<h3>Rain-Shortened Victory at Phoenix</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzZ3dq1a7bERhEICb1US2FR8zrMLaUJYugobn-PnVrQpbhFdDc5QpVi3g_NowD5ZgduubeYsx5lkpdtJSliZRor5O7cKIh0gLR-SP-3lg7iv0rV_tCSQS2iELp-pYfv9171bt5UIXedpmtrWMw9Bhp0kd75qUsQ3Yu6j9amGh5BpGiWh2PQW8zBQDV5fM/s960/sawalich-18.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzZ3dq1a7bERhEICb1US2FR8zrMLaUJYugobn-PnVrQpbhFdDc5QpVi3g_NowD5ZgduubeYsx5lkpdtJSliZRor5O7cKIh0gLR-SP-3lg7iv0rV_tCSQS2iELp-pYfv9171bt5UIXedpmtrWMw9Bhp0kd75qUsQ3Yu6j9amGh5BpGiWh2PQW8zBQDV5fM/s400/sawalich-18.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> A late-race spin from the lead at <a href="https://twitter.com/phoenixraceway" target="_blank">Phoenix Raceway</a> last March prevented <a href="https://twitter.com/WilliamSawalich" target="_blank">William Sawalich</a> from winning in his <a href="https://twitter.com/ARCA_Racing" target="_blank">ARCA Menards Series</a> debut. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> The reigning ARCA Menards East Series champion earned redemption in Friday’s General Tire 150 by putting together a typically efficient run from the pole. A thunderstorm descending upon one-mile tri-oval with less than 40 laps remaining forced ARCA officials to call the race early, handing Sawalich the win. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Sawalich felt Phoenix owed him a victory after he came so close to prevailing in his first race with <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeGibbsRacing" target="_blank">Joe Gibbs Racing</a> one year ago. While he would have preferred to settle the outcome on track, Sawalich was more than grateful to celebrate with his team in Victory Lane regardless of the circumstances. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “Not the way I wanted to win a race, but I knew we had the best car out there,” Sawalich said. “We kind of fell back during that first stint, but the guys made a really good adjustment, so I’m super proud of them doing that. We ran a good race and I knew we had a chance to win it.”</div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> With his triumph on Friday evening, Sawalich is now two for three in ARCA appearances at Phoenix. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Sawalich was untouchable when the ARCA Menards Series West wrapped up its 2023 season around the one-mile oval last November. Leading 93 of 100 possible laps, Sawalich’s victory wrapped up a nearly perfect rookie ARCA campaign that saw him visit Victory Lane seven times across the three divisions. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Just like the West Series finale last year, Sawalich’s closest competition came in the form of a Venturini Motorsports car. This time it was Gio Ruggiero, who was making his ARCA Menards Series national debut. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Ruggiero managed to chase down Sawalich during the longest green flag run of the evening before trading blows with him on several successive restarts. Sawalich gained the upper hand after the halfway break, with Ruggiero being forced to settle for second when rain brought the General Tire 150 to a premature end. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Facing Sawalich will be a common theme for Ruggiero throughout his rookie ARCA campaign. His busy schedule includes running all eight events in the East Series, where he will look to dethrone Sawalich as the champion. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Following Ruggiero in third was NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series veteran Grant Enfinger, who was making his first West Series appearance as part of Friday’s combination event. Connor Mosack and defending West Series champion Sean Hingorani completed the top-five. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://twitter.com/phoenixraceway" target="_blank">Phoenix Raceway</a> announced that <a href="https://twitter.com/Call811">Call811.com</a>, the national call-before-you-dig online resource, will be the entitlement partner for the <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar_xfinity" target="_blank">NASCAR Xfinity Series</a> Race on Saturday, March 9, at 2:30 p.m. MST. The race will officially be named the Call811.com Every Dig. Every Time. 200. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“It’s a true privilege to have Call811.com sponsor our NASCAR Xfinity Series race this spring,” said Phoenix Raceway President Latasha Causey. “Safety should be everyone’s main priority when beginning their dig, and we’re happy to share this important sentiment to our Valley residents with the Call811.com Every Dig. Every Time 200.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Call811.com is an easy online resource for finding out how to contact each state’s 811 center, and about the specific state’s digging law. Hitting a buried utility line while digging can cause serious injuries or death, costly repairs, civil penalties and fines, or disruption of vital utility services local communities rely on every day. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Safety is in the hands of all homeowners/occupants, farmers, or contractors when beginning any digging project— big or small—deep or shallow. A few days before starting, using the free 811 process is required to request the approximate location of buried utilities to be marked with paint or flags. Then, wait the required timeframe to ensure all affected utilities have responded before ever putting a shovel in the ground. Once utility locations are identified, it is always necessary to dig with care according to each state’s requirements. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“We are thrilled to partner with Phoenix Raceway in 2024 to sponsor the Call811.com Every Dig. Every Time. 200 at this critical time of year when dig season traditionally begins, to expand awareness of our important safety message to the sport’s large and dedicated fan base”, said Sandra Holmes, Executive Director of Arizona 811. “In 2022, more than 25% of utility damages nationwide occurred because the 811 process was not used, even though the digger involved in most of those damages had used the process in the past. Everyone has the power to reduce the risk of damages by using the 811 process themselves or requiring contractors they hire to use it for EVERY DIG. EVERY TIME.