Press Release | HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS Hendrick Motorsports has signed dirt racing star Corey Day to a multi-year driver agreement and will support his efforts across a variety of pavement series throughout 2025. “When Kyle Larson and Jeff Gordon say someone is the real deal, it certainly gets your attention,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. “Corey comes from a great racing family and in a short time has shown a level of talent that sets him apart. What he’s already accomplished at this point in his career speaks volumes, and it’s been impressive to see how quickly he’s adapted to pavement. We’re excited to welcome him to our team.” Day signed with Hendrick Motorsports on Dec. 6, one week after his 19th birthday. With sponsorship from HendrickCars.com, he will race nearly 30 pavement events in 2025 with Hendrick Motorsports and its affiliate teams, including appearances in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, ARCA Series and Trans Am Series. Details will be announced soon. “This is a dream scenario,” Day said. “I’m grateful to Mr. Hendrick and everyone at Hendrick Motorsports and Hendrick Automotive Group for providing a platform to grow and compete at this level. There’s still a lot to learn on pavement, but having such incredible support gives me a ton of confidence. I’m ready to work hard and take in as much as I can. It’s going to be a fun year.” A native of Clovis, California, Day is a second-generation dirt racing star. After being named the 2022 Chili Bowl Rookie of the Year, he followed in the footsteps of his father, Ronnie Day, to earn the 2023 King of the West 410 NARC championship. That year, he also won the prestigious World of Outlaws Gold Cup Race of Champions. In 2024, Day raced fulltime in the High Limit Series and competed in select World of Outlaws events, collecting 10 wins, 25 top-five finishes and 44 top-10s in 73 starts on dirt. He earned his first victory at the famed Knoxville Raceway and became one of the youngest drivers in WoO history to record wins in multiple series. Day rounded out 2024 by winning the 83rd running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix, the third-oldest automobile race in the United States, to become its youngest-ever winner. Last season, Day made his pavement debut, winning at Hickory Motor Speedway in just his second late model feature start.

Press Release | ROCKINGHAM SPEEDWAY Black’s Tire, the family go-to tire destination, will serve as the entitlement partner for the April 18 Black’s Tire 200 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race when NASCAR racing returns to historic Rockingham Speedway Easter Weekend. The announcement carries forward Black’s Tire’s longstanding tradition of being involved with and supporting the foremost form of American automobile racing. Black’s Tire was founded as Black’s Service Station by W. Crowell Black in Whiteville, N.C., in 1929 and celebrated its 95th anniversary in 2024. With more than 70 locations in North and South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia, Black’s remains a local, family owned- and -operated tire retailer and wholesaler. “We are extremely excited to partner with Track Enterprises when NASCAR returns to Rockingham Speedway,” said Ricky Benton Sr., Owner and Chairman, Black’s Tire Service. “In 2024, Black’s Tire celebrated its 95th anniversary and we can’t think of a better way to continue the festivities than supporting this historic weekend with the Black’s Tire 200 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race.” Rockingham Speedway, formerly named North Carolina Motor Speedway, was a staple on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule for nearly 40 years and included a veritable who’s who of stock-car racing royalty on its list of previous winners. “We’re thrilled to welcome Black’s Tire as the entitlement partner for the Black’s Tire 200,” said Bob Sargent, President, Track Enterprises. “Black’s Tire is woven into the fabric of North and South Carolina so this is a natural fit. The Benton family has supported racing in the Carolinas at multiple levels for many years so we couldn’t be more proud to carry that tradition forward when the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series returns to Rockingham Easter Weekend.” The CRAFTSMAN Truck Series raced at Rockingham twice from 2012-2013 with Kasey Kahne and Kyle Larson collecting the victories for late team owner Steve Turner and Turner Motorsports. Matt Crafton, a 25-year CRAFTSMAN Truck Series veteran, is the only current series regular to have competed at the high-banked, D-shaped oval when the division last raced there 12 years ago. Separate from Larson, current NASCAR Cup Series competitors Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Erik Jones, Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace were all part of the field when the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series last tested its mettle at Rockingham over a decade ago. “On behalf of the over 1,100 team members at Black’s Tire and BTS Tire & Wheel Distributors, we are honored to team up with Track Enterprises and Rockingham Speedway to bring NASCAR racing back to this historic track, said Rick Benton II, president Black’s Tire. “Black’s Tire is excited to be the title sponsor of the Black’s Tire 200. Our BTS family along with our BTS Partner Dealers across the Carolinas will be at the Rock in full force.” The Black’s Tire 200 from Rockingham Speedway will be televised live on FS1 Friday, April 18 beginning at 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight time. The seventh of 25 races on the 2025 CRAFTSMAN Truck Series schedule will broadcast live on the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90. (Photo Courtesy NASCAR)

