  • New Paint Scheme for Alabama Roofing Professionals and Spencer Boyd at Talladega

    New Paint Scheme for Alabama Roofing Professionals and Spencer Boyd at Talladega

    Concord, NC (August 16, 2022) – Today the top roofing company in Alabama, Alabama Roofing Professionals, was announced as the primary sponsor for Spencer Boyd’s No. 12 Chevrolet Silverado at Talladega Superspeedway for the third time. The paint scheme that visited victory lane in 2019 has been redesigned and will be easy to spot in the pack of NASCAR Camping World Trucks drafting around the iconic Super Speedway.

    “This one is for Alabama!” Spencer Boyd said about the upcoming race at Talladega. “The team over at Alabama Roofing Professionals has such pride in serving their community that it raises the stakes for me to put a good run together for them. Our Young’s Motorsports team has won two of the last three races at Dega so we feel good about making the whole state of Alabama proud with this year’s effort.”

    The experts in both residential and commercial roofing were on board when Boyd scored his first career win in 2019 at this same race. As always, there are free estimates for all NASCAR fans.

    “We’ve got you covered with three locations across the state whether it is for an insurance claim, gutter or insulation upgrades, or just regular maintenance,” said Mike Parlier, owner of Alabama Roofing Professionals. “But when Spencer comes to Talladega, the track is headquarters. With this new red paint scheme and a show truck appearance nearby, we will be turning some heads. We are as proud to support Spencer as we are to be there for our community and the roofs over their heads.”

    Spencer and the memorialized truck that won the 2019 race will make an appearance in the area the weekend of the race.

    Unlike previous years, all three of NASCAR’s national touring series will race Talladega Superspeedway this fall with trucks and the Xfinity Series racing on Saturday and the Cup Series on Sunday – making it one of the most exciting weekends in all motorsports.

    The Talladega 250 at Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday, October 1, 2022 airs live on FS1 at 11:30am ET and marks Alabama Roofing Professionals third primary race with Spencer Boyd and Young’s Motorsports.

    DGR NCWTS Recap: Richmond Raceway

    Friday, July 29
    Track: Richmond Raceway, .75-mile oval
    Race: 18 of 23
    Event: Worldwide Express 250 for Carrier Appreciation (250 laps, 187.5 miles)

    Hailie Deegan, No. 1 Pristine Auction Ford F-150

    Start: 20th

    Stage 1: 23rd

    Stage 2: 21st

    Finish: 26th

    Hailie Deegan qualified 24th for the Worldwide Express 250 for Carrier Appreciation in her second career appearance at Richmond Raceway. The 21-year-old hovered around her starting position for the race’s opening laps, telling Crew Chief Jerry Baxter and the No. 1 team that she was struggling with a loose condition on corner entry and exit. A pit crew violation would send Deegan to 32nd on the subsequent restart, forcing her to claw through field in order to reach 21st position by the conclusion of stage two. A commitment line violation on the next round of pit stops would relegate Deegan to back of the pack for the final stage, relegating the Temecula, CA native to a 26th-place finish.

    Tanner Gray, No. 15 Black’s Tire Ford F-150

    Start: 19th

    Stage 1: 18th

    Stage 2: 18th

    Finish: 16th

    Tanner Gray qualified 19th for Saturday night’s event at Richmond Raceway. After falling back to 21st at the drop of the green, Gray moved back up to 18th midway through the stage and finished there. After a pit stop for tires, fuel and trackbar adjustments, the 23-year-old maintained in 18th for the duration of Stage 2. Gray was trapped one lap down for much of the final stage and while battling the other drivers on his lap, managed to advance to 16th when the checkered flag flew.

    Taylor Gray, No. 17 Ford Performance F-150

    Start: 24th

    Stage 1: 14th

    Stage 2: 5th

    Finish: 6th

    Taylor Gray qualified 24th for the Worldwide Express 250 and wasted no time on the initial start to begin his march forward. By the halfway point of the opening stage, the younger Gray was up to 17th and he gained three additional positions to finish 14th in Stage 1. Chad Johnston called the No. 17 down pit road for tires, fuel and air pressure adjustments at the stage break and that seemed to do the trick as Gray launched into the top-10 on the restart. The Ford Performance F-150 stacked up fifth at the end of Stage 2. After falling back to seventh early in the final stage, Gray re-entered the top-five on lap 178, but a caution with 36 laps to go led the drivers to pit road one final time. The Ford driver cycled to sixth on the final restart and finished there for his first Truck Series top-10 of 2022.

    Next event: NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Playoff Race at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas on September 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

    Grant Enfinger, No. 23 SureDone / Auto Parts 4Less Chevrolet Silverado RST

    START: 5TH

    FINISH: 4TH

    POINTS: 4TH

    Quote: It seems like you guys are starting to build momentum, getting consistent speed with this truck a couple weeks in a row now, are things turning the tide here?

