Mooresville, N.C., October 13, 2015 – Jason Line started the 2015 season of NHRA’s Mello Yello Drag Racing Series with a very strong pulse beating through his Summit Racing Chevrolet Camaro, and he would like to finish on the same strong note.

PERMATEX/FOLLOW A DREAM TEAM HEADS TO DALLAS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

Marstons Mills, MA-October 14, 2015-For the first time in team history, Jay Blake’s Permatex/Follow A Dream will run the prestigious NHRA Fall Nationals at Dallas.

“We’ve always run the Houston race, but this year it fell on the same weekend as the regional at Richmond and we had to miss it,” said Blake, whose first career national event victory came at Houston in 2005. “It’ll be good to get back to Texas and great to race all the top cars from the West Coast.”

The Follow A Dream team will be up against an all-star lineup in Dallas: every driver in the Top 10 except 10th-place Dan Pomponio will be there. “Our schedule is usually over by this time of year, so this is a real thrill,” said driver Todd Veney, currently fourth in the national standings. “I’ve only ever raced at Dallas once – in 2000, in my second NHRA race ever. The Texas Motorplex was the first ‘super track,’ and I’ve wanted to race there ever since it was built in 1986.”

Qualifying sessions are scheduled for 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Friday, with a last-ditch session set for Saturday morning at 11 a.m. The first round will be that afternoon, and eliminations conclude on Sunday. The event will be televised on ESPN2 on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 7 a.m. on ESPN2.

October 11, 2015

Ryan Blaney and the No. 21 PPG Ford Fusion team had a strong, solid run in Sunday’s rain-delayed Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Blaney started 16th and ran in the top 15 for the majority of the race – and in the top 10 at times – before finishing 14th.

“We didn’t start off too bad, and we progressively made it better throughout the day, which I was happy with,” Blaney said, adding that he had one sub-par green-flag run late in the race that kept him from making a bid for a top-10 finish.

“We could hang with him (Joey Logano), but I would just lose him every once in a while in traffic. It was just extremely hard to pass. But all in all, we weren’t very good all weekend and the guys just did a great job on pit road and made our car better throughout the day and were able to make our Jimmy John’s/Budweiser Chevrolet better as we went on.

October 10, 2015

The first running of the race now known as the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, on Oct. 16, 1960, wound up being a key victory for one of NASCAR’s cornerstone race teams.

The Wood Brothers team, at that time, was a part-time competitor focusing on the short tracks. At the request of fellow Virginian and long-time friend Curtis Turner, the Woods took their 1960 Starliner to Charlotte, which at the time was owned by Turner and current track owner Bruton Smith.