Press Release | HAAS FACTORY TEAM Haas Factory Team (HFT) has announced its organizational lineup for the 2025 season, with a bevy of personnel changes across its NASCAR Xfinity and NASCAR Cup teams. Jason Trinchere, a veteran in the Xfinity and Truck ranks, joins the team as crew chief for Sam Mayer and the No. 41 program. Jonathon Toney, who’s led Cole Custer and the No. 00 the last several seasons – remains atop the box for the No. 00 team, now paired with new HFT driver Sheldon Creed. The team also welcomes two new competition directors, Nick Sandler taking the reigns in the Cup program, while Adam Gravitt will lead competition operations on the Xfinity side. Trinchere joins HFT after spending a season in the Truck Series with Chase Purdy and the No. 77 Spire Motorsports team. He has also worked in the Xfinity Series, spending four seasons with Kaulig Racing, where he collected five wins with AJ Allmendinger. With prior experience with Landon Cassill and Daniel Hemric, as well, the season-opener at Daytona will mark Trinchere’s 100th start as a crew chief in Xfinity. Toney – who led Custer to the 2023 Xfinity Series Championship – remains with the organization after beginning at HaasCNC Racing over 20 years ago. In his time with Custer, Toney has five victories and 42 top-10s in less than 75 races as a crew chief. Sandler, a former crew chief himself, joins HFT from Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing, where he began back in 2006. During his time underneath Jack Roush, Sandler worked his way through the ranks, initially as a race engineer in the Cup Series, before being elevated to crew chief for Stenhouse and the No. 17 team in 2015-16. Since, he’s led all efforts of the engineering department, and will be reunited with Aaron Kramer, also formerly at RFK, who was tabbed to lead Cole Custer’s Cup team in 2025. Gravitt, who has been with Haas in some capacity since 2004, followed a similar path, working his way through the engineering ranks within the organization. The Virginia native served on the No. 14 road crew from 2009-12, before transitioning back to a shop role in the years following. Since, he’s managed all engineering efforts for the Xfinity program the last two seasons. (Photo Courtesy NASCAR)

Press Release | SPIRE MOTORSPORTS Spire Motorsports will field HendrickCars.com Chevrolets in select NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series races in 2025 for open-wheel standout and Hendrick Motorsports driver Corey Day. Day, 19, will compete in four ARCA Menards Series races behind the wheel of the No. 77 Chevrolet beginning with the Feb. 15 Daytona ARCA 200 at Daytona International Speedway. In preparation for the event, Day will participate in the Jan. 9-10 ARCA Series test at the “World Center of Racing.” In addition to the four-race ARCA slate, Day will compete in eight CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races behind the wheel of the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado. HendrickCars.com will serve as Day’s primary sponsor in all 12 events. Veteran crew chief Mark McFarland will lead Day’s ARCA effort while Brian Pattie will continue to lead the No. 7 Silverado. “When racing on dirt, you see the small, quarter-mile bullrings and the big, fast half-mile tracks,” explained Day. “Either way, the racing doesn’t change all that much. But on the pavement, you will run on everything from aggressive short tracks, to technical road courses and the beasts that are superspeedways. No matter the racetrack, there are several things I need to learn in these pavement cars to eventually gain that versatility. I’m excited to get down to Daytona, run some laps and build a notebook of knowledge about drafting tracks.” Following the ARCA season-opener, Day is scheduled to return to the cockpit of the No. 77 Chevy at Phoenix Raceway (March 7), Sonoma Raceway (July 11) and Kansas Speedway (Sept. 26). His eight-race CRAFTSMAN Truck Series schedule will include: Las Vegas Motor Speedway – March 14 Homestead-Miami Speedway – March 21 Martinsville Speedway – March 28 Bristol Motor Speedway – April 11 Rockingham Speedway – April 18 Nashville Superspeedway – May 30 Indianapolis Raceway Park – July 25 Darlington Raceway – August 30 Day began his career racing motorcycles and turned in two wheels for four at 10-years-old. He collected a host of micro-sprint victories from 2016 – 2020, including a win at the prestigious Tulsa Shootout in 2018. That same year, he was named King of California and scored back-to-back track championships at Plaza Park Raceway (2018-2019). By 2020, Day progressed to the 410 sprint car ranks and quickly raced his way to the Winner’s Circle. A year later, he further diversified and bolstered his resume by becoming the youngest winner on the USAC National Midget Tour. Two years later, Day dotted his schedule with 58 races, focusing mainly on midgets and sprint cars. The 2022 campaign saw Day collect 10 wins, 27 top fives, 35 top 10s and rookie of the year honors at the Chili Bowl – an iconic midget race in Tulsa, Okla. “Corey has the raw speed that very few drivers have,” said Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson. “What he’s done, at his age, in a sprint car is very impressive and it doesn’t take a critical eye to see that he has the tools to have an amazing career in NASCAR. Stock cars are a different animal than sprint cars but having Jeff (Gordon) and Kyle (Larson) in his ears is a big advantage. We’ll put Corey in good equipment with a very talented team behind him and do our part to contribute to his success. Everyone at Spire Motorsports is looking forward to seeing him on the track at Daytona and in all the events he has planned this year.” Day continued to turn heads in 2023, earning 13 victories and following in his father’s footsteps to become a King of the West Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) 410 champion. He also picked up his first World of Outlaws win at the Gold Cup Race of Champions. Last season, he raced full time in the High Limit Sprint Car Series while competing in select World of Outlaws events. He collected 10 wins, 25 top-five and 44 top-10 finishes in 73 starts on dirt, including his first victory at the famed Knoxville Raceway. He closed out his 2024 exploits with a win in a USAC Midget, to become the youngest winner in Turkey Night Grand Prix history. The 2024 schedule also saw him transition to the pavement ranks where he scored a win in his late model stock car debut in the second of twin 40-lap features at Hickory Motor Speedway. Day continued to climb the ladder last season with four starts a piece in both the ARCA Menards and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. “Those races will help me immensely,” said Day. “I think having any time on pavement helps me understand the feel of the car and even just how the shows run. When I was preparing for my first ARCA race last year, I had no feel for what to expect when I hit the race track. Now I have an idea of what to expect, but there will obviously be some growing pains to feel out. I have the baseline, I just need to continue to shape and refine my craft to continue to improve. I never thought my career would end up here. I only started racing sprint cars three years ago, so it is crazy how fast my career has progressed just in that time. I’m super grateful for all the people along the way that believed in me and my abilities to get me to this point.” (Photo Courtesy NASCAR)

