Stewart-Haas Racing announced Thursday that Clint Bowyer will return to its No. 14 Ford for the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series campaign.

Bowyer is in his third year with SHR’s No. 14, a seat he took over when team co-owner Tony Stewart retired after the 2015 season. Bowyer has 10 wins in NASCAR’s top division, including two victories with Stewart-Haas last season.

“Clint Bowyer is a racer to his core who brings passion and energy to our race team,” Stewart said in a news release provided by the team. “He’s exactly who I wanted to drive my No. 14 car and we’re very happy to have him continue with Stewart-Haas Racing.”

The timing of Bowyer’s contract extension dovetails with his return to Kansas Speedway in his home state. He enters the weekend ranked 11th among the 12 remaining title-eligible drivers, needing to overcome a 24-point deficit to keep his postseason hopes intact.

“I’m proud to be back with Stewart-Haas Racing next year and very happy to announce it the week leading into my home race,” Bowyer said in the team release. “This is a team filled with racers who love to compete, and as a race car driver, it’s exactly where you want to be. Great equipment, great teammates, and we’re all backed by great people, which starts at the top with Tony and Gene. They know how to build some fast Ford Mustangs and I’m the lucky guy who gets to drive ’em.”

The news of Bowyer’s return follows a pair a high-profile renewals for Stewart-Haas Racing in recent weeks. The organization announced Oct. 10 that driver Aric Almirola and sponsor Smithfield would be back  with the No. 10 team next season. Rodney Childers, crew chief for SHR’s No. 4 Ford driven by Kevin Harvick, confirmed Oct. 7 that he had agreed to a contract extension for the role he’s held since 2014.

Veteran crew chief Brian Pattie will not return to the No. 17 Ford team next season, Roush Fenway Racing confirmed Thursday.

Pattie has been with the organization since 2016 and is in his third season working with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and the No. 17 group. The news was first reported by SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Roush Fenway Racing announced Sept. 25 that Stenhouse would not return as the driver of the No. 17 Ford, vacating the seat he had occupied since 2013. The Jack Roush-owned team will field the No. 17 for Chris Buescher in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series next season.

RELATED: Key drivers in Silly Season

Wednesday, JTG Daugherty Racing announced that Stenhouse would join its two-car effort in 2020.

Pattie has six wins as a crew chief in NASCAR’s top division — three with Clint Bowyer at Michael Waltrip Racing in 2012, two with Stenhouse in 2017 and his first in 2010 with Juan Pablo Montoya during his time with Chip Ganassi Racing.

Pattie is also a 10-time winner as a crew chief in Xfinity Series competition.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (October 17, 2019) – Following a thorough selection process, NASCAR and Rev Racing have identified 10 multicultural and female drivers to host at the 2019 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver Development Combine in Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach, Fla., on October 22-23.

Numerous drivers from around the world applied to the program, but only the 10 finalists will compete for spots to drive with Rev Racing and compete in the NASCAR Late Model Stock, ARCA Menards Series East and ARCA Menards Showdown Series in 2020.

Drivers will be put to the test during the two-day event where evaluators from across the industry will judge each participant on their on-track performance, physical fitness, media and marketing skills. Many of the drivers will be piloting late model stock cars for the first time during the on-track assessment at New Smyrna Speedway.

“We are thrilled with the caliber of diverse drivers planning to compete in this year’s combine,” said Jusan Hamilton, Director of Racing Operations and Event Management at NASCAR. “The driver selection process for the 2020 class was highly competitive, as we had several talented applicants from across the United States and abroad – and that advanced level of competition boosts our confidence in the ladder system we have in place with our partners at Rev Racing, which will be effective for many years to come.”

Rajah Caruth, Isabella Robusto and Lavar Scott participated in the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Youth Driver Development Combine earlier this year in Concord, N.C., where they were mentored by NASCAR Drive for Diversity team members, Chase Cabre, Nicholas Sanchez, Brooke Storer and Gracie Trotter.

