DiBenedetto Sees Kansas As His Kind of Track

In their first year together, Matt DiBenedetto and the No. 21 Menards/Wrangler RIGGS team have scored three top-three finishes, all on 1.5-mile intermediate tracks. There have been two runner-up finishes at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and a third-place at Kentucky Speedway.

So it’s not surprising that DiBenedetto is optimistic headed into Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400 at the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway, one of his favorites among the intermediate tracks due to its slick surface and multiple lanes.

Tracks like Kansas Speedway allow DiBenedetto to capitalize on one his driving strengths, which is gaining positions on restarts through aggressive tactics.

“Mile-and-a-half tracks are a strong point for us this year for sure,” DiBenedetto said. “The Menards/Wrangler RIGGS team has learned what feel I need, and we have gotten very strong at those type places.

“We also have had strong restarts which help us a lot.”

In his last appearance at Kansas, in July’s Super Start Batteries 400, DiBenedetto was able to make up numerous positions on restarts, taking advantage of the track’s multiple grooves, only to see his night ended when he was swept up in a chain-reaction wreck.

But that experience didn’t dampen his enthusiasm over Sunday’s race.

“Kansas is one of the most fun mile-and-a-halfs for all the lane choices you have there,” he said. “I’m looking forward to it.”

DiBenedetto and the Menards/Wrangler RIGGS Mustang will start 18th in Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400, which is set to get the green flag just after 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time with TV coverage on NBC.

Everyone’s dream is to buy a trendy car and stride around the places as they desire. But before that, it is mandatory to take up lessons from driving schools, where they learn tricks and rules of driving a car. The driving schools make the process of acquiring your driving license very easily. There are many driving schools like Drivinglessonssolihull that offer various services to their customers. But to enhance the services and offer a satisfactory level of customers, many driving schools offer various packages, which have a positive impact on the growth of the driving school. This article discusses the reasons for how a driving lesson package has a great impact on their growth in the following sections.

Impact of driving lesson packages on driving school

  1. Offers better service

Whatever may be the product, every people will look for the best products and services. So, when a driving school’s lesson package covers a wide variety of options for lesson packages, will offer the customer the flexibility to choose a package as per their requirement.

The customers will look for lesson packages that are flexible in terms of cost, time, and plan. Most of the driving school students will expect 10, 20, or 30 hours of organized driving lesson packages. 

  1. Driving school student’s effective training

A reputed driving school’s quality of service will be the best, which makes them famous. For beginners, who learn car driving for the first time, normal lesson packages cannot assure passing the road test on the first attempt. Many car accidents that are happening across the world are caused due to a lack of training. Many teenage drivers are losing their lives due to inadequate training.  

If the driving school’s lesson packages follow supervised training in driving, the driving school students will be getting an opportunity to enhance their driving ability and learn some tricks and tips that is to be followed while taking a road test. 

So, a driving school package must offer 40 hours of supervised training, of which 10 hours of training at night has to be offered. By doing so, the quality of the driving school will increase, attracting more customers. The driving schools can also offer 8, 10, 20, 30, and 40 hours of training, including night time, supervised training, as many car accidents take place at night.

  1. Scheduled training 

To attract more customers, a driving school must design a package such that the customers are free to choose their time of training so that the driving school will be able to allot a particular trainer and a vehicle in advance so that the customers will not get frustrated for delays. The driving school must also offer pick-up and drop service to keep up the time slot as asked by the customers. 

By following such practices, the driving school can get many customers, and hence they can proper even if they offer services at low rates. By offering scheduled packages, the driving school can easily keep a note of when, where, and how many hours are training has to be offered, without any stress and at the same time attract more customers and earn more money. 

  1. Profits will raise

Generally, whatever type of business you start, it will be able to prosper only if the business satisfies their customer. Similarly, a driving school can prosper, as the lesson packages they offer are convenient, useful, and flexible to the driving school students. A driving lesson package can offer the following choices:

  • The single lesson for $75
  • Three lesson package for $200
  • Five lesson package for $ 300
  • State requirement of 6 hours of training as well a road test for $425
  • State requirement of 12 hours of training as well a road test for $650
  • 86 hours of the full package that covers training, observations that come for 3-4 months for $2400
  1. Packages attract more referrals.

