►05/08/2022 - Xfinity Darlington Results
Both MBM Motorsports cars came home on the lead lap in the Mahindra ROXOR 200 at the Darlington Raceway, as the NASCAR Xfinity Series contested its annual Throwback weekend at the track heralded as "Too Tough to Tame."
J.J. Yeley laid down a strong lap in practice to put his #66 WORKPRO Tools Ford Mustang 16th quickest in the Friday afternoon session. Rain arrived to interrupt qualifying before Yeley was due on-track, and NASCAR ultimately had to cancel the remainder of time trials. Through the NASCAR Qualifying Performance Metric, the 45-year-old earned P20 in the starting lineup.

The #66 team paid tribute to the late Bobby Hamilton with their Throwback scheme. Hamilton, a four-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner and the 2004 NASCAR Truck Series champion, drove the Country Time pink lemonade #68 car in the 1993 Cup Series. With that same pink lemonade color combination, Yeley finished 33rd and 27th in the first two Stages. The Phoenix, Arizona native continued to advance up the order in the final laps, ultimately taking the checkered up in 25th. That result is the seventh Top 25 of the season for both driver and car #66 through the first eleven races of the year.

Timmy Hill made his first Xfinity Series attempt since qualifying the RSS Racing #38 entry at Auto Club Speedway back in February. The 29-year-old piloted the #13 Coble Enterprises Toyota Supra, which carried a design honoring the late Ricky Hendrick's 1999 NASCAR Busch Series car from his debut season in the second-tier of NASCAR. Hill had a dramatic practice session, as the driver felt the splitter dragging the ground while still on pit road before heading out onto the racing surface. He reported the handling of the car to be free in Turns 1 and 2 but more crucially tight in Turns 3 and 4. Upon arriving back to the pits, the MBM crew found the left front splitter was worn completely away. The team made several adjustments to raise the nose of the car and balance the platform, but with worn tires by the end of the session, Hill ended up 39th best in the 40-car field.

The #13 car was due to be the third team on track during qualifying, and now had a tall order to make the race with the splitter having been ground off the car during practice. Hill improved over his best practice lap by 0.577 seconds, setting a 30.730 second lap. When qualifying was halted after 15 cars, Hill stood P11 on the leaderboard. A clear improvement over practice, but he still needed to beat three more cars to lock into the Top 33 and guarantee a starting spot. This became a moot point with rain washing out the remainder of the session. Hill and the #13 team made the field as set by the rulebook and were scheduled to start 38th based on the Qualifying Performance Metric.

Prior to the start of the race, NASCAR issued the #13 team a drive-through penalty due to a tire placement infraction during the impound on Friday. Hill served this at the end of the first lap under green, which placed him a lap down almost immediately. The #13 car was then sent for wild ride exiting Turn 4 on lap 10 of the race, as #4 Bayley Currey hit the left-rear quarterpanel of Hill and spun the Coble Enterprises machine out. Fortunately, Hill put his significant experience to good use and kept the #13 car clean and able to return to the race after a tire change.

By the end of the race, the Port Tobacco, Maryland native was able to take advantage of four free pass awards to be restored to the lead lap, the first such finish for the #13 team in 2022. Hill took the checkered flag in P33 in his tenth Xfinity race at Darlington.
►05/03/2022 - Xfinity Dover Results
MBM Motorsports was able to race two NASCAR Xfinity Series cars for the first time in 2022 in the A-Game 200 at the newly renamed Dover Motor Speedway.
J.J. Yeley got back to the Top 25 at Dover to end a multi-race stretch of bad fortune. He practiced the #66 CW & Sons Infrastructure Toyota Supra at a time of 24.085 seconds, 26th fastest. Yeley improved to a 23.803 in qualifying, making the race on time by more than a tenth and securing 31st on the starting grid for Saturday. The Phoenix, Arizona native picked up stage finishes of 26th and 20th, demonstrating the car had the speed to compete for a solid result. The #66 machine became too tight near the end of the race, but Yeley finished as the highest placed driver on his lap at the checkered flag. The 45-year-old wrapped up his race in P23, scoring his first Top 25 in the series since he had five-consecutive to open the season. The MBM #66 is now 27th in car owner points, just two markers behind the Emerling-Gase #35 and four ahead of the Big Machine #48.