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Call811.com Every Dig. Every Time. 200 will be the second race of a fun-filled tripleheader weekend at Phoenix Raceway, March 8-10. The action starts with the ARCA Menards Series’ General Tire 150 on Friday, March 8, and ends with the Shiner’s Children’s 500 on Sunday, March 10, at 2:30 p.m. MST. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<h4>Kyle Larson holds off Tyler Reddick for the #Win</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZwqgfOuuGib0Vt_LRCPBbhhs3DT6telb-HhEox2ymO1S3scglsqp8uRjjmk9ZfgD6UsBTulYHMDWVlAzD0rWviiGL2xaZ-MBcoADueUv2QIkE23mVkt-kfEViTIv4rASb_4a-kx3eqK9IiSK-NQT_ayGVuz5MLe-EBK_QMg5z5wsX3JlyAuxSoHFljdI/s780/Kyle-Kids.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Kyle Larson holds off Tyler Reddick for the #Win" border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="780" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZwqgfOuuGib0Vt_LRCPBbhhs3DT6telb-HhEox2ymO1S3scglsqp8uRjjmk9ZfgD6UsBTulYHMDWVlAzD0rWviiGL2xaZ-MBcoADueUv2QIkE23mVkt-kfEViTIv4rASb_4a-kx3eqK9IiSK-NQT_ayGVuz5MLe-EBK_QMg5z5wsX3JlyAuxSoHFljdI/w400-h266/Kyle-Kids.jpg" title="Kyle Larson holds off Tyler Reddick for the #Win" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://twitter.com/KyleLarsonRacin" target="_blank">Kyle Larson</a> had to use all his consummate skills behind the wheel to hold off Tyler Reddick after a restart with 27 laps left. Larson had short-run speed, enough to build significant advantages early in a run. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But Reddick began closing the gap, so much so that with two laps left, Reddick was a scant 0.143 seconds behind Larson at the stripe, roughly one car length. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Larson, however, was adept at putting his No. 5 <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamHendrick" target="_blank">Hendrick Motorsports</a> Chevrolet in a position to block the progress of Reddick’s No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota, and when the race ended two laps later, Larson had increased the margin to 0.441 seconds. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “I knew Tyler was going to be the guy to beat from the first stage,” said Larson, who won for the first time this season and the 24th time in his career. “He was really fast there. I was hoping those guys were going to get racing a little bit longer behind me because I felt like it was going to time out where he was running really hard and getting the tow to catch me at the end. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “Thankfully, (I) was able to air block him a couple laps and get him tight. I thought him and (23XI teammate) Bubba (Wallace) were going to get working together again to build a run, so I was happy that didn’t happen. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“But all in all, such a great job by this Hendrick Cars Chevy team and just their execution, pit road, restarts — all that was great. Cool to get a win here at Vegas again. Back-to-back, swept all the stages again. Can’t ask for much more.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href=" https://twitter.com/JoeGibbsRacing" target="_blank">Joe Gibbs Racing</a> teammates (Chandler Smith and <a href="https://twitter.com/JHNemechek" target="_blank">John Hunter Nemechek</a>) spent most of Saturday afternoon racing each other for the top spot in The LiUNA!, a 300-mile <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar_xfinity" target="_blank">NASCAR Xfinity Series</a> race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was Nemechek who proved superior in the long run.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After Smith won the first two stages of the race — the second with a deft last-lap pass of Nemechek’s No. 20 Toyota — Nemechek asserted his dominance. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By the time Nemechek crossed the finish line at the end of Lap 200, he held a 4.360-second lead over pole winner Cole Custer, who had charged into second place after a late cycle of green-flag pit stops. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“Hats off to all the guys on this 20 team for Joe Gibbs Racing, said Nemechek, who led a race-high 99 laps in securing his first victory of the season, his first at Las Vegas and the 10th of his career. </div></blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“Man, it’s awesome to come out here and win in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with a limited number of starts.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://twitter.com/rajahcaruth_ " target="_blank">Rajah Caruth</a> celebrated a historic night by becoming the third Black driver to win a NASCAR national series race, etching his name alongside Hall of Fame trailblazer Wendell Scott and current-day Cup Series star Bubba Wallace.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The 21-year-old driver punctuated the moment with a professional-grade smoky burnout that made him look like a seasoned veteran, far removed from his earlier Late Model triumphs at Hickory and Tri-County in the North Carolina foothills and light-years away from his iRacing roots. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “I’m pretty speechless. It’s been a tough journey so far,” said Rajah Caruth, now in his second full season of Truck Series competition. His first truck win arrived in his 30th start. “A lot of people have helped me get to this point. Thank you to every single one of y’all. Definitely ups and downs, but this journey has been fruitful at times and testing at times. … This winter was a lot of uncertainty about where I’d be driving, not having a bunch of funding behind me at the time. I just stayed true to my faith and my family. Fortunately, a lot of people put a lot of stuff together for me to be in this spot.