They did a great job with this one and I think it’ll really stand out on the track. I can’t wait to do some superspeedway racing at ‘Dega!”

    Carson Hocevar – Chevrolet Silverado 250 Race Advance

    Team: No. 42 Good Sam Chevrolet Silverado
    Driver: Carson Hocevar
    Follow the Team: @NieceMotorsport; @CarsonHocevar

    Hocevar on Racing Talladega: “I learned a lot at Daytona earlier this year that I think will really help me at Talladega this weekend,” said Hocevar. “Our Good Sam Chevrolet looks incredible – this whole organization is so appreciative of Marcus Lemonis’ support, and everyone at Good Sam. We have nothing to lose this weekend. We have two weeks to do everything we can to put ourselves in position to compete for a championship in Phoenix.”

    Hocevar at Talladega: Hocevar will make his first start at Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday. Hocevar, who was not yet 18-years-old last season, was unable to run the superspeedways, due to NASCAR rules.

    Earlier this season, in his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start on a superspeedway at Daytona International Speedway, Hocevar started 12th and finished fifth.

    In the Points: Hocevar had a strong run going at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but a loose wheel forced him to pit road under green flag conditions with just a handful of laps remaining. Without any time to battle back, Hocevar was left with a 22nd-place finish. Following the first race of the Round of Eight, Hocevar sits sixth in the playoff standings, 16 points out of fourth.

    On the Truck: The No. 42 Chevrolet will race with support from Good Sam this week at Talladega Superspeedway.

  • GMS Racing NCWTS Las Vegas Motor Speedway II Recap

    GMS Racing NCWTS Las Vegas Motor Speedway II Recap

    Sheldon Creed, No. 2 LiftKits4Less Chevrolet Silverado

    START: 9th
    FINISH: 36th
    POINTS: 5th

    • Sheldon Creed began the Round of 8 with high hopes of securing maximum points after riding a wave of momentum throughout a dominant opening of the Round of 10 in which he scored two wins.
    • Creed started ninth due to a disappointing finish at Bristol Motor Speedway, but gained a spot early on to finish eighth in Stage 1. As the race progressed, the No. 2 LiftKits4Less Silverado drove into the Top 5, gaining valuable stage points to finish 5th in Stage 2.
    • Disaster struck on lap 71 of 134, when Creed was involved in a multi-truck crash off turn two, ending his night early with a huge hit that led to a fire. Thankfully, Sheldon walked away from the crash uninjured, but the end result was a dismal 36th place finish. Not the way that the reigning NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion hoped to open up the Round of 8.

    #Back2Back: Sheldon Creed finds himself on the outside looking in as the series heads to Talladega Superspeedway, currently scored in fifth place, five points below the cutline. The No. 2 crew will have to rally back in the next two races in order to advance to the season finale in Phoenix.

    Quote: “Man, restarts were a lot of fun all night, I had a lot of fun on the restarts early but we got shuffled back when we didn’t pit there. I just wasn’t able to see the 18 truck through the wreck and destroyed both of our trucks. We didn’t have a great truck, but I thought we had a top 8 truck. Unfortunate, but it’ll make Talladega interesting and fun.”

    Zane Smith, No. 21 Allegiant Chevrolet Silverado

    START: 4th
    FINISH: 29th
    POINTS: 7th

    • After narrowly advancing into the Round of 8 via a clutch late race rally at Bristol Motor Speedway, Zane Smith began the Round of 8 in fourth place above the cutline after the points reset. Smith would start the Victoria’s Voice 200 from the fourth position, eyeing a good points night in Sin City.
    • The No. 21 Allegiant Chevrolet showed speed early on, contending for the lead and finishing sixth in Stage 1. Just as it appeared that Smith would turn his luck around and have a good finish, contact from another competitor early on in Stage 2 cut his left rear tire down, shredding debris down the back straightaway and ripping out battery terminal cables.
    • Smith’s crew feverishly went to work to repair the damage and replace the battery, but the No. 21 Silverado would lose many laps behind the wall, effectively knocking the team out of contention. Zane completed the race with a disappointing 29th place finish.

    #21in21: Zane Smith now finds himself below the cutline ahead of the next race at Talladega Superspeedway, 19 points out. Driver No. 21 has to climb out of a sizable hole in order to compete in the Championship 4 round, but make no mistake, the team is ready to overcome adversity once again.

