Castrol Introduces ‘7 Critical Areas’ Product Claims With New Paint Scheme for Darlington Race

Castrol and RFK Racing co-owner Brad Keselowski unveil new No. 6 Ford design underscoring Castrol’s superiority in motor oil performance and protection

WAYNE, N.J. (March 31, 2025) – Castrol, a global leader in lubricant technology, raised the bar on motor oil today with the launch of bold new product claims across 7 Critical Areas of performance and protection. The claims, which highlight Castrol’s continued superiority in driving motor oil innovation, will come to life in a unique paint scheme for Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing’s Brad Keselowski during the race at historic Darlington Raceway this weekend.

The new claims, which will be featured on Castrol motor oils starting this month, highlight “Ultimate Performance & Protection” (EP), “Superior Performance & Protection” (EDGE), and “Superior Protection” (GTX Full Synthetic) across seven critical areas, including pressure, power, fuel economy, high-temperature performance, cleanliness, wear protection, and endurance (for full synthetic oils) or emission systems protection (for high mileage oils).

Coinciding with the upcoming GF-7 industry standards update, these claims strengthen Castrol’s position as a leader that delivers consumers the protection and performance they deserve.

“For 125 years, Castrol has been driven by a relentless pursuit of innovation, and our new product claims are a testament to our continued commitment to exceed industry standards and deliver a broad range of enhanced performance and protection benefits to our customers,” said President & CEO Castrol Americas Andreas Osbar. “Partnering with RFK Racing and Brad Keselowski, a champion known for precision and perseverance, shows that we’re pushing the limits of what’s possible on and off the track.”

Beyond being featured on Castrol’s new motor oil bottles, the claims will come to life in a unique paint scheme for Keselowski’s No. 6 Ford Mustang at Darlington. The scheme features an all-black base splashed with motor oil graphics with the claim “7 Critical Areas of Performance and Protection” across the hood and trunk lid. A gold number six with a +1 dons the side of the car as a nod to the 7 new claims and Brad’s attempt at another win at Darlington.

“Darlington is a special race for us, and we wanted to create a paint scheme that championed Castrol’s proven record of protection and performance while nodding to last year’s victory,” said RFK Racing Co-Owner Brad Keselowski, who took the checkered flag at the same race last year. “The design reinforces Castrol’s superiority across seven key areas while reflecting our shared commitment to innovation and excellence.”

To engage fans and further amplify the new product claims, Castrol is launching the “7 Critical Areas Sweepstakes” on social. Beginning March 31, 2025, Castrol is offering fans the chance to win exclusive prizes over seven days, culminating in a grand prize trip for two to an upcoming RFK race. Fans can enter the sweepstakes by following @CastrolUSA on Instagram, Facebook, and X, and commenting using #7CriticalAreasSweepstakes. Full sweepstakes rules and eligibility can be found here.

  • MSR to integrate with St. Thomas University’s Fashion Merchandising & Design, Big Data Analytics, Culinary, and Sports Administration students.
  • St. Thomas University to host MSR team leadership in in-person symposium which will feature interactive learning opportunities to STU students
  • The No. 66 MSR Honda will run a special St. Thomas University livery at the Milwaukee Mile in August

Pataskala, Ohio (31 March 2025) – Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) and Miami’s St. Thomas University (STU) will join together for a one-of-a-kind partnership that will aim at fostering innovation, education, and career development opportunities in the world of motorsports.

STU, which is a leading nonprofit, Catholic University in Miami and MSR will collaborate to provide students at St. Thomas University with unprecedented access to the inner workings of a professional INDYCAR team, offering hands-on experience to learn more about the engineering, design and business administration roles of a race team.

Throughout the month of April, STU Big Data Analytics students will work hand-in-hand with MSR’s NTT INDYCAR SERIES and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship engineering staff, interpreting and learning about the team’s data analytics and what goes into the engineering side on a race weekend.