“We are excited to see our some of our youth development drivers be selected as participants in this year’s combine,” said Max Siegel, Owner of Rev Racing. “We will look to our returning drivers to set the bar high and look forward to the selection of the 2020 Class.”

This year’s participants comprise a diverse group of drivers from the United States and beyond including three black, three female and four Hispanic drivers. Their ultimate goal is to compete at NASCAR’s highest level, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

Much like the other participants, foreign driver Loris Hezemans has already made a name for himself. The Dutch driver won the 2019 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series race at Raceway Vernay in the Netherlands and the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series 2018 Junior championship.

Veteran NASCAR Drive for Diversity participant, Chase Cabre, has experienced success with Rev Racing claiming two races and four poles in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2019.

Program graduates include three drivers now competing in NASCAR’s top Monster Energy series, Daniel Suarez, Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson, who scored a victory at Dover International Speedway earlier this month to punch his ticket into the Round of 8 in the NASCAR Playoffs.

The 2019 NASCAR Drive for Diversity participants include:

 

Name Hometown Age Racing Series
Chase Cabre Tampa, Fla. 22 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East
Rajah Caruth Washington, DC 17 US Legend Car Series & eNASCAR Ignite Series
Loris Hezemans Amsterdam, Netherlands 22 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series
Perry Patino Montgomery, Ala. 20 Limited Late Model & Pro Late Model Series
Isabella Robusto Fort Mill, S.C. 14 US Legends Car Series
Nicholas Sanchez Homestead, Fla. 18 NASCAR Whelen All American Series & NASCAR K&N Pro Series East
Lavar Scott Carney’s Pointe, N.J. 16 600 Micro Sprint Series
Brooke Storer Land O’Lakes, Fla. 21 NASCAR Whelen All American Series
Gracie Trotter Denver, N.C. 18 NASCAR Whelen All American Series
Ryan Vargas La Mirada, Calif. 19 NASCAR Whelen All American Series

The top eight playoff drivers in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series standings sit comfortably above the cutline entering Sunday’s elimination race at Kansas Speedway. However, the four remaining contenders still have a solid chance to save their season — and they may have history on their side.

RELATED: Expert picks for Kansas | Winners of playoff elimination races

Despite no change to the top eight after the 2018 Round of 12 elimination race, playoff history tends to lean towards a more variable outlook.

Since the adoption of the current NASCAR Playoffs format during the 2014 season, five drivers who were in position to advance to the Round of 8 saw their title hopes dashed in the Round of 12 elimination race. Two of the five, Kyle Larson in 2017 and Kyle Busch in 2014, entered with more than a 25-point cushion but had back-of-the pack finishes that derailed their chase for the Cup.

Although winning the race is the ultimate goal, it is not necessarily a must for the fringe contenders racing to salvage their title hopes. Only one outside-sitting driver under the current format has won the Round of 12 elimination race to advance to the next round: Brad Keselowski in 2014. Keselowski went on to finish the season in fifth place that year, despite tallying a series-high six wins and 17 top five finishes in 36 races.

For a pair of the outside four, recent playoff success at Kansas may lead to a more positive and familiar outlook in the high-stakes race. In last season’s Hollywood Casino 400, Hendrick Motorsports teammates Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman both secured top-10 finishes. Bowman crossed the line in ninth place, while Elliott dominated the final 44 laps to take home the checkered flag, locking down his coveted spot the Round of 8.

As for the final two, they may have to put together one of the best Kansas performances of their careers. Clint Bowyer, currently sitting 24 points out of contention, has just one top five finish in his last 12 races at Kansas, while William Byron (27 points below the cutline) has an average finish of 30.3 in three career starts at the track.

With Kyle Larson and Ryan Blaney being the only drivers securely locked into the Round of 8 after each notching their first win of the season, the playoff tension is building for Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Hollywood Casino 400 (2:30 p.m. ET, NBC/NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM Radio).

As increasingly more eSports drivers gain traction on the national stage, the conversation often turns to: How would eSports drivers fare on a real track, in a real car? Thanks to Sunoco’s eWorld vs. Real World challenge, a pair of Richmond Raceway eSports’ elite competitors had a chance to square off with current Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Bubba Wallace in a series of events that provided a pathway to the answer.

