he Original Larry’s Hard Lemonade® dubbed “Larry’s Lemonade” was first concocted in the backyard of none other than the man himself “Larry”. This local favorite began gaining ground throughout the markets of Hampton Roads, Virginia all the way to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After much success, excitement, and incredible growth Larry was hit with the terrible news that he had cancer. With family, friends, and his Lemon Crew beside him Larry reminded them of their company motto “When Life Handed Us Lemons, We Turned Them into Beer”. Larry took on cancer with his unrelenting “Thumbs Up” attitude and determination and beat cancer reminding us to never quit!

Truex is the Favorite, Newman Surprises at Richmond In this week’s episode of Out of the Groove, host and creator Eric Estepp takes us through this weekend’s night race at Richmond to give us his full race review and analysis. The playoffs are starting to heat up, and Martin Truex, Jr. seems to be the current championship contender after his win this weekend, and Eric is here to give us the context.

But Truex wasn’t the only driver to surprise fans at Richmond this week. Ryan Newman, driver of the No. 6 for Roush Fenway, is now looking like 0 0 4

a Top 12 contender after a 6th place finish this weekend, and that comes after a full season of higher-than-expected finishes for the No. 6 car.

But Newman isn’t the only driver on Eric’s mind after Richmond. What happened with Erik Jones and his failed inspection, and what does it mean for Joe Gibbs Racing drivers in the playoffs?

And how about that amazing 12th place finish

lessons learned at richmond It’s Truex Time JGR ace dominant in two Playoff races

W

ith two of three races down in the opening round of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, at least two things are crystal clear: Martin Truex Jr. is red hot and it’s anyone’s guess on which 12 drivers are going to reach the next round. Here are five takeaways from Saturday night’s Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway, where Truex completed the 2019 season sweep.

If You Flunk Post-Race Inspection, You Will Pay The Price

I

n 2019, NASCAR has finally cracked the whip on cheating. And the sanctioning body is holding virtually nothing back in trying to make its point. The latest example came after the Richmond race when NASCAR disqualified fourth-place finisher Erik Jones and his No. 20 team for an issue related to the car’s rear-wheel alignment. After NASCAR officials discovered the irregularity in post-race inspection, NASCAR DQ’d Jones and his team, scoring them with a last-place result and stripping them of all but one point earned for their original finish. While Jones is the first Monster Energy Series driver to be DQ’d this season for violations found in post-race inspection, he’s not the first driver in a NASCAR series to experience this outcome. It’s already happened to multiple other drivers and teams across NASCAR’s other two national divisions. Now, instead of gaining some ground in the standings, Jones remains in the playoff cellar and faces a must-win scenario this weekend.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Can’t Stop Running Into People

F

or what feels like the umpteenth time in 2019, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. ran into someone and they spun. Thankfully for Martin Truex Jr., however, the contact wasn’t enough to derail an otherwise super evening in Richmond. In fact, Truex recovered in time to win the race — but he was none too pleased about the bump from Stenhouse. Asked what he thought at the moment of contact, Truex said, “Yeah, first thing was, ‘What the hell?’” Stenhouse later took the blame for the incident. “I made a huge mistake there after we pitted under green,” he said. “I drove it down into Turn 3 and I thought he was gonna give me the top and then he went to the top, so I dove back to the bottom, and when I did, it got on the splitter and pushed up into him and spun him. All I was hoping for after that point was he’d come back and win.”

Brad Keselowski Admits He And Team Have “Work To Do”

A

ll in all, it was a pretty solid weekend for Brad Keselowski and his No. 2 Team Penske bunch at Richmond as Keselowski qualified on the pole and finished fourth after leading 89 of the race’s 400 laps. Finishing ahead of Keselowski, however, was the Joe Gibbs Racing trio of Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin, who gave their organization a clean sweep of the top three positions. Now with eight races to go in the season and only one race remaining in the Round of 16, Keselowski admittedly doesn’t think his team is running on par with the JGR boys. “It’s definitely not good news,” Keselowski said of JGR’s Richmond performance. “We’ve got work to do. They’re really strong, and we’re not where we need to be to be able to beat them heads-up, but we threw everything we had at them. … They’ve got all the secrets, so we need to find some more secrets.”