STU’s Fashion Merchandising & Design students will have the opportunity to design and create a special-edition race suit utilizing the team and series guidelines. Students will present their designs to the team for a chance to have Marcus Armstrong – driver of the No. 66 Honda Indy car – wear the suit during the Milwaukee Mile race weekend in August.

STU’s Culinary students will work to create a race-specific sports drink, designed with the flavors of tropical Miami in mind. Three flavors will be created, packed with performance nutrition. The inspiration will be the drivers themselves during a race.

At the end of April, MSR leadership will host a symposium at St. Thomas University which will put an emphasis on Sports Administration, Communications, and Marketing. Students will participate in an interactive assignment, working together to identify and rationalize the best sponsor for a race team.

To round out the MSR and STU partnership, the team will run a special St. Thomas University livery on the No. 66 Honda during the Milwaukee Mile on August 24th with members from the University attending the race weekend.

Meyer Shank Racing continues to push the boundaries of performance and innovation and by aligning with St. Thomas University, MSR aims to engage with emerging talent and help shape the future of motorsports.

“This opportunity to align with St. Thomas University is truly something that I have not seen before,” said MSR co-owner Mike Shank. “There are so many areas of motorsports that people can work in and it’s really great that St. Thomas University is opening its doors for us to show students what all racing is about. We’re very excited for this partnership.”

St. Thomas University President, David A. Armstrong, J.D., expressed his excitement for the partnership and getting to work with MSR next month.

“STU is moving to the top of the field at blinding speed, just like a Meyer Shank Racing Indy car,” said Armstrong. “The MSR team understands the important of academics, and beyond the livery on the beautiful STU car, they are giving our students the opportunity to learn from the best. We are grateful for the opportunity to show the world what our students can do.”

MSR is looking forward to connecting with and working with STU students on various projects throughout the month of April, leading up to the symposium at the end of the month.

Rick Ware Racing Earns Third Win of Weekend

NHRA Top Fuel Driver Clay Millican Delivers Victory for RWR in the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals at Pomona Less Than 24 Hours After RWR Riders Briar Bauman and Chase Saathoff Sweep American Flat Track SuperTwins and Singles Races in Georgia

POMONA, Calif. (March 30, 2025) – Rick Ware Racing (RWR) earned its third victory in less than 24 hours when NHRA Top Fuel driver Clay Millican drove the RWR-prepared Mighty Fire Breaker/Parts Plus dragster to a final round victory in the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals Sunday at In-N-Out Pomona Dragstrip.

Millican defeated Tony Stewart with an impressive .038 of-a-second reaction time to take his eighth career Top Fuel win in the NHRA Mission Food Drag Racing Series. Five of those victories have come since joining RWR in late 2022, with Millican’s prior win earned in the sport’s biggest event, last year’s Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals over Labor Day weekend at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.

“My crew chief (Jim Oberhofer) told me he had it loaded up and a couple things were going to happen. He said we’re going to win, we’re going to blow up and if we lose, we’re going to be a footnote in history,” said Millican, who went 4.273 seconds at 189.71 mph against Stewart before enduring a wild engine explosion at the finish line. “Thank goodness we’re not a footnote in history. Tony Stewart is going to win one of these soon, but all I know is we won the Winternationals.

“But boy, that final round was forever. When you blow it up and – and we blew it up good – and you got a HANS (head-and-neck restraint) device on, you’re stretching that HANS to its limits, trying to look over like, ‘Is he coming or not?’ I couldn’t get there quick enough. I promise I never let off the throttle, even though it wasn’t running no more. But I had that thing buried. I was stomping on the loud pedal harder than normal. What a day.

“Winning (the Winternationals) is one of the majors. It definitely is. We’ve won Indy and now we’ve won here, and that’s pretty dang cool. But to come out and win the way we did today, it was a total team effort.”

Millican’s road to the final came by defeating Shawn Reed, Jasmine Salinas and No. 1 qualifier Brittany Force, and his thundering win against Stewart bookended an impressive weekend for RWR. On Saturday night at the Senoia Short Track in Georgia, RWR’s Progressive American Flat Track riders – Briar Bauman and Chase Saathoff – won their respective classes.

