WALK US THROUGH THE FINAL RESTART AND YOUR TAKE ON IT:
“I couldn’t believe he (Joey Logano) gave me the bottom. I was like ‘man this is a gift.’ I was going to win the race for sure, but that caution came out. I’m fine with the new rule. Everybody is going to debate that we were thinking before the race that they made a good change on the green-white-checkered to go to one and I still feel that way. Per the rules we run second. I can live with that. The No. 22 (Joey Logano) did a great job. He had a hell of a round winning all three races. If he wins the championship he can look back on this round here as the one that set him up. Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Talladega–Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Red Horse Racing at Talladega Superspeedway
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series teams headed south to Talladega Superspeedway for the 19th race of the 2015 season. In the first of two practice sessions on Friday, Timothy Peters was third fastest and Ben Kennedy was fifth on the board. In the second practice, Peters was 11th, and Kennedy was 13th fastest. On Saturday morning, teams completed two rounds of knockout, single-truck qualifying, with both drivers transferring to the final round. Peters earned his first pole position of the season, while Kennedy would start the 98-lap event in fifth. Peters led 23 laps and picked up his first win of the season and the ninth of his career. Kennedy led for six laps but was caught in a late-race wreck and finished 25th.

Timothy Peters Earns Ninth Career Victory at Talladega Superspeedway
Timothy Peters started from the pole at Talladega Superspeedway and led 23 of 98 laps of the fred’s 250 en route to his first victory of the season and ninth of his career. The No. 17 Red Horse Racing team unloaded a fast Toyota Tundra and Peters was third fastest in the first of two practice sessions on Friday. In the second practice, Peters only ran two laps and was 11th fastest overall. On Saturday morning, the Red Horse Racing driver earned the pole position in two rounds of knockout qualifying. It was his first of the season and seventh of his career. After leading the field to the green flag, Peters led for 13 laps until the first caution. Under the first yellow flag, crew chief Marcus Richmond brought the veteran driver to pit road for fuel only. Peters stayed in the top five for most of the race, only falling back as the field cycled through green-flag pit stops. The Danville, Virginia native would lead a total of five times for 23 laps. On lap 36, Peters visited pit road for two right-side tires and Sunoco fuel, then revisited pit road for fuel only with 17 laps remaining. Peters restarted the race in sixth, but quickly made his way to the front. As the race, originally scheduled for 94 laps, went into overtime with a green-white-checkered finish, Peters restarted in second place on the front row, and took the lead and never looked back. The victory was his ninth career win and his second at Talladega Superspeedway.

Timothy Peters Quotes:
“This is for her (Ashlee Richmond, sister of crew chief Marcus Richmond). We know you’re watching. Ashlee Richmond, we love you. Thank you for riding with us today and being who you are. This is just an awesome feeling. Thanks to all these guys – Red Horse Racing back at the shop, Triad horsepower, Toyota Tundra was awesome today. Oh my goodness – just Tom DeLoach (team owner) for believing in us and this time. We got on a roll starting at Chicago [Chicagoland Speedway] and, man, it’s just been up from there.”
“A good team right here for sure. This team right here went to work when the deal happened at Daytona (International Speedway) earlier this year and built chassis 012. This is the one we won with last year and got it even better. It showed how hard that they work because we were able to sit on the pole. Just Chris Lambert (spotter) gave me system overload all day long telling me what the outside line was doing, who was behind me, what the gap was in front of me and just was able to put us in position with our Toyota Tundra at the end to go for the win and the good Lord was with us all day long. Thank you to the good Lord for keeping everybody safe. Had Ashlee Richmond riding with us this weekend as she continues her battle with cancer and this was for her for sure.”

Ben Kennedy Caught in Late-Race “Big One” at Talladega Superspeedway
After running inside the top 10 for almost the entire afternoon at Talladega Superspeedway and leading for six laps, Ben Kennedy was involved in the “Big One” on lap 92, relegating the Local Motors team to a 25th-place finish in the fred’s 250. In his second visit to the 2.66-mile superspeedway, Kennedy posted the fifth and 13th-fastest times in the series’ two practice sessions on Friday. The No. 11 team returned to the famed Alabama race track the following morning and advanced to the final session in single-truck qualifying, and earned the fifth starting position. Only three tenths of a second separated Kennedy from his Red Horse Racing teammate, Timothy Peters, who earned the pole award. The Daytona Beach, Florida native took the green flag and jumped into the third position on the first lap. He remained inside the top five until coming to pit road during the Lap-35 caution. Crew chief Scott Zipadelli called for fresh right-side Goodyear tires, air pressure and wedge adjustments, and fuel, and the black and white Toyota Tundra restarted in seventh. Kennedy battled inside the top 10 through green-flag pit stops and two more caution periods. Racing side-by-side in the closing laps, Kennedy was clipped in the right rear and collected in the infamous “Big One.” He was able to drive the Local Motors machine to pit road for repairs, and during the red flag the No. 11 team worked on their plan. They returned him to competition and he took the checkered flag in the 25th position.

