A DESERVING WINNER. Clint Bowyer, seen shaking hands with NASCAR Vice Chairman Mike Helton, made sure he cashed the winning ticket with a determined charge on two new tires as rain threatened Michigan International Speedway. Bowyer got the lead under caution at the end of Stage 2 of Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 when crew chief Mike Bugarewicz opted for two tires on the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford.

5 THE FORDS WERE FORD TOUGH AT MICHIGAN

BY JARED TURNER

A

ny race at Michigan International Speedway is a big one for both Ford and Chevrolet, whose respective headquarters are just down the road from the track in Dearborn and Detroit, respectively. It was the Blue Oval boys celebrating on Sunday, however, as Ford drivers took seven of the top eight finishing positions while the highest-finishing Chevy driver, Chase Elliott, came home in ninth.

Fourth-place finisher Kyle Busch, a Toyota driver who was the highestfinishing non-Ford, admitted that the Fords were pretty much in a league of their own. “We were the lone Toyota up there fighting with all the Blue Ovals, so, you know, they were super, super fast,” said Busch, whose Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota failed to lead a lap for only the fifth time in 15 races this season. “They go down the straightaways really quick, and we had to struggle to be able to outrun them there.”

4 IT SOMETIMES PAYS TO GAMBLE

C

lint Bowyer didn’t have the best car on Sunday at Michigan.

But his crew chief, Mike Bugarewicz, made the right call when it counted — and the result was Bowyer going to Victory Lane for the second time in the 2018 season. With rain in the area and the rest of the frontrunners opting for four fresh Goodyear Eagles under the caution period at the end of the second stage, Bugarewicz gambled with a two-tire call that gave Bowyer the lead for the restart to begin Stage 3. Then, despite being on older rubber than the other leaders, Bowyer managed to hold on until the rain came fewer than five laps later and ultimately ended the race 67 laps early. While celebrating in a makeshift Victory Lane bereft of wetness, Bowyer gave credit where credit was due. “That was a gutsy call,” he said of the decision to take two tires only.

STEWARTHAAS RACING IS ON FIRE

O

n Sunday at Michigan, Stewart-Haas Racing continued its dominance of the 2018 season with arguably its most impressive performance yet as the organization swept the top three finishing positions led by race winner Clint Bowyer. SHR’s Kevin Harvick and teammate Kurt Busch finished second and third, respectively, after combining to lead over 70 percent of the race. A fourth SHR car, driven by first-year SHR driver Aric Almirola, finished 11th. Now, as the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series prepares for a rare off weekend, SHR has four drivers in the top 11 in the standings (including three drivers in the top seven). If the playoffs began today, all four SHR drivers would make the cut, and SHR drivers would make up exactly one-fourth of the championship field. No matter what happens over the rest of the regular season, SHR is guaranteed to have no fewer than two drivers in the playoffs.

2 LARSON’S BID FOR FOUR IN A ROW WAS UNINSPIRING

P

rior to racing Sunday at Michigan, Kyle Larson admitted he hadn’t given a lot of thought to the possibility of winning a fourth consecutive Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at the 2-mile track. “It’s honestly just another race to me,” the driver of the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet said during his Friday media availability.

Larson’s performance on Sunday did little to suggest he felt otherwise.

Arriving at Michigan with a chance to join NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott as the only drivers to win four consecutive races at MIS, Larson finished an unimpressive 28th after incurring damage to his car’s front splitter from a spin into the grass on lap 85. Any way you slice it, it’s fair to say that Larson’s bid for four in a row at Michigan didn’t go as the Elk Grove, California driver, his team or anyone else, expected.

1 HARVICK CUT BOWYER SOME MAJOR SLACK

D

riving probably the best car, Kevin Harvick deserved to win at Michigan. It didn’t happen, however, thanks to a rainstorm that ended the race 67 laps prematurely with Harvick in second-place behind teammate Clint Bowyer. Harvick won the second stage, led a race-high 49 laps and was faster than Bowyer, but gave Bowyer extra room to race while the two battled for the lead in the moments after the final stage began. Had Harvick been more aggressive, he could have slid up in front of Bowyer and probably claimed his sixth win of the season. Instead, Bowyer was able to hold the lead until rain began to fall four laps into the final stage. The race never resumed, and NASCAR called the race official with Bowyer in P1, ahead of Harvick. “I was able to just get by him because he left me room and was courteous and a good teammate,” Bowyer said.

BRING ON THE OFF-WEEKEND

BY JARED TURNER

D

rivers and teams were understandably pretty giddy to get out of Michigan on Sunday, considering that next up is a much-deserved break over the upcoming off-weekend for Father’s Day. For years, NASCAR’s premier series raced on Father’s Day — but as more and more drivers have become new dads in recent years, NASCAR has, quite appropriately, made an effort to adjust the schedule so that drivers can have the holiday off and spend it at home or on vacation with their families. It’s a good move and one certainly worthy of applause.