The challenge was split into two parts: an iRacing experience and a real-world track experience.

RELATED: Full eNASCAR coverage

Richmond Raceway eSports drivers Malik Ray (No. 90 Sunoco Toyota) and Jimmy Mullis (No. 46 Sim Seats Toyota) defended their home turf against Wallace (No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports Chevrolet), as they sat behind the wheel of a Sim Seats driving simulator. The trio of drivers competed at virtual Richmond Raceway to see who could lay down the quickest lap time.

The second part of the challenge featured a real world at-track experience. Each challenger wheeled a US Legends car at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s quarter-mile track, battling to see who could put together the fastest four-lap run.

After the conclusion of both segments, each driver’s recorded times were totaled, and the winner was crowned. Check out the video above to see the full experience play out and who ended up with the ultimate bragging rights.

Two NASCAR team haulers have experienced trouble on the way to this weekend’s races at Kansas Speedway with two incidents in a span of less than 24 hours.

Kaulig Racing announced Wednesday evening that its No. 10 Xfinity Series team hauler had crashed on the way to the 1.5-mile track. Thursday morning, JTG Daugherty Racing announced that its No. 47 Monster Energy Series team hauler had suffered a fire, and that the team was assessing the damage to its equipment. A statement from JTG on Friday said the No. 47 team would work out of the Hendrick Motorsports test hauler, and the original backup No. 37 car will serve as the primary No. 47 at Kansas.

WLOS-TV reported that the Kaulig Racing crash took place on westbound Interstate 40 in McDowell County, just east of Asheville, North Carolina. FOX Carolina reported that state troopers indicated that a medical issue with the driver caused the crash, forcing the tractor-trailer through a guard rail and down an embankment.

FOX Carolina also reported that the driver and co-driver were taken to a local hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. Kaulig Racing said Thursday morning that both had been released from the hospital to convalesce at home.

Kaulig Racing president Chris Rice indicated Wednesday that the organization intends to field its two-car effort as planned for Justin Haley’s No. 11 Chevrolet and Ross Chastain’s No. 10 at Kansas. In a Thursday update, Kaulig Racing said that the team was preparing an additional car for Kansas, working with team partner Richard Childress Racing.

JTG Daugherty team owner Tad Geschickter said in a statement that both drivers of the No. 47 hauler were OK after their incident. “We are assessing the damage to our trailer and race cars and will have more information as it becomes available,” Geschickter said.

Ryan Preece is in his first full-time season driving the No. 47 Chevrolet for the JTG Daugherty team.

PHILADELPHIA – Comcast announced Thursday the finalists for the 2019 Comcast Community Champion of the Year Award, an annual award created to recognize the philanthropic efforts of individuals within the NASCAR industry. From 2015, when Comcast began its entitlement sponsorship of the NASCAR Xfinity Series, to 2019, Comcast has donated $600,000 to 15 different NASCAR-affiliated organizations to honor their efforts and help further the impact of their causes.

The 2019 finalists are:

  • Artie Kempner, NASCAR on FOX Coordinating Director and Co-Founder of Autism Delaware
  • David Ragan, NASCAR driver and Ambassador for Shriners Hospitals for Children
  • Mike Tatoian, President and CEO of Dover International Speedway and USO Delaware Chairman

“Community service is one of Comcast’s core values, and from the beginning of our partnership with NASCAR, we wanted to find a way to tell the amazing stories of how individuals within the sport are giving back to their communities in remarkable ways,” said Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnerships at Comcast. “In the fifth year of the program, we have another inspirational group of NASCAR industry members who are using their platforms to make a positive impact on so many lives. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to them for their tireless efforts.”

The 2019 Comcast Community Champion of the Year will be selected by a panel comprised of Comcast and NASCAR executives, as well as defending Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano, who won the award in 2018. Comcast will award $60,000 to the winner’s affiliated charity, and $30,000 to each of the two remaining finalists’ selected charities.

