Next generation of the Busch family to Debut at LVMS Bullring

Next generation of the Busch family to Debut at LVMS Bullring

Next generation of the Busch family to Debut at LVMS Bullring

 

The first family of Las Vegas motorsports will add to the family legacy on Saturday, March 4 when Brexton Busch makes his West Coast Bandolero debut in the Bash at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

 

Busch, the 7-year old son of two-time NASCAR champion Kyle Busch, has already made an impression in the racing world racking up wins at tracks around the country. He is coming off an impressive 2022 season which saw him win 32 races at 13 different tracks across 11 states in two separate styles of racecars. He also was able to collect his second track championship in as many years, claiming the title in the Beginner Box Stock division at Mountain Creek (N.C.) Speedway.

 

As part of his progression into various styles of racecars at tracks all over the country, on March 4 he will make his first Bandolero start on the track his father racked up more than 100 wins across several divisions.

 

 

“It’s going to be a lot of fun to race at the same track that my Dad, Grandpa Tom and Uncle Kurt have a lot of wins at,” Busch said. ‘”I haven’t raced my Bandolero much, but hopefully I can get the win!”

 

The Bullring opened in 1985 with Brexton’s grandfather, Tom Busch, winning the first ever race. Brexton’s uncle, former NASCAR champion Kurt Busch, picked up more than 30 wins during the 1990s at the Bullring.

 

The March 5 event will also include a Legends car feature and racing will start approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Alsco Uniforms 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the LVMS superspeedway. Admission to the grandstands is free and a limited number of shuttles will be available from the superspeedway to the Bullring.

Kyle Busch Notches First Win of RCR Era

Kyle Busch Notches First Win of RCR Era

Prevails at Auto Club

Kyle Busch Notches First Win of RCR Era

 

The Kyle Busch era at Richard Childress Racing began three weeks ago at the Los Angeles Coliseum, but the coronation was reserved for Sunday‘s Pala Casino 400 in the last NASCAR Cup Series race at 2-mile Auto Club Speedway.

 

Busch grabbed the lead from Ross Chastain on Lap 165 and regained it on Lap 180 at the end of a cycle of green-flag pit stops, as the race ran under green for the final 55 laps. He crossed the finish line on Lap 200 with a 2.998-second advantage over runner-up Chase Elliott.

 

The victory was the 61st of Busch‘s career, most among active drivers and ninth all-time. For the 19th straight season, Busch has won at least one NASCAR Cup Series race, breaking a tie with seven-time champion Richard Petty for the series record.

 

“Welcome to RCR, baby,” the No. 8 radio reported as Busch crossed the line. “First of many.”

 

Kyle and Kurt Busch now hold the record for most combined Cup victories by brothers with 95, one more than the total accumulated by Bobby and Donnie Allison.

 

Coincidentally, Busch claimed the first Cup win of his career at Auto Club, the bulk of whose property was recently sold — with plans to replace the 2-mile speedway with a short track.

 

Busch‘s victory at Auto Club came in his second start in the No. 8 Chevrolet for RCR, the team he joined after 15 seasons and two series championships with Joe Gibbs Racing.

 

“I can‘t thank Richard and Judy (Childress) enough, Austin (Dillon) for calling me and getting me talking and getting me the opportunity to come over here to RCR,” said Busch, who had to overcome a pit-road speeding penalty under caution on Lap 43.

 

“The guys did a great job. (Crew chief) Randall (Burnett) — everybody that worked so hard in the offseason. We did a lot of sim stuff, a lot of testing in general, just trying to get up to speed. There is nothing more rewarding than being able to go to Victory Lane. …

 

“You put yourself in a different situation and you‘re able to reward your guys. It‘s not about me always winning, but about the guys. I‘ve worked with a lot of great people who‘ve given me a lot of great opportunities in my career. It‘s awesome to be able to reward them.”

Kyle Busch Has the Most Active Wins at @AutoClubSpdwy

Four Cup Race Wins with One Pole

Kyle Busch Has the Most Active Wins at @AutoClubSpdwy

 

Kyle Busch won his first #NASCAR Cup Series race at the ‘Sony HD 500’ at California Speedway while driving the Hendrick Motorsports No. 5 Kellogg's Chevrolet. Kyle started 25th and led 95 of 254 laps.

 

At the time, Kyle was the youngest-ever Cup race winner at age 20 years and 125 days. “It was really cool to be able to do my first burnout and celebrate with all the flashbulbs and lights and the speedway’s fireworks,” Busch said.

 





Busch has won the Auto Club 400 four times, most recently in 2019 when he notched his 200th NASCAR victory. His other Fontana wins happened in 2005; 2013; & 2014.

