JackRabbit Mobility Partners with NASCAR Cup Series Driver J.J. Yeley

JackRabbit Mobility Partners with NASCAR Cup Series Driver J.J. Yeley

Bringing Micro eBikes to the Track

The ultimate electric pit bike is the perfect mode of transportation for pros, fans and large-scale event operations teams

 

JackRabbit Mobility, the pioneer of the micro ebike movement, is thrilled to announce its newest partnership with NASCAR Cup Series driver J.J. Yeley. Known for its ultra-lightweight, portable, and 100% electric micro ebikes, JackRabbit is now hitting the fast lane with Yeley and his team, providing the ultimate pit, road and trackside transportation solution.

 

The Perfect Ride for the Track and Beyond

Navigating a crowded NASCAR track is no easy feat, but JackRabbit's ultra-compact design, 20 mph top speed, and fold-flat portability make it the ideal way for Yeley and his team to get around quickly, efficiently and quietly. Whether moving between the garage, pit lane, or hospitality areas, JackRabbit ensures that no step is wasted and no energy is lost—because when you're focused on racing at 200+ mph, every second off the track counts.

 

But it's not just the pros who can benefit from this game-changing ride that fills an important transportation gap at large-scale events. NASCAR teams, fans, operations companies and race attendees now have an electric-powered way to maneuver crowded infields, tailgate areas, and long parking lots without breaking a sweat—and without having to rent an expensive golf cart.

 

J.J. Yeley's Need for Speed (On and Off the Track)

For Yeley, whose life revolves around all things fast and on wheels, discovering JackRabbit felt like fate.

 

"I first came across JackRabbit at an event, and knew I had to have one," said Yeley. "At the track, we're constantly moving—between the garage, the pit box, and media appearances. Having an easy, fast, and portable ride like this is a total game-changer. Plus, it's just fun as hell to ride!"

 

JackRabbit x NASCAR: The Future of Micro Mobility

JackRabbit's partnership with Yeley further solidifies its position as the go-to micro ebike for motorsports professionals and fans alike, with pros like Ken Roczen, Travis Pastrana, Shane McElrath and Grant Harlan already riding one.

 

"With our ultra-lightweight foldable frame, no pedals, and swappable battery, JackRabbit is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to get where they need to go—fast, effortlessly, and with zero emissions," said JackRabbit CEO, Jason Kenagy. "JackRabbit has seen spontaneous success in Supercross, IndyCar, MotoGP, NitroCross, Formula Drift, and more—so our organic inclusion into the premier echelons of NASCAR was a natural next step for our company as we expand our enterprise partnerships and business."

 

Fans can now catch J.J. Yeley zipping around the track on his JackRabbit, and even better—they can ride one just like him.

A Fast $640,000: 2022 NASCAR Daytona 500's Surprising Story of HEX

A Fast $640,000: 2022 NASCAR Daytona 500's Surprising Story of HEX

The Tweet That Called and The Community Who Answered: Record Setting Crypto Community Sponsors Record Setting Driver

A Fast $640,000: 2022 NASCAR Daytona 500's Surprising Story of HEX

 

Triple Crown Champion and 1 of just 2 drivers in USAC history to ever win all 3 national titles in a single season — JJ Yeley — recently announced his plans to run the Daytona 500 with sponsorship from the HEX.com crypto community in partnership with Malco Enterprises, MBM Motorsports, and AXA Holdings.

 

In just 5 days over $640,000 was raised from the tweet that started it all:

 

"A friend of mine called me this week and asked if I knew a company who would sponsor a NASCAR team. I told her I didn't know a company but I knew a community." —Twitter @agapehex

 

Users of the blockchain's first certificate of deposit — HEX.com — are building substantial wealth with its time deposit feature, called staking, returning an average 38% APY on top of underlying price performance. These returns have been consistent across 2020, 2021, and now into 2022, creating thousands of new millionaires. At time of writing HEX has over 77,000 users with active stakes of $12 billion. 

 

 

Driven by performance, HEX and JJ seem the perfect pair. During an interview last week on Twitter Spaces, JJ commented:

 

"My entire life has been built around racing. I graduated high school a year early just to get out and race." When asked what drives him, JJ replied: "It's the competition. This is what I do. This is what I love!"

 

Iron sharpens iron. Much the same as JJ set records in USAC, HEX.com set records in cryptocurrency. With 24 USAC wins in the 2003 season, JJ broke the longstanding all time record of 19 set by AJ Foyt in '61, later tied by Sleepy Tripp '88 and Drake '00. HEX set records as well, launching as a finished product with 100% uptime and price performance that outpaces both Bitcoin and Ethereum from launch.

