  • Ray Evernham named Grand Marshal for Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway

    (Photo Credit: Twitter.com/TooToughToTame) Press Release | DARLINGTON RACEWAY DARLINGTON, S.C. (MAY 7, 2024) – Darlington Raceway announced today that NASCAR Hall of Famer, former team owner and crew chief Ray Evernham will serve as the Grand Marshal on Sunday for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. The NASCAR legend will deliver the starting command for one of the most thrilling NASCAR Cup Series races of the season, which culminates The Official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR at the Track Too Tough to Tame. “There are few NASCAR crew chiefs as decorated and committed to improving the sport of stock car racing as Ray Evernham,” said Josh Harris, President of Darlington Raceway. “It’s a pleasure to highlight Evernham’s impact by naming him as Grand Marshal during NASCAR’s Official Throwback Weekend.” Less than a decade into his illustrious career, Ray Everham’s name was cemented in the history books. As crew chief, Evernham led Jeff Gordon and the No. 24 team to three Cup Series Championship titles, four Cook Out Southern 500 victories at Darlington Raceway, two DAYTONA 500 triumphs and a series-leading 49 wins in the 1990s. His innovation on pit road earned his No. 24 pit crew the nickname “Rainbow Warriors.” Evernham recognized the special abilities of his pit crew and capitalized on their strengths, incorporating regular physical conditioning, speed and coordination drills and film review sessions into their training. In 2001, Evernham became a team owner, spearheading the return of Dodge to NASCAR with Evernham Motorsports. His Cup Series drivers won 13 times under his leadership, including Bill Elliott’s victory in the 2002 Brickyard 400. At Darlington, Evernham’s teams garnered four top-five finishes and three poles. Evernham, a New Jersey native, found success as a modified driver in the northeast during the 1970s and 1980s. Evernham raced against the stars of the Northeast modified circuit, including Jerry Cook and Richie Evans, both NASCAR Hall of Famers. He competed regularly at Wall Stadium Speedway, a 1/4-mile high-banked paved oval track in Wall Township, N.J. The Official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR will Celebrate Our Roots with many competitors paying homage to their grassroots origins, beginning with the Buckle Up South Carolina 200 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, followed by the NASCAR Xfinity Series Crown Royal Purple Bag Project 200 at 1:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Then, the weekend will culminate with the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series taking on the Track Too Tough to Tame in the Goodyear 400 at 3 p.m. Sunday. NASCAR fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets via phone at 866-459-7223 or online at darlingtonraceway.com while supplies last.

  • Layne Riggs Honors Father in Infinity Communications Darlington Throwback Scheme

    Press Release | FRONT ROW MOTORSPORTS MOORESVILLE, N.C. (May 7, 2024) - Layne Riggs will honor his family’s rich racing heritage at the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway with his throwback paint scheme. The No. 38 Infinity Communications Group Ford F-150 will pay homage to Riggs’ father, Scott, who raced the featured scheme during the 2000 season for Impact Motorsports. In his limited schedule that year, Scott Riggs had seven top-10s in 15 starts, including a 5th-place finish at Richmond (V.A.) Raceway. "It's really cool to go [to Darlington] and pay homage to my dad," Riggs said. "I've raced some of his schemes in the past, but this one is really cool because it was his first full time opportunity at the national level, and this is my first full time opportunity at the national level." "Darlington is a pretty gnarly track from what I've seen, I'm excited to get on it. It's going to be a tough race, but it brings me back to my roots in tire management and old school racing." In addition to the scheme, Riggs will be carrying the Orange County Speedway track logo on the name rail, his hometown track. "It's surreal to me to be watching Layne in the truck series at the same tracks I've raced in this scheme," Scott Riggs said. "The paint scheme is older than Layne. It means a lot to have Infinity Communications Group support this scheme and let me relive those memories while also supporting my son." Riggs will race Friday night at the Darlington Raceway with track activity starting with practice and qualifying at 3:00 pm ET. The 147-lap event will take place that evening at 7:30 pm ET.