 

In his twenty-three Fontana races, "Rowdy" has four wins; eleven top fives and sixteen top ten finishes. He has one pole and has led eight hundred and seven (807) laps.

 

Kyle will start today’s race from twenty-first (21) on the starting grid in the #8 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing.

Rain and Snow Postpones NASCAR Event

Xfinity Series Moved to Sunday with Cup

Rain and Snow Postpones #NASCAR Event

 

Saturday’s scheduled Xfinity Series race at Auto Club Speedway was postponed to Sunday by wet weather.

 

The race was rescheduled at 8 p.m. ET (FS2, Motor Racing Network, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) Sunday, following the Cup Series race at ACS.

 

Rain and Snow Postpones #NASCAR Event

 

Rain pounded the track much of the day. Snow, a rarity in the area and part of a massive winter storm that walloped California, fell for a while.

 

But NASCAR dried the track and attempted to start the race at about 6 p.m. ET. Drivers made several pace laps, but rain increased, forcing the cars to pit road before the green flag could be unfurled.

 

After about an hour’s wait — and a very long day for drivers and teams at the track, NASCAR postponed the race.

 

Since weather eliminated Saturday’s scheduled qualifying session, and the starting grid was set by rulebook metrics. This put Christopher Bell (Cup) and Austin Hill  (Xfinity) on pole for both races.

 





Drivers Tyler Reddick, Austin Dillon, and Ross Chastain will be pulling double duty and running both events.

Alfonso Ribeiro Named Honorary Pace Car Driver for the Pala Casino 400

Host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and Co-Host of “Dancing with the Stars”

Alfonso Ribeiro to Lead the #NASCAR Cup Series  #PalaCasino400 field to green on Sunday as the Honorary Pace Car Driver!

 

Auto Club Speedway announced today that veteran entertainer Alfonso Ribeiro will serve as the honorary pace car driver for the Pala Casino 400, the final NASCAR Cup Series race on the famed 2-mile oval on Sunday.

 

Ribeiro serves as host of ABC’s longest running show, “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and worked alongside Tyra Banks to co-host “Dancing with the Stars” for its 31st season.

 

“We’re ecstatic to have a performer of Alfonso’s caliber leading the field to green for the historic final race on our 2-mile oval,” said Auto Club Speedway President Dave Allen. “As a veteran in the television industry, Alfonso is all about entertaining and bringing joy to fans. He’ll find himself right at home here at Auto Club Speedway, where fans are first.”

 

 

Ribeiro, who began his electrifying 30-year career starring in the Tony® award-winning musical “The Tap Dance Kid,” took Broadway by storm early on with his unique style of musical and performing prowess. Tapping and dancing his way into the music industry, Ribeiro found himself working with the likes of Michael Jackson early on, appearing in his 1984 Pepsi campaign promoting his diamond record, Billie Jean, as well as producing multiple singles through Island Records.

 

Ribeiro transitioned seamlessly from stage to TV, where his career found its home after landing a role on NBC’s “Silver Spoons.” Continuing his partnership with NBC, he spent six seasons establishing his iconic role as Carlton Banks on NBC’s smash-hit, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Ribeiro soon stepped behind the camera to direct. Projects like “Meet the Browns,” “Are We There Yet?,” “One on One” and “Shake It Up” litter his expansive portfolio.

Don Felder to Perform Pre-Race Concert Prior to Pala Casino 400

Don Felder to Perform Pre-Race Concert Prior to Pala Casino 400

NASCAR Cup Series’ Pala Casino 400 Runs on Sunday

Don Felder to Perform Pre-Race Concert Prior to Pala Casino 400

 

Guitar legend Don Felder already has his name secured in the rock and roll history books as the co-writer of “Hotel California.” On Sunday, Feb. 26, he’ll make NASCAR history as the final pre-race performer at Auto Club Speedway’s  2-mile oval.

 

The track announced today that Felder will perform a full concert in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Fan Zone prior to the Pala Casino 400. The former lead guitarist of The Eagles and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will fire up the crowd before the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series compete for the final time on the legendary track.

 

“Don Felder is recognized in rock and roll history as an integral member of one of the most popular bands of our time,” said Auto Club Speedway President Dave Allen. “We look forward to welcoming Don Felder to perform for our race fans to get them ready for the Pala Casino 400.”

