MICHIGAN HERITAGE:

Since then, three of his five career wins have occurred at the 2-mile track nestled in the Irish Hills of Michigan. Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR0– Michigan Advance →

Will Power
Press Conference Transcript

THE MODERATOR: We’ll get started with our Verizon IndyCar Series post-race press conference. Joined now by our second-place finishe, Will Power. Will Power, finishing second in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, started third in today’s race, and it is his fifth podium finish here on the Streets of Belle Isle. Will, you said yesterday that you felt like you worked really hard for a seventh-place finish. How do you feel about your performance today and ultimately the podium result?

WILL POWER: Yeah, I feel like this was about as good as we could get, give how fast Hunter-Reay was. There was just no way anyone was going to beat him. We just seemed to struggle a little bit on full tanks and cold tires, but very happy with the result. You know, I feel like with what we had, that’s the most that we could have got out of that race, so very happy. Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Bell Isle–Will Power →

An interview with Funny Car winner ROBERT HIGHT, JOHN FORCE RACING, AUTO CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHEVROLET CAMARO SS (No. 12 qualifier; 42nd career win and fourth final round of season; first victory since Dallas in 2017, where he beat Ron Capps):

IT’S BEEN AWHILE SINCE YOU’VE VISITED THE WINNER’S CIRCLE
“I was beginning to think Chicago had my number. I’ve been in the final a few times but the first win in Chicago is pretty special. I don’t even think I pulled the chutes in qualifying. We were having some problems, but when you have a team like this behind you you just know you’re going to get it turned around. We had a big lineup of heavy hitter drivers to go up against today. It’s pretty cool. Chicago is pretty close to Brownsburg, Indiana, so a lot of families from our machine shop and fab shop are here to celebrate this with us. It couldn’t be more special.”

LAST YEAR, YOUR FIRST WIN DIDN’T COME UNTIL DENVER SO YOU’RE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
“Honestly, I believe we are ahead of where we were last year and we all know how that turned out. But we’re not going to count things too quick. There are a lot of good teams out here. It’s tougher than ever. The first at Chicago is pretty awesome.”

KYLE LARSON TAKES HIS CAMARO ZL1 TO RUNNER-UP FINISH AT POCONO
Three Camaro ZL1 Drivers Earn Top Ten Finishes at the ‘Tricky Triangle’

LONG POND, Pa. (June 3, 2018) – Kyle Larson used determination and hard racing to earn his third runner-up finish of the year in his DC Solar Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway. Even though Larson came up just shy of scoring his first win of the season once again, he was happy with the team’s result.

“I am happy we finished second because we were probably a sixth or seventh place car today and to finish better than where you run is always a good thing,” said Larson. “I am happy about that. Our DC Solar Chevy was competitive, but needs to be a little bit better to compete with the 18, the 4, and the 78. They are definitely the class of the field. We are close and we are getting a little bit better, but so are they. So we just have to keep working hard.” Continue reading KYLE LARSON TAKES HIS CAMARO ZL1 TO RUNNER-UP FINISH AT POCONO →

KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 DC SOLAR CAMARO ZL1 – Finished 2nd
THAT RESTART, WITH LESS THAN 10 TO GO. GREAT MOVES BY THE 78 OF TRUEX BUT A GREAT COUNTER BY YOU
“Yeah, I actually liked that the 78 tried to pull down and block me a little bit because it messed his angle up to the corner. I knew he would have to slow down a little more on entry and I was hoping I could get close enough to him to get him loose. Which I did, but I also got kind of loose behind him. So I just had to tuck back in line on exit and then had to try and fight off the 18 and the 4 behind me. I was just trying to stay lower than them on exit to get them tight. I am happy we finished second because we were probably a sixth or seventh place car today and to finish better than where you run is always a good thing. I am happy about that. Our DC Solar Chevy was competitive, but needs to be a little bit better to compete with the 18, the 4, and the 78. They are definitely the class of the field.
