Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Customer Racing Team JMF Motorsports Wins Inaugural Three-Hour Race of New GT World Challenge Era at Sonoma

JMF Motorsports Ushers in New Three-Hour Race Era of the SRO GT World Challenge America in a Competitive and Controlled Overall and Pro-Class Victory from the Pole in the No. 34 JMF Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3. The Victory is a Milestone Repeat for the Duo and the Second-Year JMF Motorsports Team that Won in Their Series Debut at Sonoma Last Year

SONOMA, California – Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Customer Racing team JMF Motorsports ushered in the new three-hour race era of the SRO GT World Challenge America series in a convincing and controlled fashion this weekend with a commanding victory at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday from the pole with co-drivers Mikael Grenier and Michai Stephens in the No. 34 JMF Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3.

The win marked a milestone historic repeat for the duo and JMF Motorsports team as the group also stood atop the podium at Sonoma last year in the team’s series debut. This year, however, the win came in the series’ newly formatted three-hour endurance format that will be the series standard for all but the season-ending Indianapolis 8 Hour race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this October.

The strong victory was a near flag-to-flag triumph for the No. 34 JMF Motorsports team. Starting driver Stephens relinquished the point only briefly at the end of the race’s first hour before reclaiming the lead before pitting to hand the car over to closing driver Grenier just before the race’s halfway mark. Grenier led every lap of his race-closing run and withstood the pressure of more than one fast challenger for a close but secure 0.922-second margin of victory.

The win followed a double-pole qualifying effort earlier on Sunday for the expanded JMF team that runs two Mercedes-AMG GT3 entries in GT World Challenge America this season. Stephens and Grenier posted the quickest combined time for the overall and Pro division pole while their new teammates Jason Daskalos and Lorcan Hanafin won the Pro-Am pole with a stout third fastest overall combined qualifying time in the No. 27 JMF Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3.

The No. 27 team’s good fortune in qualifying unfortunately didn’t continue in the race, however, as a pair of pit stop-related penalties in the opening hour dropped Daskalos and Hanafin from winning contention to an eventual ninth place Pro-Am finish.

Returning Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Customer Racing team TR3 Racing also encountered an early issue after a contact incident in the race’s opening laps thwarted an otherwise competitive weekend. A trip to the paddock for repairs put the No. 9 TR3 Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 several laps down but the team and co-drivers Brayton Williams and Will Bamber persevered to the finish.

In the accompanying Pirelli GT4 America series doubleheader at Sonoma on Friday and Saturday, three Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Customer Racing Mercedes-AMG GT4 entries competed in an SRO America event weekend for the first time since the 2024 season finale at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS). The trio included the returning No. 37 Dome Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT4 and a pair of series-debuting entries. For the first time, Dome has expanded to a two-car program set for the full season with the addition of the No. 39 Dome Mercedes-AMG GT4. The other newcomer was the No. 40 Off Leash Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT4 of Kevin Clifford and race-winning GT4 and TCR competitor Harry Gottsacker.

The Dome driver lineup featured the returning duo of team owner and driver Eddie Killeen and Marc Miller, a combination that debuted in Pirelli GT4 in the No. 37 entry last year. This season, however, Killeen and Miller are split between the No. 37 and No. 39 entries, with each sharing their respective Mercedes-AMG GT4s with new drivers. Killeen now runs in the Am class, co-driving the No. 37 with new Dome driver Laura Hayes. Miller stays in the Pro-Am division for the initial campaign of the No. 39 with new Dome arrival Allen Patten.

The weekend’s top race performance of the trio was a pair of top-five Am-class finishes for the No. 37, including the first career podium finish for Killeen as he begins his second season in Pirelli GT4. Along with Hayes, who made it to victory lane in her very first race with Dome and in a Mercedes-AMG, Killeen secured a third-place Am-division showing in Friday’s first 60-minute race. Killeen and Hayes backed it up with a fifth-place class finish in Saturday’s final sprint of the race weekend.

The No. 39 team and drivers also shined early in the weekend as Patten charged to the Pro-Am pole in qualifying in his Dome debut. Unfortunately, his time at the front of the field in Friday’s race was short lived as an overly aggressive competitor knocked him from contention in the opening minutes of the race. The needless setback relegated the No. 39 to the back of the starting field in Saturday’s finale only to see Miller get caught up in another contact incident that derailed a good race result for a second straight day.

Patten, Miller and the No. 39 team joined the debuting No. 40 and team drivers Clifford and Gottsacker, who also endured a weekend of “hard knocks,” in quickly shifting focus to the year’s remaining races and better results ahead.

Next up for Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Customer Racing teams in SRO America competition is Round 2 of the 2026 season at Circuit of The Americas (COTA), April 24 – 26.

“We were able to control the race even though it was obviously clear others were quick. My first stint was a bit tricky because I had a back marker in front, but he didn’t want to let us go. So, I kind of killed the tires, and I was on a used set as well, so I was struggling a bit. The last stint, pace wise, was much better. Still some work to do, but we’re super pleased. First place in the first race of the year. We have to score as many points as possible early in the year, which we didn’t do last year, so we have to keep doing that, keep our nose clean, keep pushing, and then we will see where we are in Indianapolis at the end of the year.”

Mikael Grenier, Driver – No. 34 JMF Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3

“It’s tremendous to be here on the forefront of a new era for SRO America’s three-hour GT World Challenge format. To be able to have the privilege to walk home with the big trophy, all credit goes to JMF Motorsports and the partnership with Mercedes-AMG. It’s more fuel to strive to move forward, just more motivation to keep digging. It’s critical to get some momentum and some championship points early, because all we have now is one shot per weekend. So, you have to make it count, and it’s a real privilege to be able to make it count this time.”

