STRONG START FOR JFR AT SUMMIT NATIONALS
Norwalk, Ohio – Unseasonably cool temperatures gave the stars of the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series the perfect opportunity to flex their tune-up and performance muscles today at the 9th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. Defending Funny Car winner John Force is well on the way to positioning himself and his white Chevrolet Camaro SS for their third win of the season as the provisional No. 3 qualifier. While the eldest Force was leading the way in the nitro flopper category Brittany Force and the Monster Energy Top Fuel dragster narrowly missed their first provisional No. 1 of the season and had to settle for the No. 2 spot heading into Saturday.

DODGE CITY, Kan. – July 3, 2015 – After fighting forward in Friday night’s Boot Hill Showdown at Dodge City Raceway Park, Jason Sides dodged his way through traffic and battled Donny Schatz to score his first World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory since 2012.
“It’s been a long time,” said an emotional Sides in victory lane. “It’s been a long last couple of years. It’s just one of those things that we just keep plugging away. We’re out here having a good time about it but for the most part still trying to make a living and beat this 15 car over here.” Continue reading World of Outlaws– Jason Sides Dodges to Boot Hill Showdown Win

TEAM CHEVY DRIVER PRESS CONF. TRANSCRIPT
JULY 3, 2015
KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 COCA-COLA CHEVROLET SS met with media and discussed his year so far and desire to get his first Cup win and make it into the Chase, his approach to racing on superspeedways, his best moments thus far in the Cup Series, and more. Full Transcript:
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE THE COCA-COLA COLORS ON YOUR CAR THIS WEEKEND?
“It’s good. They are similar to our Target colors. It won’t be hard for my spotter to find me out there (laughs). Yeah, it’s cool to have Coke a part of the Target family this year. It’s pretty neat to be part of that. For this race, too, it’s neat to drive a Coke car out there and get some more recognition, and hopefully have a good finish. Daytona is my least statistical track, probably, with not really ever finishing a race here. But, I’ve learned more and more every time I go on a superspeedway, so I’m excited to get on the track later today and then hopefully have a good race on Sunday. It would be good to make it to the checkered flag in a Sprint Cup race here. I’m just looking forward to it.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Daytona–Kyle Larson

JOHN FORCE LOOKING FOR MORE FIREWORKS IN NORWALK
NORWALK, OH (June 29, 2015) — Last year John Force won the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Nationals for the first time and the celebration was as epic as the fireworks the Bader family fires off every Fourth of July weekend. The win technically wasn’t Force’s first at Summit Motorsports Park considering the legendary Funny Car driver has been winning match races at the Ohio area race track for over two decades but it was his first official NHRA Funny Car title.

Casey Currie Keeping Up the Heat in Utah
Casey Currie Keeping Up the Heat in Utah
CORONA, California (June 22, 2015) – Coming off of a big weekend in Lake Elsinore Casey Currie headed to Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah for Rounds 7 & 8 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS). The points race is tight in the largest class of short-course off road trucks, and Casey is right at the top. After the rounds at Utah, Casey has continued to put up strong number keeping him right in line for the championship.
Racing on a very technical and difficult track, Casey was able to keep up with the pace and turn in two top ten finishes. In Saturdays’ race, Currie was able to turn in a solid finish and keep the truck out of any accidents. On Sunday, Currie got tangled up early on in the race, but found a way to make several difficult passes around the tight turns and narrow straights of the track.
“Well, it wasn’t exactly the sort of weekend we were looking for, but ultimately we are still putting up strong points and are in the hunt for the championship. There is a lot of talent in this class, and to be in the top 5 in points half way through the season puts the Currie Racing team in a great spot to make a push for the championship,” said Casey.
Continuing to turn in consistent results has put Casey in a great position to contend for the championship in the second half of the 2015 season. With a truck that has stayed out of major wrecks and a team that can make the proper adjustments, Casey is ready to get on the podium and make his mark on the largest Pro class in short-course.