Prior to the race weekend, the #13 MBM Motorsports team acquired the owner points of the RSS Racing #28 entry. Leaving Talladega, the #13 team had failed to qualify for its first five attempts of the season and ranked 45th in points. With the RSS #28 reaching the end of its planned schedule, the two organizations reached an agreement that provided MBM with the 35th place points the #28 team had earned through the first nine races. This points transfer proved hugely important on Friday at Dover. Chad Finchum went out to practice his #13 Garrison Homes / UNITS Moving & Portable Storage Toyota Supra and struggled with a soft brake pedal. After practicing 38th best, Finchum picked up three tenths of a second in qualifying, good enough for 35th place of the 39 entries, but two positions short of the Top 33 that are guaranteed in the race on time. Fortunately, the newly acquired points were enough to get the #13 the fifth points provisional. Finchum got to start his first Xfinity race since Bristol in September last year, and the MBM #13 finally had its first race start of 2022.

The Knoxville, Tennessee native had a lot of issues to overcome in his race on the 1-mile concrete oval. MBM had improved his car significantly by the late laps, but time lost early in the event proved too great to overcome. The 27-year-old got his Toyota Supra to the checkered flag in 32nd place, the only car on his lap. In his ninth Xfinity race at this track, it is the fifth time Finchum has been running at the finish, including each of the last three.

►04/25/2022 - Cup Talladega Results
J.J. Yeley finished the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway in 25th place, scoring just the seventh NASCAR Cup Series Top 25 finish in MBM Motorsports team history.
Practice was not held at the 2.66-mile superspeedway, the largest oval on the Cup schedule, in order to minimize the need for the race teams to prepare backup cars. On Saturday, the #55 HEX.com Ford Mustang qualified at a speed of 172.038 miles per hour, securing the 38th place starting spot in the 39-car field.

The HEX.com machine was fitted with an FR9-231, a Roush Yates powerplant, under the hood, and the speed of the #55 car in Stage 1 reflected it. Yeley stayed in the lead draft for a significant portion of the early laps, only getting shuffled out of a pack of cars following the green flag pit sequence. The Phoenix, Arizona native lost a lap to the leaders moments before the first caution flag of the race, but Yeley raced his way into the free pass position and regained the lead lap at the third caution, in the middle of Stage 2. He would go on to record a very respectable lead lap, P24 Stage 2 result. The #55 team also stayed out for the first lap the pits were open at the stage break and were credited with leading lap 122. It is the first lap led by an MBM Cup entry since the race at this same track in October 2020, 51 races ago.

The team was positioned well to capitalize in Stage 3, but surprisingly, the final stage ran caution-free. The MBM team had trouble fueling the car on what was supposed to be the final pit stop of the day, necessitating a second trip down pit road under green in the final laps. While this relegated the HEX.com car to 25th place in the results, the finish is only the fourth Top 25 for MBM on a superspeedway and the second-ever for the team at Talladega.
►04/25/2022 - Xfinity Talladega Results
After an incredible sequence in the early laps, the NASCAR Xfinity Series Ag-Pro 300 at Talladega Superspeedway ended in disappointment for the MBM Motorsports team.
Like the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity teams did not have a practice session scheduled for Talladega, as the industry wanted to keep teams from having to build backup cars for the event. Instead, the only on-track activity on Friday was single-vehicle, one-lap qualifying. J.J. Yeley piloted the #66 RHSUSA.com / Coble Enterprises Chevrolet Camaro to a time trial speed of 179.048 miles per hour, fast enough for 28th on the starting grid and locked into the field on time by 0.208 seconds.

The Phoenix, Arizona veteran driver stayed within sight of the leaders throughout Stage 1 and wound up taking the first green-and-white checkered flag of the day up in 15th place. MBM decided to employ an alternate pit strategy and stayed out under the stage caution. Yeley restarted the race in 3rd position behind #23 Anthony Alfredo and #68 Brandon Brown. Those drivers moved up the track into the second and third lanes, opening the inside for Yeley to charge forward and take the lead with drafting help from #9 Noah Gragson and the momentum from the rest of the inside line. The #66 car led laps 31 and 32. They were the first racing laps of Xfinity competition led by an MBM entry since Timmy Hill led at Darlington in 2021, 18 races ago, and the first green flag laps led by an MBM entry since Hill at Daytona in August 2020, 53 races ago.