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It was a race that will soon have its own page in the Nemechek family scrapbook, as <a href="https://twitter.com/JHNemechek" target="_blank">John Hunter Nemechek</a> joined his father, Joe, as <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar_xfinity" target="_blank">NASCAR Xfinity Series</a> winners Saturday at <a href="https://twitter.com/LVMotorSpeedway" target="_blank">Las Vegas Motor Speedway</a>. It was the younger Nemechek’s 10th win in the series. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nemechek also won the 2021 edition of the NASCAR Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and etched his name next to the elder Nemechek, who claimed the 2003 NASCAR Xfinity Series shootout in Las Vegas. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “I love winning. I love winning races,” said Nemechek. “But to be able to win 10 Xfinity races is a pretty big accomplishment.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nemechek started 12th in the No. 20 Safeway/Albertsons Toyota and found his way to the front of the pack quickly to lead just shy of 100 laps on the day. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pole winner Cole Custer was second well over four seconds behind Nemechek, Chandler Smith took third and Austin Hill’s unbeaten streak to start the year was halted with a fourth-place showing. Las Vegan Riley Herbst tried to make it back-to-back wins at his home track and challenged for the lead late but eventually took fifth. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Smith and Nemechek swept all stages as the tandem combined to lead for 173 of 200 laps. It was Smith’s third consecutive top-five finish to open the season to move up to second in the point standings. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When asked what he will remember most about this victory, Nemechek responded, “It’s Vegas. What is there not to remember about Vegas?” </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">He added, “I’ve always run really well here. Don’t really know what, but I guess it always fits my racing style.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Facing 32 mph sustains wins with gusts up to 65 mph, Custer led the field from outside on the opening lap and was joined three-wide by Smith and AJ Allmendinger off Turn 1. That set the tone for an aggressive race, as Smith and Allmendinger joined Nemechek to go three-wide again on Lap 14. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Smith, who qualified in the No. 2 spot, won the opening stage and held the lead until Lap 49, when he fell to seventh after jack issues during his pit stop. He went on to capture Stage 2 and paced the field for 74 laps on the day. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nemechek went to the front on Lap 55 but was caught by Smith on Lap 89. The duo traded leads a half dozen times over the next 20 laps. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After Josh Williams pushed his ride to the limit and pitted on Lap 190, Nemechek regained the lead for good and coasted to the win. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://twitter.com/rajahcaruth_" target="_blank">Rajah Caruth</a> made history by becoming only the third Black driver to win a national series race when he crossed the finish line first in the Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 presented by Westgate Resorts <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar_trucks" target="_blank">NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series</a> race, joining the likes of hall of famer Wendell Scott and Bubba Wallace in the 20th year of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity Program. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“It’s surreal ... glad to get the win for Team Chevy,” Caruth told FS1 after the race. “I can’t thank my family enough. So many people have helped me get to this point. I can’t believe it. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Under the Friday night lights and with his parents watching from the stands at <a href="https://twitter.com/LVMotorSpeedway" target="_blank">Las Vegas Motor Speedway</a>, the 21-year-old Caruth, who also claimed his first career pole earlier in the day, led 38 laps for his first career win in 30 starts. Tyler Ankrum, Corey Heim, Taylor Gray and Christopher Bell rounded out the top 5. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“I’m glad I made the most of it tonight and get locked into the playoffs,” Caruth added. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Caruth, Kyle Busch, Nick Sanchez and Ty Majeski each sat in the top 10 when pitting on Lap 102. Caruth and his No. 71 Spire Motorsports team nailed the final pit stop and he went on to take the lead for good 12 laps later. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Majeski led for 40 laps and won the first two stages, but a pit-road speeding penalty late in the race cost the No. 98 Ford valuable track position. Majeski ended up finishing 10th. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Caruth only led two laps in his career prior to the win, which came three days after HendrickCars.com extended its partnership with the No. 71 Chevrolet driver from Washington, D.C. The iRacing aficionado turned heads through the first two weeks of the season with a third-place showing at Daytona International Speedway and an eight-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6fbKFOMXG3w1zvTfB5nyxOoEaIaIBPP233_eQ3hHpSYCrAl_V2rUH9fHCRlQI1xTsuF7mFjb_I65nF8TmKadzKcPqrdUhzl9qSNZGVOZH3qNLR69_oOLA8ZcMx_bCnHJjnJ0FVrG11x_Tgr2_doVphQLVfUeaPQlE6E1icVi-U6i4iVL5VoU72iQzRBw/s1200/Caruth-Wins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Rajah Caruth Parlays First Career Pole into First Career Win - #NASCAR Trucks" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6fbKFOMXG3w1zvTfB5nyxOoEaIaIBPP233_eQ3hHpSYCrAl_V2rUH9fHCRlQI1xTsuF7mFjb_I65nF8TmKadzKcPqrdUhzl9qSNZGVOZH3qNLR69_oOLA8ZcMx_bCnHJjnJ0FVrG11x_Tgr2_doVphQLVfUeaPQlE6E1icVi-U6i4iVL5VoU72iQzRBw/w400-h266/Caruth-Wins.jpg" title="Rajah Caruth Parlays First Career Pole into First Career Win - #NASCAR Trucks" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

