Daryn Pittman Holds off Paul McMahan to Score Victory at Antioch
This was the second World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series win of the year for Pittman
ANTIOCH, Calif. – March 29, 2015 – Through Sunday night’s 30 lap World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series feature at Antioch Speedway, Paul McMahan tried everything he could think of to get around leader Daryn Pittman. McMahan tried the high line and the low line; he got side by side with Pittman off of turn four and even briefly worked his way past Pittman. In the end though, Pittman held off McMahan to score his second series victory of the season. Continue reading World of Outlaws–Daryn Pittman Holds off Paul McMahan to Score Victory at Antioch →

JUAN PABLO MONTOYA, NO. 2 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET, RACE WINNER: YOU SAID ONE YEAR AGO YOU HAD TO BE SO PATIENT, BUT NOT TODAY. TAKE US THROUGH YOUR RUN: “Today was a good day to be honest with you. The car was really good on black tires and that was the key. The tires were not falling off and right there at the end I was just running slow to look after them. When I needed to push I could push. Everybody with Verizon and Team Penske did an amazing job – Chevy as well. This aero kit is amazing to drive.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–St. Petersburg Post Race →

MARTIN TRUEX, JR., NO. 78 FURNITURE ROW/VISSER PRECISION CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 6TH
YOU HAD ONE HECK OF A DAY:
“To say the least. That is what I was just telling him (one of his crew members) I can’t believe after losing the power steering the first run we finished sixth. It was not fun to drive for a little while there, but they did a great job getting fluid back in it and fixing the leak and everything. Just fought all day, just like we always do, fought, fought, fought.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Martinsville–Post Race →

AUSTIN DILLON, NO. 3 CHEERIOS CHEVROLET SS – Sidelined with engine issues on lap 330
WHAT PUT YOU IN THE GARAGE?
“Yeah, it is a motor issue. I think the same thing as the No. 47 (AJ Allmendinger). We just have to do a better job of going through our procedures at ECR (Earnhardt Childress Racing) right now. We have some power, but we are not finishing races.”

DID YOU HAVE ANY INDICATION SOMETHING WAS GOING BAD?
“I just started getting wicked loose and that was from the oil dropping on the right rear tire, and just had no grip because the oil was everywhere. I hate it because we were going to have a good day. We were up to 13th. We battled back; we had one bad set of tires. Got our lap back and battled back up through there and then there she went.”

AJ ALLMENDINGER, NO. 47 BUSH’S BEANS CHEVROLET SS – Sidelined by engine issues on lap 177
WHAT PUT YOU GUYS IN THE GARAGE?
“Motor issues of some sort, I’m not sure what the exact problem is with the motor. We had a fast Bush’s Beans Chevy just trying to be patient. There were a lot of guys already starting to wreck out there, so I was just trying to keep the car clean for the first 400 laps. We needed to work on it a little bit to be up there with the top three or four guys, but I felt like the car was pretty strong. I noticed some smoke start rolling in the car and I could see it start out of the back of the car. I think when that was happening there had to be stuff starting to get on the tires and stuff. I just started losing speed and then by that point it was smoking so bad they black flagged me, which they probably should have. Nobody could see behind me. We are here (in the garage) now.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Martinsville–AJ Allmendinger →

YOU ARE OFF TO VERY GOOD START, NINTH IN POINTS RIGHT NOW. JUST TALK ABOUT YOUR GOOD START AND WHAT YOUR OUTLOOK IS FOR THIS WEEKEND HERE AT MARTINSVILLE:
“Sitting ninth in points it is a good spot, we are looking for more. RCR (Richard Childress Racing) cars overall have been running really fast. Our affiliate teams with the No. 47, No. 78 and No. 13 are also fast, so it’s very rewarding for the shop guys, engine guys to see. We had a good run last weekend. Two top five’s with the RCR cars in Fontana. It was a weekend where we had a lot of speed. I think I hear Aric (Almirola) saying that he didn’t have speed, but his car drove good. Our car had speed, but it didn’t drive good. We made a lot of changes Saturday night and got the car so it didn’t fall off as much on Sunday. Daytona, Atlanta, Vegas, Phoenix, we had solid races. We didn’t have great races by any stretch. Had a really good run going at Daytona the last lap and got caught up in a wreck. I think we finished like 12th, 13th and 14th or something in the next three races consistency and starting to get some fast cars. Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Martinsville–Paul Menard →

COMING BACK HERE TWO MORE TIMES HERE AND IN OCTOBER, TALK ABOUT MARTINSVILLE AND THE SUCCESS YOU’VE HAD AND KNOWING YOU HAVE TWO MORE CHANCES AT IT.
“I’m excited about those opportunities. This has been a fantastic racetrack for me throughout my career. Martinsville is probably the reason when we made the announcement in January why we left that little bit of window and door open. This is probably the first track that comes to mind for me that if I ran another race – not that I have plans to – that I’d do it at Martinsville… Truck, Cup, maybe Late Model. I just love this track. The least amount of things change at Martinsville that changes at any other track we go to. Aerodynamics don’t make as big of a difference. Tires don’t change much here. The speeds may gradually change here. When you look at every other track on the circuit and especially the bigger tracks when aerodynamics start to make a huge difference, that changes how you drive the car, how you set up the car, and the knowledge you have to have of all the data and technology that’s going on with the cars. This one, you don’t have to worry that near as much. This week, of course, with the lack of power it’s going to change things a good bit and how we’re going to drive this track. But those are the reasons why I love this track so much and I always loved coming back here. I’m looking forward to these final two here this season.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Martinsville–Jeff Gordon →