Michai Stephens, Driver – No. 34 JMF Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3

“The car handled so well and the JMF team is incredible. I had great pace, leading everybody in class, but I made a mistake coming into the pits. I left it in second gear, instead of going down to first. So that’s on me, but there’s still so many positives. Lorcan is so fast and a joy to work with. With the team, the car and the Pro driver that I have, it should be our year. I just can’t make little mistakes like that.”

Jason Daskalos, Driver – No. 27 JMF Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3

“Coming into the weekend we had a pretty strong package. We knew we were going to be up there and fighting. It was just unfortunate about the damage at the start, but the boys got it back together, and it’s a great TR3 team we are here with. They are a family, and we all work hard together, we learned a lot and brought it home. Down to the setup changes, the Mercedes-AMG GT3 is pretty easy to dial it in. Overall, the car is a lot of fun.”

Brayton Williams, Driver – No. 9 TR3 Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3

“It’s our second year, we are a young team and trying to have a lot of fun, but when it’s go time, it’s go time. Everybody works so hard and it feels great. I know it feels great for them too. As an older Gentleman driver, I’ve got to say it’s pretty cool. It’s just neat stuff to be at this level and do something to get on the podium with a young team. Last year, our intention was to put together a strong program and attract drivers. We have a great platform with the Mercedes-AMG GT4, running in a series that drivers want to compete in with SRO Pirelli GT4 America and we worked hard to put something together to be there this year. To have a couple of drivers come to you, knock on your door, and say, ‘hey, I want to run with you guys. I saw good stuff last year.’ Thankfully, that’s what happened. We have a big couple of great additions here with Laura and Alan, who are just fast, young talents and professional as well. It was very late in the game when it all came together, but I’m thankful it did.”

Eddie Killeen, Driver – No. 37 Dome Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT4

“It’s been an amazing weekend. My first day in the Mercedes-AMG GT4 was just on Wednesday. First time ever in the car and I love it. I think it just drives well with my driving style and technique, it feels like it’s what the car needs. I’m still learning, getting better every time I get out there, so I’m excited on how the season is going to go and how much faster I can hopefully get. The Dome guys are amazing, and I felt part of the team instantly. Eddie drove his butt off on Friday and I’m so happy for him. It was super cool to pit fit from the lead but, honestly, I didn’t even know we were in the lead until we got to the pit box. I saw a screenshot and my name was up at the top! These guys timed it perfect for the driver change. I think it was with just 10 seconds left to the driver change, it was close but all on the money. Everything came together.”

Laura Hayes, Driver – No. 37 Dome Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT4

“Honestly, we came into this weekend actually very prepared and it showed. Our driver lineups were firmed up in only the last week or two, Allen is fully on board, but I think our results don’t showcase at all what our pace was at Sonoma and what our potential for better results will be throughout the year. I think you’re going to see the No. 39 car up front a lot. We just didn’t get to show what we can do after our strong lap pace with Allen in qualifying, but we unfortunately got taken out so early in the first race. With the new rules on starting positions for race two, it put us in the back and the same thing happened in the final race. We know that when we start up front where we should be for both races we are going to be fighting for wins. On the other side with our Am pairing, I just can’t say enough. They put in consistent, strong runs in every session, Eddie has developed as a driver in his second year in the series, and Laura has been top notch from the beginning. We have two top-five finishes for the No. 37 car, including one time on the podium, and a pole for the weekend for the team. So, when you step back and look at just that, we really showcased where the Dome team is to start the season. Kelly Brown is really the shining light of this program. We brought in a new engineer this year, we have several new team members, and an overall group of crew guys that have just gelled. A lot of that is the leadership that Kelly brings. The reality is this is a great environment, a great team, and a great culture we will build on. Eddie lets us do that and sets the overall tone for Dome Motorsport.”

RAFA Racing sweeps Sonoma Raceway with Gonzalez, Workman double win

Official Release

SONOMA, Calif. (Monday, March 30, 2026) – RAFA Racing Team opened the 2026 Pirelli GT4 America season with a perfect weekend, as Tyler Gonzalez and Westin Workman swept both races at Sonoma Raceway in the No. 68 Endava Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2.

The pair combined control and execution on Saturday before delivering a hard-fought drive on Sunday, leaving Sonoma with maximum points and early momentum in the championship.

Starting second on the grid in race 1, Workman wasted no time taking control, moving into the lead on the opening lap and setting the tone for the race. From there, the RAFA entry dictated the pace, with Workman leading the opening nine laps before the pit cycle.

The team only surrendered the lead during the mandatory stops, spending just five laps out of the lead before cycling back through to secure the victory.

“As soon as Tyler got in the car, I knew we had a chance to win,” said Workman. “This Supra was on rails today. There are a lot of people behind this.”

Gonzalez added, “I can’t thank RAFA Racing enough for the setup. The car really came to us, and everything just worked.”

Sunday was a much tougher battle.

The No. 68 entry spent much of the early running in second, managing pace and staying within striking distance as the race developed. Gonzalez handled the opening stint before handing the car to Workman, who was tasked with chasing down the leaders in the closing stages.

The decisive move came late, with Workman taking the overall race lead with seven laps remaining and holding firm to the checkered flag to complete the sweep.

“Oh, it was amazing, you know, with Tyler Gonzalez starting the race and pulling out a bit of a gap on the other silvers, I knew I just had to get in the car and do my job and just bring it home,” said Workman.