  • Top Ten Tweets Of The Week

    Each week here on Racing Refresh we like to take a look back to the week that was in motorsports through the eyes of X. Let's get started! 10. They even got the font?!?!? Big league. 9. Mark Martin the hip-hop aficionado! Who would have thought? I think he should rank Eminem higher though. 8. Given how well this car is performing at mile-and-a-half tracks I think there's no question we should go back to Chicagoland. What say you? 7. I feel like this could a huge conflict of interests if this were to happen. I have my doubts that this comes to pass. However, the charter debate gets more interesting by the week. 6. NASCAR is a great period of transition. But, we may see the biggest transition ever if they go Hybrid in a few years. Personally, I think it's only a matter of time. 5. Look, we don't typically toot our own horn here but, toot toot. 4. Is this true? It may be soon to give it those type of declarations. 3. New winners are special to see no matter what motorsport we're watching. 2. Bob breaks it down as only he can. It's shaping up to be quite the silly season. 1. The agony of defeat.

  • 30 Second Read: 2024 AdventHealth 400

    By Matt Marr Polesitter Christopher Bell led Ross Chastain and the rest of the field to the green flag. Derek Kraus, driving in the 16 for Kaulig Racing, led at lap 40 during a round of green flag pit stops.  Meanwhile, Kyle Larson narrowly passed Chastain for position. Denny Hamlin won Stage One keeping Chastain at bay. Larson made a three wide pass on lap 89 to take the lead as Chris Buescher made it five-wide to take the second position. Chris Buescher won Stage Two over Larson. Buescher unfortunately had to restart at the tail end of the longest line as his pit crew was over the wall too soon during stage break pit stops. The first caution (other than stage breaks) came out for a multi-car incident involving Corey LaJoie, Austin Hill and Jimmie Johnson. The second caution came out for a wreck involving Austin Cindric, Bubba Wallace and Michael McDowell. Buescher and Hamlin swapped the lead for several laps but the caution came out for Kyle Busch spinning with 7 laps to go. Buescher led the restart and took the white flag, but coming off of turn four Larson and Buescher bang off each other.  It was a historic photo finish Larson wins the Advent Health 400! Officially Larson won by 0.001 seconds, the closest finish in NASCAR history. Advent Health 400 top 5: 1. Kyle Larson 2. Chris Buescher 3. Chase Elliott 4. Martin Truex Jr. 5. Denny Hamlin

