- Hyak Motorsports announced Wednesday that they have a
new sponsor in Clemco, a manufacturer of abrasive blasting solutions. They will serve as the primary sponsor of Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s No. 47 Chevrolet at EchoPark Speedway in July and World Wide Technology Raceway in September. - Daytona International Speedway announced a full-fledged replacement of their track lighting system Thursday
morning. The track will move away from the elaborate lighting system that was installed in the winter of 1997-1998 to a brand-new Musco LED lighting system. There will also be accent lighting on track light poles that will be synchronized to the caution lights.
Preliminary work is already underway on the project. It will be completed in time for next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Frontstretch Line of the Week "We didn’t treat it like ‘been there, done that.’ I didn’t want [the second attempt] to feel like a repeat of the first attempt, so we treated that differently in the edit, but on the ground, we were there for everything. For me, it was important to be with him and to always be present, because you just never know when the moments that are meaningful are going to happen. So the only way to be sure you capture it is to be there." - Cynthia
Hill, on her process in regards to how she shot Kyle Larson vs. The Double. |
