Scelzi Enjoys Successful Season Thanks to Summer in the Midwest
Inside Line Promotions – FRESNO, Calif. (Nov. 21, 2016) – Dominic Scelzi pushed himself outside of his comfort zone in 2016 when Scelzi and his Roth Motorsports sponsored, family owned team left the familiar confines of California to compete in the Midwest throughout the summer.
“I knew it was going to be tough and the chances of winning were going to be slim, but it was a necessary step to get better as a racer,” he said. “My goal was to get better every night. I think the biggest thing was knowing this won’t be a deal where I’m going to set the world on fire. You have to take your lumps. We used it as a learning experience and it paid off before the season ended.” Continue reading Scelzi Enjoys Successful Season Thanks to Summer in the Midwest

Disappointing Finish at Homestead Doesn’t Dampen Motorcraft/Quick Lane Team’s Enthusiasm About 2017
November 20, 2016
An early encounter with the wall kept Ryan Blaney and the Motorcraft/Quick Lane team from achieving the result they were hoping for in the season-ending Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. But as Blaney and the team head into the off-season, the future looks much more encouraging.
Team co-owner Len Wood said the 2016 season has been a great learning experience for Blaney and his young crew, and that will pay dividends in the future.
“Ryan now has a full year under his belt,” Wood said. “He’s run all the tracks, and next year will be a lot better for him.” Continue reading Disappointing Finish at Homestead Doesn’t Dampen Motorcraft/Quick Lane Team’s Enthusiasm About 2017

DID YOU EVER DREAM THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE?
“Oh my gosh, there is no, no way on earth. Just beyond words. Just didn’t think the race was unfolding for us like we needed to do to be the champs, but we just kept our heads in the game. Chad called a great strategy, made some great adjustments for the short runs. Luck came our way and we were able to win the race and win the championship. I wouldn’t be here without so many people believing in me and giving me this chance; from my dirt days – my parents first and foremost, my brothers, my wife and family today. Car owners, sponsors, Chevrolet, Lowe’s, so many amazing people along the way that believed in me to give me this chance. Jeff Gordon, Rick Hendrick, all the men and women at Hendrick Motorsports for working so hard to get these cars fast and giving me an awesome 15 years with the company. Just thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. So thrilled to be in this moment and so grateful for the opportunity and so thankful and blessed.

Late Race Incident Collects Ty Dillon and No. 95 Advil Chevrolet Costing Team a Top-10 Finish
“We were so solid all day. I’m really happy with our effort all weekend long and how much speed that we showed. We unfortunately just got caught up in that big wreck in the closing laps of the race. It stinks, because it looked like we were on our way to a top-10 finish. Matt (Borland, crew chief) called a great race and we had some really solid pit stops. The balance of the race car was pretty spot on all race and that’s credit to Matt and the guys for being prepared. I’m proud of our No. 95 Advil Chevrolet and the partial season I was able to race with this team. I’m excited for what the future holds. I’ve learned a lot this season and am appreciative of the opportunity.”

Austin Dillon Closes Out 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Season with 12th-Place Finish in Dow-Dow Corning Chevrolet at Homestead-Miami Speedway
“We had a really good Dow-Dow Corning Chevrolet today. I’m so proud of everyone at RCR for putting together a car that was so unbelievably fast. We worked as a team and used a lot of what we learned at the Homestead-Miami test a few weeks ago. At the beginning of the race, I thought we were going to drive to the lead. The race just didn’t play to our favor at the end. I want to thank all of the partners on the No. 3 car. We’ve had a great season making the Chase for the Sprint Cup and the last few weeks have shown what we are capable of.”

Paul Menard and the No. 27 Richmond/Menards Team Produce 14th-Place Finish in Season Finale
“First, I’ve got to thank my team for all the hard work they put in this year. This schedule can be tough. The Richmond/Menards Chevy wasn’t handling like we had it during practice at the beginning of the race. We were good in the shade but handling went away in the sun. Once the sun went down, we were able to make adjustments in the right direction. The long green-flag runs didn’t do us any favors as we were caught a lap down more than once. We were able to race to the free pass position though, and started in the top 15 in the closing laps. It wasn’t the year we wanted. Luckily I have a team that doesn’t give up. We’ll regroup in the offseason and come back fresh in Daytona.”