The lesson packages offered by driving schools help in creating a healthy student and instructor relationship. This will help the students to learn effectively and quickly, and the instructor can also be successful and make the driving school successful. The driving school students, upon reaching their satisfactory level, will talk about the quality of the driving school to their friends and family. This will circulate to all, thereby attracting more customers and, at the same increase the income of the driving school.

Thus this article has discussed the impact of the driving lesson package on the driving schools, where the driving schools can prosper and earn a good name and money. For getting to know more about the services offered by the best driving school, visit Driving Lessons Solihull.

Speedway Media mourns the passing of Ed Coombs

Speedway Media (SM) is saddened by the loss of one of our founding members, Ed Coombs. Ed was instrumental in the early stages of SM for gathering and developing the resources, relationships, and respect among the NASCAR community. He fought hard every day to make online coverage recognized and respected during times in the early 2000s when online coverage was not. Ed’s hard work eventually paid off and SM and many other outlets have him, in part, to thank.

Ed loved photography and NASCAR was a part of it. You can view some of Ed’s great shots that span over two decades on our photography page here.

Along with photography Ed also contributed his thoughts throughout the season. His weekend stories and opinions can be viewed here.

Ed helped out as an editor and publisher when needed, but he was our credential guy for 20 years. If you ever needed an opinion or just a straight answer, Ed was the guy. His support, advice, and encouragement were integral to the success of Speedway Media. Ed, you will be greatly missed.

Ed’s Facebook post.

Sending our heartfelt condolences out to the entire Coombs family during this time. Ed, we will never forget you, RIP my friend.

The funeral and memorial details have not been finalized at the time of this post. We will update the arrangements when they become available.

LaJoie to achieve 150 starts across NASCAR at Kansas

Photo by Tim Jarrold for SpeedwayMedia.com.

A significant milestone is in the making for Corey LaJoie, driver of the No. 32 Go Fas Racing Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Cup Series. By taking the green flag in this weekend’s Cup Series Playoff race at Kansas Speedway, LaJoie will reach 150 starts across NASCAR’s top three major division series. 

A native of Kannapolis, North Carolina, and the son of two-time NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Randy LaJoie, Corey’s first appearance within NASCAR’s three major division series was the 2013 Xfinity Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November. By then, he was a development competitor for Richard Petty Motorsports and he had won six career races in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and three in the ARCA Racing Series. Driving the No. 9 Ford Mustang for RPM, LaJoie finished 34th in his debut after being involved in an early accident. 

LaJoie’s racing schedule in 2014 expanded, as he made his first two starts in the NASCAR Truck Series with RBR Enterprises and five starts in the Xfinity Series with Biagi-DenBeste Racing. His best result in the Truck Series was 10th at Bristol Motor Speedway in August and his best result in the Xfinity Series was 16th at Kentucky Speedway in June. He also made his first two career starts in the NASCAR Cup Series with Randy Humphrey Racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in September and at Charlotte Motor Speedway in October.

Following a one-year absence from NASCAR, LaJoie returned in 2016 and competed in 10 Xfinity Series races with JGL Racing. His best results during his 10-race slate were a 10th-place result at Bristol in August and a sixth-place result at Dover International Speedway in October. 

The following season, LaJoie joined forces with BK Racing as a part-time Cup Series competitor. During the first Can-Am Duel race at Daytona International Speedway in February, LaJoie rallied from being involved in a controversial wreck with Reed Sorenson, whom LaJoie wrecked in the closing laps, to finish 16th and earn a transfer spot in the Daytona 500 a few days later. LaJoie went on to finish 24th in his first Daytona 500 appearance.

Throughout the 2017 season, LaJoie competed in 32 of 36 Cup races while earning a best result of 11th place at Daytona in July and an average result of 30.2. He also competed in six Xfinity races with JGL Racing and earned a best result of 15th place (twice).