“I know I’m surrounded by the right people when I get out of the car, and the first thing I’m thinking about is how we’re going to win the next one and how I can improve.

“So I think there is still a little bit of pace to find for me, but Tyler did a great job. Team did a great job, and Endava and Gazoo Racing, with so many people on board, made this happen for all of us. So super thankful.”

“I couldn’t be happier,” Gonzalez said.

“It’s a great start to a long championship, that’s for sure. So we just got to keep at it, keep this momentum going. Westin did a great job. I’m so happy for him, man, yeah, so proud of this guy. It’s going to be a fun year for sure.”

The weekend also extended Workman’s remarkable start to the season. The Race 2 victory marked his sixth win of the year in the Toyota GR Supra GT4 platform, backing up an undefeated four-race run to open the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge championship.

The team also enjoyed a solid debut weekend for former esports race Chris Spada and Brazilian ace Werner Neugebauer. The duo took their RAFA Racing Team GR Supra GT4 to a pair of seventh place finishes in both races in the Pro-Am class to open the season.

Pirelli GT4 America continues with the next round at Circuit of the Americas, featuring a three-hour endurance race – a format that has already proven successful for RAFA Racing Team, which claimed victory in the event last year.

Car Maintenance Tips in Dubai: Keep Your Vehicle in Top Shape

Owning a car in Dubai comes with unique challenges, from the intense summer heat to the need for regular maintenance. Proper car care not only ensures the longevity of your vehicle but also helps you avoid costly repairs and potential breakdowns. If you’re looking for reliable car maintenance tips in Dubai, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog, we’ll discuss the benefits of hiring a local car mechanic, the essential services offered by mechanics in Dubai, and why keeping up with routine maintenance is crucial for your vehicle’s performance.

The Benefits of Hiring a Local Car Mechanic in Dubai

Hiring a professional mechanic in Dubai offers numerous advantages. While DIY maintenance may seem cost-effective, it often leads to errors that can result in more significant problems down the road. Here are some key benefits of hiring a local mechanic:

1. Expertise and Experience

Local mechanics in Dubai have a wealth of knowledge and experience in maintaining vehicles that are driven in the region’s unique climate and road conditions. They understand how the extreme heat affects car engines, tires, and air conditioning systems, and they are equipped to address these issues.

2. Time-Saving

Car maintenance requires precision and attention to detail, and professionals can complete the job in a fraction of the time it would take an inexperienced individual. Hiring a local mechanic ensures your car is back on the road quickly, so you can focus on your daily life without disruptions.

3. Cost-Effective in the Long Run

Although hiring a professional might seem like an added expense initially, it’s often more cost-effective in the long run. A skilled mechanic can diagnose issues early on, preventing them from escalating into costly repairs. Additionally, regular maintenance helps optimize fuel efficiency and extend your vehicle’s lifespan.

4. Access to Advanced Tools and Equipment

Local mechanics in Dubai have access to the latest diagnostic tools and equipment, which enables them to accurately identify and fix problems that may not be immediately visible. These advanced tools ensure your car is in top condition after every maintenance check.

Key Car Maintenance Services Offered by Local Mechanics in Dubai

A reliable car mechanic in Dubai can provide a wide range of essential maintenance services to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Here are the most common services offered by local mechanics:

1. Oil Change and Fluid Check

One of the most important routine maintenance tasks is checking and changing your car’s oil. Over time, oil breaks down, and your engine will need fresh oil to run smoothly. Mechanics also check other essential fluids such as brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid to ensure optimal vehicle performance.

2. Tire Care and Alignment

Tires are your car’s only contact with the road, so proper maintenance is crucial. A local mechanic can check the tire pressure, inspect for any signs of wear and tear, rotate tires, and align them to ensure even wear. Proper tire care can improve fuel efficiency and overall safety.

3. Brake System Inspection

The brake system is vital to your safety. Regular brake checks, including inspecting brake pads, discs, and fluid levels, are essential to ensure the car can stop effectively. A professional mechanic can detect any issues before they become dangerous.

4. Air Conditioning and Cooling System

The intense heat in Dubai demands a reliable air conditioning system. Mechanics inspect the A/C system, refrigerant levels, and cooling components to ensure your car remains comfortable, especially during the summer months.

5. Battery Testing and Replacement

Car batteries in Dubai are subjected to high temperatures, and that can shorten the battery’s lifespan. Mechanics can test the battery’s health, clean the terminals, and replace it when necessary to prevent unexpected breakdowns.

6. Engine Diagnostics and Tune-Ups

For maintaining peak performance, regular engine checks are crucial. A professional mechanic will use diagnostic tools to identify potential engine issues, optimize performance, and increase fuel efficiency.

7. Windshield Wiper and the Washer System

In a dusty environment like Dubai, a functioning windshield wiper system is essential for visibility. A mechanic can replace worn-out wiper blades and ensure the washer system is working effectively.

8. Transmission and Exhaust System Check

If left unchecked, transmission issues can be costly. A local mechanic will inspect your transmission for signs of wear, while also checking the exhaust system for leaks or blockages, ensuring smooth driving and adherence to local emissions standards.