  • Week 12 - StatChat Power Rankings

    By Adam Carabine By this point of the season, we now have enough data to get a more accurate sense of how the drivers are doing statistically this year. Enter the StatChat Power Rankings! We've ranked all 34 full-time drivers in the Cup Series (there are 36 charters, but the Rick Ware 15 and Kaulig 16 have rotating drivers, so they're excluded). Rankings are determined using a large number of statistical inputs. Zane Smith – This week: 34th – Last week: (--) He has the worst average finish in the Cup Series, 0 Top 10s, and 2 DNFs through 11 races – it’s been an abysmal rookie campaign for Zane Smith in the 71. Harrison Burton – This week: 33rd – Last week: (--) Burton has shown flashes of promise, including a Top 10 at both Phoenix and Talladega, but if he doesn’t start performing more consistently he may be out of a job at Wood Bros. Michael McDowell – This week: 32nd – Last week: (--) McDowell stands alone with 4 DNFs in this young season, the most of any Cup Series driver. He’s had cars capable of competing for wins, including poles at both Atlanta and Talladega this year, but it hasn’t translated to results.  Don’t sleep on him just yet. Austin Dillon – This week: 31st – Last week: (--) It’s been a rough season for the #3 camp.  Already Dillon has had a crew chief fired and replaced.  He’s currently having his worst career season by average finish, and his one Top 10 on the year came at Texas last week. Justin Haley – This week: 30th – Last week: (--) A step backward was maybe to be expected for Haley when he moved from Kaulig to Rick Ware Racing this year.  There was hope that he’d elevate the program at the #51, but so far he’s only finished on the lead lap 4 times.  Growing pains. Corey LaJoie – This week: 29th – Last week: (--) He can be a threat at drafting tracks (see P4 at Daytona this year), but with 4 other finishes outside of the Top 30 this year alone, it might be time to focus on the other disciplines on the NASCAR schedule. Austin Cindric – This week: 28th – Last week: (--) Talladega wasn’t a terrible race for Cindric.  He qualified on the front row, scored the most stage points on the day, but ultimately finished 23rd.  He followed it up with a quiet P15 at Dover, so things could be turning around, but that career-worst average finish needs to be addressed. Soon. Carson Hocevar – This week: 27th – Last week: (--) Hocevar may currently be winning the battle for Rookie of the Year, but the results aren’t consistent.  Finishing 40th at your first ever Daytona 500?  Not ideal.  However, he has also had two separate stretches of 3 Top 20s in a row.  For the equipment he’s in, that might be a win. Todd Gilliland – This week: 26th – Last week: (--) After a few really impressive weeks, Gilliland has come back down to earth a bit.  The results haven’t always been there as far as finishes, but he’s already led 91 laps this season, and he’s showing he deserves a shot in the #38. Josh Berry – This week: 25th – Last week: (--) Perhaps seen as the no-brainer pick to win Rookie of the Year this year, Berry has struggled adapting to a full-time Cup schedule. Both Ford and SHR’s struggles might be having an impact here too.  Berry is still looking for his first Top 10 of 2024. Erik Jones – This week: 24th – Last week (--) Injury notwithstanding, Erik Jones has had both moments of greatness, and moments to forget this season.  It’s the first year that Legacy Motor Club is within the Toyota camp, so there’s bound to be a feeling out process.  The bad news is that he hasn’t led a single lap yet this year.  The good news? Jones will return from injury at Darlington – his best track. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. – This week: 23rd – Last week (--) It’s been a weird up and down year for Stenhouse in the 47.  He’s got a P6 at Atlanta, and a P4 at Talladega, but he’s also got four finishes outside of the Top 30.  He’s on a small, underfunded team, so you do have to manage expectations here.  JTG-Daugherty just re-upped him for a few more years, though. John Hunter Nemechek – This week: 22nd – Last week (--) It’s weird to think that this isn’t John Hunter’s rookie season.  He has (deservedly so) made his way back to the Cup Series after a demotion following his 2020 rookie campaign.  Again, he’s on a Legacy Motor Club team that’s hoping they’re on the upswing, so results haven’t come yet, but he’s showing that a little extra time cooking down in the lower series might have been a good idea. Daniel Hemric – This week: 21st – Last week (--) A few weeks ago, Hemric would have probably been a little lower in the Power Rankings, but he’s put together a solid few weeks.  Back to back P9 finishes at Talladega and Dover (two very different tracks, mind you), plus he has 0 DNFs this year.  Kaulig has taken a bit of a step back this year in the Cup Series, but he’s pretty much matching what Haley did in that seat a year ago. Ryan Preece– This week: 20th – Last week (--) Ryan Preece had some bad luck last week at Dover, where human error within the shop had his #41 catching fire (not in a good way) and finishing last.  Despite that, he’s still having the best Cup Series season of his career (by average finish), and he’s finding some footing at SHR. Noah Gragson – This week: 19th – Last week (--) Noah Gragson started out a little inconsistent in his return to the Cup Series after a suspension cancelled out the back half of his rookie season last year.  However lately he has been putting together some solid runs, and has a P3 and P6 in his last two starts.  If he can keep that up consistently, he’ll move up the Power Rankings quickly. Bubba Wallace – This week: 18th – Last week (--) If you took away the last two races, Bubba might have been higher in these Rankings, but he’s had a rough couple of weeks.  Two DNFs in a row, and finishes outside of the Top 30.  He’s shown some promise, and he’s two points out of a playoff spot currently, but he’s at the point in his career where he needs to start consistently challenging for wins. Chris Buescher – This week: 17th – Last week (--) The big question on everyone’s mind (including probably Chris Buescher’s) is whether last year’s success was a flash in the pan.  Buescher has looked decent at times this year, including a runner-up finish at Phoenix.  But because of last year’s success it feels like a down year.  He’s still winless on the season, and it’s going to be tough to match last year’s three trips to victory lane. Christopher Bell – This week: 16th – Last week (--) Christopher Bell can’t seem to string any momentum together this season.  