WILLIAM BYRON, NO. 24 HENDRICK AUTOGUARD/CITY CHEVROLET THROWBACK CAMARO ZL1 – Pole Winner:

NICELY DONE! HOW DID YOU DO IT?
“I don’t know. I guess we dropped the hammer on that one! But no, it was good. The car was really good for us. We luckily did a mock run yesterday. We had enough time to do one at the end of the first practice session and I feel like that helped us just propel our qualifying effort a little bit more. We kind of knew what the grip level was going to be like and kind of what our balance was going to be. It’s good to have the No. 24 City Chevrolet on the pole and we’ll just see what we can do for 500 miles.”

ANOTHER CROWN JEWEL POLE FOR YOU. DID YOU AND CHAD KNAUS (CREW CHIEF) LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE AND SAID OKAY, LET’S MAKE SURE WE WIN THE POLE AT THESE TRACKS?
“No, it seems like we put more into those qualifying efforts just knowing how important track position is and knowing if we can have the number one pit stall all day long and/or all night long, it would be a big deal. We’ll see what happens. It’s a really long race. I’ve just got to run all 500 miles. We’re in a good spot with the points, so we can be aggressive.”

IN PRACTICE YESTERDAY, OUTSIDE OF THAT VERY GOOD MOCK QUALIFYING RUN, WHAT DID YOU DISCOVER ABOUT YOUR CAR IN RACE TRIM?
“I thought we were solid. You’re always looking for more rear grip, more turn; it’s typical of short track or slick race track things. But, I felt like our rear grip was better toward the end of practice. We were a little bit tight in the final run on stickers. Off of (Turn) 4 wasn’t quite as good as we wanted to be, but we made some good adjustments overnight and leaned on our teammates, too. And, I think we’re in a decent spot for tomorrow. It’s all about patience and trying to get through the last 100 laps with a good shot at it; and with a clean right-side, too.”

OTHER THAN ‘DROP THE HAMMER’, WHAT IS YOUR MOST-USED DAYS OF THUNDER PHRASE FROM YOUR LIPS THIS WEEKEND?
“Oh, man. I don’t even know. I guess we shaved this one like a bullet. So, we’ll see what happens.”

BRITTANY FORCE AND ADVANCE AUTO PARTS SIT NO. 1 FRIDAY AT THE CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE U.S. NATIONALS

BRITTANY FORCE AND ADVANCE AUTO PARTS SIT NO. 1 FRIDAY AT THE CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE U.S. NATIONALS
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Aug. 30, 2019) — Brittany Force and Advance Auto Parts lead John Force Racing on day one of the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis. The John Force Racing quad of hot rods each took their first of five qualifying passes Friday night under the lights during prime time racing at the world’s biggest drag race.

Sitting second in the NHRA Mello Yello points standings, Brittany Force, back in the colors of her Advance Auto Parts Top Fuel dragster, launched her 11,000-horsepower machine to a stout 3.670-second pass at 327.27 mph with header flames lit to steal the No. 1 spot. The Top Fuel phenom, paired with current points leader and reigning champion Steve Torrence, out-performed the rest of the Top Fuel class as the last run of Friday night’s pyrotechnic filled session.

“It definitely felt fast. You could feel it especially on the track out there, it’s a good race track. I saw some cars ahead of me that weren’t quite getting down that lane but we went right down there and put an awesome number on the board, a .67. We’ll take that No. 1 spot,” Force said. “I think that will hold up. It’s a pretty awesome run. Tomorrow we run a little bit earlier but the next few days are going to really be the important ones, the early sessions setting us up for Sunday. I have David Grubnic and Mac Savage behind me and we’ll get some good runs in all weekend. We’re really looking for consistency because that’s where we’ve been struggling in qualifying and qualifying well, so it’s a good start to this weekend and we’re very happy with that.”

Two-time Funny Car world champion Robert Hight raced his Automobile Club of Southern California Chevy Camaro SS to a solid 3.896-second pass at 331.94 mph for his first go at the Indianapolis race track, good enough for the fifth spot. With a 179-points lead, Hight only needs to lock in a qualifying position to win his first regular season championship and start the countdown from the No. 1 spot.

“Well, first, I’m glad we’re finally underway. It seems like it’s taking forever to get this race going and you know, we’re fifth. Not a terrible spot, we were hoping for a little more but if you push harder you also risk smoking the tires so we’re in a good spot,” said Hight. “Funny Cars go second tomorrow and it may cool off enough in the evening run to where the Auto Club Chevy can push. I think there’s more left out there and I’m not at all disappointed with tonight.”

John Force handled his PEAK Chevrolet Performance Accessories Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car to 3.942-seconds at 326.00 mph to land in the seventh spot with four qualifying sessions still left. The 16-time champion assured his spot in the countdown at the Northwest Nationals where he also conquered his 150th Mello Yello tour win and is sitting third in the points standings.

