  PRESS RELEASE CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 16, 2021) – Roush Fenway Racing announced today a robust rebranding strategy that will see the organization change its official name to Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing (going by RFK Racing). The team unveiled a new branding campaign and all new marks at a media luncheon at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Tuesday. The branding includes a new organizational logo structure, as well as a rebranding of the team’s iconic No. 6 mark. “We are excited about this next chapter in our team’s history,” said team president Steve Newmark. “For our whole team, it has been vitally important to spend time and energy around this process to capture the right message about who we are as we move forward as an organization.” For the rebranding, the team enlisted the services of the award-winning marketing firm RARE Design, who has handled rebranding for several major league stick and ball sports, as well as the NASCAR league rebranding. RARE conducted interviews with over 4...

Become a Patron! Per a tweet from former NASCAR driver and Fox Sports analyst Kenny Wallace, the NASCAR Cup Series will be competing at the World Wide Tech Raceway in 2022. There has been speculation of the track replacing one of the Pocono dates over the last few weeks.  I will be talking to @WWTRaceway and @ChrisBlair4B about ME hosting my DIRT racing friends in a small section of the grandstand for THE @NASCAR CUP race in 2022.

30 Second Read: Kyle Busch captures the Buschy McBusch Race 400

                              (Kyle Busch celebrates after his victory at Kansas Speedway)                             Photo : https://twitter.com/ToyotaRacing/status/1388992483829424129?s=20 Sunday marked the 16th consecutive season that Kyle Busch has gone to victory lane. The no. 18 M&M's Toyota Camry carried a consistent pace throughout the day and showed that the curse of Kansas Speedway has been lifted for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Busch won stage one as well as the race win but had to hold off challengers. In what seemed like another edition of the Kyle and Kyle show, Kyle Larson showed again why he is a force to be reckoned with. With a stage 2 victory, Larson remained in the top 5 all day until the final restart that resulted in what could have been a massive wreck off of turn two turning Ryan Blan...

Predicting The 2021 Cup Series Playoff Drivers and How They Get There.

Image
      The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season is fast approaching, and its predictions season. With the Daytona 500 almost a week away I went week by week, race by race, and I predicted the winner of every single points paying race of the 2021 Cup Series Schedule. Daytona 500- Denny Hamlin....Could  anybody else really win this race?  Daytona Road Course- Chase Elliott...DUH! Homestead-   Denny Hamlin... As long as this race isn't the championship race Denny Hamlin has a good shot of winning here.  Las Vegas 1- Joey Logano... Logano has won this race two years in a row, so I wanna gamble on Logano making it three in a row. Phoenix 1- Kevin Harvick... The Desert King gets his crown back, Harvick eventually has to win another at Phoenix. Atlanta 1- Kevin Harvick... 20 Years after the passing of Dale Earnhardt, Kevin Harvick is the perfect driver to win this race. Bristol Dirt-  Christopher Bell... HOT TAKE ALERT... Christopher Bell is the best s...

NASCAR Championships Settled : Creed , Cindric , and Elliott Crowned Champions

Image
  Phoenix, Arizona The NASCAR championship seasons have formally ended. After what felt like to many in the industry to be the longest season ever as in ran in conjunction with the Covid-19 epidemic, NASCAR managed to return to competition this summer before any major sport. Three winner-takes-all events were held last weekend at Phoenix and three historic champions were crowned. Sheldon Creed won the NASCAR Gander RV and Outdoors Truck Series Championship after rushing from 8th to 1st in NASCAR Overtime on Friday night. Our team covered the final laps of the event during our live Racing Refresh weekly production. This is his first championship in NASCAR, and second truck-based championship as he also is a past champion in Robby Gordon's truck circuit.  In the Xfinity Series, the winningest driver on the circuit was not the winner, as would be the case in the Cup Series. Chase Briscoe was not able to pull off the feel-good story by winning at Phoenix, instead his rival and fel...
