Goodyear And NASCAR Extend Historic Partnership

Goodyear And NASCAR Extend Historic Partnership

Goodyear Remains Exclusive Tire Supplier Across All Three National Series;

Renewed Multi-Year Agreement Extends Six Decades of Partnership

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 18, 2017) – NASCAR and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company today announced a renewed sponsorship agreement that ensures Goodyear is the exclusive tire of NASCAR's top three national series.

The newly signed agreement continues Goodyear's designation as the "Official Tire of NASCAR" and extends an uninterrupted relationship that started in 1954. Goodyear and NASCAR's six decades of partnership is one of the longest-running sponsor programs in any sport. In addition, Goodyear has been the exclusive tire supplier for the sanctioning body's top three series since 1997.

"We proudly join Goodyear in celebrating our renewed and longstanding partnership," said Brent Dewar, NASCAR president. "For more than half a century, NASCAR and our teams have trusted Goodyear tires. Our partners' commitment to innovation and excellence plays a key role in our unyielding pursuit to deliver the best racing product in the world."

From the introduction of the radial tire to NASCAR in 1989 to multi-zone tread design in 2013, Goodyear and NASCAR have consistently innovated to deliver compelling racing. NASCAR has served as a proving ground for Goodyear, preparing and supplying tires that meet the most grueling and demanding conditions. The technology that goes into a tire to withstand and perform in those conditions helps inform and differentiate Goodyear's consumer tires.

"We are tremendously proud of the pivotal role Goodyear plays in the best racing competition in the world and excited that NASCAR drivers will be crossing the finish line on Goodyear tires in the years ahead," said Rich Kramer, chairman, CEO and president of Goodyear. "With this new agreement in place, we celebrate our enduring relationship with NASCAR and the continuing value of NASCAR to the Goodyear brand"

Each tire Goodyear produces for NASCAR's top three national series are custom-built by the hands of passionate Goodyear associates in Akron, Ohio – Goodyear's global headquarters – and donned with the name of the employee who helped produce it.

The depth of the relationship has been built on competition, shared passion and brand growth for the two organizations. Goodyear's industry-leading brand has been amplified through the duration of the relationship generating awareness for the tiremaker with NASCAR's passionate fan base. According to a Turnkey Sports & Entertainment sponsor loyalty survey conducted for SportsBusiness Journal/Daily in 2016, Goodyear has been the most recognized sponsor in NASCAR for the past five consecutive years.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion will be crowned following the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, November 19 at 3 p.m. ET on NBC, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Late-Race Contact Propels Brandon Setzer To $15,000 PASS Win At Hickory

Late-Race Contact Propels Brandon Setzer To $15,000 PASS Win At Hickory

For Immediate Release

HICKORY, NC (November 18) – Hometown favorite Brandon Setzer took the lead after contact with Garrett Hall coming to the white flag to go on and win the Mason-Dixon MegMeltdown 300 for the Pro All Star Series (PASS) Super Late Models Saturday afternoon at Hickory Motor Speedway. Setzer's third PASS Super Late Model win was the biggest of his career as he took home the $15,000 winner's prize.

"He [Hall] had the best car, I hate it ended like that, but the lapped car just screwed him up," said Setzer, driver of the Romeo Guest Construction/The Jewelry Exchange Ford #6. "As soon as he [Hall] went to the outside I saw the lapped car waving to the inside and I said, 'Oh, I've got a hole,' I filled the hole, he tried to come back down, but at that point I couldn't back out. Man, this means the world to me. I could've won the Daytona 500 and not be this happy."

In qualifying, Kodie Conner beat two-time PASS North champion Travis Benjamin by 0.001 seconds to claim his second career pole. After the top 10 qualifiers redraw, former PASS champions DJ Shaw and Tate Foglemanwould move to the front row, while Conner moved back to the fifth starting position.

The 300 lapper got off to a slow start with five cautions in the first 21 laps, including one on a lap 17 restart that knocked 2017 PASS South Super Late Model champion, Matt Craig, and Garrett Evans from contention. Shaw and Fogleman would trade the lad back and forth before Shaw would eventually settle for the lead on lap 38. By this time, Cassius Clark, whose team had struggled to cross the American/Canadian border for four days before arriving just in time for the race, had charged from the rear of the field into the top 10.

Shaw would pit on lap 99 after a caution for the stalled car of Jeff Batten, handing the lead over to Benjamin. After making it as high as fourth, Clark would have to pit under green on lap 125 with a flat left rear tire, losing three laps in the process. Another group of leaders pitted on lap 130 after Roy Hayes made contact with the turn four wall, but Benjamin again stayed out and continued to lead.