Why Car Maintenance is Essential in Dubai

Maintaining your car regularly is crucial in Dubai’s climate. The high temperatures and humidity can take a toll on various car components, leading to more frequent breakdowns and costly repairs. Here’s why regular maintenance is vital:

  • Prolongs the Life of Your Car: Regular maintenance ensures that the car’s engine, transmission, and other vital parts are working efficiently, increasing the overall lifespan of your vehicle.
  • Improves Safety: Proper brake checks, tire care, and engine maintenance help prevent accidents and breakdowns, ensuring your safety on the road.
  • Boosts Fuel Efficiency: Regular maintenance, including tire rotations and oil changes, helps your car run more efficiently, saving you money on fuel.
  • Prevents Costly Repairs: Routine maintenance allows a mechanic to spot potential issues early on before they turn into major, expensive problems.

Conclusion: Take Action Now and Maintain Your Car Like a Pro!

In conclusion, car maintenance in Dubai is essential for ensuring your vehicle remains reliable, safe, and efficient. Whether it’s oil changes, tire care, or a full engine diagnostic, hiring a local car mechanic in Dubai can save you time, money, and stress. By investing in regular maintenance, you protect your car from the harsh Dubai environment and keep it running smoothly.

Cook Out 400
Martinsville, Va. – March 29, 2026

AUSTIN CINDRIC No. 2 MENARDS/RICHMOND FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE
START: 6TH STAGE 1: 5TH STAGE 2: 6TH FINISH: 8TH POINTS: 18TH
RACE RUNDOWN: Austin Cindric delivered an eighth-place finish in Sunday’s Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway capping off a steady and competitive afternoon for the No. 2 Menards/Richmond Ford Mustang Dark Horse team. Cindric started sixth and wasted little time moving forward, slipping into the top five within the opening laps. Early in the run, he noted improved turn compared to Saturday’s practice session. By the 30-lap mark, he had worked his way up to fourth and remained a factor inside the top five throughout Stage 1. As the opening segment progressed, Cindric began to lose drive over the longer run but still managed to finish fifth when the stage ended under caution. He came to pit road for four tires, fuel and an air pressure adjustment, lining up fourth for the start of Stage 2. Track position proved valuable in the second stage, as Cindric stayed out during a Lap 105 caution to maintain third place for the restart. He continued to battle inside the top five but reported some brake chatter on that set of tires. Cindric ultimately crossed the line sixth at the end of Stage 2, and the team used the break to reverse their previous adjustment and make additional changes. Starting fifth in the final stage, Cindric held steady inside the top five through the early portion of the run before pitting with 110 laps remaining. A caution with 89 laps to go brought him back to pit road for four tires and fuel, but he restarted just outside the top 10 and had to work his way forward over the closing laps. Despite restarting 11th with under 80 laps to go, Cindric picked off positions in the final run, ultimately crossing the line eighth, securing his second top-10 finish of the season.

CINDRIC’S THOUGHTS: “Being able to get the finishes to go with the speed we’ve had is key. I’m proud of everyone on the No. 2 Menards/Richmond Ford Mustang. It was definitely fast today and we could contend in the top five. I don’t know if we had enough to win the race today, but I don’t think there was anything we were weak at. It was good to be able to manage the runs – there were obviously a ton of long runs. It’s nice to have a couple decent runs headed into the Easter break.”

RYAN BLANEY No. 12 ADVANCE AUTO PARTS FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE
START: 12TH STAGE 1: 8TH STAGE 2: 4TH FINISH: 6TH POINTS: 2ND
RACE RUNDOWN: Ryan Blaney and the No. 12 Advance Auto Parts Ford Mustang Dark Horse team came away with a sixth-place finish Sunday at Martinsville, marking the team’s fifth top-10 result in the first seven races to start the season. After starting 12th, Blaney worked his way into the top-10 of the runner order just 12 laps in before settling into eighth where he went on to finish Stage 1 from. Following a four tire stop and a round of adjustments, Blaney restarted from the inside of row four and picked his way through traffic to reach the top-five by lap 131. As the leaders worked their way through lapped traffic, Blaney was able to complete the pass for fourth with four laps to go in Stage 2 to secure seven more stage points on the afternoon. Following the ensuing restart, the Advance Auto Parts Ford battled to third on the leaderboard before clearing the No. 54 on lap 257 for the runner-up spot and chasing the No. 11 for the lead. With the No. 12 team opting for a one stop strategy for the final run, crew chief Jonathan Hassler called Blaney to pit road under green on lap 291 – a lap after the No. 11 hit pit road – as the completion of the cycle saw Blaney scored third. A caution on lap 324 saw teams come to pit road one final time for four tire stops before Blaney lined up from the inside of row three with 78 laps to go. While battling side-by-side with the No. 11 for the third position, Blaney was forced up the track coming off of turn four and into the outside wall, causing him to lose momentum and drop to eighth in the order with 66 laps remaining. Blaney was able to get back in a rhythm over the final stretch as the race stayed green the rest of the way, working his way back up to sixth before the checkered flag flew.

BLANEY’S THOUGHTS: “Overall, a really good day. I thought we got a little better all day. By the last run or so, I thought we were a top-three car for sure. What happened on the restart kind of put us back. Proud of everybody for recovering, Advance Auto Parts for being with us, Menards, Ford, Ford Racing, everybody who helps us out. Probably one of the better spring races we’ve had in a couple years. Really proud of that effort. Really good day on pit road. Those guys did a great job of staying in it, doing a really good job. Yeah, good run today. Wish it could have been a little bit better. Looking forward to Bristol.”

