Richard Childress Racing–Menards 250

Paul Menard Battles for the Win in the Menards 250 Presented by Valvoline at Michigan International Speedway

“We were so close. We had a fast Richmond/Menards Chevrolet today. The handling was just a little bit off which made the car too loose in the opening laps. Danny (Stockman, crew chief) and the guys made good changes on pit road. We adjusted a little too far so had to dial it back after the car got too tight. We were right there all day and overall I was happy with our Chevy. It’s always fun to race with this team and I’m looking forward to my next race with them in Indy.” Continue reading Richard Childress Racing–Menards 250 →

Sharman Racing at Baja

On June 4th the ARP sponsored class one race team of Ryan and Paul Sharman captured a seventh place finish in the Baja 500 starting in Ensenada Mexico. Sharman racing, a father and son team out of Arizona, survived record temperatures, an overheating engine and multiple flats in the Baja desert to hold off 11 out of 18 other cars. During pre-running the course the week before the temperatures increased every day until peaking on race day at 120° in the inner deserts of the peninsula. The Sharmans adapted their race strategy to deal with the intense heat which included slowing the pace across the lake beds and extra pitstops with lots of ice water in the cockpit. Early on they moved from 13th to 7th place and held on to finish back in Ensenada and just under 13 hours.IMG_7780