Late-Race Accident Collects Ryan Newman and Ends Caterpillar Team’s Top-10 Bid at Homestead-Miami Speedway
“I hate it for the guys. Our Caterpillar Chevrolet struggled a bit today compared to Friday and Saturday, but Luke Lambert and the crew made our car better throughout the race to take an 11th-place car and put it into contention with 20 laps to go. I want to thank my Caterpillar pit crew for gaining me a bunch of spots on pit road. We gained track position after most, if not, every pit stop we made. Unfortunately we got caught up in the big wreck. We tried to do everything we could to stay out and limp home to the finish, but our Caterpillar Chevrolet was too damaged to complete the final few laps. I want to thank everyone at RCR for a solid season and look forward to returning in 2017 to compete for another championship. ”

Austin Dillon Closes Out 2016 NASCAR XFINITY Series Season With Fifth-Place Finish in the Watts/Rheem Chevrolet at Homestead-Miami Speedway
“This was a really fun race to be a part of. I hope the fans had as much fun watching the Championship 4 contenders vying for a championship as I did racing alongside them. We were definitely in contention tonight. I wish we could have made a final run for the win but the Watts/Rheem Chevy was handling a little too tight. I want to thank Rheem and Ruud for everything this season. I’ve had fun in the NASCAR XFINITY Series and I appreciate the opportunity.”

Ty Dillon Battles for the Win in Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet, Finishes Second in NASCAR XFINITY Series Season Finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway
“What an exciting race that came down to the final laps. I thought we may have been able to grab the win there at the end. We showed so much speed all weekend and the entire race, but probably needed two or three more laps to run down the 19 car. I’m proud of our effort tonight and appreciate the hard work all season by this team. We would obviously rather be racing for the championship at the end but things didn’t work out in this new Chase format. I want to thank Bass Pro Shops, Rheem, WESCO and VF Imagewear and all of our partners on this No. 3 team for all of the support this season. We’ll be back stronger than ever next year. I’m excited where our XFINITY Series program ended this season.”

Brandon Jones Closes Out Rookie NASCAR XFINITY Series Season with 15th-Place Finish in Rain-X/Advance Auto Parts Chevrolet
“I felt like we had a pretty solid rookie season in the NASCAR XFINITY Series. We always want to be better than we were the previous week, and tonight we should have been better. We had a fast Rain-X/Advance Auto Parts Chevrolet. Crew chief Nick Harrison and the entire No. 33 crew worked hard on this Chevy all week long. It was definitely one of our better 1.5-mile cars this year. This track is tough, but we have a really solid notebook for next season. We’re going to come back next year and be that much better. I can’t thank all of our partners enough for the support this season. They have been great to work with each and every week.”

Brendan Gaughan Earns Eighth-Place Finish in the South Point Chevrolet at Homestead-Miami Speedway to Conclude 2016 NASCAR XFINITY Series Season with a Career-Best 16 Top-10 Finishes
“I’m always a guy that wants more. I wish we could have earned a top-five finish tonight but we fired off tight almost every restart. Our team kept digging, though, and by the end of the race we had a South Point Chevrolet that could have made it happen tonight. During the last pit stop we had a hiccup that made for a longer stop. When I mess up the crew makes up for me, and when they mess up I make up for them. We had a great restart at the end and I was able to pass eight cars. I can’t thank my crew chief, Shane Wilson, and everyone at RCR enough for all of the effort that went into the No. 62 program this year.”

Red Horse Racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway
For the final race of the 2016 season, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series teams went far south to Miami, Florida and Homestead-Miami Speedway. On Friday, teams participated in two practice sessions in the morning. Matt Tifft, in the No. 11 BrainGear/Surface Sunscreen Toyota Tundra, posted the 16th and 17th fastest times, while Timothy Peters, in the No. 17 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, was 11th and 18th on the board. Friday afternoon, the lineup for the 201-lap event was set with two rounds of single-truck, knockout qualifying. Neither Tifft or Peters transferred out of the first round, and Peters would start the race 13th, while Tifft rolled off from the 22nd position. Peters entered the evening as part of the inaugural NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship 4. The green flag waved, and Peters quickly began to move toward the front. Tifft encountered a vibration on his Toyota Tundra, and was forced to pit under green flag conditions, going a lap down, but the 20-year-old made up ground and finished on the lead lap in 12th. Following a loose wheel and a change in handling on his red-and-white Tundra, Peters finished the night in ninth, fourth in the Championship Chase.