It’s Even Crazier Now Near The Bubble

S

aturday night’s race at Richmond created an even crazier situation than what had existed near the playoff bubble coming into the weekend. Previously, Erik Jones, Clint Bowyer, Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman would have been the four drivers eliminated from title contention if the Round of 16 had ended. Entering Richmond, Newman was six points away from the cutline, while Busch was 14 points back and Bowyer and Jones were 21 and 26 points in arrears, respectively. Now, with only this weekend’s elimination race left in the Round of 16, the four drivers on the brink of elimination are Alex Bowman, Bowyer, Busch and Jones. While Busch and Jones almost certainly need to win to advance, Bowman is just two points behind teammate William Byron, who holds the final transfer spot. Sitting just a point ahead of Byron is Aric Almirola, who trails 10th-place Ryan Blaney by just five points. Bowyer, meanwhile, trails Byron by only four points for the final transfer spot.

Martin Truex Jr. Is The Clear-Cut Title Favorite

T

wo races into the playoffs, two wins for Martin Truex Jr. That gives the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion a series-high six victories for the season. No one else has been to Victory Lane more than four times. It should be pretty obvious to everyone at this point that Truex and his No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing team led by crew chief Cole Pearn are the odds-on favorites to claim the 2019 Monster Energy Series title in eight weeks at Homestead-Miami Speedway in South Florida. In addition to seemingly hitting their stride at the right time, Truex and his team have been among the series’ two or three best all year. Having just won a title in 2017, Truex also has the know-how and the experience to go all the way again. This much is certain: He and his No. 19 bunch are wicked fast right now, and there doesn’t appear to be any letup in sight.

Truex and Pearn Show Who’s Ready at Richmond YouTuber Rusty Walrus is back with his reaction video to the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. It’s the second round of playoffs, and the round of twelve gang is starting to take shape. What was Rusty’s reaction to this week’s race?

First the fans are finally getting there answer as to whether Martin Truex, Jr. and his longtime partner Cole Pearn could adapt to their new team, Joe Gibbs Racing, this season after their championship run in 2018. That answer seems to be a resounding “yes!” What 0 1 8

does it mean for JGR and the other teams that Gibbs has 3 out of 4 drivers in serious championship contention?

But it wasn’t all excitement and fun this weekend, as the track itself continues to find itself in the hot spot. Richmond’s racing the past few years, seemingly no matter what package the cars are running, has left a lot to be desired. What does this mean for the future of the raceway?

All of that and more in this week’s episode of the Rusty Report.

Just Sayin’ Daniel Suarez had the top finish (eighth) among non-playoff drivers at Richmond.

The Non-Playoff Drivers Need Some Love

By Jared Turner

“

Does anyone even know we were here?” If they’re totally honest, all the non-playoff drivers entered in Saturday night’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series event at Richmond Raceway must have wondered this. After all, the highest-finishing non-playoff driver was Daniel Suarez in eighth.

Had Erik Jones not been disqualified by NASCAR for issues discovered on his car in post-race inspection, the top nine finishers and 11 of the top 14 would have all been championship contenders. Of course, such outcomes are par for the course for this time of year. While everyone loves to talk about potential “spoilers” who are capable of winning a playoff race when they’re not personally in the playoffs, the reality is that this almost never happens.

It hasn’t happened in the two playoff races held so far this season, and it didn’t happen in any of the 10 playoff races held last season. As a matter of fact, since NASCAR expanded the playoff field for its top series to 16 drivers and added an elimination-

0 2 0

richmond Rearview: september 23, 2019

style format back in 2014, a driver not part of the original 16-driver playoff field has NEVER won a playoff race.

Don’t believe me? Look it up for yourself.

While the whole point of having a season-ending playoff is to shine a spotlight on the 16 championshipeligible drivers, it shouldn’t be lost on viewers that these 16 drivers make up less than half the field. There are still no fewer than 20 other drivers out there each weekend representing their sponsors and teams and trying to get the best finish they possibly can. So these drivers don’t get completely overlooked, it’s time that NASCAR offer some kind of incentive at season’s end to the highestfinishing non-playoff driver.

While I don’t know what this incentive should be exactly, I do know this: It must really stink to be a non-playoff driver this time of year.

NASCAR eSports

PEAK Series Schedule Takes on Television Playoffs Heat Up Going into the Roval By: M atteo M archeschi

H

aving non-points All-Star events broadcast on live TV has been huge for the eNASCAR Peak Antifreeze iRacing Series.