The tremendously positive start to the race unraveled with the multi-car incident at the end of Stage 2. #91 Mason Massey spun exiting Turn 2 and clipped the right-rear corner of the #66, spinning Yeley up the track into oncoming traffic and the outside retaining wall. The MBM Chevy Camaro was running 18th at the time of incident. Now on the 6-minute Crash Clock and the NASCAR Damaged Vehicle Policy, the MBM crew worked frantically to try to repair the car well enough to stay in the race. Unfortunately, six minutes elapsed while repairs were still being made, and the #66 was not allowed to continue in the race. With 51 laps complete and two laps led, the car was sent to the garage and wound up with a 36th place finish.

Natalie Decker made her eighth Xfinity attempt, third of the season, and first for MBM Motorsports, driving the #13 Nerd Focus / Hardy Boys Consulting Ford Mustang. She was the second driver of 41 on-track for qualifying, and she laid down a time of 53.695 seconds, or 178.341 miles per hour. That effort placed her 35th in time trial speeds, two positions shy of the Top 33 that are guaranteed in the race on time. The #13 team was only 54 thousandths of a second behind P33, a miniscule amount around the 2.66-mile superspeedway. However, the second MBM entry must now wait yet another week before making its first race start of 2022.
►04/25/2022 - Xfinity Martinsville Results
Early optimism quickly soured with a wounded engine for J.J. Yeley in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Call 811 Before You Dig 250 at Martinsville Speedway.
Practice and qualifying took place on Thursday ahead of the scheduled 250-lap Xfinity race Friday night. Yeley placed 21st fastest in practice with a best lap of 20.617 seconds. He improved to 20.444 seconds in qualifying, though the majority of the field also picked up. The Phoenix, Arizona native wound up 33rd in the session, becoming the final driver to lock themselves into the race on time, just 7 thousandths of a second quicker than the 34th best driver.

The #66 WORKPRO Tools Toyota Supra took the Stage 1 green-and-white checkered in 29th, but the day went awry around lap 72 when Yeley reported the car lost a plug wire or a valve. A quick caution followed that allowed the MBM team to investigate under the hood, but they confirmed that the issue was internal, likely a valve spring. The team soldiered on to take advantage of any further attrition, utilizing a wavearound and two free passes to get back on the lead lap midway through Stage 3. The #66 reached the checkered flag in 31st place, keeping alive its streak of eight consecutive on-track finishes to open the season.

After getting rained out in Atlanta, Chad Finchum returned to the #13 Garrison Homes / UNITS Moving & Portable Storage Toyota Supra in an attempt to qualify at Martinsville. He practiced at 20.871 seconds, placing him 38th best. 43 cars were trying to make the race, where 33 qualify on time, five get provisionals, and five fail to qualify. After practice, the #13 team discussed the need for the car to rotate more in the center of the corner to have the necessary speed. The 27-year-old Knoxville, Tennessee native was the second driver on-track for qualifying and put up a 20.771 second lap, improving from practice by a tenth, but his effort fell short. Finchum missed the Top 33 by 0.327 seconds, sending the #13 team home for the fourth time in 2022.

►04/25/2022 - Xfinity Richmond Results
The Toyota Care 250 at Richmond Raceway proved to be a difficult race for MBM Motorsports.
Saturday morning practice went well for the team, based on the #66 RHSUSA.com / Remote Health Solutions Ford Mustang running the 19th fastest time of 42 entries, a 23.155 second lap. As the track temperature rose, J.J. Yeley ran a 23.248 in qualifying, which fell 24 thousandths of a second short of making the Top 33. The #66 team used their second provisional of the season and started the race in the 35th position.

The Phoenix, Arizona native fired off well to start each stint. For instance, he advanced from his starting spot up to 30th by lap 9. However, Yeley reported the car had absolutely no forward bite, and the lack of grip chewed through the tires on the Remote Health Solutions machine quickly, leaving the team with little pace at the end of the long green-flag runs. The 45-year-old battled hard and was the highest placed driver of three on his lap at the end of the race. He took the checkered flag in 32nd, completing 245 of 250 possible laps.

