we’ll have more chances to have a good finish and not have that happen.”

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHEN PEOPLE SAY ‘IF YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE THE MOVE, YOU BETTER WIN THE RACE’, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MAKE THE MOVE IF YOU’RE GOING TO WIN THE RACE.
“Well, you certainly put yourself in a better position sometimes than others, if you’re just going to flat-out crash a guy to win. I would say most of the time, the intent is not there to crash the guy; it’s somebody being aggressive and maybe being a little too aggressive, or lanes come together or whatever it may be. So, I don’t know that the intent is there very often for a person to just crash somebody and win. But yeah, if you’re going to do it on purpose, yeah – clean him out and keep trucking, I mean, I guess. That’s, I assume, how someone would go about it if you were going to do it on purpose. But yeah, I was trying to get next to him and get beside him, not run through his back bumper. I think that was the big difference in that situation.”

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THE SAME SPOT, GIVEN WHAT HAPPENED, DO YOU FIND YOURSELF MORE RELUCTANT TO GO IN THERE AGAIN OR DO YOU SAY – LOOK I’VE STUDIED IT, I THINK I CAN HAVE A BETTER APPROACH. I’VE LEARNED SOMETHING FROM IT SO I CAN JUST BARGE IN THERE AND TRY?
“Like I said after the race, if I’m not trying to win, then what am I doing. And I think that’s pretty cut and dry, right. So, if the lane’s there for me and you’re coming to the checkered flag, I think you have to give yourself a chance to win in that situation. Me riding behind him through that chicane and not trying to get next to him on entry was one hundred percent not going to allow me to win. There was no way I was following him through there and going to get in the gas, have better drive off the corner with my older tires to the line; that wasn’t happening. So, I knew that and I felt like my best chance was to get next to him on entry and try to get up beside him. It didn’t work out, but situations change. You might be on offense; you might have a better tire than the guy ahead of you that tends to lend better drive off. If you’re on offense in that situation, then maybe you do something a little different. But in that situation last weekend, my best chance was to get next to him on entry and that’s what I did.”

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO A TEAM TO GET AN EARLY WIN; GET ONE OUT OF THE WAY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE?
“I mean you never know, right? Phoenix could have been my last. I don’t know and nobody does, right? You have to enjoy all of them as if they are your last and that’s always going to be my approach in this stuff; they’re too hard to get. I don’t get picky on race wins; they’re too hard to win and you never know when they can or won’t come. So, whenever, wherever, however – I think you have to enjoy them. I think you can go on a good run late in the season just as you can early in the season.”

THE LAST LAP OF THE DAYTONA 500 – IF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOU AND ANOTHER HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS GUY, HOW DO YOU THINK THE EXPECTATIONS WOULD BE FOR THE TWO TEAMMATES TO RACE?
“I don’t think it has anything to do with the team you drive for; I think it has to do with the individual and how that person races. So, I don’t think it would have mattered if you were at wherever – Hendrick, Penske or wherever. I think that has more to do with the driver than it does the owner.”

CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT IT IS THAT DRIVERS LIKE SO MUCH ABOUT THE TRACK AT HOMESTEAD FOR NEXT WEEK?
“I think the biggest thing that everybody likes is running up by the wall; that’s the thing that’s kind of cool and not a lot of tracks let you do that. A lot of times, the track isn’t symmetrical enough to run that close to it for that period of time. It might have little sections of the wall that might dip in or out and when that happens, it makes it really hard to run right by it because it’s hard to follow a curve in the wall. But Homestead is a place where the wall is super symmetrical and the track is symmetrical. And progressive banking too, which I think all those things kind of give you options on lanes to run and something a little different from the normal.”

REFERRING TO JENNA’S QUESTION, YOU TALKED ABOUT IT’S NOT REALLY A TEAM THING, IT’S A DRIVER THING. SO, WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THE BLOCKING DEBATE?
“That’s so tough, right. I’ll put it to you like this – the best example is last year; the reason Denny (Hamlin) won the Daytona 500 was because he didn’t throw a massive block. So, you do the math there.”

CAN YOU WIN WITHOUT BLOCKING? CAN IT GO EITHER WAY OR IS IT JUST THE INDIVIDUAL SITUATION?
“Well, I think the situation was pretty similar; go watch the last lap of the 2020 (Daytona) 500. Denny (Hamlin) had a massive run coming to his back bumper. He picked the lane he wanted to go to and ultimately put himself back on offense within a couple of seconds and gave himself a shot back around at the line.”

ALAN (GUSTAFSON, CREW CHIEF) SAID YESTERDAY THAT LOOKING BACK AT THE CLASH, YOU GUYS WEREN’T AS GOOD AS YOU NEEDED TO BE; EXECUTION AND STRATEGY WAS PRETTY POOR, I THINK WERE HIS WORDS. SO, WHAT WERE THE LESSONS TAKEN FROM THE CLASH, CONSIDERING THAT IT’S A DIFFERENT TIRE AND A DIFFERENT AERO-PACKAGE THAN WHEN YOU WON HERE AND RAN HERE IN AUGUST?
“Yes, I agree with him. I don’t think we were as good as we needed to be last week. I think the No. 19 (Martin Truex Jr.) was going to be the guy in that race last weekend. Yeah, I think we can improve in multiple areas. I think we can make our car better. I think we can do better on pit road and I can do better on pit road. And I think I can do better on the track, too. Yeah, I don’t think we were at our best by any means.”