    Quote: “Man, it would be nice if things could go our way in one of these races. My guys brought me a fast No. 21 Allegiant Silverado tonight, we fired off pretty loose but I thought that as the night went on that we were going to be in good shape. I did everything I could to hold onto it as my left rear tire got cut down, but we just lost too much time trying to fix it. Hopefully Talladega will be nicer to us next weekend.”

    Chase Purdy, No. 23 Bama Buggies Chevrolet Silverado

    START: 19th
    FINISH: 13th
    POINTS: 19th

    • Chase Purdy made his third career start at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Friday night, a track that hadn’t quite been to kind to the rookie in his previous starts, with a best finish of 23rd earlier this season in March.
    • Purdy started from the 19th position but had to overcome early adversity on a restart, finishing 22nd in Stage 1. The No. 23 driver gained some spots in Stage 2, where he finished 18th. As the race progressed, Purdy was able to avoid others’ misfortunes as he climbed the leaderboard.
    • The rookie continued to pass trucks late in the race and came home with a 13th place finish in Las Vegas, the top-finishing GMS Racing driver on the evening. The run was Purdy’s second-highest finish of the season.

    Quote: “Really crazy night. We got put behind early with nose damage on an early restart, but somehow survived the wrecks and fought hard. I’m proud of my No. 23 guys’ efforts and for never giving up. It’s not the finish we wanted but we will take it with all things considered that happened to us tonight.”

    Jack Wood, No. 24 Martin Auto Color Chevrolet Silverado

    START: 20th
    FINISH: 30th
    POINTS: 30th

    • Jack Wood had high hopes of welcoming new sponsor Martin Auto Color to the sport with a bang, as the 21-year-old rookie made his first start at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
    • Qualifying 20th, Jack would stay consistent throughout Stage 1, where he crossed the line in 20th as he continued to adapt to the track. Pit strategy towards the latter part of Stage 2 had the No. 24 Silverado running as high as fifth as the laps wound down, and Wood finished 13th.
    • Wood continued to gain track position through the final laps of the race, dodging large crashes and passing other trucks on merit. Unfortunately, with just over twenty laps to go, Jack was involved in a crash with another competitor, cutting down his right front tire and sustaining heavy right side damage. The No. 24 team tried to fix the damage, but ultimately he had to park with a disappointing 30th place finish.

    Quote: “Definitely not the way that I was looking to end my night here in Las Vegas. I felt that we were able to gain speed throughout the night, whether it was adjustments in the pits or myself as a driver. As we headed into the final stage, I thought that we were going to be in good shape, but unfortunately we got involved and weren’t able to finish. Onto Talladega next weekend.”

    Tyler Ankrum, No. 26 LiUNA! Chevrolet Silverado

    START: 16th
    FINISH: 34th
    POINTS: 15th

    • Tyler Ankrum raced his heart out at Darlington, starting deep in the field in 25th. As the No. 26 LiUNA! Chevrolet passed several trucks through the pack, it appeared as if Ankrum was going to have a good finish.
    • Early on, Ankrum found out pretty quickly why the track is labeled “Too Tough to Tame”, as he made contact with the wall in turn 3 and earned his first Darlington stripe. The damage was enough to hinder Ankrum’s Silverado in a significant way, as he was not able to recover. Stage 1 had the No. 26 positioned in 16th, but by Stage 2, he had dropped to 19th.
    • Officially, Ankrum was scored with an 18th place finish. Not the finish that he was looking for, but with all things considered, it could have been worse. The team will try to rebound in the series’ next outing at Bristol Motor Speedway.

    Quote: “I was racing the 22 truck there, and he faded high and I was going to try and grab his right rear quarter panel, but I got up in the marbles and lost it. I know Sheldon was involved in that wreck, so I want to apologize to him, he’s in the Playoffs and I’m not, so it sucks. We had a pretty fast truck, but will just have to go to the next race.”