RELATED: Logano honored for foundation’s works

The 2019 award winner will be announced on Thursday, November 14 at W. South Beach Hotel in Miami in conjunction with NASCAR Championship Weekend.

Comcast has a long track record of community service, aiding in the advancement of local organizations, developing programs and partnerships, mobilizing resources to connect people and inspiring positive and substantive change. To learn more about the Comcast Community Champion of the Year Award, please visit ComcastCommunityChampion.com.

2019 Comcast Community Champion of the Year finalists:

Artie Kempner (Wilmington, Delaware): In 1998, a small group of parents got together in the living room of Marcy and Artie Kempner’s house in Wilmington, Delaware. The Kempners had three boys and their middle son, Ethan, had been diagnosed with autism a year earlier. All of the parents at the table had children on the autism spectrum. That gathering was the beginning of Autism Delaware and Artie became the group’s first president. The organization started as a simple support group, but 20-plus years later, it’s a statewide service agency, fielding more than 1,500 calls from families annually, offering lifespan services, as well as social and recreational program for families in a safe and welcoming environment. Kempner’s work on the Drive for Autism Celebrity-Am Golf Outing, helped the group raise the necessary money to launch its critically acclaimed adult vocational and employment program known as POW&R, Productive Opportunities for Work & Recreation.  Now in its 11th year, POW&R assesses an individual’s strengths and vocational goals, and matches them with community-based employment, volunteer and recreational opportunities. Today, the program serves over 150 adults with autism in paid employment.

David Ragan (Unadilla, Georgia): Since 2012, David Ragan has been dedicated to supporting Shriners Hospital for Children as a part of their ambassador program. Ragan spends much of his off-time visiting hospitals, fundraising, as well as inviting patients to the race track for once-in-a-lifetime experiences at NASCAR events. Ragan’s passion for the hospital goes beyond just the bare-minimum appearance, he makes an effort to remember each patient’s name and story and will continue to stay in touch long after he meets them. Ragan knows the children and families he meets are likely struggling and wants to do what he can to put a smile on their face. His association with the Shriners, as well as being a Shriner himself, has not only brought attention to the hospitals and the great work they are doing, but has increased donations from race fans and team partners. Many people aren’t aware of the great work that the Shriners do, but Ragan has been a strong voice for them for the past 10 years and has changed countless lives because of his great work.

Mike Tatoian (Dover, Delaware): Mike Tatoian has been a staple of the Delaware and mid-Atlantic charitable communities, particularly with local military organizations at Dover (Del.) Air Force Base, since he began his tenure at the “Monster Mile” in 2007. One of his longest commitments has been with United Service Organizations. Established during World War II, the USO supports U.S. service members wherever they are, including on-base, deployed abroad, passing through an airport or in local communities at more than 200 locations around the world. One-particular duty that distinguishes USO Delaware is it’s the only USO in the world that shares the responsibility of bringing home fallen service members, working alongside other units such as the Air Force Mortuary Affairs, Armed Forces Medical Examiner System, the Joint Personal Effects Depot and the Families of the Fallen. For 13 years, Tatoian has assisted USO Delaware with countless programs and currently serves as the Chairman of the Advisory Council for the organization.

Joe Gibbs Racing announced Thursday morning that Harrison Burton will move up to the NASCAR Xfinity Series full time in 2020, driving the No. 20 Toyota.

Burton has competed in six Xfinity Series events this year, with a best finish of fourth at Iowa Speedway in June. The 19-year-old driver will replace Christopher Bell, who will vacate the No. 20 to move to the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series next season with Leavine Family Racing.

“I want to finish this season strong, but I’m excited to get 2020 started,” Burton said in a statement provided by the team. “My time with JGR this season will really help me because I’ve already gotten to know so many people there and it’s such a great team and organization. They have a long history of helping to develop drivers and this is big for the next step in my career.”

RELATED: Key players in Silly Season | Harrison Burton driver page

Joe Gibbs Racing indicated that DEX Imaging will provide primary sponsorship. The organization said that the No. 20 team’s crew chief for 2020 will be announced at a later date.