In 2018, LaJoie joined TriStar Motorsports as a part-time Cup competitor. He competed in 23 of 36 races with the team, earning a best result of 16th place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in September and an average result of 31.5. 

After TriStar Motorsports ceased operations following the 2018 season, LaJoie teamed up with Go Fas Racing to drive the No. 32 Ford Mustang for the 2019 Cup season. LaJoie started the season by finishing in 18th place in the Daytona 500. Through the first 10 races of the season, his highest result on the track was 11th place at Talladega Superspeedway in April. He went on to achieve his first pair of top-10 results in the Cup circuit at Daytona in July (sixth place) and at Talladega in October (seventh place). He concluded the season in 29th place in the final standings along with seven top-20 results and an average result of 25.9. Following the 2019 season, LaJoie surpassed 100 starts between NASCAR’s three major division series.

LaJoie remained with Go Fas Racing for the 2020 Cup season. He started this season on a harrowing note when he rammed into the upside down car of Ryan Newman on the driver’s side approaching the finish line. The impact demolished the front nose of LaJoie’s No. 32 RagingBull.com Ford Mustang, though he was able to finish in eighth place and emerge uninjured. He went on to finish in 16th place the following week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Through 32 of 36 races this season, LaJoie’s eighth-place result in the Daytona 500 marks his lone top-10 result, though he has achieved a total of six top-20 results. He is in 30th place in the standings and is coming off a 27th-place result in last weekend’s Cup race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course. 

LaJoie is set to become a free agent after announcing in August that he will not be remaining with Go Fas Racing for the 2021 season, though he has yet to announce next year’s racing plans.

Catch LaJoie’s milestone start at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, October 18, at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

Chase Elliott was awarded the pole position for the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series event at Kansas Speedway, the Hollywood Casino 400, on Sunday, October 18, which marks the first event in the Round of 8 in the 2020 Cup Playoffs.

Joey Logano, who finished in second place behind Elliott at the Charlotte Roval, will start alongside Elliott’s No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on the front row at Kansas. Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. will start in the top five followed by Alex Bowman, Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski, as the Playoff field is down to the final eight competitors vying for four spots in the Championship Round.

Bayne on Racing at Kansas: “This is a surreal opportunity for my family and myself,” said Bayne. “To see our business, Mahalo Coffee Roasters, that we started from scratch, less than two years ago on our Niece Motorsports truck this weekend is unbelievable! I hope we can come away from Kansas one spot better than where we finished at Talladega and continue building momentum as a team.”

Bayne at Kansas: Saturday’s NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway marks Bayne’s first Truck Series start at the track.

Bayne has four NASCAR XFINITY Series starts at Kansas Speedway with three top-10 finishes.

In four NASCAR Cup Series starts at the 1.5-mile track, Bayne earned four top-20 finishes.

On the Truck: The No. 45 Chevrolet will carry the Mahalo Coffee Rosters colors this weekend at Kansas Speedway.

While traveling all over the country from track to track, Trevor and the Bayne family would seek out the best local coffee roasters and the coolest shops in town. When Trevor and his wife Ashton moved back to Knoxville, they prayed through what God would have them do next. It started to become apparent that coffee was something He had given Trevor a passion for and would be a great way to plant roots and have impact in their hometown.

Australia is quickly becoming the leader in specialty coffee culture so when a friend told Trevor about a roaster on the Sunshine Coast that would train him, Trevor and his family made the 15-hour flight to Brisbane. Trevor spent the next 10 days with Sean of Kai Coffee learning how to run an efficient cafe, roast consistently and properly, and also how to brew great tasting coffee.

A one-pound Mill City sample roaster and Decent Espresso Machine showed up a month after returning from Australia. For the next six months Trevor ordered small lots of coffee and roasted/brewed. Once he felt like he was able to put out coffee that other people would enjoy, he bought a 6-pound San Franciscan Roaster and started looking for a space to put the shop.

This business came to life through God’s leading, their love for coffee, coastal towns, community and their home in Knoxville, TN.

Kauai, Hawaii is one of their favorite places to visit so they brought a piece of it home. Mahalo is the Hawaiian word for “Thank you” or being grateful.
