NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY FAST FACTS

RECORD BOOK

▶▶ The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series heads to New England for the track’s lone race of 2018.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway hosted a fall race for the final time last season; Las Vegas now hosts a playoff race. The track’s flat corners force drivers to ride the ragged edge for 300 miles.

Matt Kenseth collected victories here in September of 2015 and July of 2016. Team Penske could also be heard from; Brad Keselowski won in July of 2014, and Joey Logano completed the team sweep that August. Six-time series champion Jimmie Johnson has three NHMS victories and he’ll be among the favorites.

▶▶ Jeff Burton tops the New Hampshire Motor Speedway win list with four victories. Six active drivers have each visited Victory Lane three times.

RACE REWIND ▶▶ Denny Hamlin stormed to his first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series victory of the 2017 season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Hamlin led 54 of 301 laps in the No. 11 Toyota, taking the checkered flag of the Overton’s 301 with a .509-second margin of victory over a fast-closing Kyle Larson.

A BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE? IS MARTIN TRUEX JR. PRIMED TO EARN HIS FIRST WIN AT NEW HAMPSHIRE?

BY JARED TURNER

M

artin Truex Jr. has won three of the past six races and rides into New Hampshire Motor Speedway on the heels of a dominant performance last weekend at Kentucky Speedway.

So is the reigning Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion the favorite?

Truex is winless in 24 starts at the 1.058mile track, but recent trips to the Granite

State have produced strong results for the Furniture Row Racing driver. There’s no good reason to bet against him this weekend.

“For us, Loudon has been an unbelievably good racetrack,” said Truex, who finished third and fifth, respectively, last season at NHMS. “We’ve led so many laps there the last few years and have not been able to get the win. I think for us it’s just to figure out how do we lead those last 75, 50 or 75.

We’ve always led the first 200, it seems like, or always been capable of it. It’s that last 100 or last 50 that we’ve struggled to be good enough.

come up with a game plan this week that’ll work for that.”

Truex, a native of Mayetta, New Jersey, would like nothing more than to finally break through at NHMS — which he has always viewed as a home track, of sorts.

“It’s an unbelievably special track to me because I’ve been going there for so long and spent a lot of my childhood there,” the driver of the No. 78 Toyota said.

“It’s really instrumental in my career as far as getting me to the Busch North series and the Busch Series and now the Cup Series. It was the first big track I ever won on, and the first time I ever went to a race and watched Cup cars run. So there’s just a lot of history there, and it would be a really big one to win. We’re working hard on it.”

With his victory at Kentucky last weekend, Truex is just

one win shy of the five wins recorded this season by both Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch. Collectively, the trio has captured 14 of the season’s first 19 races — and there’s a pretty good chance one of the three will be back in Victory Lane on Sunday.

“The three teams seem like they’re very close,” Truex said. “You think about the rules package and you think about the rules we have today and how many things

are scrutinized by NASCAR and just how difficult it is just to get these cars through tech alone. To think three teams have been able to figure it out consistently how to be better than everybody else is just, it’s pretty amazing.

“Is it good for the sport?

I don’t know. I really don’t care. My job is to go win races. My job is to win championships. And that’s

what I’m here to do. They keep changing rules, they can change things all they want, and we’re going to try to figure it out.”

As the playoffs draw ever closer, Truex remains confident about his shot at a second consecutive championship.

“For us, we just try to focus on what we’re doing, and just feeling more like we’re getting dialed into

the package and what we need to look for and the things that we need to work on is key for us,” he said.

“So from that standpoint, I feel like we’re right there, and if we can just keep the momentum going, sure, we can definitely feel like we have the upper hand.

“With that being said, it all changes when the playoffs start, and you’ve got to be ready for anything.”