Bauman won the Mission AFT SuperTwins race to score his 27th career victory in the class and his fifth with RWR, as the two-time Grand National Champion came to RWR in 2023.

In a prelude to Bauman’s win, Saathoff triumphed in AFT Singles presented by KICKER. The victory was Saathoff’s first with RWR and the fourth of his career. He joined RWR this year after spending 2022-2024 as an independent AFT Singles rider.

“We’re in the business of trying to win races, and this was a very good weekend for RWR,” said team owner Rick Ware. “Credit goes to our people who put in so much time, energy and effort to make all of this happen. Moments like this are really appreciated because winning in any of these series is just really, really hard. Everyone is good, so when you do have success like this, it makes it even sweeter, because you know how hard you worked to achieve it.

“It’s been a really good weekend, and that makes us want to do it all over again the next weekend and the weekend after that. NHRA is in Vegas in two weeks, AFT is in Ventura in less than a month, and we’ve got NASCAR at Darlington next weekend. There’s no let up, but it’s what we love. It’s how we’re wired.”

Next up for the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series is the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals April 11-13 at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Progressive American Flat Track returns to action on Saturday, April 26 at the Ventura Short Track in Ventura, California. Meanwhile, the NASCAR Cup Series doesn’t skip a beat. It heads to Darlington (S.C.) Raceway for the Goodyear 400 on Sunday.

About Rick Ware Racing:

Rick Ware has been a motorsports mainstay for more than 40 years. It began at age 6 when the third-generation racer began his driving career and has since spanned four wheels and two wheels on both asphalt and dirt. Competing in the SCCA Trans Am Series and other road-racing divisions led Ware to NASCAR in the early 1980s, where he finished third in his NASCAR debut – the 1983 Warner W. Hodgdon 300 NASCAR Grand American race at Riverside (Calif.) International Raceway. More than a decade later, injuries would force Ware out of the driver’s seat and into fulltime team ownership. In 1995, Rick Ware Racing was formed, and with wife Lisa by his side, Ware has since built his eponymous organization into an entity that competes fulltime in the elite NASCAR Cup Series while simultaneously campaigning successful teams in the Top Fuel class of the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, Progressive American Flat Track and FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX).

Cook Out 400 – Martinsville Speedway
Martinsville, Va. – March 30, 2025

AUSTIN CINDRIC No. 2 MENARDS/JACK LINK’S FORD MUSTANG
START: 20TH STAGE 1: 16TH STAGE 2: 25TH FINISH: 37TH POINTS: 24TH
RACE RUNDOWN: Austin Cindric started 20th at Martinsville Speedway in the No. 2 Menards/Jack Link’s Ford Mustang and quickly climbed the leaderboard by staying out during a caution on Lap 32 to gain track position. He restarted second and maintained solid pace following the restart, before finishing 16th at the end of Stage 1. Battery issues had begun to surface, prompting the No. 2 crew to troubleshoot the problem as well as flush the cool suit system. Despite the setback, Cindric reported improved handling on the long run and completed Stage 2 in the 25th position. However, the battery issues persisted in the final stint, ultimately forcing an early end to the No. 2 team’s day. The Menards/Jack Link’s machine was credited with a 37th-place finish.

CINDRIC’S THOUGHTS: “Definitely a disappointing way to end the day. I felt like we had great pace early on, so it’s unfortunate for it to end the way it did for our Menards/Jack Link’s Ford Mustang Dark Horse. We’ll reset and get ready for Darlington next week.”

