CARCHEX Fans and Junior Nation will not be disappointed with the final results

A blogger from SB Nation, one of the largest and fastest-growing networks of fan-centric sport communities, posted a interesting ranking report about 2010 NASCAR crowd noise.

How do measure crowd noise, you ask?

Some of you might be familiar with the process but basically each week SB Nation measured the crowd noise during pre-race driver introductions with a handheld decibel meter. SB Nation compiled the results from 29 NASCAR races during the 2010 season.

Then according to SB Nation, they “gave drivers points based on their finishing order in the weekly top 10. If a driver got the most noise in a given week, he was awarded 10 points; if he finished 10th, he received one point, and so on.”

CARCHEX Fans and Junior Nation will not be surprised by the winner for crowd noise – Dale Earnhardt, Jr. consistently ranked at the top of the list each week.

Dale Jr. will drive #88 this weekend in both series

JR is revving up for a fast weekend

On May 21, 2010, Dale Earnhardt Jr. fought for a 7th place finish at Bristol. Only five months later JR will be behind the wheel of  #88 in both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series at Thunder Valley. In his last 17 races at Bristol, Earnhardt has finished 11^th or better 14 times.

“In 21 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at Bristol Motor Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has scored one win, seven top-five finishes and 12 top-10s” said Hendrick Motorsports.
“The 35-year-old driver has an average finishing position of 11.4 and has completed 98.6 percent of all laps he’s attempted (10,365 of 10,513 total). He has led 743 laps at the .533-mile oval. His 11.4 average finish at Bristol is a personal best for the driver in the Sprint Cup Series.”

In the nationwide race, JR will be driving the Realtree Outfitters/CARCHEX paint scheme on the #88 and is racing with Pops (crew chief Tony Eury Sr.), whose son helped JR to a win at Daytona in 2004.

On the world’s fastest half-mile, anything is possible.

Dale Jr. and Elliot Sadler Look Forward to Races This Weekend

JR Motorsports has its eyes on the prize as it gears up for two races this weekend in New Hampshire.

In 21 Nascar Sprint Cup Series, the race on Sunday, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, CARCHEX spokesman Dale Jr. has scored five top-five finishes, eight top-10s and has led for more than 350 laps there. Dale also ranks fifth in the driver rating category, according to NASCAR’s loop data statistics, with a score of 100.7 out of a possible 150.

“New Hampshire is one of the smaller tracks we go to, and I like racing on the shorter, flatter tracks. We had a real good setup there last year so I’m looking forward to going back there,” said Earnhardt.

Dale Jr., backed by Crew Chief, Lance McGrew, will drive the 88 car with a new chassis.

Emporia, Va. native, Elliott Sadler will begin the first of a 10-race stint driving JRM’s No. 88 Realtree Outfitters Chevrolet at Loudon. Sadler, a NASCAR veteran with 126 starts in the Nationwide Series is slated to compete for JRM at O’Reilly Raceway Park on July 24, Michigan International Raceqay on Aug. 14, and Richmond International Raceway on Sept. 10.

“This is going to be a cool week for me. It’s been about a year since I’ve driven double duty with the Cup and Nationwide Series, but I’m looking forward to it. I’ve talked to Dale Jr. about running the 88 car for a while, and it just happened to work out this way. JR Motorsports has a great partner in Realtree Outfitters and I’m pumped to debut their car in New Hampshire. It’s a perfect match for both JRM and Realtree. They’re a great sponsor and one that, as a hunter, I can really get behind. Everyone is really going ot like the camouflage look of this 88 car,” said Sadler.

Realtree Outfitters becomes the newest partner for JR Motorsports at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Realtree, the world’s leading camouflage designer, market, and licensor, will sponsor the No. 88 Chevrolet in five races this season starting at Loudon.

Sadler becomes the sixth driver to wheel JRM’s flagship No. 88 this season.

In six starts at the one-mile track of Loudon, Sadler earned one top-five, one top-10 finish and has led 20 laps.

Great job guys, keep it up!

JR Motorsports taps Coleman Pressley to drive flagship #88 Chevrolet

A third generation NASCAR driver, Coleman Pressley, son of former NASCAR driver Robert Pressley, has been selected by JR Motorsports to jump behind the wheel of the #88 car during the June 5th Nationwide Series race at Nashville Superspeedway.

“We like what we’ve seen in Coleman during his limited time in the Nationwide Series. We’re always looking for young talent and with Jamie [McMurray] out of the car for a few weeks, this gives us the opportunity to put a young guy in there and see how he does. So we’ll have a look at him driving the 88 at Nashville and Kentucky,” said Tony Eury Sr., Crew Chief of the #88.

Pressley has eight career Nationwide Series starts and holds 26 short-track victories. His best finish in a Nationwide event was 15th he received while racing at Darlington with R3 Motorsports.

In addition to the new driver, the #88 will also be sporting a new paint job, featuring JR favorite restaurant, Whisky River and country music star Lee Brice.

CARCHEX, a sponsor of JR Motorsports, would like to wish Pressley and the entire JR Motorsports team the best of luck this weekend at Nashville!
