    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.

    CHAMPIONSHIP IS ANYONE’S TO WIN: Will Power scored his third win of the 2017 season at Pocono Raceway and has established himself as a contender for the Verizon IndyCar Series championship. The Australian is fifth in points and sits 42 points behind his teammate Josef Newgarden in the standings, but has finished strong over his career. Can he maintain the momentum as the series heads to Gateway Motorsports Park? Chris Jones/INDYCAR PHOTO WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: •MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS: The Verizon IndyCar Series returns to Gateway Motorsports Park for the first time in more than a decade for this weekend’s Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Valvoline. Of the 21 drivers expected to compete, only Helio Castroneves, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan have raced Indy cars at Gateway in the past. Will experience pay off in the final oval race of the 2017 season? • HOMETOWN HELIO?: Helio Castroneves has fond memories of St. Louis as he raced for St. Louis-based Hogan Racing early in his career and scored a podium for the team at Gateway Motorsports Park in 1999. Castroneves, the last Indy car driver to win at Gateway in 2003, has never finished outside the top 10 at the 1.25-mile oval. Can he use a little bit of St. Louis “home-cooking” to secure his first championship? • FANTASY FOCUS: With so many drivers making their first appearance at Gateway Motorsports Park, it’s hard to overlook Helio Castroneves’ experience this weekend. But if you need a value pick, look at either AJ Foyt Racing’s Conor Daly or Ed Carpenter Racing’s JR Hildebrand.

What does that say about Renault’s ambition for next year? Cyril ABITEBOUL: Well, we always said that it would be a long-term plan but obviously there has to be some steps and some visible steps. That is the first step of the plan. There will be more development; there will be more announcements, more decisions. We have a substantial investment plan in Enstone. There are also good upgrades coming up on the engine side. So it’s all coming together. The structure is coming together. So, fairly satisfied with the way things are progressing. Inevitably the focus is now going to fall on the other seat. What do you want from that driver and would you ideally like him to be French? CA: Frankly, nationality, we don’t want to start having some tactics in terms of nationality. We want him to be fast, we want him to make some contribution to the team, just like Nico will be doing with his experience. We know he had a strong spirit and can contribute to get the team together, so the second driver should be doing exactly the same. We have a bit of time to make the decision.