FIVE TO WATCH AT NEW HAMPSHIRE

BY JARED TURNER

▶▶ A winner at New Hampshire last fall, Kyle Busch should once again be strong in the Granite State. After all, he’s a five-time winner this season and his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota has been fast virtually everywhere. ▶▶ No driver comes into New Hampshire on more of a roll than Martin Truex Jr., who seems to have closed any performance gap that might have once existed between himself and Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick. ▶▶ Kevin Harvick has cooled off a bit since his spectacular start to 2018, but don’t be surprised if the Stewart-Haas Racing driver finds his way back to Victory Lane this weekend at New Hampshire — where he’s a two-time winner. ▶▶ A three-time winner at New Hampshire, Denny Hamlin has a long history of success at NASCAR’s shorter, flatter tracks. Hamlin hasn’t won yet in 2018, so Loudon is a good opportunity for him to change that. ▶▶ With two victories to his credit, Clint Bowyer continues to enjoy his best season since 2012. Expect big things from Bowyer this weekend at New Hampshire, where he’s a two-time winner and always seems to excel.

F

or NASCAR fans, it’s a lot like Christmas. The only differences? The gifts come 10 months out of the year instead of just one, and they’re wrapped in a Speed Crate instead of a box.

By signing up and picking a driver at the Speed Crate website, https://speedcrate. co/, fans receive a monthly shipment of 4-5 - (3-5) items related to their driver of choice.

Speed Crate delivers right to your front door via the United States postal service.

Monthly subscriptions are priced at just $29.99, and the items in each monthly shipment amount to more than $50 in retail value. Items include apparel (shirts, hats, socks, etc.), accessories (credential holders, car decals, travel coffee mugs, lanyards, koozies, pens, flags, etc.) and much more.

“We’re really growing every day, which is really cool to see,” Cox said. “We know that we’ve really just scratched the surface of where we can go with it, because every day we have people inquiring, ‘What is Speed Crate? Where do I sign up?’ And all that stuff. So, we’re still really just being

introduced at this point.”

Fans never know exactly what they will find in a Speed Crate. They just know that all products in a Speed Crate come from officially licensed NASCAR partners and manufacturers.

“It changes every month,” Cox said. “We don’t do any duplicates. Our big thing is we’re not going to send you the same item twice.”

While Speed Crate’s inventory of NASCAR collectibles and paraphernalia is made up mostly of items you might find in souvenir trailers at the track, Speed Crate has expanded this season to include more custom-style merchandise. – a large portion of the items are actually not available at the track and many are custom so they cannot be found any where besides Speed Crate, not online or at the track For example, Alex Bowman — the new driver of the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet — recently donated some autographed Hero Cards that 10 lucky fans would receive in a future Speed Crate.

How difficult is it to not race weekly?

“It’s a bummer not being in the car every week. You miss your NASCAR family and having that edge of being competitive each week.”

How would you assess the few races you’ve run this year?

“I’d say we’ve raced pretty exceptional. The first one back we had some miscues. But Charlotte we finished 19th, so that was good!

And at Daytona Cup race, we rounded out to 16th – incredible day for sure.”

What are your goals for the rest of the season?

“We have six to seven more races planned.

So I’m excited for that. They’re closer together and so there will be less down time Hopefully, we can find some more sponsors for next year.”

MACQUEEN ENJOYS SETTING UP TEAM PENSKE’S FORDS

B

rian MacQueen, front end mechanic for Team Penske and driver Brad Keselowski, saw his first NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2000 while attending the Coca-Cola 600.

As a young teenager, the New Jersey native raced go-karts regularly throughout Pennsylvania and New York and occasionally in New Hampshire. His success there led to making a move to the bigger racing machines. MacQueen drove a pavement modified at Mountain (Pa.) Speedway in the summer between college semesters before finally making the decision to become a race car mechanic.

MacQueen moved to Georgia to join Cunningham Motorsports in ARCA competition in 2005. He continued with Cunningham when they

moved to North Carolina with Parker Kligerman as their driver. That turned into an Xfinity Series (then Nationwide Series) opportunity with Team Penske’s No. 22 Xfinity operation in 2009. Then in 2014, MacQueen worked with Roger Penske’s Indy Car team with driver Will Power before joining the Cup series team in 2015.

His job is to concentrate on front suspensions to make certain the proper chassis parts are on Keselowski’s Fords designed for short tracks or superspeedways.

“I’m working with upper control arms that limit travel, anti-roll bars and making sure there are no rubs and things like that,” McQueen said. “When we go in on Mondays or Tuesdays, we are already working on a complete race car. We are adjusting on things verses being concerned about actually building the car at the last minute.”