THE CHANGES THAT NASCAR MADE TO THE BACKSTRETCH CHICANE – THEY SAID THEY MADE THOSE IN RESPONSE TO DRIVERS. WHERE YOU CONSULTED AND, ALSO, DO YOU THINK THEY WERE NEEDED AND WHAT KIND OF IMPACT DO YOU THINK IT WILL HAVE ON THE RACE?
“No, I try not to get involved in that stuff. If there’s dirt on the track, don’t run through the dirt – that’s pretty simple. As long as there’s grass there, I’d say there’s going to be dirt underneath it. But yeah, I think in short turn, they did a great job it looked like from the pictures I saw of trying to have a fix to it. I think we should all respect and give props to Chip (Wile) and everyone at Daytona for putting in the time and the effort to try to have a solution in that short period of a time. So, I think it’ll be good.”

YOU DON’T THINK IT WILL IMPACT THE RACING TOO MUCH?
“I don’t think you’ll be able to tell much of a difference, to be honest. There might be a little less dirt on the track, but I don’t think the race will change.”

Op-Ed: The time has come to safely wave the green flag

South Boston, Va. (Feb. 15, 2021) — The sound of race cars mute. The smell of rubber and high-octane fuel faint. That has been the case for the last year at South Boston Speedway.

Just under 12 months ago, historic South Boston Speedway went from gearing up for its next season of thrilling motorsports action to a complete shutdown. Aside from a few private testing sessions, the South Boston, VA racetrack affectionately known as “SoBo” sat idle throughout all of 2020.

The track tried numerous times to safely fire the engines, under numerous different health and government regulations, to no avail. Many times, getting within days of an advertised event only to have to send out cancellations at the eleventh hour.

Now, almost a year later, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Vaccines to fight the COVID-19 virus have made record pace getting out, with millions of people already receiving a shot in the arm.

Now it’s time to wave the green flag… and it can be done in a safe and socially distanced manner.

South Boston Speedway has spent the past year planning to fire the engines. Countless gallons of sanitizer have been purchased and multiple plans are ready to be put into action to safely welcome race fans and competitors back to the track.

South Boston Speedway is a medium-sized venue. The .4-mile track has various types of seating around the facility including thousands of grandstand seats, hundreds of feet of bring-your-own chair seating, arm lengths upon armlengths of standing room and 70 trackside tailgating spaces where a person never has to leave the enclosure of their car. South Boston Speedway has plenty of room with which to safely handle more than the 250-person capacity currently permitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The ask is simple: a percentage-based capacity limit. The percentage-based plan will allow South Boston Speedway to operate again, something that the 250-person limit prohibits because of the financial strain such a small crowd puts on the venue’s operations.

South Boston Speedway has – and always will be – a major part of this community. The venue welcomes families from across the region and from surrounding states to every event. It is one of Halifax County’s core tourism venues and brings in significant tax dollars for the locality and the commonwealth, something that is desperately needed right now.

Letting racing return will also bring much-needed mental healing to our region and state. Let’s throw the green flag on letting racing return while waving the checkered flag on a year of mental anguish and strife.

We at South Boston Speedway stand ready to help heal the community. And we mean it. If our region needs space for vaccination distribution, our 40 acres are wide open to help. If students need to access our front parking area to gain Wi-Fi access, we want to help.

We commit to taking the proper steps outlined by the commonwealth, its health experts, government officials and our fellow sports venues to provide the safest possible environment for our fans, competitors and partners. All we ask is to let us race.

CarParts.com Returns as Major Partner with Front Row Motorsports

Company Continues Partnership with Daytona 500 Champion Michael McDowell

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (February 19, 2021) – The celebration of Michael McDowell’s Daytona 500 win continues today with CarParts.com (NASDAQ: PRTS) announcing their continued partnership with McDowell and Front Row Motorsports (FRM). CarParts.com now becomes an integral part of the team and McDowell’s 2021 season, including full season associate branding and primary partner sponsorship at four races.

CarParts.com will be the primary scheme on the No. 34 Ford Mustang beginning at the Watkins Glen road course on August 8 and followed by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on August 25, the return of McDowell to the Daytona International Speedway on August 28, and the NASCAR Playoff race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on September 26.

CarParts.com offers an easy-to-navigate, mobile-friendly shopping platform, connecting drivers with the parts they need to get from point A to point B with confidence. The company has delivered over 50 million parts across America and now count the 2021 Daytona 500 champion as a loyal customer. Last year, CarParts.com and McDowell partnered to make updates to his Ford F-150 with various parts through a video install series, including a tonneau cover, exhaust system, and brakes.

“The story of Michael McDowell winning the Daytona 500 mirrors CarParts.com’s story,” said Houman Akhavan, Chief Marketing Officer of CarParts.com. “Both of us were building a really strong foundation under the radar. Both of us were building great teams. He was building a great car, and we were building a great company. Then, one day, everyone who had overlooked both of us realized that we were a force to be reckoned with.”

Last season, CarParts.com partnered with FRM and McDowell on various promotions, sweepstakes, contests, and other activities to get more involved in the sport and spark engagement with NASCAR fans. One event in particular—when McDowell and Darrell “Bubba” Wallace, Jr. made contact on the track during the All-Star race—led to a cascade of charitable contributions after CarParts.com bid on the bumper involved, including donations of $20,034 to Motor Racing Outreach in McDowell’s name, another $20,043 to Victory Junction in Wallace’s name, and finally the bumper itself to a NASCAR fan. Both CarParts.com and FRM are excited to find more ways to connect with fans during the 2021 season.

“It’s great to have CarParts.com back with us in such a big way,” said McDowell. “We always knew they were with us, part of the family and supporting us. Now we can do something even bigger and better as we start our season. We have all year to spread the word about CarParts.com to NASCAR fans. I’ve used their site and it’s easy. They have every part you need. It’s just awesome to see this come together and I can’t wait to see what they have planned for us.”
