Deranged doctor design

NASCAR will use passing points and finishing position in the qualifying heat races to determine the starting lineups for its Cup and Camping World Truck Series races later this month on the Bristol Motor Speedway dirt track. “We just wanted to add some elements in setting the lineup for the future that were from the roots of dirt track racing,” said Scott Miller, NASCAR senior vice president of competition. “I think it will be fun.” Truck and Cup each will have two practice sessions on March 26. The Trucks will have their heat races and their feature event on March 27. The Truck feature race will be at 8 p.m. ET on FS1. Cup teams will have their qualifying races on March 27.

An athlete’s life moves quickly and the nine-time Supercross/Motocross champion was not ready to slow down when he retired in 2017 – so Ryan Dungey looked around for something else to fuel his passion and RD Coffee was born. During years of circling the United States and traveling internationally as an ambassador for motorcycle racing, Dungey drank gallons of coffee. Some of them were good. Some were bad. A few were great. Anyone who has had a great cup of specialty coffee – that did not come from a can of pre-ground beans from a grocery store and is not doctored up with steamed milk and artificial flavors – knows how subtle the difference between good and great can be. It is much like the tiny differences in a race that build up to seconds at the checkered flag. The coffee journey starts with the bean and ends in the cup. Any mistakes along the way can ruin the experience. “I started drinking coffee early in my racing career as a professional,” Dungey told NBC Sports. “I was … [Read more...] about RD Coffee fuels Ryan Dungey’s passion