JOEY LOGANO No. 22 SHELL-PENNZOIL FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE
START: 9TH STAGE 1: 7TH STAGE 2: 3RD FINISH: 3RD POINTS: 12TH
RACE RUNDOWN: Joey Logano and the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Mustang team rebounded for a third-place finish Sunday at Martinsville, marking Logano’s 14th-consecutive top-10 finish at the Virginia short track – the Cup Series’ longest active top-10 streak at any track. Logano started from ninth and settled into seventh in the running order by lap 20 as the opening stage stayed green up until a caution with three laps remaining that brought an end to Stage 1. After the 22 team gained a spot on pit road, Logano took the green flag of the second segment from the outside of row three and worked his way up to third on the leaderboard by lap 121 before beginning to work through lapped traffic. The Shell-Pennzoil Ford was able to maintain pace over the course of the final 60 laps of the run in a third-place result in Stage 2. Another quick four tire stop allowed Logano to be the second car off pit road and take the green flag from the outside of row one as crew chief Paul Wolfe planned to use a one-stop strategy over the course of the final run. Logano battled issues with front turn early on in the run, settling into fifth in the order before the green flag pit cycle began to unfold. Wolfe eventually called Logano to pit road on lap 284 and cycled to sixth before the caution flag flew on lap 312, prompting the final round of pit stops for the lead lap cars. After taking the final restart of the afternoon from the outside of row three with 69 laps to go, Logano worked his way up to third in just 13 laps with his sights set on the leaders. Logano cut the deficit down to just over a second with 15 laps to go, but ultimately took the checkered flag third to secure his second top-five finish of the season.

LOGANO’S THOUGHTS: “Solid rebound for everybody. A track we expect to do well here. Glad to see that. Weekends like last weekend you start to question everything. Nice to have a good rebound, solid car. Our car honestly, if we were able to get to the lead, I don’t know if the No. 9 was any better than us. [Chase Elliott] just got the clean air at the right time. If we were able to do that, we could have been in that position as well. Proud of the team. Good stage points – which we needed in both stages – and a solid third-place. Something nice to head into Easter with. I feel like we definitely got our heads a little bit more wrapped around these type of racetracks. That’s when you got to capitalize. You have to come out here and run top-five when you have those tracks on the schedule. Got to keep working on the other ones.”

Following the off week, the NASCAR Cup Series returns to action at Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City 500 on Sunday, April 12. Live coverage begins at 3:00 p.m. ET on FS1, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

Daniel Suárez – Driver, No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 22ND
FINISH: 20TH
POINTS: 16TH

Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 7 Group1001 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Spire Motorsports, finished 20th in Sunday’s 400-lap race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway after sustaining damage in the Final Stage, to secure his fifth top-20 finish of the season and seventh in 18 starts at the short track.

Suárez started 22nd and worked his way into the top 20 before a caution with just one lap remaining in the stage brought the field to pit road. The No. 7 team used took the opportunity to make an air pressure adjustment aimed at improving overall grip in the Group1001 Chevy and Suárez began the second stage inside the top 20.

The second caution of the day on Lap 106, just 11 laps into Stage 2, with the 34-year-old driver reporting his car started the run too free, then became tight in the center at times, and needed more rear grip for better overall handling. At that time, only 23 cars remained on the lead lap, with Suárez still among them and running in 20th position. As Stage 2 concluded, the Group1001 Women’s History Month machine finished 19th.

The Monterrey, Mexico native restarted 21st for the Final Stage as the race went green with 207 laps remaining in the 400-lap event. Suárez went a lap down to the leader prior to green-flag pit stops and crew chief Ryan Sparks called his driver to pit road on Lap 281 for fuel, four fresh tires, and air pressure adjustments allowing Suárez to cycle out to the 17th position as the first car one lap down. A caution on Lap 312 placed the No. 7 back on the lead lap and following pit stops he restarted 20th with 78 laps remaining. An incident on Lap 325 delivered damage to the nose of Suárez’s car, but after pitting to check over his Camaro he restarted 20th with 69 Laps to go and maintained his position until the checkered flag waved.

Daniel’s Post-Race Comments
“Tough day for our No. 7 Group1001 Chevrolet. It felt like the rear of the car was loose at times. There were moments when it was a little better, and other times when it was worse. I thought we might be able to finish somewhere inside the top 15, but once we got front-end damage we didn’t have much pace. It made things a bit of a struggle, but overall there are some things to learn from, and hopefully we’ll be better next time.”

Michael McDowell – Driver, No. 71 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 20TH
FINISH: 18TH
POINTS: 17TH

Michael McDowell earned his second consecutive top-20 result, and his fifth of the year with a gritty finish of 18th following 400 laps at Martinsville Speedway.

McDowell qualified 20th and struggled with a tight balance early onboard his No. 71 Delaware Life Women’s History Month Chevrolet. The veteran lost two spots during the initial 80-lap stint, finishing Stage 1 in the 22nd position, the last car on the lead lap.

The Glendale Ariz., native gained one position following a full service stop at the stage break to take the green flag in the 21st position. The Cup Series veteran found himself in the 19th position when a caution was displayed on Lap 106 and crew chief Travis Peterson elected to bring McDowell to pit road for a fresh set of Goodyear Eagles, with only a handful of competitors following. McDowell restarted 20th but struggled to regain track position as the field spread out during a 70-lap green-flag run to end Stage 2.

McDowell lined up 19th after gaining two positions during pit stops at the break. Despite maintaining top-10 pace, the leader made his way through the field and to McDowell’s bumper, placing the No. 71 a lap down on lap 263. The Delaware Life crew ran long during the green-flag cycle, finally pitting on lap 292 from the top 10 for fresh tires. The two-time Cup Series winner cycled out 23rd, one lap down, following the completion of the cycle, but a yellow flag was displayed on Lap 311, granting the team their spot back on the lead lap after taking the wave around.. Just a handful of laps after returning to green another caution forced the team to pit road once more after contact with a competitor to assess any potential damage. The No. 71 Chevrolet restarted 18th with 69 laps remaining and maintained his position to the checkered flag.