<h3>Looking to Hit the Jackpot at Las Vegas</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG1FS7PE8czTrQ25w5daq_LJiN7XVKFOe6w51orTeQvB1bjTIP-ZhFtoftFj1ZfLT92Gz8nHabhQq7Jx3oJsYwUZ43BPfVHmUIG33IYQJRpjNIWja8uPBT3I3G8oQcle3PLgF80NnUdOG6fAou6rY2FB0rXvJ3ySgPYvZm2qkmMqUzp6NTD9jOHU1_Up8/s1000/riley-wins.webp" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Riley Herbst Win in Las Vegas - October 2023 #NASCAR Xfinity Race" border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="1000" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG1FS7PE8czTrQ25w5daq_LJiN7XVKFOe6w51orTeQvB1bjTIP-ZhFtoftFj1ZfLT92Gz8nHabhQq7Jx3oJsYwUZ43BPfVHmUIG33IYQJRpjNIWja8uPBT3I3G8oQcle3PLgF80NnUdOG6fAou6rY2FB0rXvJ3ySgPYvZm2qkmMqUzp6NTD9jOHU1_Up8/w400-h225/riley-wins.webp" title="Riley Herbst Win in Las Vegas - October 2023 #NASCAR Xfinity Race" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://twitter.com/BubbaWallace" target="_blank">Bubba Wallace</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/rileyherbst" target="_blank">Riley Herbst</a> are gearing up for racing in Las Vegas, aiming for triumph at the <a href="https://twitter.com/LVMotorSpeedway" target="_blank">Las Vegas Motor Speedway</a> with Wallace in <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar" target="_blank">Cup</a> and Herbst in <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar_xfinity" target="_blank">Xfinity</a>. Both drivers showcased their skill at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last year, with Wallace earning a fourth-place finish in the Pennzoil 400 and Herbst picking up his first career Xfinity win in October. As they approach the upcoming weekend, they took a moment to connect with the media, sharing thoughts and expectations for the races ahead. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wallace arrives at LVMS coming off two top-10 finishes at Daytona and Atlanta -- the only Cup Series driver to do so. He’s hoping to continue his streak of top-10 finishes this weekend. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“Vegas has always been really good to me and our team,” Wallace said. “Toyotas got the new body out, the Camry; the numbers show really well. So this will be the first race of the season; we got through those first two wild cards; it performed okay, so this will be the real test." </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Reflecting on the 2023 season, Wallace raced to clinch a playoff spot in the round of 16 based on points. This momentum propelled Bubba in the second playoff round, concluding the season with five top-5 finishes, ten top-10 finishes, and 285 laps led—an achievement marking a new career best. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Herbst, a Las Vegas native, is looking to continue a hot streak at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Coming out of Daytona and Atlanta, finishing in sixth and 15th, the Stewart-Haas driver is looking to drive his way to the front of the pack yet again. Herbst stands third in the Xfinity Series Driver Standings with 74 points, right behind Austin Hill and Sheldon Creed. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“I feel like we have the momentum,” Herbst said. “I walk into the garage in the Xfinity Series, knowing that I can win any race, lead every lap and that I am a championship contender. “I think, you know, that's new, and that happened after my win here in Las Vegas, and hopefully, we can continue that roll and be a dominant force this year.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Over the race weekend members of The Rebelle Rally, the first women’s off-road navigation rally raid in the United States, will be present for a special announcement by Pennzoil. Alex and Meg Taylor and their Jeep Wrangler 4XE as well as Rori Lewis and Shelby Hall and their Ford Bronco will be present at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Fan Zone Presented by Pennzoil throughout the weekend, where fans will have an opportunity to meet the drivers and see their vehicles up close. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both <a href="https://twitter.com/joeylogano" target="_blank">Joey Logano</a>, driver of the No. 22 Ford Mustang for Team Penske as well as his teammate and reigning NASCAR Cup Series Champion, <a href="https://twitter.com/Blaney" target="_blank">Ryan Blaney</a>, driver of the No. 12 Ford Mustang, will be carrying exclusive Pennzoil paint schemes on their cars. Logano has found the scheme especially lucky in winning the Pennzoil 400 twice in that livery (2019 & 2020) and the fall event at LVMS in 2022 that springboarded him to his second Cup championship. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since 1913, Pennzoil has crafted innovative formulas to help prolong engine life and promote top performance, much of which can be attributed to technical partnerships like those with Team Penske. Pennzoil engineers work closely with Team Penske to develop special motor oil formulations to maximize engine protection and engine performance. Constant improvement developed throughout the season, in the harshest racing conditions, contributes to the advancement of the brand’s technology for your car. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“Jiffy Lube is proud to team up with Pennzoil for the seventh year to bring this action-packed NASCAR Cup Series event to race fans,” said Suzanne Clerkin, Chief Marketing Officer, Jiffy Lube International, Inc. “The Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube is a great opportunity to bring two leading iconic automotive brands together both on and off the track to help keep drivers on the road.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the end of 2022, leaders from Pennzoil and Speedway Motorsports Incorporated, owner and operator of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, announced a long-term continuation of the Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube NCS race at LVMS, a testament to how synonymous Pennzoil has become with the spring NASCAR weekend.