    “I think we are turning the tide a little bit at GMS Racing. Thank you to SureDone [and Auto Parts 4Less] for jumping onboard tonight. We had a solid Chevrolet all day long, but just it wasn’t a contender. I do feel like we’ve made some big gains on the potential of the truck, but we just never quite got the balance good enough for a long run there. [We] qualified fifth and raced from third to fifth for 250 laps. I think we were a fourth place truck tonight, so we will take it, and we will build off of it, and I’m excited to get to Kansas.”

    Jack Wood, No. 24 ChevyLiners.com Chevrolet Silverado RST

    START: 25TH

    FINISH: 23RD

    POINTS: 25TH

    Quote: “You know, we didn’t really get the finish that we were hoping for tonight at Richmond, but at the end of the day, we were able to learn a lot and improve throughout the night. It’s not often that we can bring home a truck without a scratch on it at a short track, and we definitely needed that. This track is really tough, but I thought that I figured some of it out by the midway point in the race. We’ve got a few weeks to build on our notes for Kansas, and I’m really looking forward to going back there with my No. 24 team.”

    TOYOTA QUOTES

    CHANDLER SMITH, No. 18 ChargeMe Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, Kyle Busch Motorsports

    Finishing Position: 1st

    After becoming a first-time Dad earlier this week, how special is this race win?

    “God is so good. I’m a Daddy now. My wife had such an amazing labor and delivery. We have an amazing and beautiful baby boy at home. Honey, this is for you and Jr. this is for you as well. I can’t wait to get home to you two tonight. The blessings just keep stacking up. I have an incredible group behind me at KBM (Kyle Busch Motorsports) and an incredible group of partners with ChargeMe, Safelite and everybody. I’m taking this in. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve it, but I’m going to keep taking it in and giving all glory to the Lord.”

    Does this race win serve notice that the championship will go through this team?

    “I’ll leave that to you guys. Just like I said at media day, if the Good Lord wants it to be our championship, then it will and if it’s not, it’s not. I like how everything is going right now for sure.”

    JOHN HUNTER NEMECHEK, No. 4 Safeway Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, Kyle Busch Motorsports

    Finishing Position: 2nd

    What did you need to make a run at Chandler Smith for the win tonight?

    “We didn’t adjust quite like we needed to from day to night. Partly on me so I’ll take that one. Overall, solid day for our Safeway Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Thank you to all of our great partners that are on this Tundra TRD and everyone that helps out and keeps us going here. Just big picture racing I would say. Really good points day. Second, second and second for all three stages. Can’t complain about that, just one spot short. It’s good to be disappointed when you have a run like that with second, second and second. Really good points day, let’s go advance to the next round. Only thing that matters is getting to the final four in Phoenix to compete for a championship.”

    What are you going to do in the two weeks before the Kansas race?

    “Going to run two races for Sam Hunt Racing in the Toyota GR Supra. Excited to go stay in the seat and keep everything that I can sharp and go have some fun racing.”

    TY MAJESKI, No. 66 TSPORT Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, ThorSport Racing

    Finishing Position: 3rd

    How was your truck overall tonight?

    “I thought we had a really good truck in qualifying and practice, but it didn’t quite correlate to the race. Just have to get better at being a little bit more picky with the balance and learning the transition with these race trucks from day to night. All in all, really good run for us today. We had a good points day and we’re right there.”

    How difficult was it to recover after the incident with your jackman?

    “I saw him trip and I slammed on the brakes so I didn’t hit him. He did a great job and it was actually his first time tonight and he recovered well and really salvaged that pit stop. He rebounded and had some really great stops. That’s what teamwork is all about, we win and lose as a team. I tried to encourage him over the radio and told him it was a good recovery. They gave me two great pit stops on those last two.”

    MATT CRAFTON, No. 88 Ideal Door/Menards Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, ThorSport Racing

    Finishing Position: 7th

    How do you continue with this momentum into the next round of the Playoffs?

    “Just keep doing what we’re doing. The team did a great job. We were really good on the long run. When we fired off, we were on the splitter. It took about 10 laps for it to get going and once it did, it was really good. We bumped up the tires there at the end and it made it quite a bit better to where it fired off on that restart. These guys worked their butts off and as fast as we’ve been this year at so many different places, to come here and be capable of running top-five speed wise. Very, very happy with that and we know we can run in the top-five and contend.”

    CHRISTIAN ECKES, No. 98 CMR Roofing Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, ThorSport Racing

    Finishing Position: 8th

    What do you have to do to make it into the next round of the Playoffs at this point?

    “We just have to undo what we’ve done the last two races. We just haven’t executed and we haven’t brought fast trucks and it’s frustrating for sure. Really proud of everybody at ThorSport Racing for fighting hard tonight. We really fought hard, but we really don’t have much to show for it. We don’t have much to lose at Kansas now. I know it’s only six points, but I feel like it’s going to take running up front and a win to make it happen. Huge thank you to CMR Roofing, ThorSport Racing and everyone involved. We’ll go get them at Kansas.”