When crashes occur, MacQueen may have a great deal of work to do in a relatively short amount of time. There is a procedure he follows that insures the right adjustments are made when Keselowski comes to the garage for repairs.

“We take a bunch of pre-measurements in the shop or garage before practice starts,” MacQueen said. “If you were to get into the wall, if everything measures right, then you’re good to go. If something measures wrong, then you have to change out components on that corner of the car.”

Acknowledged as one of the country’s leading neurosurgeons, Dr. Jason Cormier has helped MSG provide a comprehensive, grassroots marketing campaign focused on preventative health care education and wellness training.

With an emphasis to educate and engage race fans in their growing role as health care consumers, the objective is to influence behavioral changes, to provide racing’s NEW HAMPSHIRE PREVIEW: JULY 19, 2018

SPOTLIGHT brand-loyal audience with the medical knowledge to make informed, preventative decisions that directly affect the wellness of their families.

One such area for preventative measures is spinal cord injuries (SCI). The incidence of SCI is highest among persons age 16-30, in whom 53.1 percent of injuries occur; more injuries occur in this age group than all other age groups combined. Males represent 81.2 percent of all report SCIs and 89.8 percent of all sports-related SCIs. Auto accidents are the leading cause of SCI in the United States for people age 65 and younger, while sports and recreation-related SCI injuries primarily affect people under age 29.

“In terms of prevention of these types of injuries, there are simple things a person can do like wearing a seatbelt and making sure all passengers are wearing a seatbelt,” Cormier said. “Make sure all car parts are up to date, and the rearview and side mirrors are adjusted to provide more attention to blind spots. Pay attention to the speed limit, and always avoid drunk driving or driving under

the influence of drugs.”

If a citizen happens to encounter a car accident in which a driver may have suffered a spinal cord injury, Cormier recommends the ABC steps – airway, breathing, circulation.

“When you approach any kind of trauma, it’s important to assess if the person has suffered a neck injury,” Cormier said. “Are they able to move their extremities without any difficulty? Outside of that, it’s important to take in-line cervical precautions by keeping the head in line with the neck and the neck in line with the body. Make sure there are no other red flags.”

For people 65 and older, falls are the leading cause of SCI. Cormier offered some preventative steps to avoid these types of injuries.

“Preventing these falls is about making sure there are no obstacles in the way at home,” Cormier said. “Make sure it’s well lit. Make sure medication doses are appropriate, and the floor is clear of debris. Don’t overly wax the floors without placing appropriate signs to keep free of traffic.”

hat began as a tobacco growing business in Cuba over 130 years ago, today has evolved into one of the world’s best cigar manufacturers. Melanio Oliva began growing tobacco in the fertile Pinar del Rio of Cuba in 1886.

Melanio’s son Hipolito took over from his father in 1920 eventually passing it on to his son Gilberto Oliva, Sr.

who continued the farming until Castro forced him out. Resourceful, Gilberto became a tobacco broker allowing him to travel and emigrate eventually to Nicaragua.

By 1969, Gilberto was growing tobacco once again, this time in Nicaragua whose rich soil and climate was close to that of his homeland. Ten years later the Sandanista revolution in

Nicaragua forced Gilberto to grow his tobacco elsewhere.

By 1995, with stability back in Nicaragua, Gilberto moved home to Esteli, and resumed his growing and added cigar making to his portfolio. After the cigar boom in the 90s, Gilberto continued making cigars, but being cash strapped like others after the boom, he was able to push ahead by using all the Nicaraguan tobacco

he had been accumulating.

His tobacco forced a change in the Oliva blends to all Nicaraguan tobacco and improved his quality.

The company’s offerings improved year after year.

By 2005, Oliva was being honored by Cigar Aficionado in its top 10 cigars of the year with the Oliva Serie O Classic scoring a 91. The following year, the Oliva Serie G Cameroon made the list of best cigars of the year with a 91. That same year,

Oliva released its Serie V to great acclaim and in 2007 it was rated 4th best cigar with a 93 rating.

Oliva cigars continually ranks as one of the best cigars of the year. In 2012, the family released a new Serie V the Melanio edition to honor the man who started it all. Two years later in 2014, the Serie V Melanio would be named the Cigar of the Year with a 96 rating! Near perfection. Just this year, the Serie V rated a 95 and

was the number 3 cigar of the year for 2017.