Burton, a product of the NASCAR Next youth initiative, is in his first full season in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series with Kyle Busch Motorsports. He won the 2017 championship in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, and is a three-time winner in ARCA Menards Series competition.

JGR indicated that Burton is scheduled to make two more Xfinity starts this season before joining the series full time. He’s set to drive the No. 18 Toyota in Friday’s Kansas Lottery 300 (3 p.m. ET, NBC/NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) and then again on Nov. 2 at Texas Motor Speedway.

Bell, 24, has 15 career wins in the Xfinity Series, including seven victories this season. He entered this year’s Xfinity Playoffs as the series’ top seed and will begin the Round of 8 this weekend at Kansas.

Greetings, denizens of the Internet an iRacing artists,

We asked you to create ugly paint schemes, and like the Octo-Mom, you over-delivered.

The #CasmUglySchemeContest, in which the winner receives an amazing VIP iRacing package courtesy of iRacing, was a roaring success. So many downright hideous paint schemes were submitted. Selecting a winner was difficult. As the old saying goes, it was like trying to pick your least favorite child.

Judging was painstaking, as well as unsettling. One by one, each hideous abomination was analyzed for ugliness. I’m honestly less repulsed when watching “Dr. Pimplepopper” videos on YouTube.

I wish we could give prizes to all of you, but as you all know, when it comes to creating paint schemes that induce nausea and dizziness, it’s a cutthroat world where there are no participation trophies.

I personally selected 12 finalists. From there, they were sent to an esteemed panel of judges, which included several NASCAR Digital Media supervisors and co-workers, iRacing executive vice president and executive producer Steve Myers, Kaz Grala, Corey LaJoie, and Ryan Truex if he ever actually responds to the DM.

The feedback from the judges was extensive, with many aesthetic critiques offered. “Looks like something from Forever 21,” said one judge. “What I was looking for here was the best balance of equal parts offensive and ugly, but also a scheme that I felt would have a legitimate shot to make it through NASCAR’s approval process to get on a real car. To truly be an authentically ugly scheme like some of the all time greats, it has to make it through the approval process,” said an extremely thoughtful Landon Cassill. Nothing, said Ryan Truex, because again, he didn’t reply to the DM.

So now, without further ado, your ugly-paint-scheme podium.

Third place, and winner of 100 iRacing credits: @RyanStone_GTA

Ryan’s incorporation of current events into his scheme is impressive. The “ugly” comes not from the faces on the scheme, but rather the incident it references, which thankfully did not result in an actual fracas inside a chain restaurant. Plus, the rollerskating Morgan Shepherd on the roof is like the rug in “The Big Lebowski” – it just really ties the car together.

There is no greater tribute to such a beloved figure than this tribute to the late Grumpy Cat. Vivid colors that act as a visual metaphor for Grumpy Cat’s bright personality. You look at this car and you hear “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper and “Crossroads” by Bone Thugs N’ Harmony simultaneously. We think Grumpy Cat would approve. Or probably not.

First place, and winner of an iRacing VIP package (2 years, with 2,000 credits): @Andrewtfawcett

2019 October Uglywinners Firstplace 2

SWEET, GLORIOUS ABOMINATION. The winner by a landslide, receiving 64 percent of the first-place votes (NOTE: Subject to change, depending on whether Ryan Truex actually replies to the DM with his picks). The gaudy, mismatched typefaces, the ghastly visage on the hood – to quote “Seinfeld,” “It sickens me…and yet I cannot turn away.” We do not wish to know what all goes on inside Andrew’s mind – we only hope that whatever portions of it that created this monster have been cleared and will not create any more. Kudos, Andrew – we were thoroughly disgusted and impressed.

 

That said, a sincere thank-you to all who took the time to submit a paint scheme. I promise you that from the bottom of my heart, they were all disgusting in their own way. I am appreciative for all of you. Let’s do this again.

Off to fill an eyedropper with bleach and squirt it directly into my corneas,