    BEN RHODES, No. 99 Tenda Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, ThorSport Racing

    Finishing Position: 18th

    With a challenging night, you didn’t lose a lot of ground in the points to move onto the next round, but what do you need to contend for a second championship?

    “I guess we can run just as bad in Kansas and make it into the next round. We had a terrible night tonight, but to go win a second championship, that’s not what we needed to do. We have to right the ship and get better. Honestly, I’m a little confused on the issues we fought all night. I had some brake issues in practice. We were trying something new and I didn’t like it from the start, from the first laps on the track. But something else was going on tonight, stuff that I’ve never really felt in a race car before. We’ll have to go back and diagnose it and make sure it never happens again. Overall, just have to say thank you to my team. They work their butts off. Not the night we wanted, but we can run this bad again. We need to get wins and run better to contend for this championship.”

I’ve always been able to steal an extra spot or two at the end of a long run, and we had a stellar long-run pace at Lucas Oil Raceway in our No. 02 Chevrolet Silverado RST.

    Joey Gase Pre-Race Quote:

    On Richmond Raceway: “I’m very excited to get behind the wheel this weekend for multiple reasons. First, we have the opportunity to raise awareness for organ, eye and tissue donation and honor all of those affected by it. Some know my family’s story that my mom, Mary, passed away of a sudden brain aneurysm and helped save and improve the lives of 66 people.

    “On top of all of this, Richmond is by far one of my favorite race tracks and I can’t thank Young’s Motorsports enough for the opportunity and hope we have a good showing on Saturday night.”

    • Chassis History/Info: Enfinger and the No. 23 team will be debuting a brand new Silverado RST in Richmond, as GMS Racing chassis no. 345 makes its on-track debut at the 0.75-mile short track. The crew at GMS Fabrication has prepped this piece specifically for the playoffs, and the No. 23 team is eager to see what it can do this weekend.
    • Pre-Race Invocation: Ahead of Saturday’s Worldwide Express 250, Grant Enfinger will deliver the pre-race invocation on stage with representatives from Motor Racing Outreach. As a devout man of faith, this is a very special opportunity for Grant, who also races with a handwritten Bible verse in his truck each weekend.
    • Short Track Heroes: Statistically speaking, short tracks are some of Enfinger’s best tracks on the schedule. With three wins, eight top-fives and 13 top-10 finishes across Richmond, Bristol, Martinsville, and IRP in his career, it’s typical to find him near the front of the field at these types of tracks. The veteran won in his first Richmond start back in 2020, and led the second most amount of laps in last year’s race as well. Also of note, Crew Chief Jeff Hensley has won twice before at Richmond – first in 2005 with Mike Skinner and most recently in 2020 with Grant.
    • Most Recent Winner: After fighting an uphill battle through the majority of the regular season, Grant Enfinger, Jeff Hensley, and the No. 23 team silenced the critics with a convincing first win of the season at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. The driver of the Champion Power Equipment Chevy was a threat throughout the night, but when a late race caution flew, a gutsy four tire call dropped him down the leaderboard with just a handful of laps left to run. Seemingly out of nowhere in a brilliant drive, Enfinger climbed all the way from 13th on the final two restarts to earn his seventh-career NCWTS win.
    • FearTheFinger Playoffs Profile: Grant Enfinger is the only driver who can breathe easily over the course of the next two races, as his win in Indianapolis secured his spot into the Round of 8. Heading into Richmond, Enfinger sits at the top of the playoffs grid, and is now focused on earning as many playoffs points as possible to build a cushion in the next round. While their spot is guaranteed, the No. 23 team is approaching races at Richmond and Kansas as big opportunities to continue their momentum. – GE Quote: “I’m definitely a short track guy, so I get excited any time the Camping World Truck Series heads to one. I think Richmond is a place that myself and Hensley have had some success at, and I also think that it’s one of those places that fits my natural driving style, so I don’t have to change any of my normal tendencies are to race there. I like that the tires fall off, and that we’re slipping and sliding, and that we have to manage that situation the whole time. We have some confidence from our last showing at IRP, so we’re going to roll that right into Richmond this week.”

    • JW Quote: “I’m looking forward to racing at Richmond on Saturday. I’ve never raced there before, but Grant has been pretty strong there in the past, so hopefully, I’ll be able to learn some stuff from him about how that track tends to race. Hopefully, we can use this second short track race in a row as an opportunity to fix some of our problems from last time out at IRP, and I think there will be a good chance that we unload with a fast No. 24 ChevyLiners.com Silverado RST. It was nice to have an off week, but I’m ready to get back in the seat again.”