RYAN BLANEY No. 12 ADVANCE AUTO PARTS FORD MUSTANG
START: 32ND STAGE 1: 18TH STAGE 2: 6TH FINISH: 11TH POINTS: 10TH
RACE RUNDOWN: After starting towards the tail end of the field Sunday afternoon at Martinsville, Ryan Blaney and the No. 12 Advance Auto Parts Ford Mustang rallied for an 11th-place finish to cap off the weekend at the half-mile short track. The first caution flag flew on lap 32, allowing the No. 12 team to flip its track position as the majority of the field opted to pit while Blaney was one of six cars to stay out, setting him up to take the ensuing restart from fifth. Ultimately, fresher tires prevailed over the course of the following run as Blaney settled for an 18th-place finish in Stage 1. Following a four tire stop and a round of adjustments during the stage caution, Blaney worked his way back into the top-10 by lap 144 and continued his fight to the front, coming away with a sixth-place result in Stage 2. Blaney settled into fifth for the opening run of the final stage before the last round of pit stops took place following the caution on lap 274 as the Advance Auto Parts Ford lined up to take the green flag from seventh with 114 laps remaining. Blaney continued to hold steady in the top-10 before the field took the green one last time with 75 laps to go, but was unable to make up any ground over the course of the final run in an 11th-place effort.

BLANEY’S THOUGHTS: “Really proud of the effort from our 12 group after the way our weekend started. The strategy played into our favor early to gain back some track position and the changes we made throughout the day allowed us to maintain in the top-10. Just needed a little more for the final run there but a solid day to get us back in the right direction.”

JOEY LOGANO No. 22 SHELL-PENNZOIL FORD MUSTANG
START: 7TH STAGE 1: 1ST STAGE 2: 12TH FINISH: 8TH POINTS: 9TH
RACE RUNDOWN: Despite getting collected in a late-race incident that relegated the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford to the tail end of the lead lap, Joey Logano charged through the field over the final 75 laps to come away with an eighth-place finish Sunday at Martinsville, marking his 12th-consecutive top-10 finish at the Virginia short track. Logano displayed top-10 pace throughout the 400-lap event as he worked his way up to second in the running order before the caution flag flew with 10 laps remaining in Stage 1. After taking the restart from the inside of row one, Logano took control to come away with his second stage win of the season in a two-lap shootout. Varying strategies resulted in Logano restarting from 29th to begin Stage 2, but he once again climbed the leaderboard on fresh tires to reach 17th when the caution flag flew on lap 122. Crew chief Paul Wolfe made the call for right side tires only on the ensuing stop as the No. 22 team gained seven spots on pit road to vault Logano back into the top-10. After crossing the line 12th in Stage 2, several cautions continued to stack up the field before Logano was involved in an incident in turn three with 83 laps to go as the No. 19 got sideways and made contact with the left rear of the No. 22. Despite receiving minimal damage, Logano hit pit road for four fresh tires and lined up to restart 25th with 75 laps remaining. Logano made quick work through the field as the race remained green for the entirety of the run, ascending to the top-10 with seven laps to go before ultimately taking the checkered flag eighth.

LOGANO’S THOUGHTS: “It seems like it’s been a typical 2025. A pretty solid car and then something happens. Overall, I feel the guys gave me a really fast Shell-Pennzoil Mustang, one that was possible to win with if we got the track position. We went for that stage win early in the race in Stage 1. I think that was the right call. We got ourselves back in the ballpark there and the long haul was pretty good.”

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Darlington Raceway on Sunday, April 6. Live coverage of the Goodyear 400 begins at 3:00 p.m. ET on FS1 with in-car camera angles available all race long through MAX Driver Cam.

Electrical Problems Drop Berry to 33rd at Martinsville

Josh Berry and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane team got off to a fast start in Sunday’s Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway, leading 40 laps in the first Stage before mechanical gremlins led to lost laps and eventually a 33rd-place finish.

Berry started Sunday’s race from 14th place and took the lead on Lap 34 by staying on the track while drivers ahead of him made pit stops during a caution flag for debris on the track. Once out front, Berry cruised at the head of the pack for 40 laps, finally giving up the top spot when he made a pit stop at Lap 73.

But the strong start fell apart just after Berry exited pit road following his first stop. The Motorcraft/Quick Lane Mustang Dark Horse lost power on the backstretch. Berry made it back to the pits, where the crew got him back under power, and he rejoined the race in 38th place, one lap down.

