Chevy SS Race Cars Post 5 of Top 10 Overall

DARLINGTON, S.C. (September 4, 2016) – Kevin Harvick earned a second-place finish in this year’s annual Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, the penultimate race until the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series field is decided. Harvick led the 367-lap Southern 500 five different times for a race-high 215 laps in route to his fourth second-place finish of the season. A late-race pit stop mired Harvick and his No. 4 Busch Beer Chevrolet SS deep in the top 10, but the former NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion rallied to a runner-up finish.

KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 BUSCH BEER CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 2ND
ON HIS NIGHT:
“Our team in the garage did a great job. They brought the fastest race car to the track once again and we just didn’t do a good job on pit road and gave it away.”

HOW MUCH DID THE RACE CHANGE AND HOW DID YOUR CAR REACT THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT?
“We started 12th and eighth and sixth and we had a great race car all night just got to thank everybody in the shop and in the garage for putting the race cars under us. We can’t just continuously shoot ourselves in the foot every few pit stops.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Darlington–Post Race →

SCOTT DIXON, NO. 9 TARGET CHIP GANASSI RACING CHEVROLET, RACE WINNER: YOU HAD A LOT TO OVERCOME TODAY. YOU HAD TO SAVE FUEL, YOU WERE FAST, YOU HAD A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. THIS MUST BE SO GRATIFYING
“Yeah, I think this was actually a Chevy Volt like we were running on electric, or something. We got amazing fuel mileage. I cannot thank all the fans here in The Glen area and everybody else for coming out here today; especially on such short notice. The support from Verizon, they’ve been fantastic with this series; and the support they’ve shown us has been phenomenal. A huge thank you to them, as well. But, look at this Team Target, man this is so cool, so cool.”

LUCK WENT YOUR WAY. YOU PITTED, AND RIGHT AFTER YOU PITTED A CAR SPUN. NOT ONLY DID YOU MISS IT, BUT THAT WAS THE CAUTION YOU NEEDED TO STAY OUT FRONT.
“It was. They roll either way. Sometimes you’re going to get them, and sometimes you’re not. But today, after it bit us pretty good in Toronto, it was a nice way to turn around. Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Watkins Glen–Post Race →

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Sept. 4, 2016) – Courtney Force gingerly lifted the Traxxas Nitro Shootout trophy above her head. The $100,000 winner’s check, which she waved to the cheering crowd, was a feather by comparison, but equally as weighty.

“That thing is heavy, but it’s awesome and I can’t wait to take it back to the team,” she said. Continue reading Chevy Racing–NHRA–US Nationals →

TEAM CHEVY DRIVER PRESS CONF. TRANSCRIPT

DALE EARNHARDT, JR, DRIVER OF THE NO. 88 CHEVROLET SS, RICK HENDRICK, TEAM OWNER, HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS, AND DR. MICKY COLLINS, MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH MEDICAL CENTER SPORTS MEDICINE CONCUSSION PROGRAM, met with members of the media at Darlington Raceway to discuss Dale’s health, the decision to keep him out of the race car for the remainder of the season and many other topics. Full Transcript:

CAN YOU PROVIDE US AN UPDATE ON HOW YOU ARE FEELING AND HOW YOUR RECOVERY IS GOING?

DALE EARNHARDT, JR.: “I feel like the recovery is going really good. I’m starting to see improvements as we are going. It seems like this has lasted a really long time, but when you look at it on paper it has been a very short period and the gains that I’ve felt in that short period give me a lot of confidence that this is going in the right direction. And all the stuff and hard work we are doing is paying off. It certainly fun to be here at the race track and to be able to see the team and be in this atmosphere that you get so used to being in week-in and week-out. I’m happy to be here today and it certainly is a place where you get pretty good exposure and it drives your symptoms a little bit so I’m getting some good exercise as we speak. It has been a real interesting experience and I’ve learned a ton. I have a lot of respect for Micky (Collins) and his group and the direction that they are giving me is really working. I struggled with my eyes for a while and I’m starting to see improvements there which I was thrilled to wake up one day and feel a difference and start to see improvement there. Riding in a car or walking to gain stability that I’ve talked about before is starting to improve, which was a major relief for me because that was probably the most difficult thing to deal with throughout the day because it was there 24 hours a day. My balance is miles better than it was when I first went to see Micky. We do a lot of exercises every single day. Amy (Reimann, Fiancé) has been there every step of the way pushing me to stay focused and to realize the progress we have made and to keep working hard. It’s been a good experience and I’m looking forward to getting well and definitely on the right track.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Darlington–Dale Earnhardt Jr. →