This development, though, has led to an even bigger deal: The Peak Series will have its first-ever live TV broadcast of a pointspaying race, and it will be none other than the 2019 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. As a result, it’s been moved from Tuesday, October 8th to Thursday, October 10th, and will be shown on NBCSN. Clearly, NBC seems to be excited by iRacing, the Peak Series, and its future, and, as it has its hands in everything from Monster Jam to NASCAR to Indycar, would like a touch of eSports as well. NASCAR America, NBC’s flagship NASCAR show, has used iRacing to show the unique challenges of every track the Cup Series goes to, with Parker Kligerman at the wheel. Kligerman also participates in the All-Star events, but will likely not participate in the finale at Homestead, since it’s a points race, and the most important one, for that matter.

Much like the three national series, the Peak Series ends its

NASCAR eSports season with a winner-take-all event at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Four of the eight playoff drivers will qualify for the finale, and the best finisher of the four at Homestead wins the crown. Simple as that.

Still in the running are current points leader Keegan Leahy, three-time winner this season Zack Novak, Michigan victor Garrett Lowe, the winless-but-strong Blake Reynolds, Ryan Luza, who started strong but has fallen off as of late, 2014 series champion Michael Conti, Pocono winner Jimmy Mullis, and road course ace Bobby Zalenski. Leahy, Novak, Lowe, and Reynolds sit above the cut line, with Lowe and Reynolds each 13 points above fifth-place Luza. A win at the Roval,

the next race, and the final event before Homestead, would lock any of these eight drivers in, and eighth place Zalenski surely expects to contend, but Conti has also shown prowess at the road courses, not to mention that this is the first appearance of the Roval on the Peak schedule.

This week at the Roval should be a thriller, not to mention the TV-broadcasted finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The series will be on track at the Charlotte Roval on Tuesday, September 24th at 9 PM eastern time. The race will be shown live on iRacing’s Twitch channel and the iRacing eSports Network YouTube channel.

ROXOR: Making Its Mark in NASCAR ss Mahindra Automotive North America’s new ROXOR is an off-road workhorse built on a no-nonsense, heavy-duty steel frame with a Mahindra 2.5L turbo diesel engine and 3,490 pounds of towing capacity.

The off-road vehicle will be on display at HomesteadMiami Speedway on championship weekend as part of its expanding marketing campaign with NASCAR.

N

ASCAR fans may be becoming more familiar with Mahindra’s ROXOR due to the company’s marketing campaign, which is putting its off-road vehicle in front of NASCAR fans at events across the country.

The branding and experiential campaign in 2019 included a showcase of Mahindra ROXOR vehicles at a stop at Michigan

0 3 6

richmond Rearview: september 23, 2019

International Speedway, the entitlement naming rights on the XFINITY race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (ROXOR 200), and a customized digital campaign throughout the year.

Why is ROXOR becoming more and more prevalent on the NASCAR circuit?

Because NASCAR fans make the perfect market for the off-road vehicle, according to ROXOR Senior Marketing Manager Dan Proffer.

“ROXOR is committed to supporting NASCAR because

Spotlight we want the sport to grow into the next stage,” Proffer said.

“We’re committed to not only being a new sponsor, but we have plans to be here for a while.”

With a price point of $16,000 per vehicle and a demographic of 35- to 65-year-old males, ROXOR fits the bill as a potential NASCAR partner. NASCAR Vice Chairman Mike Helton owns several ROXOR off-road vehicles.

The marketing campaign at Homestead-Miami Speedway will offer fans an opportunity to see the ROXOR off-road vehicles on display. The speedway will operate the products throughout its 650-acre facility during Ford Championship Weekend. Several other NASCAR tracks have purchased Mahindra tractors for use by speedway operations personnel.

“As far as fans are concerned, we’ll have these vehicles on display and we’ll offer fans a chance to win one,” Proffer said.

“Our strategy is we want to get involved at as many tracks as possible. Our goal is to be in every track in some capacity – whether it’s on a car or an activation at a race track.”

ROXOR had title sponsorship rights for the XFINITY Series race at New Hampshire.

Fans can either sign up at select NASCAR tracks or online at www. roxoroffroad.com to win two tickets (flights included) to Justin Moore’s last concert of the year. The country music star has yet to announce the location of his final tour stop of 2019, so stay tuned.

ROXOR also will have a kiosk set up at Homestead at the event display truck in the fan zone, where fans can register to win a ROXOR off-road vehicle.

