  • KYLE BUSCH the New Green Machine
    KYLE BUSCH The New Green Machine HUNTERSVILLE, North Carolina (Feb. 26, 2020) – When Kyle Busch takes to the track at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California this weekend, Interstate Batteries will debut a sharp new “green machine’ paint scheme as the founding sponsor of Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) starts its 29th season riding along with one of the top teams in NASCAR. While there are many paint schemes created throughout the years, rarely does a driver and the chairman of a sponsor’s company collaborate on a scheme, and even more rare is a 34-year-old collaborating with someone from the Greatest Generation. However, that is exactly what happened with the new Interstate Batteries scheme debuting this weekend in the NASCAR Cup Series Auto Club 400.. Starting late last season, Interstate Batteries chairman Norm Miller teamed up with Busch on the new design. The end result is a powerful new green scheme that Busch will run this weekend in Southern California and during the remaining Interstate-sponsored races in 2020. Busch, driver of the No. 18 Interstate Batteries Toyota for JGR, would like nothing more than to repeat his Auto Club 400 victory from last March, which happened to be his 200th career victory in NASCAR’s top three series and 54th in the Cup Series. He’s since lifted those totals to 209 overall and 57 in the Cup Series. Meanwhile, the first two races of 2020 have not gone to plan for the 2019 Cup Series champion. An engine issue in the season-opening Daytona 500 and handling issues last weekend at his hometown Las Vegas Motor Speedway have been the culprits.

    Contact: Matthew Simmons Adam Saal Bill Klingbeil SRT Motorsports - Nationwide Race Recap - Kentucky HORNISH LEADS DODGE WITH SIXTH-PLACE FINISH AT KENTUCKY Keselowski Loses Track Position Early, Rebounds to Grab Seventh-Place June 29, 2012, Sparta, Ky. - SPARTA, Ky. (Saturday, June 30, 2012) – Sam Hornish Jr. continued his string of rock-solid finishes in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. He finished sixth in Friday night’s Feed the Children 300 at Kentucky Speedway. The driver of the No. 12 Wurth Dodge Challenger posted his eighth top-10 finish and third consecutive. He remains fourth in the series championship standings, 33 points behind leader Austin Dillon. “That’s the thing that you’ve got to do; you’ve got to be consistent,” Hornish said. “We need to keep being smart and doing the things that we’re doing. We’re chipping away at it. We’d love to do it all in about two races and be leading the points but it’s not going to happen that way. We just need to be smart about what we do.” Brad Keselowski overcame the loss of track position early in the race to finish seventh, his eighth top-10 finish in 11 starts this season. Keselowski was running third when he pitted during the first caution of the race on lap 26. The crew had an issue with the right-front during the stop plus receiving a penalty for pitting outside the pit box and a tire violation. Keselowski restarted 29th but was able to work his way back onto the top five by lap 130.

MILLER DEALERSHIPS JOIN FORCES WITH VF IMAGEWEAR ON NO. 3 CHEVROLET CAMARO DRIVEN BY TY DILLON FOR NASCAR XFINITY SERIES 300 AT KENTUCKY SPEEDWAY (July 6, 2015) SALT LAKE CITY, UT – For the second consecutive year, Alsco, a worldwide leader in the rental of linen, uniforms, healthcare garments, and washroom products, has teamed with VF Imagewear to fuel the No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro driven by Ty Dillon in the XFINITY Series 300 at Kentucky Speedway on July 10. This opportunity is made possible by Richard Childress Racing’s (RCR) partnership with VF Imagewear brand Red Kap. “Like Alsco, RCR is a family-run business. With Richard Childress’ grandson, Ty, driving the No. 3 car, coming on board with a first-class organization like RCR is a no-brainer,” said Jim Divers, Director of Sales and Marketing at Alsco. “Just having our brand connected with this team is a tremendous benefit. Our thanks go out to our great partner, VF Imagewear, for helping put us together.” Ty Dillon finished seventh in last year’s XFINITY Series race at Kentucky Speedway and earned the Sunoco Rookie of the Race award. Ten top-ten finishes so far in 2015 have propelled him to second place in the points standings, making him a strong championship contender in just his second season in the XFINITY Series. “Everyone at RCR involved with our XFINITY Series program really values our partnership with VF Imagewear because of the superior product it provides for our race team,” Dillon said.