While Cole Butcher and Spencer Davis would take turns up front, Benjamin would make his way back to the front each time. But, Benjamin would pull to a stop while leading on lap 183 after his car ran out of fuel. On the restart, Garrett Hall would take the lead from Davis for the first time in the race. On lap 225, Derek Ramstrom spun from third allowing Setzer, Shaw and others to pit for four tires, while Hall stayed out to maintain the lead. The final caution of the night would wave when Dennis Spencer, Jr. spun entering turn three, collecting Clark and Gracie Trotter. With the free pass, Benjamin would be able to take the pass around to get back on the lead lap.

Hall continued to lead with Setzer in his tire tracks over the final laps. Shaw moved into third, until Benjamin came charging through the field to take the spot with 19 laps to go. Hall and Setzer continued to weave their way through lapped traffic until they encountered the car of David Calabrese. With two laps to go, as they entered turn three, Hall looked to pass Calabrese on the outside. Calabrese instead moved up, causing Hall to check up. Setzer took advantage of the opening, turning inside Hall and making contact. Hall spun up the track causing Benjamin to check up while Setzer would go on to take the win over Shaw, Conner, Davis and Ben Rowe, who claimed his fifth PASS National Championship. Rounding out the top 10 were Hall, Travis Stearns, Nicholas Naugle, Benjamin, and Spencer.

The Mason-Dixon MegaMeltdown 300 from Hickory will air on MAV TV in mid-January, 2018 so please check local listings. Look for more on the newly crowned champions, Ben Rowe and Matt Craig, later this week.

The 2017 PASS Super Late Model is complete, but continue to monitor ProAllStarsSeries.com over the coming weeks for more on the upcoming season. Be sure to "Like" the Pro All Stars Series on Facebook or follow us on Twitter at @PASSSLM14.

Martin Truex Jr. Wins 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship

Martin Truex Jr. Wins 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship

Jones Takes Sunoco Rookie of the Year; Toyota Captures Manufacturers' Title

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 19, 2017) – Following a long and winding road, Martin Truex Jr. finally owns the biggest prize in motorsports.

The driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota capped off a dominant season in fitting fashion –by capturing the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship with a stirring victory in Sunday's Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

To take the title, Truex outdueled his Championship 4 competitors Kyle Busch (second), Kevin Harvick (fourth) and Brad Keselowski (seventh).

The Mayetta, New Jersey, native was the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series' best driver all year, winning the regular season championship on the strength of four victories.

Once the playoffs began, Truex upped his performance to another level, recording a top-five finish in every postseason race except for Talladega. He won four times, including the playoff-opening race at Chicagoland, twice in the Round of 12 (Charlotte and Kansas) and the season finale at Homestead.

Truex finished the season with career highs in wins (8), top fives (19), top 10s (26) and laps led (2,250). He led the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in all those stat categories.

Truex's title also marks the first championship for Denver, Colorado-based Furniture Row Racing and owner Barney Visser.

A two-time NASCAR XFINITY Series champion, Truex joins Busch, Harvick, Keselowski and Bobby Labonte as the fifth driver in history with both an XFINITY and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series title.

He is the first champion from New Jersey.

Truex's teammate Erik Jones captured the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Sunoco Rookie of the Year. Driving the No. 77 Furniture Row Racing Toyota, Jones scored a rookie-high five top fives and 14 tops 10s.

On the strength of 16 victories, Toyota won its second-consecutive Monster Energy Series Manufacturers' Championship.

GP3R 2018 : dates dévoilées et billets en vente

Trois-Rivières, le 17 novembre 2017 - Les dates de la 49e édition du Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières sont confirmées, alors que les célébrations du cinquantenaire du Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières se poursuivront les 4, 5, 10, 11 et 12 août prochain, pour deux week-ends chargés d'action.

Les billets sont déjà en vente pour l'édition 2018 du GP3R, qui verra le Championnat du monde FIA de rallycross et la NASCAR Pinty's revenir comme séries phares de chacun des week-ends.

La programmation des deux fins de semaine s'annonce déjà bien remplie, alors que le rallycross national du Challenge Extrême Élite, la Formula Drift Canada, l'AMA Supermoto Cogeco et les Superquads Elka seront de retour les 4 et 5 août, suivis du Challenge Porsche Ultra 94 GT3 Cup Canada, du CTCC, de la Coupe Nissan Micra et du Formula Tour 1600 du 10 au 12 août.

« L'édition 2017 nous a démontré que nous avions établi une base solide à notre programmation. Nous voulons consolider ces acquis qui sont appréciés par nos passionnés. Évidemment, nous travaillons encore sur quelques possibles ajouts-surprises », indique Dominic Fugère, directeur général du GP3R.

Signées par Acolyte Communication, les couleurs de l'édition 2018 du GP3R reprennent également le signe de la continuité du demi-siècle. Les couleurs et formes qui rappellent les 50 ans d'histoire du GP3R cohabitent avec les vedettes du sport motorisé d'aujourd'hui.

