  • COLE CUSTER Gearing up for Michigan Doubleheader
    COLE CUSTER Gearing Up for Michigan Doubleheader KANNAPOLIS, North Carolina (Aug. 4, 2020) – This weekend, Cole Custer, driver of the No. 41 HaasTooling.com/Jacob Construction Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) and his fellow NASCAR Cup Series competitors head to Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn for a doubleheader at the 2-mile track. The world’s best stock car drivers are scheduled to complete over 600 miles combined Saturday and Sunday in the backyard of manufacturer Ford, which is located approximately 65 miles northeast of the track in Dearborn. HaasTooling.com will share the No. 41 machine this weekend with Jacob Construction. Jacob adorned Custer’s Ford Mustang earlier this season at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway. Jacob is a multifaceted firm with a focus on construction, development, design and technology services. Jacob provides clients with a wide range of services in the design build and construction management sectors of the construction industry. In conjunction with these services, Jacob self performs structural concrete, architectural and structural precast erection. So far this season, the Mustang has earned 11 wins for Ford. Custer and his SHR teammate Kevin Harvick have both earned wins for the Blue Oval this season. A win this weekend would be huge for Ford and SHR. Not only because it’s close to Ford headquarters, but this weekend’s events have a unique trophy. The Michigan Heritage Trophy was created in 2013 and is awarded to the winning manufacturer of each race. Custer heads into this weekend coming off of an eighth-place finish in last Sunday’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon.

The Stewards received two protests from Haas F1 Team (“Haas”), one against Car 31 (Driver Esteban Ocon) and one against Car 11 (Driver Sergio Perez) of the Racing Point Force India F1 Team. 2. The identical protests alleged that “Force India Mercedes” (“FIM”) (Racing Point Force India F1 Team or “RPFI”) is not a “constructor” within the meaning of such terms as set out in Article 6.3 and Appendix 6 of the 2018 Formula One Sporting Regulations and accordingly asserted that FIM is not eligible to enter such cars in the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship. 3. Haas and FIM representatives were summoned to a hearing of the Stewards which commenced at 1100 hrs (UAE time) Friday November 23. The FIA was also invited to be represented. 4.

Die Fußstapfen, in die er trat, waren dennoch riesig, denn Michael Schumacher hatte immerhin fünf Weltmeis- tertitel für die Roten geholt, Doch die Epoche Schumi lag zehn Jah- re zurück, und außerdem galten seit Einführung der 1,6-Liter-Tur- bomotoren mit zusätzlichem Elektroantrieb völlig andere Regeln. Ferrari war bei der technischen Entwicklung ganz vorne dabei und genoss einen klaren Favoritenstatus. Mit seinem ersten Sieg im zweiten Rennen für die Scuderia schürte Sebastian Vettel große Hoffnungen, doch mehr als zwei Vize-Weltmeistertitel hinter Le- wis Hamilton im überragenden Mercedes (2017 und 2018) waren für den Heppenheimer in den sechs Jahren nicht drin. In der vor- letzten Saison verschlechterte sich die Bilanz der Scuderia zuse- hends, und doch kam die Meldung von seinem Rücktritt Mitte Mai 2020 einigermaßen überraschend. Sebastian verhält sich wie ein englischer Gentleman, der mit steifer Oberlippe die letzten Grands Prix der Corona-Saison 2020 mit Anstand über die Bühne bringt und sich trotz offensichtlicher Defizite von Team und Arbeitsge- rät mit Kritik vornehm zurückhält.

And on July 21 Fiat Chrysler chairman, John Elkann, 42, wrote a wistful semi-obituary letter to the company's 236,000 employees, reminding them that it was Marchionne's "intellect, perseverance and leadership that saved Fiat." ROME -- The Italian component of Fiat-Chrysler [2] cars was already in crisis when Sergio Marchionne, 66, was in a university hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, on June 28, supposedly for an operation on his shoulder. But then Marchionne took a "sudden and sharp" turn for the worse, and is now unconscious on life-support; some here whisper the real cause is cancer, but no official statement has yet come. He last appeared in public on June 26 in Italy, two days before hospitalization. Although TV news footage from that day shows Marchionne weak and with apparent trouble Page 1 of 3 John Elkann: Sergio Marchionne "Will not Return" Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) breathing, some Italian press accounts say that the situation "precipitated almost without warning" while others spoke of an "unspecified aggressively infectious disease" only recently diagnosed. Whatever the cause, no improvement will come, for his condition is "irreversible," according to the hospital; and on July 21 Fiat Chrysler chairman, John Elkann, 42, wrote a wistful semi-obituary letter to the company's 236,000 employees, reminding them that it was Marchionne's "intellect, perseverance and leadership that saved Fiat." Marchionne, born in Italy but raised in Canada, took over the then failing 119-year-old Fiat company [3] in 2004.