I know every time I climb in their Chevrolets, we will have a chance to win.” Chastain is a five-time winner in the NASCAR Cup Series and finished second in points in 2022.

He won the 2023 Chicago Street Race in his Cup Series debut. “I’m trying to get as much experience as I can,” said the three-time Supercars champion who moved to America and began fulltime racing in NASCAR last year. “JR Motorsports is one of the top teams and won the championship with Justin Allgaier. I can’t wait to get started.” (Photo Courtesy NASCAR)

Press Release | BEARD MOTORSPORTS Beard Motorsports announced today that it plans to qualify for the 2025 Daytona 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Driver Anthony Alfredo will be back behind the wheel of the Beard Motorsports Chevrolet, which will be dressed in the colors of Fortify Building Solutions. Started by the late Mark Beard Sr., Beard Motorsports is owned and operated by the Beard family with Linda Beard at the helm, and her children, Amie Beard-Deja and Mark Beard Jr., overseeing the daily operations. The 2025 season is Beard Motorsports’ ninth participating in select events that make up the NASCAR Cup Series schedule, and the season-opening Daytona 500 will mark the team’s seventh start in the “Great American Race” since making its debut in that event in 2017. “It’s an honor to be talking about our ninth season competing in the NASCAR Cup Series,” said Beard-Deja, executive vice president of Beard Motorsports. “This obviously started as a passion project for my dad and has become a labor of love for our family. We put in a lot of hard work and that is evident by the product we bring to the track every time we show up. It’s a credit to the team of people that we have assembled to prepare our racecars, and it all starts with our crew chief Darren Shaw, who has been busy preparing the car for the 2025 Daytona 500. “We are thrilled to have Anthony Alfredo back behind the wheel of the No. 62 Chevrolet and are very honored to continue the relationship we have started with Fortify Building Solutions. To have that brand continue its support of Beard Motorsports means a lot.” Fortify Building Solutions, part of Cornerstone Building Brands, offers North America’s most extensive selection of high-quality metal roofing, wall panels and metal building solutions to local builders, contractors and homeowners through retail storefronts across the country. The brand’s more than 20 branch locations supply professionals and homeowners with hometown service and support, backed by a nationwide manufacturing and distribution network. The company partnered with Beard Motorsports during the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, sponsoring the No. 62 entry in the Oct. 6 YellaWood 500 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. “We are thrilled to continue this partnership with the Beard family and Anthony Alfredo,” said Rayome Soupiset, general manager of retail direct at Cornerstone Building Brands. “Fortify Building Solutions is about serving our communities at the local level and positively contributing to the communities we operate in. As we expand our footprint in Florida and across the Southeast, we’re excited to be a part of the 2025 Daytona 500 and share in the excitement of NASCAR with our customers and employees. We believe the NASCAR platform is an excellent way to amplify the Fortify Building Solutions brand, but more importantly, that this partnership with the Beard family and Anthony represents a shared commitment to local community, perseverance and excellence.” Since making his NASCAR debut in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2019, Alfredo has been busy making a name for himself in the NASCAR garage. The native of Ridgefield, Connecticut, has competed in all three of NASCAR’s top touring series and has been a regular in the NASCAR Xfinity Series the last three seasons. Alfredo raced the Beard Motorsports entry in three Cup Series races in 2024, earning a career-best finish of sixth in the April 21 GEICO 500 at Talladega. “The NASCAR Cup Series is the goal for every driver that goes the NASCAR route,” Alfredo said. “The Beards gave me this chance to race for them last year and I couldn’t be happier to be back competing with them again in 2025. They are such a great family and the team does a great job bringing fast cars to the track. We learned a lot together in 2024 and I think it will be a difference-maker for us going into this season. “And to further this relationship with Fortify Building Solutions is an amazing opportunity. It’s a relationship that means a lot to me, given my family’s background in the metal building construction industry. As the brand expands nationally through local storefronts, it’s providing faster service to the communities they serve without losing the personal touch. I think we have a great opportunity to do some amazing things to promote the speed and service their customers can expect.” More information regarding Beard Motorsports’ plans for the 2025 NASCAR season will be announced at a later date.