►04/25/2022 - Cup COTA Results
MBM Motorsports returned to the NASCAR Cup Series for the sixth points event of the 2022 season, bringing along veteran road course expert Boris Said to pilot the #66 Bumper.com Ford Mustang at the 3.41-mile Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

He had to overcome two separate drive-through penalties in the race, one in Stage 1 and another in Stage 3, for cutting the course. The Carlsbad, California native described the car as wrecking sideways at one point, but a rash of late full-course cautions worked to the advantage of MBM. Said masterfully sliced his way through the late race chaos of the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix and got the Bumper.com machine to the checkered flag in P26, on the lead lap. It was the best-ever finish for an MBM Motorsports Cup entry on a road course, a one position improvement from the P27 achieved by Timmy Hill at the Indianapolis Road Course in 2021.
►04/25/2022 - Xfinity COTA Results
The first road course of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series season at Circuit of the Americas proved challenging for the MBM Motorsports team.
J.J. Yeley practiced the #66 RHSUSA.com / Remote Health Solutions Toyota Supra 39th quickest of the 42 entries in Austin, Texas after being hampered by a spin between Turns 5 and 6. He did not make the Top 33 in qualifying, so the #66 team had to take their first provisional of the season to start the race. Yeley would line up 36th on the starting grid for the Pit Boss 250.

The Phoenix, Arizona driver finished Stage 1 in 34th and Stage 2 in 25th thanks to pit strategy. Two cautions in Stage 3 kept the field packed up heading into the final six laps. Yeley, with more than 350 Xfinity starts to his credit, put that experience to good use in the closing laps. 35 cars completed the race on the lead lap, and the 45-year-old got his MBM ride to the checkered flag up in P29. It was the fourth lead lap result for the #66 car from the first six races of the season.
►04/25/2022 - Xfinity Atlanta Results
J.J. Yeley smashed the record for best finish by an MBM Motorsports NASCAR Xfinity Series driver at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, as the vastly experienced racer secured an 11th place finish in the Nalley Cars 250.
The Phoenix, Arizona native practiced 20th best, setting a best lap time of 31.409 seconds or an average speed of 176.510 MPH, despite suffering a flat tire during the session. Yeley was only 0.416 seconds behind P1 in practice at the newly repaved and reconfigured Atlanta. The turns at the speedway in Hampton, Georgia had an increase in banking from 24 to 28 degrees, as well as a significant narrowing of the racing surface, down from 55 to 40 feet. These changes, combined with NASCAR choosing to restrict the horsepower output of the cars in a similar manner to the events at Daytona and Talladega, produced superspeedway-like, pack racing conditions.

From the NASCAR Qualifying Performance Metric, the #66 WORKPRO Tools Ford Mustang lined up 21st on the starting grid for the race. The 45-yeard-old veteran driver collected a 20th place Stage 1 finish, a 19th place Stage 2 finish, two fastest laps in the race, and spent 23 laps inside the Top 15, including at the finish. Yeley carved his way forward in the rash of late-race restarts, taking the checkered flag up in P11. Prior to Saturday, MBM had achieved a best of 20th place at Atlanta, set by Timmy Hill in March 2021.

The second MBM entry had its weekend ended before it even started. Torrential rain blasted the Atlanta Motor Speedway on Friday afternoon, the original scheduled time for all three NASCAR national series to have practice. Due to the new track surface, NASCAR replaced the Saturday qualifying sessions for all three series with a condensed practice. However, with 43 Xfinity teams entered for 38 spots, this decision sent five teams home without even the chance to unload their racecar from the hauler in the garage at Atlanta. Chad Finchum was scheduled to make his first Xfinity attempt of the season in the #13 Garrison Homes / UNITS Moving & Portable Storage Toyota Supra. The Knoxville, Tennessee native will now have to wait for another opportunity later this season to turn his first laps in NASCAR in 2022.