Thankfully, the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series schedule likewise does not include a Father’s Day race. Let’s hope NASCAR sticks with this plan for many years to come, because it’s a win-win for everyone involved in the sport — especially the dads who race on most Sunday afternoons from midFebruary through late November.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH SEVEN-TIME? Just when it seemed like Jimmie Johnson might finally be turning a corner in what has been a terribly disappointing 2018 season, the seven-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champ laid a huge egg on Sunday at Michigan where he finished 20th — same position he started in — after struggling to MICHIGAN REARVIEW: JUNE 4, 2018

A SPEED CRATE SURPRISE FANS RECEIVE PACKAGES IN MAIL RELATED TO FAVORITE DRIVERS

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.

subscribers. That number has since nearly quadrupled.

“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.

SPOTLIGHT “We think that the more we can just provide really cool products that fans want, the more Speed Crate will grow,” Cox said.

“That’s kind of what we’re doing.”

Speed Crate originally featured just 12 drivers from whom subscribers could choose. Now there are 20 active drivers and one retired driver — NASCAR’s 15-time most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Subscriptions are on a month-to-month basis, and subscribers are free to change drivers at any time. Tired of getting Chase Elliott gear, for example? You can switch to Brad Keselowski or someone else with a simple click — and not be charged extra. Speed Crate ships items FebruaryNovember and takes a break in December and January to beef up its inventory for the upcoming NASCAR season.

Perhaps the best news of all? Speed Crate is looking to broaden its inventory even more in the months and years to come.

“People want die-casts and some other items that aren’t the easiest to get, and we’re working hard to make that happen,” Cox said. “We’re listening to the feedback and making sure we’re kind of adjusting with what people want to see.”

Oliver Romano recently opened his own Tier 1 PIRTEK location in Grand Rapids, MI, after working for years at PIRTEK franchises in the Detroit area.

PIRTEK MAKES FRANCHISE OWNERSHIP MORE ACCESSIBLE TO MORE PEOPLE

BY JARED TURNER

S

uppose someone wishes to open a franchise in an industry where he or she has never actually worked. In many cases, it’s no problem – hands-on experience in the field isn’t necessarily a prerequisite.

Still, it doesn’t hurt to have the extra edge.

At PIRTEK, the world’s leading hydraulic and

industrial hose replacement service, it’s fairly common to see former employees venture out and acquire PIRTEK franchises – even though industry experience is not necessary.

They believe in the company and want to join the ranks of franchisees themselves.

One example is Oliver Romano, owner of PIRTEK Grand Rapids in Grand Rapids, MI. Romano worked at several PIRTEK locations in the Detroit area, eventually moving up to be a partner and general manager before launching a franchise on the other side of the state. “I started out there [Detroit] as a technician,” he said.

MICHIGAN REARVIEW: JUNE 4, 2018

SPOTLIGHT “But I was really involved, working with the business, pushing sales.”

In 2016, PIRTEK opened up franchise ownership to a larger group with the rollout of its Tier 2, mobile-only option. Under the Tier 2 model, a franchisee can lease two vehicles and keep all the inventory in a storage facility – there’s no need for a physical store. It allows PIRTEK ownership at a significantly lower point of entry than the traditional Tier 1 model, which includes a Service & Supply Center.

The plan for Tier 2 locations is to upgrade into full, Tier 1 businesses within three years. So far, it’s working well.

“The Tier 2 locations hit profitably in a shorter period of time, because they have less overhead compared to a Tier 1,” said Glenn Duncan, CEO of PIRTEK. “They’re more sales-focused, too. They don’t have a home base, so they’re out in the field a lot. In fact, some current Tier 2 locations are talking about expanding into a Tier 1 earlier than three years because of customer demand.”

Romano is one such owner. He opened his mobile-only Grand Rapids location in March 2017. A year later, he had already upgraded to a Tier 1 Service & Supply Center at 3504 Roger B. Chaffee Memorial Drive, Grand Rapids, MI 49548.

“My customers wanted a physical location, so I set it up,” said Romano, also a shareholder in four other PIRTEK in Michigan: Madison Heights, Sterling Heights, Westland and Wixom. “Having a store, a physical location helps develop the brand.”

PIRTEK Grand Rapids serves a wide region of western Michigan that includes Kalamazoo, Holland and Muskegon. The location has also served customers in such far-flung cities as Traverse City. When a hydraulic or pneumatic hose fails on a piece of machinery within the coverage area, PIRTEK technicians arrive onsite in Mobile Service Vehicles to perform the repair.