 

"I love all the donations and OG's who brought out big money but honestly it was the smaller guys who really tugged on my heart strings, telling me they are brand new but really want to contribute $100 or $200 dollars. To have brand new community members give up the opportunity cost to buy HEX and participate where they can — I don't think you find this anywhere else." —Twitter @MotleyInvestor

 

Last week's interview closed with a positive sendoff: "You've got the best community in crypto behind you — best of luck man!"

 

JJ replied: "I'm definitely excited about it! It's been a few years since they've sold out this early — everyone is so stoked and excited about getting to Daytona and checking out the new car and seeing really what's going to happen."

Parler Sponsors NASCAR Driver JJ Yeley in Las Vegas Race

Parler Sponsors NASCAR Driver JJ Yeley in Las Vegas Race
#NASCAR Driver JJ Yeley (#17)
JJ Yeley

 

Parler,  the free speech social media network, will be the primary sponsor of the No. 17 SS Green Light NASCAR Xfinity Series car driven by JJ Yeley for the Alsco Uniforms 302 (#Alsco302) at Las Vegas Motor Speedway  on Saturday, September 25th.

 

 

Parler’s platform has gained traction in the wake of changes in Big Tech policy, where various special-interest groups and government officials wield extraordinary influence. The world’s town square, as Parler is known, is built upon a foundation of respect for privacy and personal data, free speech, free markets, and ethical, transparent corporate policy.

 

NASCAR and the Xfinity series are notably cohesive with the Parler brand. NASCAR has made great strides with its diversity and inclusion programs, and Parler is the inclusive social media platform, welcoming people from all political affiliations and with all viewpoints. In addition, Parler and NASCAR both stand for liberty, family values, and love of country.

 

Parler CEO George Farmer said aligning with a driver who embodies the values important to both the Parler and NASCAR communities was essential. “JJ Yeley is that guy,” Farmer said.

 

Yeley is equally excited, “It’s great having Parler on board for this race. I think Parler echoes the sentiment of a lot of NASCAR fans and myself, that free speech and the ability to have open conversation on or offline without fear is an important part of this country.”

 

The race will air on NBCSN and licensed streaming services.

 

For all the details leading up to race day, be sure to follow Parler and JJ Yeley!

NASCAR Xfinity Series at Nashville Superspeedway

NXS “Tennessee Lottery 250” #NASCAR
  • The Date: Saturday, June 19
  • The Time: 3:30 p.m. ET
  • TV: NBCSN, 3 p.m. ET
  • Radio: MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio
  • Distance: 250.04 miles (188 Laps)
    • Stage 1 (Ends on Lap 45)
    • Stage 2 (Ends on Lap 90)
    • Final Stage (Ends on Lap 188)

 

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Nashville Superspeedway this weekend for the Tennessee Lottery 250 at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio the 15th race of the season.

 

The last time the Xfinity Series raced at Nashville Superspeedway was in 2011 and a few of the drivers entered to run in this weekend’s race competed at Nashville back then.

 

 

Those drivers are Justin Allgaier, Michael Annett, Jeremy Clements, Timmy Hill, JJ Yeley, David Starr, Landon Cassill and NASCAR Cup Series two-time champion Kyle Busch. Joe Gibbs Racing’s Busch is the only driver entered this weekend that has previously won at Nashville (2009).

 

Who Has the Upper Hand At Nashville?

With some drivers having made previous starts in the Xfinity Series at Nashville Superspeedway, those drivers might feel a little more confident heading into this weekend’s race than others.

 

Especially for someone like Kyle Busch who has won here before and is coming off of his 99th career Xfinity Series win last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. Busch will make his 11th career start this weekend at Nashville in the Xfinity Series. He has one win (2009) from the pole position and four top fives and five top 10s in his 10 starts. He has an average start of 8.9 and an average finish of 12.8. He’s led 490 laps and completed 2,197 laps of 2,250 attempted.

 

In six starts, Justin Allgaier has three top fives, three top 10s and one pole award. He led 58 laps and has an average start of 11.2 and an average finish of 10.8. Allgaier has finished fourth three times – both races in 2010 and most recently in 2011.

 

Michael Annett’s best finish in six starts at Nashville is ninth in 2010. He has an average start of 18.0 and an average finish of 17.0.

 

In five starts for Jeremy Clements, he has a best finish of 19th that came in 2010 and in only two starts, Landon Cassill has a best finish of ninth that came in 2008.

 

JJ Yeley will make his ninth start on Saturday at Nashville. He has a best finish of fourth from 2006. In total, he has one top five and three top 10s with an average finish of 15.4.