Ben Kennedy Quote:
“It is really disappointing to leave here [Talladega Superspeedway] with this finish after all of our hard work. We had a fast Local Motors Toyota Tundra and good track position all day, and we just got caught up in the mess at the end. Thank you to all of the guys. The No. 11 team did a great job all weekend, and on pit road, and the guys back at the shop built us a great truck. Congrats to Timothy (Peters) and the No. 17 team on the win. It’s good for all of us to get Red Horse Racing back in Victory Lane.”

“In the position we’re in with most people besides Joey (Logano), the approach is the same whether you’re trying to win it, get a top-five, top-10, top-15 or top-20. We’re here to race a for a win. I feel like we’ve put together three pretty good restrictor plate races this year but we’ve not always ended up with the results we were looking for.

Talladega Superspeedway has a mystique about it like no other track on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
It has seen many strange events over the years – from a string of surprise winners in the 1970s and 1980s to Bobby Isaac parking Bud Moore’s Ford mid-race after hearing voices telling him to do so, to an instance of sabotage to race cars.

Logano Goes Back-To-Back with Roush Yates Power
Joey Logano captures back-to-back wins in the Contender Round
Team Penske and Roush Yates have 19 NSCS wins over the past three years
The win marks Ford’s 30th all-time NASCAR Chase victory
KANSAS CITY, Kan., October 20, 2015 – Roush Yates Engines and Ford Performance powered Joey Logano to his second consecutive Chase win at Kansas Speedway, making him two for two in the Contender Round. The win is Logano’s fifth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory of the season and 13th win of his career.
“I couldn’t be more proud of what we’re doing right now,” said Logano, “I’ve got to thank Shell, Pennzoil, AAA, Coca-Cola, Roush Yates motors. This is a big motor racetrack. I was on the gas a lot and they brought the big steam. We’re such a fast racecar, such a great team. We’ve showed it two weeks in a row now, and this is a lot of fun.”
It was a hard fought battle during the Hollywood Casino 400 on Sunday. Logano started 14th, but had a strong run up to second in the early laps of the race. Logano maintained a spot near the front all afternoon, and took the lead with five laps remaining. He captured the win in a green-white-checkered finish and celebrated with his signature triple axel burn out.
“Last pit stop Todd made a great call and made some great changes,” said Logano. “Then it was that time to find that next level as a driver and find that next little piece to get a little bit more speed out of your car. I was able to race hard and get back to the lead and be able to win.”
“To win back-to-back races in the Contender Round with Joey and Team Penske is quite an accomplishment,” said Doug Yates, President & CEO of Roush Yates. “He had a strong car all day. This is a great achievement and we take great pride in providing the power under the hood.”
The accomplishments of Roush Yates Engines on the track are the result of relationships with great partners including FORD Performance, Mahle Clevite, Cometic Gasket, Del West, Rottler Manufacturing, Mitee-Bite, Universal Technical Institute, Mitsubishi Materials U.S.A., and Safety Kleen. We rely on their products in our engines each week as they play a vital role in our success.
The same expertise and passion that goes into these winning race engines goes into providing our customers with premium performance products. Everyone on the Roush Yates team is dedicated to delivering power, performance and reliability to all of our customers.