In addition, to the highly rated Serie cigars, Oliva also makes the Nub, which also makes the year’s best cigar list. In fact, Oliva cigars have remained on Cigar Aficionado’s top 25 cigars of the year for 12 years straight.

On top of that, Oliva believes in keeping prices in check.

The company’s cigars start at under $4 and go up to about $15. The highly rated Serie V belicoso is just over $8.00 depending on local taxes.

A SCORCHING HOT VICTORY RUDD TAKES A DIFFICULT CHECKERED FLAG AT MARTINSVILLE

BY BEN WHITE

O

n Sept. 28, 1998, Ricky Rudd, driver of his own No. 10 Rudd Performance Motorsports Ford, knew he was in trouble early into the NAPA Autocare 500 at Martinsville Speedway. For 3 ½ hours, he battled 160-degree heat inside his car while dealing with a faulty driver’s cooling unit. He was doused with water by his crew during pit stops, and it helped to make his difficult situation tolerable.

As the cockpit grew hotter, Rudd radioed crew chief Bill Ingle to have him search for a

driver that had been sidelined to stand by as his relief driver. Rudd stayed in the car and sealed the deal through sheer determination to finish the race. He led four occasions for 198 laps, including the final 96 before finally completing his mission over second-place Jeff Gordon. Rudd extended his streak of going to victory lane at least once in 16 consecutive seasons. The Chesapeake, Va. driver proved he was one of NASCAR’s toughest drivers.

“I knew I was in trouble from lap five,” Rudd said while lying down in victory lane. “I have blisters on my back and butt and everywhere else. I thought if we can get this win, I will enjoy it from a hospital room on Monday. We had a heck of a race car and it was a good deal to win this thing.”

Coolant leak failures can be repaired with K-Seal.

NOT YOUR GRANDFATHER’S STOP LEAK

C

oolant leak failures are one of the most common reasons for roadside breakdowns. It’s that dreaded feeling when you realize that you’ve got a coolant leak. Maybe it’s the radiator, or the water pump, or worse – the head or the block. You’re likely looking at a bill of hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars to get your vehicle

back on the road.

In the past, the early days, you may have been told to try adding pepper, egg, coffee grounds, or even mustard powder in the cooling system to get that leak stopped. More recently someone may have told you to try a stop leak common on the shelves of most auto parts stores.

But a lot of those products

contain sodium silicate or liquid glass, the same ingredient they used to seize the engines during “Cash for Clunkers.” Sure the radiator might have been plugged but often other parts of the cooling system were too!

But hold on. What if there was a safe way for you to get your trusty friend back on the road for less than

SPOTLIGHT the cost of a KFC family meal? Well there is, with K-Seal Multi-Purpose Permanent Coolant Leak Repair. Made in the USA, K-Seal is a global bestselling cooling system leak sealer with over 6 million bottles sold. It’s a favorite with professional technicians and here’s what a few of them had to say about it recently: “It’s like magic. If it was the 17th century those who make it would be burned at the stake.”

“It’s about the only thing I’ve heard that works. We sell it by the caseload.”

“I’ve repaired many a car with K-Seal and I know it works.”

(Actual testimonial from independent market survey

Dec 2017) We asked Patrick O’Brien, CEO of K-Seal, what makes K-Seal different from all the other stop leaks on the shelf? “K-Seal is the next generation stop leak technology,” O’Brien said. “We’ve developed a ceramic microfiber formula that is safe to use with all types of coolant / antifreeze. Plus, K-Seal was the first multi-purpose formula designed to fix leaks in all hard parts of the cooling system, including the head, head gasket, block, radiator, heater core, water pump casing and freeze plug. It’s safe to use in all water cooled engines from motor cycles right up to heavy duty trucks, and

everything in between. It even fixed a leak on a Top Fuel dragster, and when K-Seal makes a repair it is permanent. It’s way beyond your Grandfather’s old stop leak.”

“K-Seal is the only product to have been independently university tested to the ASTM standard for coolant leak repair products.

This means it will seal a leak when it’s meant to but it positively will not block even the narrowest waterways in the cooling system. Plus K-Seal is safe for use with aluminium heads including the Northstar block.” www.kseal.com