Michael’s Post-Race Comments
“It was just an average day for this No. 71 Delaware Life Chevrolet team. We had good execution, but we just didn’t have enough speed. I just felt like we ran 20th all day long. We were 28th in practice, qualified 20th and finished 18th. We just didn’t have it this weekend, speed-wise. I felt like we executed well and did everything we needed to on pit road, but it just didn’t work out. Thank you to Spire Motorsports, Delaware Life and Chevrolet for the support. We’ll regroup over the off weekend and get ready for Bristol in a few weeks.”

Carson Hocevar – Driver, No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

START: 7TH
FINISH: 17TH
POINTS: 15TH

Carson Hocevar, driver of Spire Motorsports’ No. 77 Chili’s Ride The Dente Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, recovered from an incident with 75 laps remaining to finish 17th in Sunday’s 400-lap event at Martinsville Speedway, matching a venue-best result.

Hocevar qualified seventh, a career-best starting position in his sixth Cup Series start at short track in Ridgeway, Va. After slipping to the 10th position early, he held serve for the majority of Stage 1, ultimately losing the position and the corresponding stage point coming to the green-and-white checkered flag.

The Portage, Mich., native restarted 12th on Lap 96, but a quick caution on Lap 106 split the field with some teams electing to hit pit road. The No. 77 crew remained on the race track and Hocevar was eventually surpassed by multiple competitors on fresher Goodyear rubber. He held on to close out Stage 2 in 18th.

The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year continued in the 18th position until a round of green-flag pit stops commenced in the Final Stage. Veteran crew chief Luke Lambert made the call to run long on the cycle, eventually bringing the 23-year-old driver to pit road on Lap 291. Hocevar rejoined in 20th and was utilizing his fresher tires to his advantage until a Lap-312 caution pinned him in 17th. Unfortunately, he was later swept up in a Lap-325 incident, dealing cosmetic damage to the left-rear corner of his Chevrolet. Despite the setback, and restarting 24th on Lap 331, Hocevar worked his way forward to finish 17th, matching a venue-best result recorded in April 2024.

Carson’s Post-Race Comments
“I wish we would have finished better. We were really fast. I’m really proud of the speed my No. 77 guys put into our Chili’s Ride The ‘Dente Camaro. We really didn’t need the debris caution in the middle of the green-flag cycle, and then got run over. It’s all part of short track racing. Happy for these guys to get a well deserved week off next week, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to run the truck at Rockingham before getting back in the Cup car at Bristol.”

Event: Cook Out 400

Location: Martinsville Speedway, Ridgeway, Virginia

Date: Sunday, March 29, 2026

Start: 3rd

Finish: 10th

Josh Berry and the No. 21 DEX team continued to build momentum Sunday at Martinsville Speedway, delivering a 10th-place finish in the Cook Out 400 to back up last week’s encouraging run at Darlington Raceway.

Berry also collected nine stage points, bringing his total to 36 for the day and vaulting him seven positions in the standings to 25th.

After a strong showing in practice and qualifying on Saturday, Berry rolled off third and maintained that position throughout the opening 80-lap stage to earn eight stage points.

In the second stage, Berry slipped back slightly but remained inside the top 10, finishing 10th to add another point to his total.

The final stage tested both driver and team, but Berry navigated it cleanly. Early in the run, he avoided a potential incident during a tight three-wide battle, keeping the No. 21 DEX Mustang Dark Horse pointed in the right direction and settling into 13th.

Crew chief Miles Stanley and the DEX team opted for a long-run strategy during green-flag pit stops, allowing Berry to cycle to the lead on Lap 292 and pace the field for two laps before making his stop.

Back on track in 13th, Berry worked his way forward over the closing laps, gaining three positions in the final 70 circuits to secure his second top-10 finish of the season, joining a ninth-place result in the season-opening DAYTONA 500.

Following the off-weekend for Easter, Berry and the No. 21 team return to action at Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City 500 on April 12.

How Advanced Electronics Are Driving Performance in Modern Motorsports

By

Modern motorsports are still mainly a contest of horsepower, tire grip, and driver bravery. But silicon is beginning to play an increasingly important role as well. Long before a car rolls into the pit lane, an electronic components distributor may already be part of the equation, helping teams and manufacturers source the sensors, connectors, control units, and other hardware that now shape performance as much as mechanical design does. 

So, it is no longer just about building the strongest engine or the slipperiest bodywork, but about capturing information and turning it into better decisions lap after lap. In modern motorsports, advanced electronics are becoming central to strategy, reliability, safety, and outright pace. 

Fast Cars Are Data Systems 

Racing has always been about measurement, but today’s cars operate more like rolling networks than stripped-down machines. Each Formula 1 car carries around 300 sensors and generates more than 1.1 million telemetry data points per second, feeding teams a constant stream of information about everything from temperatures and pressures to braking behavior and power delivery. 

Engineers need to know how a driver is using the tires, whether a setup change is helping in medium-speed corners, how aggressively the power unit is being worked, and when performance is beginning to fall away. Electronics make that visible in real time. 

Electronics Shape How Power Is Used 

Power in modern racing is increasingly managed by engine control units, throttle mapping, fuel delivery, regeneration systems, and deployment strategies. 

