“We are coming off our run in Iowa last weekend. We had a really great car – one of the best we’ve had all year. We collected some great points, and that is going to help our momentum going to Watkins Glen this weekend. It’s one of my favorite tracks! I’ve been there plenty of times in sports cars and the K&N Series. Going back this week, I’ve got teammate, AJ Allmendinger, another road course ringer. I’m excited to get out there – it’s one of the most scenic tracks. I love it! Hopefully we will have another solid run and get this LeafFilter Chevy back up front.”

Allmendinger to Drive for Kaulig Racing at Watkins Glen International

Lexington, N.C. – (July 17, 2019) – NASCAR Xfinity Series race winning team, Kaulig Racing announced today that part-time driver AJ Allmendinger will compete in the No. 10 Chevrolet at Watkins Glen International on Saturday, Aug. 3. Allmendinger is a previous winner at Watkins Glen, having earned the victory in 2014 in the Cup Series, NASCAR’s highest level of racing.
“It’s an honor to be able to compete for Kaulig Racing at one of my favorite tracks, Watkins Glen International,” Allmendinger said. “I’ve been fortunate enough to win there in the Cup Series and had a strong run finishing second last season in my only Xfinity start there. Matt Kaulig, Chris Rice and all of the guys made Daytona so enjoyable and fun, I can’t wait to get to The Glen.”
In his lone NXS start at the New York road course, Allmendinger collected one stage win (Stage Two) and led 11 laps en route to his runner-up finish. So far this season with Kaulig Racing, the veteran driver has led 33 laps and crossed the finish line in third – which all took place in his first start with the team at Daytona International Speedway (July 5).
As previously announced, Allmendinger is also scheduled to join the No. 10 team at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (Aug. 10) Road America (Aug. 24) and at Charlotte Motor Speedway for its ROVAL race (Sept. 28).
The primary partner for the No. 10 Chevrolet at Watkins Glen will be released at a later date.

Having teammate like AJ Allmendinger, Justin Haley and Tyler Reddick in the RCR camp to draft with is something we can build off of our previous superspeedway races. I just want to learn, hopefully have good track position all day and try to get a fourth of July victory down in Daytona.”

TORRENCE FALLS IN BRISTOL FINAL

TORRENCE STREAK ENDS AT FIVE

World Champ Falls to Salinas in Thunder Valley Nationals Final

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Steve Torrence lost his bid for another piece of drag racing history Sunday but still managed to extend his point lead as Top Fuel runner-up in the 19th annual NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway.

The reigning World Champion, who swept the six races comprising last year’s Countdown to the Championship, was trying to become the first driver in NHRA Top Fuel history to win as many as six consecutive races more than once.

Unfortunately, he came up .017 of a second short against Mike Salinas when his 10,000 horsepower Capco Contractors dragster slowed dramatically right before the finish in the troublesome right hand lane.  

Salinas won in 3.836 seconds at a finish line speed of 325.69 miles per hour.  Torrence, who forged a .039 of a second advantage at the start, trailed in 3.892 seconds at only 287.60 mph.  The result evened the final round record between the only two drivers with multiple wins this season.

“My guys did a great job of getting us down that right lane with a chance to win,” Torrence said.  “We’ll reload and get ready for the next one. There’s still a lot of racing to do before the Countdown.”

When qualifying begins Friday in the 13th annual Summit Racing Equipment Nationals at Norwalk, Ohio, the last of four consecutive June races, Torrence will lead Doug Kalitta by 339 points and Salinas by 357.  Each round won is worth 20 points.

The point leader will be joined in Norwalk by his dad, Billy, who will be back in the cockpit of the second Capco Contractors dragster, a car in which he won earlier this year at Phoenix, Ariz., and in which he was runner-up to his son at Topeka, Kansas.

“That’s a really good race team,” Torrence said of the unit assembled by Salinas, a San Jose, Calif., businessman who this year is making his first concerted bid for the championship.  “They’re gonna win a lot of races and make it real interesting once we get to the playoffs.”

The No. 3 qualifier behind Doug Kalitta and Leah Pritchett, Torrence took out veteran Pat Dakin in round one and Clay Millican in round two before beating pseudo-teammate and Capco crew member Dom Lagana in a key semifinal in which he lost the choice of lanes for the final to Salinas.

NEWS/VIDEO: Coke Zero Sugar 400 to Shift Race Date Beginning in 2020

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 26, 2019) – Beginning in 2020, the Coke Zero Sugar 400 NASCAR Cup Series race will shift from its July 4th weekend date to Saturday night, Aug. 29 and will serve as the final race of the NASCAR regular season, Daytona International Speedway President Chip Wile said.

The 160-lap, 400-mile race, which features the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series in their second visit of the year to Daytona International Speedway, will provide one last opportunity for drivers to qualify for the NASCAR playoffs. Every competitor who has not previously secured a playoff spot can clinch with a victory in the Coke Zero Sugar 400. In addition, every finishing position could impact whether or not a driver will earn a coveted spot in the NASCAR playoffs.

“The Coke Zero Sugar 400 will continue to be one of the cornerstone events on the NASCAR schedule and will now serve as the final race of the regular season,” Wile said. “Daytona International Speedway strives to deliver the most exciting racing for our fans and this date change adds another layer of drama and excitement with a potential walk-off home run moment for a driver to solidify a playoff berth.”

The NASCAR Cup Series will once again open the 2020 season with the prestigious DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, Feb. 16.

The final Coke Zero Sugar 400 on Independence Day holiday weekend is scheduled for Saturday, July 6, 2019 along with the Coca-Cola Firecracker 250 on Friday, July 5.

Tickets for the 2019 Coke Zero Sugar 400 and all Daytona International Speedway events can be purchased online at www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP. Fans can stay connected with Daytona International Speedway on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube andSnapchat, and by downloading Daytona International Speedway’s mobile app, for the latest Speedway news.