He ended the first 80-lap Stage in 38th place but lost another lap when the electrical problems returned, and the crew replaced his battery during a Lap 86 pit stop.

Berry ended Stage Two in 37th place and took the wave-around during a caution period at Lap 202 to regain one of the lost laps. But the mechanical woes returned around Lap 275 as he once again lost power, coasting into the pits for more repairs. He lost two more laps and ended the race in 33rd place, four laps in arrears.

Berry and the No. 21 team now turn their attention to next Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. Berry and the team will run a throwback scheme based on the Ford-powered Lotus that Jim Clark, with pit support from the Wood Brothers, drove to victory in the 1965 Indianapolis 500.

The biggest scandals in world soccer in 2024

By

-

Last soccer year was remembered for many bright moments. First of all, it was Euro 2024, where the Spanish national team shone brightly and the Georgian national team opened for everyone in a new way. But even this tournament was marred by several scandals. While fans are making football prediction for today we can remember a few of the biggest scandals of last year.

The new format of the Champions League

Everyone was talking about the introduction of a new format. Representatives of UEFA convinced everyone that this option would better level the chances of teams and would allow more interesting matches with results for today btts and equal confrontations.  Accordingly, the audience will be more interested, and the clubs will earn more money.

But clubs believe that such innovations only increase the number of matches per year. At the same time, the players can no longer withstand the loads and the clubs’ payrolls only expand. To spend the season with 15-18 players in the squad is already unrealistic.

At the same time, sports organizations require compliance with financial fair play, which only increases the scandal. Many clubs are surprisingly not performing well in the European Cup and this has become a reason to argue about the correctness of the innovation. Let’s see if the new format of the Euro cups will take hold, but the fact that it has already become more scandalous than spectacular is a fact.

Demirala’s disqualification at the Euros

Imagine that you play as a center back and in the 1/8 finals of the Euros you score a double in the opponents’ goal. Your goals:

  • take the team to the quarterfinals;
  • become a player’s first double for the national team;
  • bring the love of the country from the fans.

It’s a beautiful story for Demiral, isn’t it? But in the end, he will face a 2-match suspension. The fact is that the player showed a gesture symbolizing the nationalist movement in Turkey. The footballer claimed that on emotions he wanted to demonstrate some national gesture, but in the end, he was disqualified.

Because of this misdemeanor, the Turkish national team lost in the quarterfinals, because the Netherlands easily passed through the zone where Demiral should have been. And the scandal was the reason for the team’s low mood for the match. That’s how a player from a hero became a scandalizer.

Real boycotted the Ballon d’Or ceremony.

Last season Real showed incredible soccer and everyone was sure that its main star Vinicius would get the Ballon d’Or. But a day before the award presentation Real learned that the winner would be Rodri.

The team management regarded such information as disrespect and the club refused to come to the ceremony. At the same time, Carlo Ancelotti was recognized as coach of the year, and Real was recognized as the best club. According to rumors the day before the award, Vinízus even managed to celebrate the victory, but in the end, he did not receive the Golden Ball, and a whole scandal came out.

Mudryk caught doping

In 2023, the Ukrainian winger moved to Chelsea for 70 million Euros. This is a record transfer for a Ukrainian player. But in Chelsea, he could not play at the right level. And now, at the moment when something started to work, Mykhailo was caught doping.

Now Mudryk faces a 4-year disqualification and it is the end of his career as a top-football player. According to many sources, meldonium was found after matches in the national team of Ukraine. There are rumors that Chelsea even plans to sue the Ukrainian Football Federation. The player himself has already initiated an autopsy of the B sample to prove his innocence. But the chances of success are extremely low.

Conclusion

Of course, this is not all the scandals of the past year, which many analysts and representatives of xGscore.io analyzed over the past year. We can remember Cucurella’s hand play in the match against Germany at the Euros and Pogba’s doping scandal. But it was the scandals mentioned in the article that were the most discussed last year. We hope that 2025 will be less scandalous and more soccer.