“Tonight, Robert Hight was fifth with that Auto Club team and I ended up seventh with PEAK and Chevrolet Performance Accessories. We were making sure we got our Chevy’s in the show but we got a lot left in them,” said Force. “Brittany was low ET in the Advance Auto Parts dragster, Prock and Montana Brand, well they had a problem out there but they’ll get it figured out, still a long weekend, lots more qualifying.”

Rookie of the Year candidate Austin Prock had trouble off the starting line when his Montana Brand / Rocky Mountain Twist dragster shook the tires early to run 7.404-seconds at 86.21 mph. With four more qualifying sessions to go at the Indianapolis race track, Prock is sitting eighth in the points standings and is looking to secure a spot in the Countdown.

“Tough night, not the way we wanted to start out but we got it behind us. The car shook and our computer system didn’t work so we got no data to see what happened. Tomorrow is a new day. We still have four more qualifying runs to straighten this thing out and I know we can do it,” said Prock. “I’m really excited to be at the U.S. Nationals. I’ve been dreaming about this ever since I can remember. I was watching the Funny Car session in front of us and it just hit me that I’m at the Big Go, so it’s definitely an exciting weekend and hopefully we can add a Wally to top it off”

The championship contenders for the NTT IndyCar Series Championship – including Team Chevy drivers Josef Newgarden, No. 2 Hitachi Team Penske Chevrolet, and Simon Pagenaud, No. 22 Menards Team Penske Chevrolet – met with members of the media Friday at Portland International Raceway. Transcript below:

THE MODERATOR: Let’s start with the championship contenders. We’ll lead off with the championship leader, Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden.

Josef, you got a 38-point lead on your teammate. 38 points is an advantage that hasn’t been overcome since 2008, at least. You feel comfortable, confident?

JOSEF NEWGARDEN: What about (Scott) Dixon? I feel like that was way more than 38 points. I felt like I was 85 with two to go. Where was he in the finale?

THE MODERATOR: Are you comfortable?

JOSEF NEWGARDEN: No, no, absolutely not (laughter). Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Grand Prix of Portland

DANIEL HEMRIC, NO. 8 CATERPILLAR CAMARO ZL1 Media Breakout Session Highlights:

TIRES HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT CONSERVATIVE THIS YEAR. TIRES ARE ALWAYS IMPORTANT HERE, BUT DO YOU THINK THEY ARE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEY HAVE BEEN THIS SEASON?
“I wish I could give you a true reading on that, but I don’t think I ran more than three or four laps at a time so far. We’ve been really trying to work on the balance. For some of the guys that have ran longer runs, they seemed to have a moment to fall off like it always does here, so tires are going to be just as crucial as they always are. It’s going to be interesting. I think we won’t really know how the tires are going to behave until we get to watch the Xfinity race, see how the rubber lays. Luckily, we have a car with Tyler Reddick in it. Those guys can communicate with us and see what they find is good for managing tire wear. Hopefully we can kind of lean on them some. But this is the same tire we raced at Chicago so we have some trends with that particular tire.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Darlington–Daniel Hemric

THE 2021 NASCAR CUP SCHEDULE IS EXPECTED TO SHAKE-UP A BIT IN 2021. SHOULD INDIANAPOLIS A TRACK BEST SUITED FOR NASCAR AND SHOULD IT STAY ON THE SCHEDULE?
“Just from my own point of view it would be a bummer not to go to the Brickyard with the history of that race track. I guess you could argue the fact that they have a road course, and road course racing is pretty entertaining for Cup cars. Maybe that’s an option.

DO YOU FEEL MORE POWERFUL WHEN YOU HAVE THE OUTFIT OR UNIFORM ON?
“When I have the wig, mustache, aviators and Tim Richmond fire suit, I’m just not me anymore (laughs). I guess in character would be the best way to say that. It took me a minute for sure during the photo shoot. I was like man this is awkward, but it was pretty cool.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Darlington–Alex Bowman

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK, THERE’S ALWAYS DISCUSSION ABOUT INDIANAPOLIS AND WHETHER NASCAR DESERVES A DATE GOING THERE. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON INDIANAPOLIS AND ITS PLACE ON THE SCHEDULE? DOES IT STILL HAVE RELEVANCE IN NASCAR?
“I don’t know. I mean as long as I’ve been alive, they’ve been going there. So, for me, yeah, I think we should be racing there. Obviously, the racing isn’t the most exciting there, but it’s still a historical place that I always enjoy going to, getting to be in the garage area and going around the same race track that some legends have. I don’t really know how else to answer that, but I think it deserves to be on the schedule.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Darlington–Kyle Larson