In NTT IndyCar, for example, the hybrid era added a new tactical layer to racing. When the series introduced hybrid assist, officials said the system and Push to Pass could combine for 120-plus additional horsepower, pushing output to more than 800 horsepower for the first time in two decades. 

The old image of motorsports as a purely mechanical battlefield is outdated, and today, speed often comes from how intelligently a team manages electrical energy under pressure. 

Better Electronics Mean Better Racing 

One of the easiest mistakes to make when talking about racing technology is assuming that electronics only add complexity. In reality, the best systems simplify decision-making for drivers and create more meaningful competition. 

After hybrid technology arrived, IndyCar reported that 12 of the 14 on-track passing records set in 2024 came with the hybrid system in place, and that 71% of passes at Portland were a result of the hybrid power unit. 

When the systems are well integrated, they can improve the spectacle without making the racing feel artificial. More controlled deployment and more overtaking options contribute to a sharper product on track. 

The Driver Interface Has Changed 

Electronics are also changing what the driver sees and how the driver responds. Years ago, NASCAR’s move to digital dashboards hinted at this direction, and the idea still matters because it shows how driver communication has evolved.  

A better interface reduces ambiguity. In a race environment, that can mean earlier recognition of a developing issue and cleaner communication between the cockpit and the pit box. 

This is where automotive electronics become especially important. The same kinds of control logic, display design, sensor integration, and power management that matter in top-level racing increasingly influence the wider vehicle world too.  

Motorsports remains a harsh proving ground, and electronics that survive there tend to teach valuable lessons about durability and human-machine interaction. 

Safety Electronics Are Performance Electronics Too 

The NASCAR Cup Series has offered a strong example of the overlap between driver safety and performance. Driver-worn mouthpieces used to measure head motion, and impacts recorded nearly 1,000 impact events in one section of Watkins Glen, compared with about 3,400 total events across the entire 2023 season.

That may sound exclusively like a safety story at first, but it is also a performance story. When teams and series officials understand where repeated impacts or vibrations are hurting drivers, they can improve the conditions in which they compete. A driver who is less physically punished is better able to attack and perform consistently over a run. 

This Trend Will Only Grow 

There is no realistic path back to simpler racing technology at the top level. The competitive pressure is too high, and the gains are too meaningful. 

Modern motorsports will always celebrate bold overtakes and brave braking, but beneath all of that is the truth that many of the biggest gains now come from the invisible systems that monitor and optimize what happens on track. The cars are still mechanical marvels, but now they are also intelligent machines. 

Advanced electronics help teams understand more, react faster, deploy power better, improve safety, and squeeze more performance from every lap. In a world measured in thousandths, that hidden intelligence is absolutely essential.

In the modern competitive digital world, digital presence has stopped being sufficient to businesses. In order to really stand out, appeal to customers living in the vicinity, and transform the traffic into sales, it has become necessary to invest in local search option services. You can run a small business, a company that is service-based, or an online store where you are selling your products to people living in the same area, yet the right strategy can make your visibility and credibility be so much better.

Local SEO does not only involve coming up in the search engines, but also the creation of trust, authority, and relevance in your region. When properly done, it puts your business at the forefront of the people who are already in need of what you sell.

The reason Local SEO is More Important Than Ever.

Search behavior has evolved. Customers often use the functionalities of search engines to find out the answer to such queries as near me, location, etc. and then decide to buy. It is at this point that local seo services around me come in handy.

A good local search engine optimization approach will make your business to be listed in the local pack of Google, maps, and even the organic search results. Such visibility does not only attract traffic, but also creates trust, because a user is more likely to select businesses that look authoritative and well-rated.

What Is the Secret to Effective Local SEO Services?

All SEO strategies do not produce the same outcome. Good quality local seo services are concerned with a blend of technical skills, practical, and ongoing optimization. This involves optimization of your Google Business Profile, local citations, optimizing your website, and location-specific content.

Here, experience is of significant importance. Any agency or professional who has dealt with varied industries would know what works and what does not work. They do not depend on their gut feelings but on tested strategies to achieve success in the long term and not short bursts.

Also, credibility is one of the determinants. Honesty and openness in reporting, a transparent company, and effective communication should form the building blocks of any trusted SEO provider. When establishing business partners, businesses should always seek partners with sustainable growth instead of those who seek quick and risky wins.

Creating Authority with the help of Strategic SEO.

Your business must prove to be authoritative in order to rank above others in the local search results. This is done by regular branding, potential backlinking, favorable customer reviews, as well as pertinent content. To achieve this authority, many businesses resort to the best seo services so that they can achieve their goal.

Particularly, content creation is an important component. It is important to publish helpful, informative, and relevant content that is covered in the area in which you conduct your business to signal to your search engines that your business exists and it is worthwhile. With time, this develops credibility with the search engines as well as your audience.

Besides, technical SEO factors, including mobile optimization, page speed, and structured data, enhance the user experience. The above factors are critical to the success of websites as search engines put a lot of emphasis on fast, user-friendly, and easy-to-navigate websites.

Local search engine optimization of E-commerce Businesses.

Although local SEO has been linked to brick-and-mortar stores, it is also relevant in online enterprises that have a focus on a particular locality. A qualified ecommerce seo firm could assist the online stores to optimize the local search results, better exposure of the products, and draw customers in the neighborhood.

As an example, product pages can be optimized using location-based keywords, landing pages can be designed to handle regions of operation, and local backlinks can be handled, which can be of great use in search ranking. This is one way that e-commerce companies have been able to compete not only at the international level but also at specific regional levels.

The Significance of Trust and Transparency.

