--Press Release From Michael Shank Racing-- Sebring, Fla. (20 March 2021) – Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) drivers Dane Cameron, Olivier Pla and Juan Pablo Montoya raced to a hard-fought third place finish in the 69th annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring on Saturday. The podium performance came in just the second outing for the No. 60 MSR SiriusXM / AutoNation Acura ARX-05, with the race marking round two of the 2021 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The Sebring outing provided the team with another opportunity to accelerate the learning curve after the two-time IMSA GTD championship-winning squad moved to the DPi ranks with Acura ahead of the 2021 season. But windy and unseasonably cool conditions on the notoriously tricky 3.74-mile track made for a moving target when it came to locking in the perfect setup through the 12 hour race. After starting the race from fifth on the grid, the MSR effort raced within the top three for 167 of the 349 lap race and took the lead three times...

Yet another week of NASCAR Cup Series racing, and yet another different winner.  Is this the year we have 36 different winners? (Spoiler alert – no, it’s not).  However, it wouldn’t be crazy to suggest that our streak of different winners continues this weekend.  With some of the big-name drivers still without a win this year (Hamlin, Keselowski, Logano, Elliott, Harvick, etc.), it’s certainly within the realm of possibility.   This weekend marks a return to Atlanta Motor Speedway, a 1.54-mile quad-oval that was built in 1960.  It is known for being one of the fastest intermediate tracks on the NASCAR circuit, and for the extremely abrasive track surface which can make tire wear a very big factor in strategy decisions.   The race will be 325 laps (for a total of 500.5 miles), with stage breaks occurring at 105 – 210 – 325, and a competition caution at lap 25.  The fuel window is approximately 58-62 laps.   NASCAR has run 1,865.70 miles...

                                        (Austin Cindric in victory lane after winning at Pheonix)     No such thing as a championship hangover as Austin Cindric continues his winning ways dominating the Call 811 Before You Dig 200, leading 119 out of the 200 lap event at Phoenix Raceway. This was a new record high at the one mile track for laps led.  There was some strong competition to contend for the win all race long including rookie Josh Berry. Berry, Daniel Hemric and Brandon Jones, but Cindric held off all threats. Joe Gibbs Racing had a good day turned sour as Ty Gibbs was their highest finishing driver behind race winner Cindric, Harrison Burton finished a respectable 12th and their teammate Daniel Hemric ended his day 23rd. Brandon Jones recorded a DNF placing 33rd despite a strong runs throughout the day. JR Motorsports' slow st...

--Press Release From Michael Shank Racing-- Sebring, Fla, (19 March 2021) – Olivier Pla made his first qualifying run of 2021 with Meyer Shank Racing and put the No. 60 Acura ARX-05 DPi on the inside of the third row in fifth for Saturday’s Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.   Pla posted a fast time of 1:46.377-seconds on lap seven during Friday’s 15-minute qualifying run.   A packed day of three practice sessions proceeded Friday’s qualifying run to set the grid for the day to night event. Pla’s familiarity with MSR dates back to 2016 which saw the Frenchman score pole position in his role as endurance driver for the Ohio-based team. Pla will join forces with Dane Cameron and Juan Pablo Montoya for Saturday’s race. The trio are coming off of the IMSA season opener at Daytona International Speedway which saw the team finish fourth. MSR completed all 807 laps in its debut with the Acura ARX-05.   “We worked a lot on the car balance yesterday,” said Pla. “With good balance we...

-- Roush Fenway Racing Press Release -- Buescher to Run 604 Late Model Class at Half-Mile Track CONCORD, N.C., (March 16, 2021) – The NASCAR Cup Series hasn’t raced on dirt in Chris Buescher’s lifetime – let alone the last four decades – but that changes in a few weeks when Bristol Motor Speedway plays host to what is poised to be a unique and challenging opportunity. As preparation for taking his No. 17 Ford Mustang to Bristol, Buescher will hop in a No. 75 entry in the 604 Late Model Class for the Bristol Dirt Nationals, which runs March 15-20 at ‘The World’s Fastest Half Mile. The Texas native is one of several full-time NASCAR competitors who will compete on the dirt, as they try and gain added experience heading into the March 28 Cup event. Buescher is scheduled to race Tuesday and Thursday, and could on Saturday should he qualify for the main event. “This will be a unique experience for me, but one I’m looking forward to for many reasons,” Buescher said. “For one, it should ...

--Press Release From Michael Shank Racing-- Pataskala, Ohio (15 March 2021) – It’s been five years since Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) raced on the iconic Sebring International circuit equipped with Prototype machinery, but the Ohio-based team is prepared to make a strong return on Saturday for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring (NBC, 10:00am ET). The MSR squad will enter the weekend with full-season drivers Olivier Pla and Dane Cameron who will also be joined by Juan Pablo Montoya in the No. 60 Acura ARX-05 DPi.   While it has been several years since the team raced at Sebring with a Prototype, it has only been a few months since MSR clinched its second consecutive GTD Championship title at the track back in November. Now, just four months later, MSR will return with a whole new lineup of drivers and all-new car as it aims to capture its inaugural Sebring 12 Hour victory. MSR’s last outing in a Prototype at Sebring International Raceway (2016) saw Pla – who served as MSR endurance dri...

-- Roush Fenway Racing Press Release -- AVONDALE, Ariz. (March 14, 2021) – After battling the handling on his race car all day, Chris Buescher and the No. 17 Roush Performance Ford team worked their way up to an 18th place finish at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday Afternoon. Buescher rolled off the grid 17th but began to lose positions in the early laps with reports of an extremely tight Ford Mustang. The team pitted with the competition caution at lap 32 for fuel, four tires, air pressure and track bar adjustment. The driver restarted 21st on the bottom lane and was moving forward when he narrowly avoided a wreck at lap 46. The team stayed out under the caution to gain track position and restart 14th. By lap 64, he was shuffled back to 28th and ultimately finished stage one in 29th. At the stage break, Buescher reported that his Ford Mustang was still very tight and the team took four tires, and fuel while making another track bar change and air pressure adjustment. The driver restarted 23...

The premiere season covers different topics within the sport and clever jokes that poke fun at different characters, most prominently lead characters Jake, Kevin and Amir. The show includes cameos from current NASCAR stars Ryan Blaney, Austin Dillon and sophomore Cole Custer. Plenty of pleasant banter between drivers and team members. While the storylines are fictional, the series is a reflection of the current culture in the NASCAR garage throughout a racing weekend.  When considering ...

We are four races into the season, and so far we have four different winners.  Will this be the race that crowns our first repeat winner of the season?  We may only be 1/9 th of the way through the season, but there are some trends that are starting to form that may help paint a picture of how the rest of the season may go.  This weekend, the Cup Series makes a trip to Phoenix Raceway for the Instacart 500, and also perhaps for a sneak peek at who can bring the speed to this track and challenge for a championship at the end of the year.  Let’s get the StatChat started:   Phoenix Raceway, while also the site of the Championship Race in November, is the Cup Series’ first visit to a short track in 2021.  It is a 1.022-mile (though NASCAR scores it just as one mile) oval with a distinctive dogleg just past the start/finish line.  The NASCAR Cup Series has been racing at Phoenix since 1988, but has undergone a few reconfigurations in the time since...