Timothy Peters Earns Top-Ten Finish, Fourth-Place in Points Standings
Timothy Peters and the No. 17 Red Horse Racing team earned a ninth-place finish in the season-ending event at Homestead-Miami Speedway and a fourth-place result in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase. On Friday, teams participated in two practice sessions and Peters posted the 11th and 18th fastest times. Qualifying consisted of two rounds of single-truck, knockout qualifying, and Peters barely missed the final round, locking in the 13th starting spot. The green flag flew just after 8 p.m. and in race conditions Peters was quite happy with the balance of the red-and-white machine, moving into the top five by lap 12. On lap 15, crew chief Shane Huffman called Peters to pit road under caution and gave him four scuffed tires and fuel as well as an air pressure adjustment. Peters restarted in fourth, but did not like the balance of the Tundra with that set of tires. Under a caution on lap 42, Peters returned to pit road for four fresh tires and fuel, but still sought a different feel in the No. 17 Tundra. On lap 83, Peters visited pit road again, but trouble on the stop put him back in traffic. A few laps later, Peters reported a vibration, and when he returned to pit road under caution on lap 111 the team discovered that the right front tire was slightly loose. In the final laps, Peters battled intensely with two other Championship Chase contenders, but ultimately would cross the line in the ninth position, and finish fourth in the inaugural NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship Chase. In 2016, the Danville, Virginia native earned eight top-five and 16 top-10 finishes in 23 races. The fourth-place points finish is Peters’ second-best finish in eight years of full time competition.

Timothy Peters Quote:
“Everybody did a great job. One pit stop – it is what it is. These guys do a great job for me every week. All we wanted was a shot coming down here. We were so good when we initially fired off the start of the race. It never would come back, so I don’t know. I’ll be scratching my head a little bit, but all in all it’s still a great year for the Red Horse Racing team. Just so proud to be in this moment. It’s really surreal and we wanted to get that championship, but fourth isn’t too shabby.”

Tifft Rebounds For 12th-Place Finish in Homestead
In his second-career start at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Matt Tifft put a period on his 2016 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series campaign with a 12th-place finish. Tifft rallied from a loose wheel and regained a lap to claw his way back into contention by the end of the season’s finale. The Hinckley, Ohio native began his night from the 22nd position and wasted no time moving forward, entering the top-15 by lap 20. Shortly thereafter on lap 29, Tifft’s night would be threatened. A vibration forced him to make an unscheduled four-tire pit stop under green on lap 29, and from there, the rally from 32nd began. A fortuitous caution on lap 43 allowed him to take advantage of the wave around and rejoin the lead lap. With a 12-lap disadvantage on tires, Tifft muscled his BrainGear/Surface Sunscreen Toyota into the top-20 by lap 75. While he lost a lap to the leaders on lap 81, Tifft stayed in the Lucky Dog position until a lap 84 caution which brought him back into contention on the lead lap. After climbing his way to 14th, trouble on his final four-tire pit stop under yellow at lap 111 when another truck contacted Tifft’s front tire carrier, sent him back to 19th. The 20-year-old made the most of the season’s final restart on lap 115, completing four-wide passes and using every available lane on the progressively-banked surface to climb to 12th at the checkered flag. Tifft closed his 2016 NCWTS efforts with one top-five three top-10, and eight top-15 finishes in 10 starts.
Start – 22
Finish – 12
Owner Points Position – 7
Laps Led – 0
Matt Tifft Quote:
“We started off just a little tight, but once we got rolling, we were pretty good tonight. We had the vibration. I’m not sure what it was, it started sparking and we were playing catch-up from there. It’s hard to come back from that. Then one of our guys got run into on pit road, and we didn’t have anything go our way in that department. I think we had top-five speed in our Brain Gear/ urface Sunscreen Toyota and could have gone up and played with those guys towards the front. It’s hard to capitalize on those things when you’re playing catch-up. Once again, we made a good finish out of a night that could have been worse. These guys at Red Horse Racing dig hard and we do everything we can to knock good finishes down. I’m glad we were able to come back and finish the season out on a solid note.”

“I am just so proud of everybody on this Jimmy John’s Chevrolet team. They want to come to the race track and bring good race cars and perform well. Just real proud of that. I didn’t know if we had a chance at the pole with as fast as the No. 24 (Chase Elliott) had been. But I knew if we could just run the same speed every round, that is half the battle because you never know how much it is going to slow down for everybody else, and it doesn’t take much to make a mistake. Really proud of everybody on our Jimmy John’s team. Have to thank everyone at Hendricks Engines and Chassis and everybody at Stewart-Haas Racing and Tony Stewart for one last race.

You know you get involved in this business and you meet people along the way and I’m just sorry we didn’t work harder to do more with him as a driver with our team. Obviously the opportunity didn’t present itself from time to time, but did an outstanding job and I think had a real shot at the Indy 500 that day. We just had a bad pit stop and couldn’t get him out of the pits and that was the end of the day. Did a great job for us and it was kind of before doing the double had all the excitement or the interest from everybody that it has today. I think it was 2001 when we did that and I’m just sorry we didn’t work harder to have him around more. It is 2001 and it just seems like it was a couple of years ago.”