« Le Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières fait partie intégrante du patrimoine de notre région, mentionne Emmanuelle Clément, chargée de comptes chez Acolyte. C'est un pilier de l'événementiel ! Nous avons voulu profiter du 50e anniversaire de l'événement pour rendre hommage aux bâtisseurs de cette histoire, et surtout aux amateurs. Imaginée pour vivre trois ans en différentes déclinaisons, la nouvelle identité visuelle abonde en ce sens : un design inspiré des premières éditions du Grand Prix jumelé à la nouvelle réalité des sports extrêmes.

Un équilibre entre passé et modernité, gage d'un futur plus prometteur que jamais. » Les différents outils promotionnels verront ainsi Johan Kristoffersson, vainqueur du GP3R en 2017 et champion du monde de rallycross FIA, être pourchassé par un autre champion, Mattias Ekström. On reconnaît également le champion 2017 en série NASCAR Pinty's, Alex Labbé, et sa voiture Can-Am/Kappa n°32. Labbé, qui est pressenti pour courir en série NASCAR Xfinity l'an prochain, démontre que le GP3R met non seulement en vedette les meilleurs pilotes de leur discipline, mais que l'événement sert toujours de tremplin aux les pilotes de la relève, comme il le fait depuis le début.

Le Shawiniganais Tommy Lemieux, pilote en AMA Supermoto, fait aussi partie des têtes d'affiche. Blessé lors de la dernière édition du GP3R, il entend bien faire un retour en force en 2018, alors qu'il courra avec l'équipe américaine RSR avec qui il a terminé la saison. C'est d'ailleurs une photo de son passage à Sturgis, au Dakota du Sud, qui apparaît sur l'image de la 49e édition du GP3R. « Après avoir dû rater l'édition 2017, j'ai hâte de revenir en piste au GP3R. De plus, ma nouvelle association avec l'équipe RSR me motive encore plus, sans compter que j'aurai la chance de courir chez nous, devant tous mes proches », partage le pilote.

Baisse de prix pour le rallycross

Les billets de la 49e édition du GP3R sont en vente au GP3R.com ou à la billetterie de la salle J.-Antonio-Thompson au 1-866-416-9797. Les prix des billets d'admission générale ont été harmonisés à 66$, plus taxes et frais de service, ce qui représente une économie de 13$ par personne pour le rallycross. Les billets d'estrades réservées demeurent à 119$ pour le week-end Rallycross (gradin Stade), et 129$ pour le week-end NASCAR (gradins Stade, Villeneuve et Germain). En achetant leurs billets avant le 31 décembre 2017, durant la promotion

Achetez tôt, les amateurs recevront gratuitement un laissez-passer de gradin réservé exclusif pour le spectacle pyromusical La Magie des Feux GP3R, qui aura lieu le 11 août 2018.

De plus, ces clients hâtifs seront admissibles au tirage d'un surclassement de billets. Les clients ayant acheté une paire de billets d'admission générale pourraient voir leurs places se transformer en paire de billets pour le Monster Party Deck ou le Club Garage. Les détenteurs de billets de gradins réservés pourraient remporter une paire de billets de Loge Privilège.

Christopher Bell Wins 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship

Christopher Bell Wins 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship

Briscoe Takes Sunoco Rookie of the Year; Toyota Captures Manufacturer Title

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 17, 2017) – Youth has been served once more in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Christopher Bell, 22, completed an outstanding sophomore campaign by capturing the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship following Friday night's Ford EcoBoost 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

To capture the crown, Bell, who finished second, outdueled fellow Championship 4 contenders Johnny Sauter (third-place finish), Austin Cindric (fifth) and Matt Crafton (sixth) at the South Florida track.

At 22 years, 11 months, 1 day, Bell is the fourth-youngest champion in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series history.

Scoring a series-high five wins and winning the regular season championship, Bell dominated the 2017 season to earn a second-consecutive spot in the Championship 4. Bell punched his ticket to the playoffs early, winning the second race of the season at Atlanta. From there he continued his winning ways with regular season victories at Texas, Kentucky and Pocono. Bell's momentum continued in the playoffs, where he captured a win in the playoff opener at New Hampshire.

Bell finished this season with five wins, and series highs in both top fives (15) and top 10s (21).

A former dirt standout, Bell will run fulltime with Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR XFINITY Series in 2018.

Bell's No. 4 Toyota won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Owner Championship, the fifth consecutive title for Kyle Busch Motorsports, and sixth overall. The No. 4 Toyota also won the owner title in 2015 with driver Erik Jones.

Chase Briscoe captured the 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Sunoco Rookie of the Year. Driving for Brad Keselowski Racing, Briscoe ended the season in stirring fashion, collecting his career-first win, at Homestead, to collect his 10th top five of the season.

Toyota won its record-extended 10th Manufacturers Championship, and fifth in a row. After a strong season that included 12 victories, a single Toyota needed only to start tonight's race to ensure the title.