No. 10 Mark III Camaro ZL1

Start: 28th
Stage 1 Finish: 25th
Stage 2 Finish: 17th
Finish: 15th

Ty Dillon and the No. 10 Mark III team started Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway from the 28th position and with focus and determination, moved into the top 25 by the end of stage one. With a fast Chevy, the team made routine stops during the second stage and Dillon was scored 20th at the end of the stage. Happy with the handling of the No. 10 Chevy and the direction the team was going, Dillon was able to run as high as 13th in the final stage before crossing the finish line in 15th.
 

“I’m really happy with our performance today. Our Mark III Camaro was solid in practice and we built off that. We had a decent qualifying run, just the result didn’t really show the potential we had in the car. I think as a team we were just really patient and focused on executing and not taking ourselves out of the race. We knew we had a decent enough car to get back up there and Andrew (Dickeson, crew chief) made a good call giving us an advantage there at the end on tires to battle back to the top 15. I’m just proud of our effort to bounce back. We worked really hard last week and the result didn’t show. This week to have a really good effort and to get the result this week was really good, so happy all around.” Ty Dillon

No. 16 Black’s Tire Services Camaro ZL1

Start: 23rd
Stage 1 Finish: Third
Stage 2 Finish: 20th
Finish: 23rd

Allmendinger reported early his Black’s Tire Service Chevy was lacking grip and drive off. On the first stop of the day, the team made a wedge adjustment to help with the handling of the car. Allmendinger restarted in 26th and was running 19th when the next caution came out on lap 71. Crew chief, Trent Owens, and Allmendinger collectively decided to stay out and make a run for stage points. Allmendinger went to finish the opening stage in third, earning eight stage points. In the second stage, Allmendinger reported his Chevy was freer than the run before and he still needed more forward drive. After contact on the right rear in the final stage, Allmendinger came to pit road under caution for four fresh tires to eliminate concern of the tire going down. The No. 16 car was able to make up the track position and later maintained position inside the top 20. When the caution came out on lap 298, Allmendinger was running 17th and stayed out to save tires for a potential late race caution. As the laps winded down, Allmendinger continued to lose grip in the car, causing him to fall back to 23rd.

“I thought we did fairly well today trying to make the most of our day; we fought the balance of the race car in general. We made a good decision there to get stage points in the first stage so that helped our day, for sure. Unfortunately, we lost it completely on the last run, got way too loose and that cost us a few spots. We knew it was an uphill battle all day and besides the last run, we really made the most of the day. It’s a little disappointing to not run a little bit better, but we generally understand why, and we’ll move on to Darlington.” – AJ Allmendinger

Preece and the No. 60 Team Continue Hot Streak, Leading RFK at Martinsville

Ryan Preece 7th, Chris Buescher 24th, & Brad Keselowski 26th

Martinsville, VA (March 30, 2025) – Ryan Preece stood tall at NASCAR’s shortest track on Sunday, recording his third consecutive top-10 finish of the season. Preece led Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing with a solid 7th-place finish at Martinsville. Chris Buescher and Brad Keselowski overcame challenges to score 24th and 26th-place finishes, respectively.

No. 60 – Ryan Preece

Ryan Preece continues to make a statement with the way he and the No. 60 team have started the year. At Martinsville on Sunday, Preece established a career-best streak of three consecutive top-10 finishes. His 7th-place result placed the Fastenal Mustang as the highest-finishing Ford in the field, marking the second week in a row that an RFK Racing car earned that recognition.

Earlier in the weekend, it was clear that Preece had a fast race car. At one point during time trials, it appeared Preece would win the pole. However, a slight miscue on the unforgiving half-mile resulted in a 21st starting position. Determined to make up for that in the race, Preece set his sights on another solid finish with RFK’s newest team.

The speed and Preece’s grit resulted in a 7th-place finish in Stage One – earning valuable stage points. Stage Two proved more of a challenge. The car started to develop a tight condition, and Preece concluded that stage in 23rd. Crew Chief Derrick Finley made adjustments and improved the car. Preece took advantage and, over the final run, charged into the top 10 to finish 7th.