  • DGR – NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race Recap: Las Vegas II

    DGR – NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race Recap: Las Vegas II

    Friday, September 24
    Track: Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 1.5-mile oval
    Race: 19 of 22
    Event: Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 (134 laps, 201 miles)

    Hailie Deegan, No. 1 Craftsman Ford F-150

    Start: 17th
    Finish: 31st

    • Early in Stage 1, Deegan reported her Craftsman truck could stand to be a little looser while running in the top-20. Throughout the stage, the California native continued to work her way forward. She finished the opening stage 14th and was looking for adjustments to loosen up her truck a little bit. Deegan pitted for service during the break but slid through her pit box which resulted in a lengthy pit stop.
    • Deegan started Stage 2 from the 27th position. She once again began working her way up through the field and into the top-20. Under caution on lap 52, the Ford driver pitted from 19th after relaying she needed her F-150 to be loosened up more. After the race returned to green, Deegan continued to advance her track position and completed the stage in 16th on lap 60.
    • After staying out during the stage break, Deegan moved up to start the stage from eighth. Early in the stage on lap 71, Deegan received damage from a multi-truck accident after a truck made contact with her No. 1 Ford as she was trying to avoid the melee. She came down pit road from the 14th position for repairs to her truck. She spent multiple laps on pit road for repairs and returned to the track. Deegan pitted several more times for repairs before taking the Craftsman Ford to the garage before the checkered flag flew due to the accident damage. She ended the event in the 31st position.

    Tanner Gray, No. 15 Ford Performance F-150

    Start: 29th
    Finish: 23rd

    • Gray was quick to work his way forward from his 29th starting spot. The Ford driver was 21st when the first caution came out on lap five. With 10 laps to go in Stage 1, Gray was up to 14th and ended it in 11th. Gray pitted during the break for four tires, fuel and adjustments to help his entry which was a little loose.
    • The Ford Performance driver started the second stage from the eighth position. Under caution on lap 52, Gray was in the ninth position and reported his truck needed to be freed up a little bit. He visited pit road and the race returned to green with just a few laps remaining in the stage. Gray managed a great restart and he concluded the stage in the sixth spot.
    • With a truck that felt pretty neutral, Gray did not pit during the stage break which allowed him to start the final stage in second. Throughout several early stage cautions, the young driver maintained a top-five position. Under caution on lap 117, Gray visited pit road for service and restarted 10th. Shortly after the green flag, Gray experienced a flat tire which forced him to make an unscheduled pit stop and put him two laps down. The Ford Performance driver finished 23rd in the event.

    Next event: Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama on October 2 at 1 p.m. ET.

  • Toyota Unveils the New Tundra TRD Pro for the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series

    Toyota Unveils the New Tundra TRD Pro for the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series

    LAS VEGAS (September 24, 2021) – Earlier this evening at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Toyota unveiled its new race truck for the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season. For the first time, Toyota will campaign the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro beginning at Daytona International Speedway in February.

    Toyota’s commitment to race vehicles that closely resemble production vehicles continues with this all-new Tundra TRD Pro. With the new body for 2022, Toyota is celebrating the launch of all new next generation Tundra models on showroom floors.

    Toyota continues as the only OEM that campaigns three different body styles across NASCAR’s top three series. With the Toyota Camry TRD Next Gen Cup Series car that was debuted in May, Toyota will campaign with two new bodies for the 2022 season. The Toyota Supra will continue to compete in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

    “The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series has always been extremely important to Toyota not only in our history, but our focus at our dealerships,” said Paul Doleshal, group manager of motorsports for Toyota Motor North America. “The launch of the new Tundra is a really exciting time for our entire organization so to be able to reflect that new styling in our NASCAR Tundra with the TRD Pro design is a reflection of the importance of the series to all of us and allows us to continue ensuring our on-track production resembles its production counterparts that can be found in our Toyota showrooms.”

    Toyota’s commitment to the Camping World Truck Series is approaching nearing two decades. Since debuting in 2004, Toyota has claimed eight drivers and 11 manufacturer’s championships. Earlier this season at Daytona International Speedway, Ben Rhodes drove the Tundra to victory lane for the 200th time. Toyota is on pace this season to earn a 12th manufacturer’s championship on the strength of 13 victories to date. Six of the 10 drivers that qualified for this season’s Truck Series Playoffs compete full-time in Tundras.

    “All of us at Kyle Busch Motorsports are proud to have carried the Toyota Tundra badging since we started this race team,” said Kyle Busch, team owner of Kyle Busch Motorsports. “Toyota and TRD are always working with us to ensure we’re as competitive as possible on the race track, but also ensuring that the body styling of our Tundras matches what fans can buy in their dealerships. The new Tundra is really aggressive looking and it’s great to see that reflected in our NASCAR Tundras with the TRD Pro badging for the 2022 season.”