 

In 2023, Felder finds himself most decidedly back in the driver’s seat with the release of his first solo album in seven years, “American Rock ’N’ Roll” (BMG). It consists of 11 high-energy rockers mixed with touching, thoughtful ballads, and also boasts a who’s who of A-list guest contributors including Slash, Sammy Hagar, Peter Frampton, Mick Fleetwood, Joe Satriani, Orianthi, Richie Sambora, Alex Lifeson, and many, many more.

 

Not only is Felder a proud, longstanding member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, having been inducted with the Eagles back in 1998, he was also inaugurated into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville in 2016 and the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2017. Fact is, Felder spent 27 years with the Eagles, who own the fine distinction of recording the top-selling album of all time — “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”, which has sold over 38 million copies (and counting).

 

“I’m blessed enough to have contributed to and been a part of a very talented mixture of voices, writing, guitar parts, and production. I’m very proud of that,” he says of the group.

 

Don left the band in 2001 and has since forged an impressive career as a top-tier solo artist with a three fully realized full-length albums as well and several very successful singles for film scores like “Heavy Metal,” 1983’s sonically soaring “Airborne” and 2012’s multifaceted song-cycle treatise, “Road to Forever” and “American Rock ‘N’ Roll.” Felder added “best-selling author” to his impressive C.V. when his spellbinding 2008 memoir, Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001), became an instant New York Timessmash bestseller.

 

The NASCAR weekend at Auto Club Speedway marks the historic continuation of NASCAR’s 75th anniversary season. The action begins on Saturday, Feb. 25 with the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ Production Alliance Group 300, then continues Sunday with the NASCAR Cup Series’ Pala Casino 400.

Misty May-Treanor Named Honorary Starter for Pala Casino 400

Misty May-Treanor Named Honorary Starter for Pala Casino 400

"Honored to be Part of the Final Race on Auto Club Speedway’s 2-Mile Oval"

Misty May-Treanor Named Honorary Starter for Pala Casino 400 #NASCAR

 

Auto Club Speedway will have a gold-medal flare for the final race on its 2-mile oval. Today, the track named three-time Olympic gold medalist and California native Misty May-Treanor the honorary starter for the Pala Casino 400 on Sunday, Feb. 26.

 

The beach volleyball champion will wave the green flag ahead of the highly-anticipated NASCAR Cup Series follow-up to the DAYTONA 500.

 

“We’re thrilled to have Misty as our honorary starter at Auto Club,” said Dave Allen, President of Auto Club Speedway. “She’s an incredible athlete and a sporting legend of the highest degree – the perfect fit for this historic last race on the 2-mile oval.”

 

Throughout her career, May-Treanor amassed more than 100 championships and competed in four Olympic games, her first in Sydney in 2000; however, it wasn’t until the 2004 Athens games she won her first Olympic gold alongside teammate Kerri Walsh-Jennings. From there, the pair went on to win another gold medal in the 2008 games and again in 2012, becoming the most successful duo in the history of women’s beach volleyball with 112 consecutive wins – a record that still stands today.

 

In addition to being a decorated Olympian, May-Treanor also holds the title of NASCAR Co-Grand Marshal. She, alongside other sporting legends gave the command before the inaugural Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum in 2022. Now, she’s back at another NASCAR event, adding a new accomplishment to her impressive resume – honorary starter for the Pala Casino 400.

 

“I’m honored to be part of the final race on Auto Club Speedway’s 2-mile oval,” said May-Treanor. “I can’t wait to feel the adrenaline in the air that always accompanies NASCAR racing.”

 

The NASCAR weekend at Auto Club Speedway marks the historic continuation of NASCAR’s 75thanniversary. The action begins on Saturday, Feb. 25 with the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ Production Alliance Group 300, then continues on Sunday with the NASCAR Cup Series’ Pala Casino 400.

Michael Rooker Named Grand Marshal for Pala Casino 400

Michael Rooker Named Grand Marshal for Pala Casino 400

"grateful for the chance to give the command"

Michael Rooker Named Grand Marshal for Pala Casino 400 #NASCAR

 

 

All puns intended, the final command to start engines at Auto Club Speedway’s historic 2-mile oval will be a “Rowdy” one to remember. That’s because Michael Rooker will serve as the Grand Marshal for the Pala Casino 400 on Sunday.

 

The actor known for his role as Rowdy Burns in “Days of Thunder” will bellow the famous command “drivers start your engines!”

 

“Michael Rooker is an immensely successful actor, but his turn as Rowdy Burns is one of the most memorable on-screen depictions of motorsports on the big screen,” said Auto Club Speedway President Dave Allen. “We are proud to welcome him as our Grand Marshal, and we can’t wait to hear him give the command for the historic last race on the 2-mile oval.”