“I didn’t expect that one,” Preece said of his career-best third consecutive top-10 finish. “Honestly, it all started with me messing up in qualifying and putting us back there. Ultimately, we got some great stage points, some great calls, and great adjustments on the box, and we got this Fastenal Ford Mustang where it needed to be.”

No. 17 – Chris Buescher

After a very quick qualifying run, Chris Buescher started 6th at Martinsville on Sunday. It wasn’t long before that speed was on full display. As the green flag waved, Buescher fired off with the leaders and held the Kroger/Old El Paso Ford inside the top 10 in the early laps.

As the first stage wound down, Buescher and Carson Hocevar made contact. Buescher spun and sustained right-front suspension damage. The No. 17 team immediately went to work repairing the damage. The incident forced Buescher to lose the lead lap, though he would eventually get it back. When Stage One concluded, Buescher was 37th.

During the stage break, the team continued to work on the car. The repairs allowed Buescher to continue turning highly competitive laps, and he was 30th at the end of Stage Two. Stage Three brought more contact, this time with Noah Gragson as the two battled for the same piece of real estate at the bottom of Turn One. Buescher, though, was able to retain position on the lead lap and raced hard to bring home a 24th-place finish.

No. 60 – Brad Keselowski

Brad Keselowski entered Sunday looking for his third career Martinsville victory. Starting 27th, he used a combination of savvy, aggressive driving and astute pit strategy to gain track position early. Toward the end of Stage One, the BuildSubmarines.com Ford elected not to pit during a caution period when many leaders did. The net result was restarting inside the top 5 and finishing 4th in Stage One – gaining valuable stage points.

As the race progressed, the ebbs and flows of the event found Keselowski once again fighting for track position on the heavily congested half-mile. It’s a track where Keselowski has led more than 1,000 laps in his career, and his experience allowed him to work toward a solid finish. He ended Stage Two in 24th, confident that he could make his way to the front in the final segment.

Before Stage Three began, Crew Chief Jeremy Bullins made adjustments to give the BuildSubmarines Ford more drive off. The car was good, but a green-flag pit stop on lap 270 (of 400) proved critical. Keselowski lost a lap, and because a caution came out shortly after, that round of green-flag stops only affected him and a handful of others. Most drivers were able to pit under caution without losing a lap. Although the No. 6 team fought hard, they were never able to get back on the lead lap and finished 26th. Keselowski heads to Darlington next, where he is the defending winner.

MILLICAN, BECKMAN AND ANDERSON PICK UP VICTORIES AT 65TH ANNUAL LUCAS OIL NHRA WINTERNATIONALS

  • Millican slips past Stewart in TF final
  • Beckman hands JFR 300th FC victory
  • Anderson sets track record in PS win

POMONA, Calif. (March 30, 2025) – Clay Millican edged out Tony Stewart in an explosive Top Fuel final round on Sunday for Rick Ware Racing, winning for the first time at historic In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip at the 65th annual Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals.

Jack Beckman (Funny Car) and Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) also won the third of 20 races during the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

Millican went 4.273-seconds at 189.71 mph in his 11,000-horsepower Mighty Fire Breaker/Parts Plus dragster before a wild engine explosion at the finish line, as Stewart drove into tire smoke almost immediately in the finals. It is the eighth career victory for Millican, who defeated Shawn Reed, Jasmine Salinas and No. 1 qualifier Brittany Force to reach the final round, and first in 2025.

Millican was also dynamite on the starting line during eliminations, including a lethal .038 against Stewart, denying the racing legend his first career Top Fuel victory and moving to sixth in points.

“My crew chief (Jim Oberhofer) told me he had it loaded up and a couple things were going to happen. He said we’re going to win, we’re going to blow up and if we lose, we’re going to be a footnote in history,” Millican said. “Thank goodness we’re not a footnote in history. Tony Stewart is going to win one of these soon, but all I know is we won the Winternationals.