    The 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro was unveiled to the public on September 19 and is scheduled to make its way to Toyota showrooms later this year. The 2022 NASCAR Toyota Tundra TRD Pro will debut at the Daytona International Speedway on Friday, February 18.

With their new name and expanding pipeline of new products, Rounded will continue to focus on the speed in which they can deliver online orders, hence the desire to announce the new brand with 2019 Talladega Truck Series Race Winner, Spencer Boyd.

    “I love the energy of this company,” remarked Boyd on working with the Rounded team. “They are an extremely hard-working group of very smart people that I am proud to represent. I’m honored they have chosen me and Young’s Motorsports to help launch this brand. Then to do it at Talladega is even more special. We’ll bring them a bullet of a truck to the track and we’ll get her unholstered coming to the checkered flag.”

    The Rounded logo will also appear as an associate sponsor this weekend at the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

    Ben Jimenez of Rounded had a chance to sit down recently with Boyd at the Young’s Motorsports race shop, “Spencer is certainly knowledgeable about racing but I didn’t realize how much he knew about firearms. It sounds like range days are a good stress relief for him in addition to his hunting trips and what he does with Veterans. We focus a lot on performance in our industry so it was great to talk about those similarities as well. The entire interview will be released at a later date where I asked him if he would model a pair of our yoga pants, so you’ll have check to that out to find out the answer.”

    Concealment Express first appeared at Kansas Speedway last year and has been on the No. 20 truck multiple times this year. The Rounded team and Spencer are also working on bringing a show truck to a Charlotte-area Academy Sports and Outdoors store in the coming months. In addition to their online store, Rounded products are sold at Academy stores nationwide as well as thousands of local sporting goods stores.

    The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Playoff Race at Talladega is on Saturday, October 2. Tune in to FS1 at 1:00pm ET or listen to the Motor Racing Network or Sirius XM Radio Channel 90.

It will be Dollar’s first career start in any series at the 1.5-mile tri-oval.

    • Dollar has recorded an average finish of 24.2 across the first five starts of his Camping World Truck Series career. His best result was a 10th-place finish in his series debut at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway in February.
    • In addition to his part-time schedule with KBM in the Truck Series, Dollar is competing in a limited schedule in the ARCA Menards Series this season with Venturini Motorsports. Despite competing in only 11 of the 18 races, the 20-year-old driver ranks sixth in the championship standings behind the strength of an average finish of 7.7 across his 11 starts this year.
    • The Toyota Racing Development driver finished fourth in the ARCA Menards Series championship standings in 2020 after recording one win, four top-five and 14 top-10 finishes across 20 starts. Dollar led 40 laps en route to his lone series victory at Talladega Superspeedway last June. He also finished inside the top 10 in both of his ARCA Menards Series starts in 2019, including a sixth-place finish in his series debut at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway.
    • The No. 51 team has won three times this season, including earlier this season on the Bristol Motor Speedway dirt track with Martin Truex Jr. KBM owner-driver Kyle Busch collected victories at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga., and Kansas Speedway in Kansas City. The team qualified for the owner’s portion of the playoffs by finishing the regular season ranked fifth in the point standings but were eliminated in the Round of 10.
    • Mardy Lindley is in his first season as a crew chief at KBM.

In his only race atop the pit box at Las Vegas, Lindley earned a runner-up finish with Kyle Busch earlier this season.

    Drew Dollar, Driver Q&A:

    How do you prepare going to a track for the first time?
    “A lot of the preparation for Vegas this weekend is coming from the Toyota simulator. I’ve been on that a good bit making a lot of laps and I’ve been watching races from there. It’ll definitely be different going to a new track, but I feel like it’s pretty similar to Kansas which is a track that I really like racing at in my Camry. I think we’ll be able to go to Vegas in the Tundra and have it be similar to Kansas and hopefully be good there.”

    How much will you look at the notes your team has from when Kyle (Busch) raced the 51 at Las Vegas earlier this year?
    “The KBM team always seem to bring super fast Tundras every time they go to Vegas. I feel like I always watch Tundras go to victory lane in Vegas, so it’ll be my job to do as well as I can, finish all the laps and keep the Tundra up front where it belongs.”

    Drew Dollar Career Highlights:

    • Has one top-10 finish and an average result of 24.2 across five career Camping World Truck Series starts.