The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series takes on Port Royal Speedway on Saturday and returns to Weedsport Speedway on Sunday
CONCORD, N.C. – Oct. 20, 2015 – The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series has just four features to go before the end of the 2015 season. The series returns to action this weekend with stops at Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway on Saturday and Weedsport (N.Y.) Speedway on Sunday.
Though the championship race is wrapped up, as the final countdown to the end of the season begins, there are plenty of battles to keep an eye on.
The Outlaws battle the Posse one last time
With the series’ final trip to Central Pennsylvania this weekend, the appearance at Port Royal Speedway marks the final battle between the Outlaws and the Pennsylvania Posse in 2015. Through five completed features (one at Lincoln Speedway and four at Williams Grove Speedway) the Posse has an overwhelming four to one lead. This includes the biggest events of the year, including the Morgan Cup and the National Open.
The ‘Kunkletown Kid’ Ryan Smith picked up his first ever World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory after holding off Donny Schatz in last season’s event at Port Royal. Does the Posse take another or do the Outlaws get one more on the board before 2015 comes to an end?
How does the points battle shake out in the middle of the pack?
Though the battle for first and second is no more, there is a fierce battle underway in the middle of the championship and team standings. On the driver side, just 59 points separate third from sixth. Brad Sweet, the reigning Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year presented by ButlerBuilt recipient, currently sits in third. Close on his heels are Joey Saldana in fourth, Kerry Madsen in fifth and Daryn Pittman in sixth. Just one point separates Saldana and Madsen for the fourth position.
The team standings feature a similarly tight battle from third to sixth. Just 62 points separate the third place No. 9 Kasey Kahne Racing with Mike Curb team from the sixth place No. 29 Keneric Racing team. Third and fourth is a team battle between the No. 9 and No. 49 with 25 points separating them while just one point separates the No. 71m Motter Motorsports team from the Keneric Racing team for fifth.
David Gravel vs. Jason Sides
Another close points battle is the one between David Gravel and Jason Sides, who enter the final stretch of the season separated by just 36 points. With one win and two more top-five finishes, the edge goes to Sides who is currently eighth in the standings.
Can Donny Schatz win one more?
Donny Schatz, the 2015 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, has racked up 31 trips to victory lane this season. That total is good enough to tie him with Steve Kinser for third on the all-time single season wins list. Schatz was the first driver since Kinser in 1992 to score 30 or more wins in a single season. With one more victory, Schatz will take the spot in the history books outright from Kinser – Kinser still owns the record for the most wins in a single season and second most wins in a single season.
Richard Childress Racing Assigns Gil Martin as XFINITY Series Competition Director
WELCOME, N.C. (October 20, 2015) – Richard Childress Racing has assigned industry veteran and longtime RCR crew chief Gil Martin as its Competition Director for the NASCAR XFINITY Series, effective immediately.
“Gil has been in this role before with RCR and we are confident he will do as solid a job as he did before,” said Dr. Eric Warren, Director of Competition for RCR. “Gil has a tradition of success with this team and his leadership role with our XFINITY Series program will make our four teams even stronger.”
Martin, formerly crew chief of the No. 3 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team and Director of Research & Development, has been with RCR since 2000. He is among a select group of crew chiefs that have won races in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup, XFINITY and Camping World Truck Series. Martin guided the No. 2 XFINITY Series team with driver Clint Bowyer to the 2005 XFINITY Series driver championship.
“This is an exciting time for our XFINITY Series teams and I’m looking forward to building on our success,” Martin said. “Richard (Childress) has invested significant resources into our XFINITY Series program and we’ve brought in a lot of talented individuals. I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead this group and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
Martin, 55, is a native of Nashville, Tenn., and currently resides in Concord, N.C. He will report to Warren.
Scelzi Stymied by Bad Luck Throughout Trophy Cup
Inside Line Promotions – TULARE, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2015) – Misfortune was the theme for Dominic Scelzi throughout last weekend’s 22nd annual Trophy Cup.
Scelzi had kicked off the marquee event at Thunderbowl Raceway on Thursday by qualifying second quickest in his session, which only had approximately a dozen remaining qualifiers before rain wiped out the remainder of the night.
While the program was pushed to Friday afternoon, all drivers in the group were forced to requalify.
“I think that was pretty much the end of our Trophy Cup,” he said. “They were rushing us through and we were the first car out for qualifying. The track was still greasy and not run in. It really hindered us. With the way they ran qualifying through like that we were unlucky.”
Scelzi qualified 27th quickest on the unfavorable track. That started him on the pole of a heat race.
“In the heat the track completely changed from greasy and rough to slick,” he said. “You had to be around the top. There was nothing on the bottom. The outside guy got me on the start. I closed in on him several times, but there wasn’t a way I could get around him.”
Scelzi placed second in the heat race, which relegated him to the 23rd starting position in the B Main.
“We had a really good car in the B Main,” he said. “We were extremely fast. I think we were one of the fastest cars all weekend. We just didn’t have one thing go our way. We passed more than anyone in the B Main and could run the top and the bottom. We just ran out of laps.”
Scelzi maneuvered to a 12th-place result in the consolation race.
He then kicked off Friday’s second round by qualifying 14th quickest. That lined him up on the outside of the second row for a heat race.
“We had a really good race car and got up to second right away,” he said. “I moved up to the top and got into a hole on the entry of turn one. That got me upside down.”
Scelzi was unable to finish the heat race after his flip. That sent him to the B Main, where he was the victim to a crash in front of him.
“We were going really well on the bottom in the first lap or two,” he said. “There was a crash and the entire track was blocked off. I hit the guy in front of me and it knocked the front end out. We elected to call it a weekend at that point.”
Scelzi will return to action this Saturday at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford, Calif., for the 30th annual Cotton Classic with the King of the West 410 Sprint Car Series.
PERMATEX/FOLLOW A DREAM RUNS ALL-TIME BEST 5.51 AT DALLAS
Marstons Mills, MA-October 21, 2015-Jay Blake’s Permatex/Follow A Dream team made its quickest run ever in its first appearance at the NHRA Fall Nationals at Dallas. Driver Todd Veney ran a 5.51 at 265 mph in the opening round of eliminations but lost to a 5.46, one of the quickest runs in Top Alcohol Funny Car history, by Sweden’s Jonnie Lindberg.
“I never saw him,” said Veney, who fell by just 18-thousandths of a second. “It’s pretty tough to lose on a run that good, but that’s the way it’s been going for us lately. The same thing happened at Indy and Maple Grove.” The 5.51 was by far the quickest losing run of the round and quicker than many winning runs. In quarterfinal losses at Indy and Maple Grove, the team was faster than every run except the one in the opposite lane.
“Nobody ever said this was easy,” said Blake, whose team now ranks sixth in the NHRA national standings, four points out of fifth place and 13 points out of fourth. “The top nine cars in the country were here, and it showed – this was the fastest field in Alcohol Funny Car history.” The Texas Motorplex’s all-concrete quarter-mile delivered a record bump of 5.62.
