CHASE ELLIOTT, NO. 9 HOOTERS CAMARO ZL1 – Pole Winner
YOU KNEW THE CAR WAS FAST GOING INTO QUALIFYING, BUT DID YOU KNOW IT WAS TWO AND A HALF TENTHS FASTER THAN THE REST OF THE FIELD?
“No, I didn’t know it was that fast. Our Hooters Chevy has been nice all weekend. We made a couple of changes actually at the end of that last practice before the rain and made it go a little faster. I hope that translates to a good driving car tomorrow night. Obviously, a lot of speed in our Chevrolet’s. I’ve said this before, but we have put a lot of effort into our speedway program at Hendrick Motorsports. The engine shop, chassis shop, body shop, we take a lot of pride in coming to these races. They pay the same amount of points as the rest of them, so it matters and our team treats it that way and their hard work pays off.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Daytona–Qualifying Notes →

INAUDIBLE
“Yeah, I’ve read a little bit of it. It’s all good in my direction. I think there’s still a lot of people that don’t really like Kyle Busch that have some things to say about him. It’s been cool to see and nice to see the support and to see the passion of a lot of race fans.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Daytona–Kyle Larson →

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO COME BACK HERE TO DAYTONA WHERE YOU HAD SOME SUCCESS EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND IT WAS PROBABLY THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR SEASON SO FAR?
“Its good to be back here in Daytona. You know when you are back in Daytona when you can’t breathe, and your sinuses are acting up. We’re back and it’s kind of the same way it started when I was here in February. But looking back on that race, it was pretty much a week and a half of great things that happened for us. The weeks you hope it to happen now and you don’t really get that. There are usually some bumps in the road that you hit. I just kind of remember going through all the emotions of trying to be cool and collected, not getting over-anxious about anything, and let things come to me. So, I think that is kind of the same game plan we have this weekend. Just let it all come to us and try and survive. I think we had three close instances during the 500 when we should have been on the hook wadded up, and it just didn’t happen. So, hopefully we can have that same kind of luck and good grace on our side to continue to press on and set ourselves up for a good finish at the end.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Daytona–Bubba Wallace →

WHAT’S IT LIKE COMING BACK TO DAYTONA FOR A SUMMER RACE AS THE DAYTONA 500 CHAMPION?
“It feels great. Any time you come through the tunnel you’ve been able to win a couple of races here and I’ve enjoyed this place from the beginning. I feel like I’ve been coming here since I was born. It’s like a second home to me. I know a lot of people here and I even come back for Easter most of the time. I always enjoy coming down here and have the opportunity to have a chance to win a race. You feel better when you get to the speedway because the plan feels level.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Daytona–Austin Dillon →

Chevrolet Seeks to Add to Substantial Victory Total
NHRA New England Nationals kick off second half of the season

DETROIT (July 5, 2018) – Erica Enders’ steady progress on the racetrack this season is due in large part to a labor-intensive commitment by team personnel, which incorporates the driver of the Melling Performance/Elite Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro SS.

The two-time Pro Stock champion has advanced to the final round in three of the past five National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Mello Yello Drag Racing Series races, including the most recent in Norwalk, Ohio. Points garnered during the stretch have allowed Enders to climb from seventh to third in the standings entering NHRA New England Nationals in Epping, New Hampshire.
