Vickers and MWR to Honor National Champion Cardinalsby Justin Tucker
When Brian Vickers and the No. 55 Aaron's Dream Machine hit the track for the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky in two weeks, it will leave the field seeing red. Vickers, Michael Waltrip Racing, and Aaron's will honor the 2013 NCAA National Basketball Champion Louisville Cardinals with a special paint scheme during Quaker State 400 weekend at Kentucky Speedway from June 27th - 29th.
The No. 55 Toyota Camry will feature the Cardinal bird mascot on the hood along with the school's traditional red and black colors on the car. Vickers will also wear a special red, white, and black firesuit for the race, honoring the school which sits approximately 60 miles from the speedway.
"This will certainly help my popularity with local fans that weekend," Vickers said. "I'm a big fan of sports in general so to have the national champions on board is a huge honor. They are winners and it's always cool to surround yourself with success. Our goal is to make them proud."
University of Louisville Alumni and supporters can root on Vickers and the #55 by taking advantage of a special Cardinal Takeover ticket package which includes admission to the hospitality tent which includes food and complimentary beverages, a fan zone pass which provides race day admission to the infield and a track side view of the pre-race concert with Billy Currington. More info regarding the Cardinal Takeover ticket package can be found at http://www.kentuckyspeedway.com/tickets/cardinal_takeover/.
Finch Eyes Indy as Final Race for Phoenix Racing
James Finch, who owns Phoenix Racing, has decided that enough is enough. The organization has struggled for the last two seasons finding full-time sponsorship for the No. 51 Sprint Cup Series and No. 1 Nationwide Series efforts. On Wednesday evening, Finch confirmed that after this Summer he would be done with racing.
"This is my last year racing hopefully it will be in July in the Brickyard," Finch told WMBB.com. "I am talking to some people that might buy the race team and if they do I might stay with them a few months. After that I will not invest any more money in it after this race in July."
Phoenix Racing started out the 2013 season with Guy Roofing as the primary sponsor for the No. 51 in the Daytona 500 and two other races, but since that point Finch and Phoenix have been in search of sponsor to keep their Cup Series effort alive.

Valvoline Partners With Red Horse Racing
Earlier this week, Red Horse Racing announced a new partnership with Valvoline, manufacturer of the NextGen recycled motor oil. Valvoline NextGen will serve as primary sponsor for Timothy Peters for the UNOH 225 at Kentucky Speedway on June 27th and another race yet to be named. In addition, they'll also provide associate sponsorship for all three of the RHR trucks.
"This comes at a great time for our Valvoline team," Tom Gerrald, vice president of Installer Channels said. "Red Horse Racing is the premier NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team on and off the race track and we couldn't be happier about partnering with them. As the manufacturer of the first trademarked lubricant oil, first racing oil, first high-mileage oil and first major national brand to introduce a premium recycled motor oil, Valvoline wants to be there to help Red Horse Racing bring home its first championship title."
RHR fields three full-time Truck Series entries with Timothy Peters, German Quiroga and Jon Wes Townley. The trio has combined for five top-10 results in seven races, including Quiroga's record-setting third-place finish last week at Texas Motor Speedway.
LVMS Nationwide Race Gets New Name For 2014
Las Vegas Motor Speedway's Nationwide Series race will have a new name beginning in the 2014 season. Though the parent-company sponsorship remains the same, the Sam's Town 300 has been rebranded as the Boyd Gaming 300.
"With our recent extension, Boyd Gaming is looking forward to celebrating our 20th anniversary as the sole corporate sponsor of the Nationwide Series race since it began in 1997," said Paul Chakmak, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Boyd Gaming. "The new name we've selected - the Boyd Gaming 300 - reflects what the race has become over the years, a marquee event for our customers across the country. We are thrilled that the Boyd Gaming 300 has grown into one of the premier events on theLas Vegassports calendar and one of the most well-attended races in the Nationwide Series. Boyd Gaming looks forward to more successful years of partnership with our friends at LVMS."
Tickets for the 2014 race weekend are on sale at www.lvms.com or by calling the speedway's ticket office at 800-644-4444. Neon Garage tickets, Lucky 7 preferred parking and driver introduction passes are also available.

They Said It:
"I always love racing at Michigan, and it's even more special to be able to support the Give Kids A Smile program there. As a parent with a toddler, I want to do everything I can to protect my daughter's health and teach her good lifelong habits. When you consider how much dental health impacts children's ability to learn, self-confidence and overall quality of life, you want to do everything you can to help them be healthy. For children in need, it is even more of a challenge, so I'm proud to be running the Give Kids A Smile car to help promote good dental health for children in need." Greg Biffle
"My dad worked on sprint cars when I was little so I grew up learning about racing. He taught me about the cars, and I also wanted to race and ultimately race for my dad at some point. Because of him is why I race cars and why I got into it. He was the one who taught me first off about the cars, how they worked, how to work on them and I enjoyed it. I've learned a lot from him over the years, and it's been great having him around and having his support at all my races." Kasey Kahne
"Michigan has always been one of my favorite tracks on the circuit. I've got a Cup win there and would love to win on the Nationwide side. This week will be my first time at Michigan since the repave, so that will be something new for me. I've always liked intermediate tracks. We've done pretty good on intermediate tracks so far this season, but we need to be just a little better there." Brian Vickers

Keepin' It Short: Learning to Race a Tour With the UARA-STARS
by Mike Neff
The series was developed with the idea of letting local racers who wanted to hone their skills and advance to the next level of racing compete with the drivers who simply wanted to race at a variety of tracks on a respectable budget, rather than spending their whole race season at one or two local tracks. The 3,100 pound cars run 500 hp V-8 engines and run on 10 inch Hoosier racing tires.
The schedule is put together to emphasize racing ability and endurance while not breaking the bank. It also exposes the drivers to the demands of being a touring series racer with demands such as fan availability, media requirements, live race broadcasts and intense inspection processes.
Some former UARA drivers who have moved on to bigger and better series:
Matt DiBenedetto – 2007 Rookie of the year and Nationwide Series Driver.
Steve Wallace – Nationwide Series Driver
Austin Dillon – 2011 Camping World Truck Series Champion
Ty Dillon – 2011 ARCA Series Champion
Ben Rhodes – Camping World Truck Series Driver
Coleman Pressley – 2010 Series Champion and Nationwide Series Driver
Kyle Grissom – 2005 Rookie of the year and 2012 PASS Southern Division Champion
John King III – 2012 Camping World Truck Series Daytona Winner
Corey LaJoie – Richard Petty Development Driver
Matt McCall – 2-time series champion and RCR Race Engineer
This weekend the series heads to Anderson South Carolina to run the UARA-STARS 150 at the Anderson Motor Speedway. The tight track offers some intense racing and a great atmosphere in an easy to access venue. If you are near the Georgia/South Carolina border along I-85 this Friday, take a trip over to see some of the future stars of stock car racing in action.
Whelen All-American National Championship Battle
While the top three in the national points did not compete this past week, Anthony Anders barely held onto fourth place by picking up 12 points while C.E. Falk made a big move, notching two wins and adding 78 points to his total. While he didn't move up in the rankings, he did climb within 163 points of the top spot. Falk continues to dominate at Langley Speedway, and more quality wins will put him right in the mix for the National Title. Keith Rocco also took a big bite out of the point lead this week, winning two races himself and adding 82 points to his season total. He and Falk both have 15 races in the books so they will still be able to add some significant points over the next couple of weeks until they get to the maximum 18 races.