He’s the lowest ranked winner on our list.  His win at Phoenix was important, especially since the Championship Race returns there in the fall.  But he and his team are going to need to weed out a bunch of mistakes to even make it there. Daniel Suarez – This week: 15th – Last week (--) Suarez earned the second win of his career by just a hair back in Atlanta, kicking off a great start to the 2024 campaign.  Since then he has been a little less consistent, but his pressure to make it to the playoffs has already been erased.  Did they take their foot off the gas to prep for the playoffs? Chase Briscoe – This week: 14th – Last week (--) It’s hard to believe that this is Briscoe’s 4th year as a Cup Series regular.  SHR was expecting to take a step back after the retirement of two veterans in Kevin Harvick and Aric Almirola, but now suddenly Briscoe is their veteran presence on the team.  He’s been the best performer for them, and is having a career year, but he could use a win. Alex Bowman – This week: 13th – Last week (--) It’s got to be tough to be Alex Bowman.  He’s on a premiere team, and actually getting decent results, but his teammates are all far outpacing him, making him look bad.  Bowman has 0 of HMS’ 5 wins this year, yet quietly he’s putting together his best ever year by average finish.  He’s got more Top 10s than teammates Larson and Elliott – in fact, only two drivers (Byron and Reddick) have more than he does. Joey Logano – This week: 12th – Last week (--) It’s been an up and down year for Logano so far.  He started the season off with two poles in the first three races (though the first one might’ve had help from an illegal webbed glove), but it’s been feast or famine since then.  He’s a two-time champion who is tied in average finish for 16th with Noah Gragson.  I’d still bank on him to make the playoffs though. Kyle Busch – This week: 11th – Last week (--) The talk around Kyle Busch this year has been oddly quiet.  He’s actually putting together a decent enough year, statistically.  Sure, he doesn’t have a win yet, but he’s got 4 Top 10s and 2 Top 5s.  He was plagued with some mechanical issues early on this season, but hopefully a P4 at Dover last week is something to build on. Brad Keselowski – This week: 10th – Last week (--) Rounding out the Top 10, Keselowski has been on the precipice so many times this year.  His year got off to a rocky start with two P33s in a row.  And while his average finish is actually worse than Kyle Busch’s, he’s got twice as many Top 5s through just 11 races.  Keselowski is going to break his winless streak this year.  And soon. Ross Chastain – This week: 9th – Last week (--) Another weirdly quiet driver this year is Ross Chastain.  He’s in the Top 10 in points, he’s having a career-best season by average finish, and he’s also managed to stay out of the spotlight.  That might be a good thing, because a lot of Chastain’s press comes from on-track incidents.  He’s still winless this year but he should be a lock for the playoffs. Ty Gibbs – This week: 8th – Last week (--) Ty Gibbs certainly has the advantage of great equipment over other young drivers, but he’s also making the most of it.  His average finish this year is 3rd best in the Cup Series.  He’s run literally every single lap except for TWO this season.  Gibbs will get his first Cup Series win this season, you can take that to the bank. Ryan Blaney – This week: 7th – Last week (--) The defending champ is still winless this year, but he’s still piling up the points.  In 6 separate races this season, Blaney has scored 32 or more points.  Sure, he’ll want to start winning again soon if he wants to win another championship this year, but I wouldn’t worry just yet.  His average finish this year is better than last year’s championship winning season. Tyler Reddick – This week: 6th – Last week (--) Reddick’s win at Talladega might have been a result of being in the right place at the right time – that was McDowell’s race to lose – but he has run pretty well all season long.  He’s led 124 laps (7th in the Cup Series), and he has 7 Top 10s (with nearly an 8th when he finished P11 this past weekend at Dover).  Reddick’s looking to the playoffs already. Chase Elliott – This week: 5th – Last week (--) He got the monkey off his back, now what’s he going to do with it? What’s more impressive than Chase’s win this season is just how consistent he’s been.  His worst finish is still within the Top 20 (P19 at Phoenix), and when you’re able to keep that consistency up, good things happen.  This is his best season by average finish. William Byron – This week: 4th – Last week (--) It’s hard to believe that someone with 3 wins already is not in the number one spot, but there have been a few blemishes to Byron’s season as well.  It might be a case of him setting the bar too high last season when he scored 6 wins, but is it weird to feel like he might be underperforming?  He’s got two finishes outside of the Top 30 too, so he’s not been without his faults, but look for him to make another deep run in the playoffs this year. Denny Hamlin – This week: 3rd – Last week (--) The only other 3-time winner this season, the villainous Denny Hamlin has been finding ways to stack up points as well.  He’s 3rd in overall stage points earned this season, but his average finish could still use a little work, as it was better last season.  The question will always be whether Denny ever wins a championship.  There’s no way to predict it, but there’s no doubt he’s in the conversation again this year. Martin Truex Jr. – This week: 2nd – Last week (--) Martin Truex Jr. has been snake-bitten this year when it comes to wins.  He’s had great runs, but has yet to see the checkered flag.  What might be scary for other drivers is that Martin is on track to score 179 more points than he did last year, a year where he won the regular season points race.  Whether he wins or not, he’ll make the playoffs this year, in what could be his last push for a second championship. Kyle Larson – This week: 1st – Last week (--) Larson has only won once this year, so you might find it odd that he’s at the top of the Power Rankings.  But Larson has dominated many other stat categories too, it was too hard not to put him there.  He’s led the most laps of anyone (570), he’s the only driver above 400 points in the standings (410), and perhaps most impressively, he has an insane amount of stage points (126).  126 stage points is essentially like winning 3 extra races.  He’s won 6 stages already.  Look for Larson to continue his reputation as a perennial championship favourite.