 

NASCAR and Auto Club Speedway announced earlier that the Pala Casino 400 will be the last race held on the track’s current configuration. Planning continues for a proposed half-mile short track located on a portion of the speedway’s current property, but timing for commencement of that project remains uncertain.

 

That lends extra gravitas to Rooker’s role on Sunday, and he embraces the opportunity.

 

“I am grateful for the chance to give the command for this historic event,” Rooker said. “As someone who was raised in NASCAR country, I’ve always appreciated fans asking about my portrayal of Rowdy Burns in ‘Days of Thunder’. As I return to another NASCAR race, I can unequivocally state that I agree with Robert Duvall’s character Harry Hogge who said, ‘rubbin, son, is racin’.”

 

Rooker is an American actor best known for his turn as the blue-skinned alien Yondu Udonta in the top grossing Marvel films Guardians of the Galaxy, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and also as the character fans loved to hate on AMC’s worldwide hit television show The Walking Dead, Merle Dixon.

 

Rooker has thrilled fans for decades with complex portrayals of characters audiences can’t help but embrace despite their dark personas. He made his film debut in 1986 playing the title role in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. He has since appeared in numerous films including Mississippi Burning, Sea of Love, Days of Thunder, JFK, Cliffhanger, Tombstone, Mallrats, Rosewood, The 6th Day, and Jumper. Rooker also has a prolific relationship with writer/director James Gunn, appearing in Gunn-helmed productions Slither, Super, The Belko Experiment and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and Warner Bros’ The Suicide Squad. Rooker also voiced Yondu Udonta in the animated series What if….? from Marvel. In 2022, he began filming for the upcoming western series Horizons, reunited with JFK co-star Kevin Costner.

 

He has guest starred on numerous TV shows including Stargate SG-1, CSI: Miami, Las Vegas, JAG, Numb3rs, Law & Order, Chuck, Criminal Minds, Psych, Burn Notice, and Archer. He added his voice talents to Activision’s video game The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Rooker’s voice-over work in video games has also included Mike Harper, the lead character in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and the villain Vikke in Lollipop Chainsaw.

 

Rooker, who has eight brothers and sisters, was born in Jasper, Alabama and studied at the Goodman School of Drama in Chicago, where he moved with his mother and siblings at the age of thirteen.

 

The Pala Casino 400 weekend at Auto Club Speedway marks the historic continuation of NASCAR’s 75th anniversary season. The action begins on Saturday with the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ Production Alliance Group 300, then continues on Sunday with the NASCAR Cup Series’ Pala Casino 400.

What Comes in the Multo® Box

 

NASCAR Race Mom strives to give her family fresh “clean” food. Homemade butter is a source of fats that are healthier than commercially available butters. The latter contain trans-fats, which may result in weight gain and may harm your health in other ways as well.

 

However, making our own butter has always been a chore in the past. It proved to be very messy (using my KitchenAid) and time consuming (Hand Churning). Therefore, NRM was eager to give Multo® an opportunity to impress me.

 

Spoiler Alert – the Multo® went above and beyond.

 

 

The butter recipe is included in the Multo® ever-expanding recipe library. You just follow the detailed instruction via your Smart Kitchen Hub tablet. (Insert butterfly whisk. Add cream to the mixing bowl and whisk for 5 minutes / speed 4.)

 

 

The wholesome butter is halfway there. (Drain the buttermilk from the butter. Scrape down the sides and add the cold water. Wash the butter for 1 minute / speed 3. This will help to get a smoother butter. Drain the butter of the excess water then add the salt if you wish. (I leave the salt out) Mix for 1 minute / speed 3.)

 

 

Your butter is ready. WoW – how easy was that!?!

 

 

Remove from mixing bowl pass through a cheesecloth and shape as desired.

 

 

 

NASCAR Race Mom Tip: Separate the butter in half. Remove your butter a couple of hours before use to soften; making spreading easier. The other half can stay in the refrigerator to retain freshness longer.

 

With my busy schedule and love of yummy healthy nourishment – I love how the Cooking Pal Multo® performs!

 

What is next? NASCAR Race Mom is going to make it her mission to attend at least one Cooking Pal Interactive Cooking Classes weekly.  NRM is eager to tackle more complicated cuisine.

Daniel Dye to receive 2022 ARCA Menards Series Bounty Rookie Challenge Award

Daniel Dye to receive 2022 ARCA Menards Series Bounty Rookie Challenge Award

@danieldye43 finished second in the 2022 ARCA Menards Series standings

 

The 2022 ARCA Menards Series Bounty Rookie Challenge winner Daniel Dye will receive his award on Friday, February 17 in the lead-up to that evening’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Daytona International Speedway.