<p style="text-align: justify;"> Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube will kick off in style as <a href="https://twitter.com/Raiders" target="_blank">Las Vegas Raiders</a>’ two-time All-Pro punter <a href="https://twitter.com/AJCole90" target="_blank">A.J. Cole</a> has been named grand marshal for the 27th annual event. The three-time Pro Bowler will deliver the command to start engines before a massive crowd at <a href="https://twitter.com/LVMotorSpeedway" target="_blank">Las Vegas Motor Speedway</a>.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “This is going to be a thrill of a lifetime to get to do this,” Cole said. “I know it’s pretty special to be the person chosen to do this, so I promise I will make it memorable. On top of that, I’m looking forward to spending the day taking in all of the excitement of a NASCAR event.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Since joining the Raiders organization in 2019, Cole has been named to the All-Pro First-Team twice and selected for the Pro Bowl three times. For the 2023-2024 season, Cole led the NFL in net punting average and had the most punts stopped inside the 20. Cole was the Raiders nominee for the 2022 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, recognizing outstanding excellence on and off the field through exceptional community service. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> The Raider has achieved several records, notably setting the NFL record with an average of 63.6 yards per punt in a game against the New York Giants, totaling 318 yards. Additionally, he holds the franchise record for the longest punt at 83 yards. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Cole will join a list of distinguished guests who have also delivered the command at LVMS including Vegas Golden Knights Adin Hill and William Carrier, Legendary car builder Carroll Shelby, actor Mark Wahlberg, comedian Tim Allen, former Raiders Marcus Allen and Derek Carr, actor Cole Hauser, socialite Kim Kardashian, country music group Rascal Flatts, noted broadcaster Brent Musburger and UFC President Dana White. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The El Cajon, Calif. competitor, winner of 83 NASCAR Cup Series events in 16 consecutive seasons and recent inductee into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, will be joined for enshrinement by the late Dick Cobb, Las Vegas, Nev., winner of eight track championships over a 45-year racing career in Nevada and California; Eric Holmes, Escalon, Calif., winner of three NASCAR West (now ARCA Menards Series West) titles; Jimmy Vasser, Canoga Park, Calif., 10-time Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) winner, Indianapolis 500 co-owner champion and 2023 IMSA GTD championship co-owner; and Calvin (Cal) Wells III, NASCAR Cup Series race winning team owner, Off-Road Hall of Fame inductee and current chief executive officer of Legacy Motor Club. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “Our Class of 2024 is second to none in diversity of competition,” said Ken Clapp, Chairman and CEO of the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame. “Jimmie Johnson, Eric Holmes and Dick Cobb mastered three different levels of NASCAR competition. Jimmy Vasser, a Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) champion and Cal Wells, an off-road racing Hall of Famer and team executive add two more racing disciplines to this year’s Class. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “I am most excited about the West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame’s Pioneers of Speed initiative, providing us with the opportunity to honor those whose careers began and often ended before World War II. Many 21st Century fans may not recognize the names and achievements of these distinguished and courageous figures. All, however, deserve to be honored and remembered through our organization. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “We will be announcing the first 10 honorees later this spring.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The organization also will induct its seventh Heritage class, comprised of individuals whose careers largely ended prior to 1971.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Also featured will be the 4th Annual Kickin’ Doorz Down Philanthropist of the Year Award presented by 51FIFTY.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Former <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar" target="_blank">NASCAR</a> driver and racing analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/kylepetty" target="_blank">Kyle Petty</a> is hitting the open road once again to lead the 28th Anniversary <a href="https://twitter.com/KPCharityRide" target="_blank">Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America</a> – one of the most popular charity rides in the country. From <b>May 4 – 10, 2024</b>, Petty will lead 150 motorcycles across nine states on a seven-day trek, covering more than 2,100 miles in an effort to raise funds and awareness for <a href="https://twitter.com/VictoryJunction" target="_blank">Victory Junction</a> – a camp dedicated to providing life-changing camping experiences for children with serious and chronic medical conditions. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Presented by <a href="https://twitter.com/CoxAutomotive" target="_blank">Cox Automotive</a>, the Ride will kick-off in Deadwood, South Dakota, on Saturday, May 4 and will end in Greensboro, North Carolina on Friday, May 10 with a celebratory homecoming at Victory Junction. Cox Automotive is the world’s largest automotive services and technology provider and is a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises. The company’s brands include Autotrader, Kelley Blue Book and <a href="https://twitter.com/Manheim_US" target="_blank">Manheim</a>, which will host breakfast for the Ride at Manheim Indianapolis on Wednesday, May 8. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“Our team is beyond excited to host Kyle and the riders at Manheim Indianapolis for breakfast during their 28th Anniversary route,” said Chuck Werner, general manager for the Louisville-Indianapolis Market Center. “It means so much for us to be included in this inspiring event and we look forward to helping the Ride send many deserving kids to Victory Junction.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Petty has a jam-packed route planned for the 2024 Ride’s 250 participants, including 30 new riders. In fact, Petty has coined this adventure “The AmerICON Ride,” to pay homage to the iconic American attractions featured on this year’s Ride. Some of the highlights include visiting Mount Rushmore National Monument, stopping at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, exploring Churchill Downs – home of the Kentucky Derby, touring the legendary National Corvette Museum, visiting Bristol Motor Speedway, and so much more. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Spectators along the 2024 route are encouraged to attend one of the Ride’s seven overnight stops or daily pit stops to greet Petty and the riders, purchase memorabilia and make donations. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicXhKE6MNjMvdeenYHY6bc3sIF5rtEusTLpQTIpvzue1EnEqeqgkQnvQiSUqLDlxkTg8Ob4mKo63Ro-U4Xy_D_S5SlTsgXW1dLFEQHd8_px2V2bOQYSV6cGsfJg_S20vOFXjkxyzAQAp7REzvXqap901i3tlcsXaOitKf_ta1eXpWZZHLKx78kwSLnZrk/s1080/KPCR-Map.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America Crosses Nine States on 2024 Ride" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicXhKE6MNjMvdeenYHY6bc3sIF5rtEusTLpQTIpvzue1EnEqeqgkQnvQiSUqLDlxkTg8Ob4mKo63Ro-U4Xy_D_S5SlTsgXW1dLFEQHd8_px2V2bOQYSV6cGsfJg_S20vOFXjkxyzAQAp7REzvXqap901i3tlcsXaOitKf_ta1eXpWZZHLKx78kwSLnZrk/w400-h400/KPCR-Map.jpeg" title="Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America Crosses Nine States on 2024 Ride" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><h4>28th Anniversary Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America Schedule:</h4>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">“This year marks the 20th Anniversary of Victory Junction, so I immediately knew we had to bring the Ride back to camp to celebrate this incredible milestone. After all, the Ride has been there since Victory Junction’s inception, as a founding supporter in 2004, and has remained the largest cumulative donor,” said Petty. “From riding the Black Hills of South Dakota and crossing the mighty Mississippi River to visiting iconic American landmarks, we are going to experience some truly incredible places on this year’s Ride, but none more so than ending back ‘home’ at Victory Junction – where we can see so many deserving kids light up with happiness and experience the magic that lives at camp.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Victory Junction has served as the Ride’s primary beneficiary since its establishment by Petty and his family in 2004 in honor of his late son, Adam. Since it first began in 1995, the Ride has raised more than $21 million for Victory Junction and other children’s charities. As a result, the Ride has helped Victory Junction mobilize resources to provide over 115,000 camp experiences for children of all levels of abilities who are living with complex medical conditions at no cost to their families. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It was a race of breathtaking four-wide action into corners not built to accommodate such derring-do. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And it was totally appropriate that Sunday‘s Ambetter Health 400 <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar" target="_blank">NASCAR Cup Series</a> race at <a href="https://twitter.com/ATLMotorSpdwy" target="_blank">Atlanta Motor Speedway</a> ended in a three-wide photo finish, with Trackhouse Racing‘s <a href="https://twitter.com/Daniel_SuarezG" target="_blank">Daniel Suárez</a> eking out a victory over Ryan Blaney by what looked to be an inch or two at the finish line. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">NASCAR timing and scoring showed Suárez ahead of Blaney by 0.003 seconds at the stripe, with Kyle Busch in third, 0.007 seconds behind the race winner. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “It was so damn close, man,” said Suárez, still marveling that he was the winner. “It was so damn close. It was good racing. Ryan Blaney there, Kyle Busch, Austin Cindric also was doing a great job giving pushes. In the back straightaway, he didn’t push me because he knew I was going to (screw) his teammate, but, man, what a job. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “We wrecked (on) Lap 2. The guys did an amazing job fixing this car.

The final stage had run under green flag conditions as the drivers wondered if they would have enough fuel to make it to the checkered flag. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hill managed to save enough fuel earlier in the stage and he capitalized on the opportunity before him. He took the lead and led the final two laps. Hill won at Atlanta, his home track, for the third time in three seasons. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “We came to the restart, I’m like sloshing it around,” Hill said about his fuel to Fox Sports after the race. “We go through the gears and when I went to shift from — I think it was third to fourth — I actually stumbled. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “(Chandler Smith) hit me really hard and that like woke (the car) back up and I just had enough fuel to complete the lap.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<h4>Kyle Busch Claims his 65th Career Truck Series Win at Atlanta </h4>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Driving the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet in his first start of 2024, <a href="https://twitter.com/KyleBusch" target="_blank">Kyle Busch</a> inherited the lead from Grant Enfinger on Lap 129 of 135 and held off Ty Majeski and Corey Heim over the final five laps to win his seventh race at Atlanta Motor Speedway and the 65th of his career, extending his own series record. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Enfinger was out front for 21 consecutive laps before one of his tires began losing pressure, forcing him to the pits after Busch, Majeski, Heim, Taylor Gray and Nick Sanchez, last week’s winner at Daytona, sped past. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Busch crossed the finish line 0.187 seconds ahead of Majeski, who edged Heim for the runner-up position by 0.009 seconds. Gray and Sanchez came home fourth and fifth, respectively. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “I actually got a run on the 9 truck (Enfinger) down the backstretch,” Busch said of the pass for the win. “He must have been going flat down the backstretch and slowing down because it gave me – it sucked me up right to him. Then he got loose in the corner. I got loose in the corner. We all checked up trying not to crash. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “Thankfully, we didn’t. I thought that was a big moment. But then we got the lead right there, and after that, it was about trying to protect it. Majeski was a bit of a wing man today. Appreciate him – and the history we’ve had together growing up racing late models with him a lot in Wisconsin and around those parts. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “That was a lot of fun. Great to get Chevrolet to Victory Lane.” </div></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Star Nursery began in 1983 and operates in Southern Nevada, Southern Utah, and Northern Arizona, with 16 garden center locations and nine decorative rock yards. Not only is Star Nursery the premier garden center for all your landscaping needs, but it is also very familiar with motorsports, especially at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://twitter.com/KauligRacing" target="_blank">Kaulig Racing</a> announced today that <a href="https://twitter.com/derek9kraus" target="_blank">Derek Kraus</a> will make his <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar" target="_blank">NASCAR</a> Cup Series (NCS) debut in the No. 16 Western States Flooring Camaro ZL1 at <a href="https://twitter.com/LVMotorSpeedway" target="_blank">Las Vegas Motor Speedway</a>. <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kraus, who made eight <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar_xfinity" target="_blank">NASCAR Xfinity Series</a> (NXS) starts for Kaulig Racing in 2023 and earned three top-10 finishes, will also compete in a limited NCS schedule in the team’s No. 16 Camaro ZL1. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “I’m really excited to make my first Cup Series start with Kaulig Racing, the team that I also made my Xfinity Series debut with!” said Kraus. “I’m thankful to Matt Kaulig and Chris Rice for believing in me, as well as Western States Flooring, a partner that has supported me throughout my career. I can’t wait to get to work with Travis Mack’s group and see what we can do in Las Vegas.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although he will make his first NCS start in Las Vegas, Kraus practiced and qualified the No. 16 Camaro ZL1 in 2023 at Richmond Raceway, while teammate, AJ Allmendinger, competed in the NXS race at Road America before flying to Richmond to compete in the NCS race that Sunday. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"> “We’re excited to have Derek Kraus make his first Cup start with us at Kaulig Racing,” said Chris Rice, president of Kaulig Racing. “Not only did he practice in the No. 16 last year for AJ Allmendinger, but Derek is our simulator driver that helps get our setups ready each week. We know what Derek is capable of, and we can’t wait to see what he can do starting in Las Vegas.” </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Following his NCS debut at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Kraus will compete in the following races: </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">After a week of healthy and active curriculum, the kids of Food Brings Hope Community got to have a day of fun and games in the <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar" target="_blank">NASCAR</a> Experience at <a href="https://twitter.com/daytona" target="_blank">Daytona International Speedway</a>!<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The kids were greeted with pompoms and cheer from <a href="https://twitter.com/EmbryRiddle" target="_blank">Embry Riddle Aeronautical University</a>'s cheer team, with special appearances from <a href="https://twitter.com/MissAmerica" target="_blank">Miss America</a> (Madison Marsh), as well as <a href="https://twitter.com/ARCA_Racing " target="_blank">ARCA</a> driver Ed Pompa and <a href="https://twitter.com/KauligRacing" target="_blank">Kaulig Racing</a> drivers Daniel Dye, Daniel Hemric and Josh Williams. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, with the help of our sponsors Brown & Brown Insurance, Jeep Beach, Kaulig Giving, Kaulig Racing and <a href="https://twitter.com/rbfamfoundation" target="_blank">Ryan Blaney Family Foundation</a>, the kids were presented with brand new bikes and bike helmets, and ‘The NASCAR Foundation’ was able to leave a $15,000 donation to Food Brings Hope Community! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Sunny skies greeted campers as they arrived to setup their home away from home for the Ambetter Health 400 weekend. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s a sign of things to come as thousands of campers will fill campsites inside and around the speedway this week. All will enjoy more than 850 miles of <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar" target="_blank">NASCAR</a> action this weekend that is forecasted to be accompanied by beautiful spring weather. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fans make a lot of their own fun in the campgrounds during NASCAR weekend, but there’s a lot of great racing and entertainment on tap as well. It all starts Thursday with the Pedal Power Party bike ride around the track and <a href="https://twitter.com/sccnational" target="_blank">Speedway Children’s Charities</a> Laps for Charity track driving opportunity. Campers will also enjoy Friday night’s THOR Family of Companies Camper Appreciation Party - featuring free food, free beer, and special guest appearances – and the party in the Peach Pit Saturday night with live music, games, fireworks, and more. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All of this complements what is sure to be an action-packed weekend of racing across NASCAR’s three national touring series. The rising stars of the sport take center stage in Saturday’s NASCAR doubleheader in the Fr8 208 and RAPTOR King of Tough 250. NASCAR’s best hit the track for 400 miles of white-knuckle, high-speed competition in Sunday’s main event, the Ambetter Health 400. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Great ticket and camping options are still available for fans who want to experience NASCAR in Atlanta for themselves this weekend. Grandstand tickets start at $49 for Sunday and kids 12 and under are just $10. Plus AMS has created more opportunities to make the Ambetter Health 400 an unforgettable experience with memories that will last a lifetime. Pre-race track passes now include access to victory lane before the race and even a chance to see The King Richard Petty as the NASCAR world celebrates 75 years of the Petty family in racing, in addition to access to pit road, the Jon Langston pre-race concert, and driver introductions. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Affordable ticket add-ons are also available with exclusive opportunities for fans to interact with some of NASCAR’s biggest stars. Fans can add a Q&A with Georgia’s own <a href="https://twitter.com/chaseelliott" target="_blank">Chase Elliott</a>; a <a href="https://twitter.com/RossChastain" target="_blank">Ross Chastain</a> package that includes a Q&A, Watermelon Man swag, and an autograph from Chastain; or get the VIP experience from Coca-Cola, which includes a pre-race track pass, access to Coca-Cola’s VIP hospitality in Turn 1 with complimentary food and beverages, a guided garage tour while supplies last, and an exclusive Q&A with <a href="https://twitter.com/CocaColaRacing" target="_blank">Coca-Cola Racing</a> Family driver <a href="https://twitter.com/dennyhamlin" target="_blank">Denny Hamlin</a>.