Crewmember Spotlight: Premium Motorsports

Saved by the Bell Tires a Premium at Premium Motorsports By Ben White Christopher Bell, tire specialist for Premium Motorsports and driver Derrike Cope, found his way into NASCAR after completing his service in the military in 2014. Joining a Cup series team was the second item on his personal wish list after his return to civilian life. “I watched races when I was younger and have always loved the sport so I just got into it,” Bell said. “The first race I saw was on television and I was about 8 years old, somewhere in there. I was a Dale Earnhardt…

How it Works: NASCAR Green

  How It Works: NASCAR Green By Keith Waltz Since its launch in 2008, NASCAR Green has grown into the largest sustainability program in all of sports, and one of the most powerful and impactful green programs in the public and private sectors. Once coined “the dirtiest sport in America,” NASCAR now boasts the three largest green programs in sports: renewable energy, recycling and clean air. As a result, a 2013 study revealed that 75 percent of NASCAR fans say they “believe the sport cares for the environment” and are “aware of NASCAR Green.” Since the program’s inception, NASCAR has recycled more…

Lessons Learned at Pocono: No. 1

‘Rowdy’ Achieved Multiple Milestones With Pocono Victory Make no mistake about it: Kyle Busch’s victory on Sunday afternoon at Pocono was far from “just another win.” In addition to it marking Toyota’s 100th triumph in NASCAR’s top series, the win was also Busch’s first of 2017 and his first in 26 starts at the “Tricky Triangle.” There’s now only one track — Charlotte Motor Speedway — where Busch has yet to win a points-paying race in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, although he did capture the non-points-paying All-Star Race at Charlotte earlier this year. Busch, one of NASCAR’s fiercest competitors, is…

After all, Harvick and Busch have a bit of a checkered history together. But with Busch celebrating in Victory Lane, Harvick was notably chill about the bump that ultimately landed him a second-place finish. “The only chance I had (to keep the lead) was to get into the corner correctly,” Harvick said. “I got in there and was loose all the way through…