One of the strongest frameworks for assessing the quality of SEO is E-E-A-T: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. The companies are advised to deal with experts who possess practical experience, clear strategies, and have quantifiable outcomes.

Consistent performance, honest communication, and a proven track record help in building trust. Credibility can be built with case studies, client testimonials, open reporting, etc. Businesses gain confidence in their SEO partner and tend to achieve long-term success.

Final Thoughts

The correct local SEO plan can change your company. Whether it is deepening your visibility and growing a motivated flow of traffic to sell more and establish long-term influence, the rewards are undeniable.

Selecting the right provider of local SEO services ensures your business remains competitive in a rapidly evolving digital world. Sustainable growth and success can be achieved by addressing aspects such as proven strategies, ethical practices, and user-oriented optimization.

With local searches making real decisions in the world, it is all about being visible at the right time, and proper use of SEO will make that possible.

How To Use Omnilux LED Mask For Glowing Skin?

By
SM
-

You might have a full routine skincare regimen, and your skin still appears flat, dim, or fatigued. You use serums, moisturizers, and treatments regularly, but the outcomes tend to level off. This is because the vast majority of skincare products act at the surface layer, and deeper skin levels that restore and regenerate the skin are not stimulated.

Consequently, fine lines remain, texture is irregular, and your natural glow diminishes with age. This is where LED light therapy, such as an Omnilux LED mask, provides a more targeted solution by working beneath the skin to support collagen production and cellular renewal.

Results are, however, entirely dependent on the way you use the device. Misuse, lack of a regular routine, or improper preparation can limit its effectiveness.

This article describes the application of the Omnilux LED mask to achieve a uniform and visible skin glow.

1. Prepare Your Skin to Maximize Light Absorption 

It is important to prepare the skin before applying the Omnilux LED mask, without proper preparation, the device cannot deliver optimal results.

Begin by washing your face. Use a mild cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, dirt, and excess oil. This ensure your skin is thoroughly clean, and there is no obstacle that might block the penetration of light.

Next, pat your skin dry. Do not leave moisture on the surface, as this may disrupt the even distribution of the light on your skin.

Heavy serums, oils, or creams should not be used at this stage. These products have the potential to form a layer that makes LED therapy less effective. Rather, leave your skin bare as much as possible.

In case you intend to use a hydrogel mask, place it now. It aids in moisturizing the skin, as well as enhancing the penetration of light at deeper levels.

Effective treatment depends on proper preparation and makes each session of the treatment yield measurable benefits.

2. Position Mask Properly for Even Results 

After preparing your skin, the next step is to wear the mask correctly. This is a step that should not be ignored, but it has a direct effect on the evenness of your skin in receiving the treatment.

Cover your face with the mask and align it accordingly. The mask must fit well without being too tight against your skin. Simultaneously, it should remain secure and stable.

Make sure that every part of your face is covered evenly. Focus on areas such as the cheeks, forehead, and jawline. In case the mask is not positioned correctly, some parts can have less light exposure and therefore, will produce uneven outcomes.

Further, select a comfortable posture during a session. Sitting or lying down will allow the mask to remain stable and avoid unwarranted movement.

Through proper positioning, you enable the light therapy to be applied uniformly over your skin, which results in balanced and noticeable changes.

The timing is an important factor in LED treatment. Every session is designed to deliver a specific dose of light energy to your skin, and breaking this schedule may decrease its efficacy.

The sessions are generally about 10 minutes. This duration should be adhered to. Prolonging the session does not speed up results. Rather, it can enhance the probability of sensitivity without contributing additional benefits.

Conversely, reducing the length of the session will reduce the amount of light that reaches your skin. This minimizes the stimulation required in collagen production and skin repair.

Hence, take the suggested time as a constant parameter. Always follow it in every session, to be consistent and effective.

In this way, you develop a regulated practice that enables your skin to react slowly and effectively.

4. Build Consistent Weekly Routine 

Build Consistent Weekly Routine 

LED light therapy is not a one-time solution. It works through consistent stimulation of your skin’s natural processes, which means consistency is essential. 

For best results, use the mask three to five times per week. This frequency allows your skin to adapt and respond without becoming overwhelmed. 

During the first couple of weeks, you may notice subtle improvements such as smoother texture and a slight increase in brightness. However, more visible changes—such as improved firmness and reduced fine lines—develop over time. 

Skipping sessions frequently disrupts this process. As a result, your progress may slow down or become inconsistent. 

To avoid this, schedule your sessions as part of your weekly routine. Treat them as a regular skincare step rather than an occasional treatment. 

5. Apply Skincare After Session for Better Results 

After completing your LED session, your skin becomes more receptive to active ingredients. This is the ideal time to apply targeted skincare products. 

If you used a hydrogel mask, remove it gently and massage any remaining serum into your skin. This helps enhance hydration and supports the effects of the treatment. 

Next, apply lightweight serums that align with your skin goals. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid can boost hydration, while niacinamide can help improve skin tone and texture. 

Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration and support the skin barrier. If you are using the mask during the day, finish with sunscreen to protect your skin from environmental damage. 

Conclusion 

Using an LED mask effectively requires more than simply turning it on. Each step—from preparation and positioning to consistency and aftercare—plays a critical role in achieving visible results. 

When used correctly, LED light therapy becomes a powerful tool that works beneath the surface to improve skin health. It supports collagen production, enhances texture, and gradually restores your natural glow. 

Instead of relying on quick fixes, this method encourages a structured and consistent approach. Over time, this leads to healthier, more radiant skin that reflects the effort you invest in your routine.