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Best of all, <a href="https://twitter.com/ATLMotorSpdwy" target="_blank">AMS</a> has delivered an option for fans who want a garage pass on Sunday of race weekend with the Ultimate Fan Pass. This ticket upgrade includes a guided garage tour and a garage pass that lets fans stick around and experience the raceday atmosphere and explore the garage on their own. This upgrade also features an exclusive meet and greet with AMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Brandon Hutchison and an OGIO backpack. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://twitter.com/WilliamByron" target="_blank">William Byron</a> was victorious in the 2024 DAYTONA 500 – 40 years to the day that <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamHendrick" target="_blank">Hendrick Motorsports</a> made its first <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar" target="_blank">NASCAR Cup Series</a> start in 1984. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Byron took the white flag at <a href="https://twitter.com/daytona" target="_blank">Daytona International Speedway</a> and seconds later two cars went spinning through the infield following contact. With the caution coming out, Byron earned his first DAYTONA 500 win and 11th victory in the Cup Series. The win vaults Hendrick Motorsports into a tie (with Petty Enterprises) for the most triumphs by a team in "The Great American Race" and the organization is the first to win the crown jewel event in five different decades. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">"I am just so proud of this team - this whole No. 24 Axalta Chevy team," Byron said. "Winning on the 40th anniversary to the day (of Hendrick Motorsports’ first race). Extremely blessed and thankful for all the opportunities. We just want to keep it going.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Alex_Bowman" target="_blank">Alex Bowman</a> took second to give the Rick Hendrick-owned team a 1-2 finish in the DAYTONA 500. Kyle Larson placed 11th, while Chase Elliott finished 14th. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Three of the four Hendrick Motorsports cars escaped damage following a big wreck with eight laps to go. Larson suffered a flat tire in the incident but could continue. The Hendrick Motorsports trio of Byron, Bowman and Elliott restarted in the first three rows with Byron controlling the inside lane for the final restart on lap 197. Byron edged ahead of Ross Chastain with four laps to go and was holding off several hard chargers before the final caution came out after the white flag. The win is also the 26-year-old driver's second at Daytona as his first win came in the summer race in 2020. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

This is an amazing win, a huge win." </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Byron's four laps led in the No. 24 Axalta Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 all came at the end of the race. Starting at the back of the field for moving to a backup car, he was the only Hendrick Motorsports driver to score stage points in the opening two stages as he finished fifth in stage one and sixth in stage two. In the final stage, Byron methodically worked through the draft to get into the top 10 after restarting the last segment in 21st. After pitting for fuel only with 19 laps to go, he rejoined the race in eighth and rode the middle lane to get into second with Bowman behind him before the caution for "The Big One" came out with eight laps to go. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">"You just don’t know how these races are going to end and you have to try to put yourself in a great spot," Byron said. "I felt like our team did a great job all day just putting ourselves in position and it’s pretty incredible." </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bowman's second-place finish marks his best result in the DAYTONA 500 and is his second straight top-five finish at the 2.5-mile track. Starting the race in the seventh position, the 30-year-old driver noted he was a little free in the opening stage and was able to finish fourth. In stage two, Bowman placed 18th as the No. 48 Ally Racing team elected to protect their car for the final stage with the pack getting dicey. Bowman spent much of the final stage in the top 10, using the inside lane to his advantage to gain spots. After getting up to third for the final restart, Bowman chose the outside lane behind Chastain. He was unable to run down his teammate before the end of the race. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">"Proud of William (Byron) and his team. They deserved it there at the end," Bowman said. "They did all the right things and I feel like we did too there at the end. Had to go up and block the top lane and that just hurt the middle for a bit. We got the middle back rolling and then they all started crashing. </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">"Proud of everybody on this No. 48 Ally Chevy team. Super pumped for everybody at Hendrick Motorsports. It’s 40 years to the day since the first Hendrick Motorsports race, so really cool to see William in victory lane." </div></blockquote> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Two <a href="https://twitter.com/nascar" target="_blank">NASCAR</a> Cup Series teams failed twice in Daytona 500 pre-qualifying inspection Wednesday, resulting in crew member ejections and the loss of pit-stall selection for today’s 150-mile qualifying races. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The No. 48 <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamHendrick" target="_blank">Hendrick Motorsports</a> Chevrolet of <a href="https://twitter.com/Alex_Bowman" target="_blank">Alex Bowman</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/23XIRacing/status/1755974175267659790" target="_blank">23XI Racing</a>’s No. 45 Toyota for <a href="https://twitter.com/TylerReddick" target="_blank">Tyler Reddick</a> both passed inspection, but on their third attempt through inspection. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bowman wound up 17th in Wednesday evening’s qualifying session, and Reddick was 36th on the speed chart in the first on-track action ahead of Sunday’s season-opening <a href="https://twitter.com/DAYTONA" target="_blank">Daytona 500</a> (2:30 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM). </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Each team’s car chief was ejected for Thursday’s qualifying races: </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>No. 45 Toyota: Michael Hobson</li>
<li>No. 48 Chevrolet: Ty Sipes</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both teams will also select pit stalls last for Thursday’s Bluegreen Vacations Duel qualifying races (7 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM), which will help determine the 40-car starting lineup for Sunday’s 500-mile classic. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bowman’s qualifying effort snapped his streak of Daytona 500 front-row starts, which ended at a record six in a row. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