 

Dye will be joined by NASCAR Cup Series driver Chris Buescher, who won the ARCA rookie of the year award in 2011, the year before he earned the series championship.

 

Dye joins a distinguished list of former rookies of the year, dating back to Bill Granger in 1957. Since then, sixty-four others have earned the top rookie award including notables Charlie Glotzbach, former NASCAR Cup Series champion and Daytona 500 winner Benny Parsons, three-time series champion Dave Dayton, former series champions Lee Raymond and Bill Venturini, NASCAR Hall of Famer Davey Allison, ten-time series champion and all-time leading series winner Frank Kimmel, 2021 Daytona 500 winner Michael McDowell, NASCAR Cup Series stars Buescher and Alex Bowman, current NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series contender Hailey Deegan, and reigning NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Ty Gibbs.

 

“First off, earning a Rookie of the Year honor in any level of sports is impressive, and to do it in this series where there’s so much young talent coming up through the ranks is a great accomplishment,” Buescher said. “If I think back to my time in the ARCA series, it was a fight to earn this trophy and ultimately the series title a year later. The things I learned very early on in my career have been invaluable in where I am today, and my congratulations goes out to Daniel on his success; I’m excited to see where the ARCA Series is headed in 2023.”

 

“The list of drivers who have been the rookie of the year in the ARCA Menards Series includes some of the most recognizable names in American stock car history,” said ARCA president Ron Drager. “We are proud of our long, rich history and the accomplishments of those who have made the ARCA Menards Series their racing home,and the drivers who have gone on to success in the NASCAR national touring series.

 

“Daniel Dye joins that exclusive club of drivers who have won the ARCA Menards Series Bounty Rookie of Year, and he did so in a season that saw him challenge for race wins and the overall series championship.

There's a new A-Team in motorsports and it does not include Mr. T. Andy's Frozen Custard®, the award-winning frozen custard and treat shop, today announced an expanded investment in NASCAR through a partnership with Richard Childress Racing (RCR), driver Austin Dillon, B. J. McLeod Motorsports, and driver Anthony Alfredo. Fans can look forward to this new series of driver sponsorships in 2023, as well as a return to the popular 3-car paint scheme of years past, and a travelling Show Car program. Another bonus: the return of the Three-Crete Concrete, a motorsports themed treat sold nationally at all Andy's locations.

 

We have had a relationship with RCR, Austin Dillon and Anthony Alfredo that began several years ago. We are excited to have them back for the 2023 season while we create more opportunities for our fans to enjoy the NASCAR experience with their family, friends and favorite frozen treats," said Andy Kuntz, CEO and owner of Andy's Frozen Custard. "Our motorsports alliance has allowed us to reach more fans and it has been very productive for our brand and our stores. The NASCAR/Andy's relationship has contributed to an increase in our national brand awareness and is also helping us grow almost as fast as the racecars we sponsor. We are on target to open nearly 28 new stores this year and have more than 100 in development."

 

Following are details of the expanded partnership:

The Three-Crete Concrete features Dillon's favorite toppings -- vanilla frozen custard, fresh banana, peanut butter and cookie dough – and will be available at all Andy's locations
  • Returning to the "A Team" in 2023 is Anthony Alfredo, who will be driving the No. 78 Andy's Frozen Custard Chevrolet at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 27 and at Texas Motor Speedway on September 23. Both races will be nationally televised.
  • Motorsports fans won't have to wait to go to the racetrack this year to get a taste of the excitement. On February 16, Andy's will be launching a travelling Show Car program featuring either the 3-car or the 78-car that will visit at least half of all Andy's locations in 2023. Its first stop will be with the 3-car in Sanford, Florida, at the Andy's located at 4625 St. Johns Parkway. Scheduled from 3-8 p.m., guests can enjoy $2 one-topping sundaes and a festive atmosphere. All in attendance can take photos with the car, hear the roar of its powerful engine, spin the prize wheel for free treats and merch, enjoy music and the chance to win free Andy's for a year. One lucky person will even win two free tickets to the Daytona 500!

Our company continues to support regional and developing drivers and we remain committed to being a part of the racing community for years to come."

Adding to his 1 BILLION+ career streams, the New Jersey native’s debut album CROSS COUNTRY is out now and features current chart-rising single “For What It’s Worth.” Hailed as the “symbol of Country music’s ongoing evolution” (Rolling Stone), the Bad Realm Records/Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville artist has more high-profile performances on deck for 2023 with supporting Walker Hayes and Shania Twain on tour, plus a return to Stagecoach Festival.