“Instead of someone at the factory having to shop around town for the right hose, we just take care of it,” Romano said. “All the

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 MICHIGAN REARVIEW: JUNE 4, 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.”

UPGRADING TO LEDS ENHANCES SAFETY

L

ooking for longer lasting, safer, more aesthetically pleasing lighting for the interior or exterior of your vehicles?

Consider switching from incandescent bulbs to LEDs, because compatibility with your vehicle certainly won’t be a problem and the benefits will be quickly seen.

SYLVANIA, the world’s leader in automo¬tive lighting, offers 150

mini LED bulbs, 75 each in two LED families, that work in cars, trucks, campers, boats, four-wheelers, ATVs and various other forms of transportation, anything 12V. The ZEVO family of LED mini bulbs comes with a lifetime warranty adding to the benefit of LED. “Upgrading to LED technology on the interior of your vehicle, your lights become brighter and whiter,” said Brian Noble, marketing manager for OSRAM SYLVANIA. “Everything becomes more easily seen. So if you were to drop a pen or your kids’ drop french fries on the

More and more drivers are making the move from halogen headlights to HID or LED headlights in their brand new cars.

In fact, 10 percent of all vehicles on the road now use LED or HID headlights as the original equipment choice.

A lot of the newer vehicles may have LED or HID headlights but still come with halogen fog lights because of the difference in cost between technologies.

Because of this,

SPOTLIGHT floor, you can see them.

It’s a big improvement over incandescent bulbs. There’s a safety side of it too; when you open up the car, it is all visible and there are no shadows or dark spots. So that’s the interior side. As we move outside the car, those third brake lights and turn lights on a lot of newer cars are moving to LED. And LED gives you a new style, which can be gained with the new LED replacement bulbs” As great as it might be to have more modern-looking lights, it’s the safety enhancements of

LED mini bulbs that really set them apart.

“LEDs light up faster, so they’re on/off almost instantly, versus an incandescent bulb that warms up and cools down,” Noble said. “That instant-on/off, when you’re talking highway speeds, equals about 18 feet that somebody could see your vehicle sooner as you’re hitting the brakes or making a turn. Drivers around you can make a better decision.

Eighteen feet is almost the length of an average car, so you look at that and say, ‘We

really are affecting people’s lives if you install these LED brake lights.’ Somebody is going to see your action sooner,so they can react sooner – especially in this day and age of distracted driving.

Seeing something sooner is always a good thing.”

And a safer, brighter option is always better.

“I’d rather keep somebody’s front bumper out of my trunk all day long,” Noble said.

“When your kids are the ones in the backseat, you definitely don’t want somebody hitting you back there.”

CHECKS TWO BOXES - CON’T created ZEVO LED fog lights where drivers can kick the halogen foglight out with the new “plug and play” LED bulbs, as SYLVANIA’s Brian Noble described.

SYLVANIA’s new premium ZEVO LED bulb, empowers you to update your vehicle’s fog lights with the stylish look of an LED direct replacement bulb to match your HID or LED headlights. Engineered to

provide the ultimate in style and durability, the ZEVO bulbs are guaranteed to turn heads.

World-class manufacturing and high quality materials guarantee ZEVO bulbs an extended lifetime, along with a 5 year warranty (5X better than the halogen bulbs warranty).

“Put the LED bulb in, and the front of the vehicle will

look cleaner as you are driving down the road,” Noble said. “Everything will be a similar color, which is really important for those people worried about the aesthetics of their car. A car is a representation of the driver, in a lot of cases. There’s the ‘I want this car to get me from Point A to Point B, but I also want this vehicle to represent who I am.’”

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

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.

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.

eff Gordon, driver of the Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, collected five Cup series wins at Sonoma Raceway, the last coming on June 25, 2006. The native of nearby Vallejo, Calif., led the final 44 laps of the 110-lap race and sealed the deal with a pass for the lead over teammate Terry Labonte on Lap 88. Team Penske’s Ryan Newman also passed Labonte in the closing laps to secure a second-place finish.

Gordon also enjoyed victories on the 1.9mile road course in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2004 prior to securing the win in front of a crowd

of 102,000. Gordon did not lead the field until gaining the top position with 22 laps remaining. The talented road course ace had mastered Sonoma Raceway so many times in the past taught him exactly when to make his move for the victory.

Gordon was able to miss the multi-car accident that involved J.J. Yeley, Dale Jarrett, Bobby Labonte and Reed Sorenson in turn two with four laps remaining.

“I have always enjoyed Sonoma Raceway in part because I have friends and family there,” Gordon said. “It’s a track that’s been so good to me over the years. Every time we went there, we knew we had a real shot to win, thanks to Hendrick Motorsports and a great crew. The 2006 win was my last there but a very special win.”

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!

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.”

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