“But boy, that final round was forever. When you blow it up and – and we blew it up good – and you got a HANS [head restraint] device on, you’re stretching that HANS to its limits, trying to look over like, ‘Is he coming or not?’ I couldn’t get there quick enough. I promise I never let off the throttle, even though it wasn’t running no more. But I had that thing buried. I was stomping on the loud pedal harder than normal. What a day.

“Winning [the Winternationals] is one of the majors. It definitely is. We’ve won Indy and now we’ve won here, and that’s pretty dang cool. But to come out and win the way we did today, it was a total team effort. I pulled us out once, which rarely ever happens, and the team just stuck together.”

Stewart reached the final round for the third time in his career and first this season after defeating reigning world champion Antron Brown, Doug Kalitta and points leader Shawn Langdon.

In Funny Car, Beckman handed John Force Racing its 300th Funny Car win after he went 4.015 at 302.88 in his 11,000-horsepower PEAK Chevrolet Camaro SS to knock off Daniel Wilkerson in a historic championship round at the legendary facility – and the home track for JFR. It is the 38th career win for Beckman, who replaced Force after his crash last year and has won the last two races in Pomona.

Force also won last year’s Winternationals, making the car a remarkable 12-0 in the last three Pomona races. The weekend belonged to Beckman, who won the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge for the first time with two standout runs and then made a series of passes in the 3.80s to reach Sunday’s final.

He defeated Jeff Diehl, Chad Green and Matt Hagan to reach the championship round. There wasn’t another 3.80s in the fold, but after Wilkerson had trouble at the starting line, Beckman recovered and rolled to his first victory of the season and 36th in his career. It’s also the first time he has led the points since 2020, as Beckman continues to perform at a high level since replacing Force following his crash in June.

“The car was amazing all weekend. We qualified fourth, but we got qualifying points every single round and ran 3.80s every round of eliminations until the final when the flawless part fell off a couple of hundred feet out and car shook the tires and knocked them loose,” Beckman said. “That’s where, as a driver, you’ve got to be ready to give one back to the team because they’d given me everything all weekend long.

“It felt good to be able to pedal the thing and take it down there and have the car not blow up. It’s pretty cool when they hand you a trophy, your car still intact, and get John Force Racing its 300th Funny car win.”

Wilkerson reached the final round for the second time in his career thanks to round wins against J.R. Todd, Paul Lee and Funny Car rookie Spencer Hyde.

There appears to be no stopping Pro Stock’s Greg Anderson these days, especially at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, as the reigning world champion set the track record in the final round against KB Titan Racing teammate Dallas Glenn with a stellar run of 6.476 at 210.90 in his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro. That gives Anderson a remarkable 16 career wins in Pomona – the second-most in NHRA history – including the last two races.

He won the NHRA Finals last November against Glenn, a final-round matchup that has repeated itself the first three races of the 2025 campaign. Glenn won the first in Gainesville, but Anderson has taken the last two. While Phoenix was a wild and wacky final round, this one was much more conventional, as Anderson continued his torrid run this weekend. He was in the 6.40s throughout eliminations, including a 6.477 against Jeg Coughlin Jr. in the second round that initially broke the track record from 2014.

Anderson, the current points leader who also won the GESi Pro Stock No. 1 Qualifier Award for a second straight race, then broke it again in the championship round with a spectacular run, giving the six-time world champion his second victory this season and 108th in his marvelous career.

“We set a [track] record in the final and this is the way you want to do it,” Anderson said. “You want to go out and earn it every single run, and you want to save your best for the final round, and that’s what we did. These are proud days today, and just like three months ago here in the final round, you want to give your best shot in the final round against the toughest competition.

“I love this place. Nine times out of 10 when we come here, you get friendly conditions like this, and I was able to drive better than I normally drive as far as reaction time goes. The slight cloud cover, the cool temperatures just feel good for a driver and that just plays more into my hand. are the conditions I need. I wish we could race here every weekend.”

Glenn continued his impressive season as well, advancing to a third straight final round and 30th in his career after defeating Erica Enders, Matt Hartford and Deric Kramer.
