Four-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves will attempt to qualify for the Daytona 500 as part of Trackhouse Racing's Project 91 program.

Castroneves was close to putting together a Daytona 500 program in recent years and now will get the chance to make NASCAR's biggest event at age 49.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would enter a NASCAR race and certainly not the Daytona 500 with a team like Trackhouse Racing," Castroneves said in a news release. ?"This is an opportunity that nobody in their right mind could ever turn down."

The Project 91 program is designed to bring drivers with international following to NASCAR. Shane van Gisbergen won his Cup debut in 2023 on the Chicago street course and the three-time Australian Supercars champion is now set to embark on his Cup rookie season after a full Xfinity campaign.

RIP, Fred Lorenzen: NASCAR Star Who Changed the Sport Forever

f you are at all a NASCAR fan, likely you’re aware that Hall of Fame driver Fred Lorenzen died last week. Possibly you read the statement issued by NASCAR Chairman and CEO Jim France: “Fred Lorenzen was one of NASCAR’s first true superstars. A fan favorite, he helped NASCAR expand from its original roots. Fred was the picture-perfect NASCAR star, helping to bring the sport to the silver screen, which further grew NASCAR’s popularity during its early years.”

By “silver screen,” I can only guess that France is talking about the 1968 film Speed Lovers, a B-movie which actually stars Lorenzen, top-billed in the advertising as “The Nation’s Top Stock Car Racer.” It’s about a driver who falls in with gangsters trying to fix a race. Says a review on Amazon: “This poorly written and directed pic would interest no one who is not into 1960’s NASCAR racing (like I am). The best acting was done by stock car driver Fred Lorenzen, who played himself.” According to IMDb, Lorenzen was in three other movies, including I Love You, I Love You Not, in which Lorenzen plays a character named Fingers, but only Speed Lovers is about racing.

Of course, all that was a long time ago, though Lorenzen’s importance to NASCAR is undeniable. Coming from Chicago, he was among the first NASCAR winners who didn’t speak with a southern accent. Nicknamed “The Golden Boy” for his blonde hair and good looks, Lorenzen helped advance NASCAR beyond its hayseed perception and into a legitimate, national sport.


Before he was Hagerty’s “Barn Find Hunter,” Tom Cotter was a pioneer in motorsports public relations, particularly for NASCAR. He co-wrote a book about Holman-Moody, Ford’s legendary race team, for which Lorenzen drove. And as part of the research for that book, Cotter came to know Lorenzen.

The first thing you need to know about Fred Lorenzen is that he was a businessman. “Until Fred, no one in NASCAR had made more than $100,000 in a single season,” Cotter recalled. “He told me that when he got out of a car, he’d kiss the queen and take the trophy and smile, and then he’d go straight to a pay phone and call his broker about how to invest the money he just won.

Next season the Chevrolet NASCAR race cars are going to look different. For starters, there will be no Camaro branding on the cars. Of course, Chevy stopped producing the Camaro at the end of 2023.

A lot of fans and those in the industry were wondering if a rebranding could come this season. Now it appears that not much will change except the lack of “Camaro” on the rear bumper.

[Seminole Red]

YES

[Tr8dervic]

Is that based on the old points system?

[Seminole Red]

Congrats to Christopher Bell on your first Winston Cup championship!
Much like 1992, Elliott misses out on those five points for leading the most laps and comes up short 🫢 ….too soon?
Weeks of stages and point re-shuffling and all they had to do was leave it alone and the race for first would have been the difference of one on track position anyway. Five cars would have been mathematically eligible today.
I miss the old system