 

In two Xfinity Nashville starts, Timmy Hill finished 33rd and 22nd and in David Starr’s one start at the track, he finished 29th.

Greenlight Debit Card for Kids On Board the #27 of J.J. Yeley

Every account is FDIC-insured

Greenlight Debit Card for Kids On Board the #27 of J.J. Yeley #NASCAR


Have you discovered the Greenlight Debit Card for Kids? I hadn’t until I learned that the company was sponsoring J.J. Yeley for the All Star Open. As an Oma (Dutch Grandmother) to five youngsters, I found this concept both awesomely timely and efficient.

J.J. Yeley, in the #27, will start the Open from the thirteenth position in his Rick Ware Racing Ford. Yeley competes full time in the top NASCAR Series. He was the 2001 and 2003 USAC Sprint Cup Champion; the 2002 and 2003 USAC Silver Crown Champion; and the 2003 USAC “Triple Crown” Winner. J.J. has three hundred and seven (307) cup races under his belt.

As cash usage dwindles, the Greenlight Debit Card for Kids Teens, and College Students provides parents an efficient convenience while teaching their youngsters good money habits. These app-based cards put parents in control, while letting kids learn from their mistakes without getting into serious trouble for only $4.99 per month!

Why Parents Choose Greenlight

Chore management
  • First month free. No contracts. • Includes debit cards for up to five kids • No minimum age. No minimum balance. • No transaction, international or overdraft fees • Their first replacement cards are on us
  • Turn “Do I have to?” into “All done!” Create in-app chore lists and tie the work to perks.

Allowance on autopilot
  • Automatically transfer allowances to kids’ accounts and help them divvy up their earnings between their Spend, Save and Give accounts.

Instant transfers to kids’ cards
  • Send money instantly to your kids' accounts anytime, anywhere. And everyone sleeps a little bit better.

Real-time transaction notifications
  • Get an alert any time the card is used, including when it’s declined for any reason. You always know when, where and how much money they’re spending.

Store-specific spend controls
  • Greenlight is the only debit card that lets you select each store where kids are allowed to spend. If they try to spend where they shouldn’t, we’ll alert you immediately.

Educational app for kids
  • A special version of the Greenlight app* lets kids track balances, work chore lists and more.
  • *App is optional; kids without smart devices can still use their cards.

Switch card on or off from the app
  • If a card is lost or stolen, you can immediately disable it in the Greenlight app. And then switch it back on when the card turns up in the laundry.

Save the change with Round Ups
  • It’s the digital version of putting spare change in a piggy bank. Kids can round up purchases to the next dollar and automatically add the change to their savings. Even when they’re spending, they’re saving.

Parent-Paid Interest on savings
  • Set and pay interest on your kids’ Save accounts, teaching them the magic of compound growth. Turn your savers into super savers!

Personal savings goals

  • Teens with jobs can set up direct deposit and have their paychecks sent straight to their Greenlight account, so their money is all in one place.

Enabled for Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • Kids can add their Greenlight card as an Apple Pay or Google Pay payment method* so they can tap and pay in an instant. *Subject to Apple Pay and Google Pay age requirements.

Referral bonus

Dash 4 Cash Has a New Lineup Of Tracks In 2017

#NASCAR XFINITY Series’ Preview
With great anticipation, the NASCAR XFINITY Series welcomes the return of the Dash 4 Cash program in 2017. This time around a few things will be different, a new lineup of tracks will host the program along with a slight format change to align itself with the new enhanced stage racing format.

Phoenix Raceway* is the first of four tracks that will host the Dash 4 Cash program in 2017. Bristol Motor Speedway (4/22), Richmond International Raceway (4/29) and Dover International Speedway (6/2) are the remaining venues to include the Dash 4 Cash program in their NASCAR XFINITY Series races.


Below are few quick bullets to get you caught up to speed with the new Dash 4 Cash program format:
  • Full-time NASCAR XFINITY Series drivers who have declared for points in the series will compete for four positions in Dash 4 Cash events, each awarding the winner $100,000.
  • The top two eligible drivers in each of the first two stages will qualify for the Dash 4 Cash bonus round in the Final Stage (four total drivers).
  • The highest finisher among these four drivers wins the $100,000 prize and is one step closer to qualifying for the NASCAR XFINITY Series playoffs.
  • Two Dash 4 Cash wins equal a race win in terms of eligibility for the playoffs.
  • This year, should one driver capture all four Dash 4 Cash awards, XFINITY will award the winner with an additional $600,000, bringing the total payout to an even $1 million. In a new twist, drivers no longer need to win the final race outright to capture the bonus.
