But the debut of this new rules package has everyone back on their heels a bit. Sure, it is the same abrasive Atlanta track, but there’s now a high probability that how you approached this race in the past will not apply this weekend.” Craven says the jury will be out on the new aero package for the first four races: “The next four races, all at completely different disciplines of race tracks, will give us an indication of which direction we are headed with the new aero package. We can’t judge it, for better or worse, after just one or two races, though.” FOX NASCAR play-by-play announcer Adam Alexander discusses the growth of FOX Sports’ initiative to put Cup drivers in the Xfinity booth and Jimmie Johnson’s analyst debut with Kevin Harvick on Saturday: “I could have never imagined, when we introduced Cup Series drivers to the Xfinity Series booth a few years ago, that it would grow like this. We’ve had countless Cup regulars join us, and Kevin established early that this is something he wants to continue to be a part of. His great success on the track has translated nicely to the booth, and I know Jimmie’s will, as well. It will be fantastic to get those two together on Saturday, and I can’t wait to have a front-row seat for it.” FOX NASCAR AT ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE (All times live/Eastern unless otherwise indicated & subject to change) Friday, Feb. 22 MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES practice 1 (11:30 AM-1:00 PM ET) (NASCAR.com/live) NASCAR XFINITY SERIES practice 1 (1:00-2:00 PM ET) (NASCAR.com/live) NASCAR GANDER OUTDOORS TRUCK SERIES practice 1 (2:00-3:00 PM ET) (NASCAR.com/live) NASCAR XFINITY SERIES final practice (3:00-4:00 PM) (FS1) NASCAR GANDER OUTDOORS TRUCK SERIES final practice (4:00-5:00 PM) (FS1) MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES qualifying (5:00-6:30 PM) (FS1) Saturday, Feb. 23 NASCAR XFINITY SERIES qualifying (9:30-10:30 AM) (FS1) NASCAR GANDER OUTDOORS TRUCK SERIES qualifying (10:30 AM-12:00 PM) (FS1) MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES final practice (12:00-1:30 PM) (FS1) NASCAR RACEDAY-XFINITY (1:30-2:00 PM) (FS1) NASCAR XFINITY SERIES Racing (2:00-4:30 PM) (FS1) NASCAR GANDER OUTDOORS TRUCK SERIES Racing (4:30-6:30 PM) (FS1) NASCAR GANDER OUTDOORS TRUCK SERIES post-race (6:30-7:00 PM) (FS1) Sunday, Feb. 24 NASCAR RACEDAY (12:30-1:30 PM) (FS1) NASCAR RACEDAY (1:30-2:00 PM) (FOX) MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES Racing (2:00-6:00 PM) (FOX) About FOX Sports FOX Sports is the umbrella entity representing 21st Century FOX’s wide array of multi-platform US-based sports assets.

  • 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.

McMurray, driving the Cessna Patriotic Chevrolet SS, overcame an early tire issue to narrowly miss the top-10 with an 11th-place finish in the Toyota/SaveMart 350. McMurray entered the weekend as the two-time defending pole winner for the race and hoped to be just the second driver to pull-off the hat-trick of three consecutive poles at Sonoma Raceway (Ricky Rudd won three in a row 1990-1992). Unfortunately McMurray was unable to transfer into the second round of qualifying on Saturday afternoon and settled for an 18th-place qualifying result. McMurray was able to pick-up positons in the early running before having to pit off sequence on lap 10 for a tire issue. The minor setback put the No. 1 Cessna Patriotic Chevy on a different pit strategy than several of the leaders, but the No. 1 team was able to take advantage of some cautions and close back up on the field. On the race’s final caution, crew chief Matt McCall, gambled on track positon and McMurray restarted second with just seven laps to go.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson Team up with Valvoline™ for Reinvention Project
    February 10, 2014 Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson team up with Valvoline™ for Reinvention Project Hendrick Motorsports challenges fans to re-create drivers' reinvented American classic trucks for a chance to win a truck of their own Lexington, Ky. (February 10, 2014) - Valvoline™ and Hendrick Motorsports today announced a first-of-its-kind consumer challenge called the Reinvention Project. Valvoline is working with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. to secretly reinvent two classic Chevy trucks and will be keeping them under wraps to give fans a chance to get in on the action. Starting today, car enthusiasts everywhere can put their know-how to the test in an attempt to guess the various features of Earnhardt Jr.'s and Johnson's creations. A virtual garage hosted at www.ReinventionProject.com invites consumers to select the parts that the drivers hand-picked for their high-performance trucks, from Chevrolet Performance* engines, to American Eagle* wheels and Goodyear* tires. Clues and updates will be released via Valvoline's social media channels - with the hashtags #TeamJimmie or #TeamDaleJr - to help participants revisit and fine-tune their online truck builds along the way. "The opportunity to work with Valvoline on the Reinvention Project is one I couldn't pass up," said Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet SS. "Having the flexibility to rebuild and reinvent nearly every part of my shop truck from the ground up is such a cool experience." "Working alongside Valvoline and Hendrick Motorsports, the automotive know-how is incredible," said Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No.

  • Capps, NAPA Start Celebration for 50 Years of Funny Cars with Win at Winternationals, Start Mello Yello Season on Fox

Capps, NAPA start celebration for 50 years of Funny Cars with win at Winternationals, start Mello Yello season on Fox Last Sunday was Valentine’s Day but the season-opening NHRA Circle K Winternationals in Pomona, Calif., didn’t show much love to Don Schumacher Racing. That is, unless you are Ron Capps and the NAPA AUTO PARTS team led by crew chief Rahn Tobler and assistant Eric Lane who opened the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season by winning the Funny Car title to begin a special year that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Funny Car. Their 2016 Dodge Charger R/T was the only one of seven DSR entries to advance past the second round of Mello Yello eliminations and they went all the way. Capps and the NAPA team were dominant all weekend during the first of 24 national events with seven of their eight runs in the 3- second range including all four in qualifying that helped the team earn the No. 2 spot. “I have the best team in the business, and they gave me a great racecar,” he said. “All four runs in the 3s in qualifying, I don’t think anyone else did that. I knew we had a good racecar. Tobler and I have grown so much together. It’s like a marriage. He really keeps me in line on race day. We had a heckuva day.” And it was a banner weekend for NAPA Racing.