MSG: The Q Collar Is the Future of Brain Safety By dan guttenplan

A

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

One of Cormier’s areas of focus is concussion prevention and education. One particular piece of technology that has Cormier excited is Q30 Innovations’ Q-Collar. Q-Collar’s technology has been approved for sale in Canada, where it is being marketed as the Bauer Neuroshield. The company has been around for more than seven

0 6 2

richmond Rearview: september 23, 2019

years, and the data collection remains third party. This means that the company is unable to manipulate the data, which ensures the accuracy of the efficacy and outcomes.

The Q-Collar is actively being evaluated with consideration for its involvement in motorsports.

The Q-Collar is already worn by professional athletes in other forms of high contact sports like football, hockey, soccer and even the military.

“I am particularly excited with the possibility of driver athletes, in varying age groups, being able to embrace this novel technology,” Cormier said.

“There are exciting nuances with the collar that we think could have an important role with regards to helping on the preventive side of concussions, and part of the technology is established on nature’s physiological advantages found in other animals and

health and wellness human beings.

“This collar provides a small defined amount of pressure over the neck muscles which, in effect, engages a ligament to react similarly to what a battle ram experiences. In the battle ram, this band causes a small reduction in blood flow from the brain which creates an internal air bag, which apparently protects this species from brain injuries.”

Through Cormier’s work with race car drivers, he has found that very few have the desire to alter their racing styles, so preventative measures are best taken before the racing begins.

“We deal with brain injuries all the time, ranging from mild to more severe,” Cormier said.

“Those predispose you to the long-term effects of brain injury. The diagnosis of concussions is certainly key to taking the racer athlete out of the contest and providing rest. The appropriate

Explaining the Slosh Effect This promising research into concussion prevention is inspired by human yawns, woodpecker tongues and mountain-dwelling rams. The manifestation of this work is the novel Q-Collar, a device worn around the neck that works by enhancing the brain’s own physiology by lightly compressing the jugular vein to increase blood volume in the skull. That may help prevent the brain from moving around within the skull and thus could reduce traumatic brain injuries.

“What the woodpecker and battle ram have in

0 6 4

richmond Rearview: september 23, 2019

rest will help provide longevity in the sport and additionally create an environment whereby transitioning into retirement occurs with their faculties intact. This allows one to both enjoy and remember their retirement. That’s something we’re promoting from the Motorsports Safety Group standpoint.”

The Q-Collar will be coming to several racing series, in addition to college football and its continued use in the NFL. “It’s a preventative collar, and studies have indicated decreases in the incidence of concussions by almost 90 percent, depending on the sport,” said Cormier. “The helmet protects the skull and skin from fractures and lacerations.

The HANS device protects the neck from fractures. Those are integral safety tools, and we hope the collar will fill in several important missing pieces.” common is they depend on striking the head to survive and eat,” Cormier said. “What they have in common with us is related to yawning.

Each time we yawn, we mildly obstruct a small amount of blood from draining to the brain.

That slows the slosh effect internally of the brain moving inside the skull.”

In fluid dynamics, the slosh effect is the movement of liquid inside another object. In this example, the vehicle is the skull and the moving substance is the brain, which is composed of 70-percent water.

TAILGATER TIRE TABLE ▶▶ When every inch of space in your rig matters, the Original Tailgater Tire Table is a must have for when you need an extra surface for your cold drinks or hot pans off the grill. It attaches to any of your vehicle’s tires, including the spare, and comes fully assembled with all pieces secured. Weighing 12 lbs., it is easily maneuvered and can be tucked away and stored flat for your next adventure without wasting valuable space.

Works regardless of flat or uneven ground, holds up to 50 lbs. and creates a sturdy, usable surface area anytime you need it and has a retractable leg for extra support.

Learn more and see photos in action at TailGaterTireTable.com.

Surecan ▶▶ The award-winning SureCan was designed with all of your gas-powered machines in mind. With patented technology, the SureCan offers its user the best experience they have ever had with a fuel can. The flexible spout rotates down more than 180 degrees and fits perfectly into any machine’s fill location, while the thumb-release trigger on top controls the flow. By pulling straight back on the safety trigger and then down on the thumb button, fuel is released immediately while you stay in complete control.

When you notice your tank is almost full, slowly release the thumb button and allow the excess fuel to drain from the top of the spout before rotating it back up. No more bending over, tipping your fuel can forward and holding it in an awkward position. The SureCan is a high-quality fuel dispensing machine.