  • Connor Mosack, Porter Pipe & Supply Join JR Motorsports in 2024

    Press Release | JR MOTORSPORTS MOORESVILLE, N.C. (May 2, 2024) – JR Motorsports announced today that Connor Mosack and primary partner Porter Pipe & Supply will join the team’s illustrious No. 88 driver lineup this season. Mosack will make his first appearance for JRM at the Chicago Street Race (July 6) and return to action again at the Charlotte Roval (Oct. 12). Porter Pipe & Supply, a third-generation, family-owned and operated wholesale supplier of commercial and industrial pipe, valves, fittings, plumbing supplies, HVAC and refrigeration equipment and mechanical products, will serve as the primary partner for the No. 88 Chevrolet at the Chicago Street Race, a home event for the Addison, Ill. company. “It’s great to be back with Porter Pipe & Supply and JRM for the Chicago Street Race,” Mosack said. “I ran last year’s inaugural Xfinity Series race in Chicago with Porter Pipe & Supply and they had a ton of people out at the race. They were all pumped. Unfortunately, weather kind of put a damper on things and cut the race short. We’re definitely looking forward to getting back to Chicago. We’ve got some unfinished business there.” Today’s announcement marks a return for Mosack to JRM, as the young driver previously competed for the organization in 2020 in the zMAX Cars Tour. Mosack also becomes the 10th driver to make at least one start in both the CARS Tour and the NXS for JRM. Mosack started driving at the age of 18 and collected multiple wins and championships. He was the Asphalt Nationals Semi-Pro Champion at the Bullring in Las Vegas and the Cook Out Winter Heat Pro Champion at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In 2020, Mosack finished sixth in the driver point standings and was named the Rookie of the Year while driving for JRM in the CARS Tour. The Charlotte native’s racing resume features experience in the NXS, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and ARCA Menards Series, where the driver collected his first victory last season at Kansas Speedway in September. Mosack is no stranger to street courses. In addition to competing in last year’s Chicago Street Race, the 25-year-old racer has made two starts in the TA2 division of the Trans Am Series at the Music City Grand Prix in downtown Nashville. He started second and led nine laps before finishing third in the inaugural event in 2021. In his return to Nashville in 2022, Mosack qualified fourth and grabbed the lead on the opening lap. He proceeded to lead the 39-car field for 26 laps before finishing second.