►03/13/2022 - Xfinity Phoenix Results
The lead MBM Motorsports car has started the 2022 season with four consecutive Top 25 finishes, as J.J. Yeley notched another solid result, this time at the 1-mile Phoenix Raceway in the United Rentals 200.
Thanks to sponsor Remote Health Solutions, MBM was able to dedicate the hood of the #66 entry this week to the people of Ukraine, the nation which has been under siege by Russia since February 24th. The ongoing invasion has been labeled the largest military conflict in Europe since World War II. Onboard the MBM Ford Mustang, the specific names of 20 Remote Health Solutions employees and friends located in Ukraine were honored, along with a supportive message asking for prayers for the endangered.

The #66 Pray for Ukraine! / Remote Health Solutions Ford Mustang practiced 30th fastest in the lone 20-minute session. The qualifying pressure was off for the #66 team this week, as for the first time, 2022 points were used to distribute the provisionals for cars that did not qualify in the Top 33. Despite this, Yeley still made the field on time, qualifying 32nd best at a time of 28.392 seconds, securely in the Top 33 by a margin of more than one tenth of a second.

The Phoenix, Arizona native, racing at his home track, once again moved forward in the order as the race progressed. Yeley finished Stage 1 in 29th, and he took the green-and-white checkered flag at the end of Stage 2 up in 25th, still on the lead lap despite fighting a tight handling condition in the middle of the corner.
Stage 3 ended up running caution-free. The 45-yeard-old veteran driver muscled the car deep into the Stage before finally making his final pit stop, allowing the #66 to appear in the Top 10 during the pit cycle. By the checkered flag, Yeley made it back to 25th place, completing 198 of 200 possible laps. This is the second time an MBM entry has started a season with four consecutive Top 25 finishes; the one previous streak was accomplished by the #13 team in 2020 with Chad Finchum, who pulled off seven straight Top 25s to begin the year.

Stan Mullis had another tough weekend as he attempted to make his 2022 Xfinity race debut. The 45-year-old ran 19 laps in the 20-minute practice and was 39th on the leaderboard at the end of the session. For the second consecutive week, the #13 car was due to be the first vehicle on track for qualifying, further adding to the challenge of time trials. Mullis ran his fastest lap of the day on his timed lap, but his run of 29.770 seconds left him 39th of 42 cars and without owner points to fall back on, the #13 LasVegas.net / Sharelife Vacations Toyota Supra did not qualify for the 200-mile feature.

The Phoenix, Arizona native started off practice by noticing an issue in the center of the corners on his #66 HEX.com Ford Mustang, thinking it may have been a fuel pickup problem. Despite this, Yeley ran a 30.990 second lap in practice, placing him 28th on the time sheet. The #66 was scheduled to be the 25th car on-track during qualifying, and the 45-year-old NASCAR veteran used his experience to find a couple more tenths. With a lap time of 30.720 seconds, Yeley locked the HEX.com machine into the race on his speed and earned the 30th starting spot for the race on Saturday.

Yeley was among a multitude of drivers sent to the rear of the field on the pace laps due to using a different chassis for this race weekend than at Fontana. The 300-mile event was filled with action, from several multi-car crashes to a snowfall induced red flag. The MBM #66 team capitalized on the misfortune of others and continued to advance throughout the race, finishing Stage 1 in 33rd and Stage 2 in 26th. By the checkered flag, Yeley rose to 20th overall, beating five other cars on his lap to secure his second Top 20 and third Top 25 of the season. Despite running all three manufacturers in the first three races, Yeley has scored 56 points for the MBM #66 team so far this year, placing himself 16th in driver points and the #66 car 20th in owner points. That point total is the highest for a single MBM entry through three races to start a season in team history.

The second MBM Xfinity entry, car number 13, attempted to qualify for its first race of the 2022 season at Las Vegas with Stan Mullis behind the wheel. The 45-year-old Las Vegas native was seeking his 12th NASCAR national series start, his first since 2020, and his fourth at his home track in Vegas. Mullis practiced the #13 LV.Net / Sharelife Vacations Toyota Supra 41st quickest in the 20-minute practice session prior to qualifying. He did an 8 lap run to open the session and then pitted for an adjustment. The #13 ended the session with 14 laps total, and shortly thereafter, the MBM crew pushed the car to the front of the qualifying line. Mullis was the first Xfinity driver on track in qualifying, but he had a huge moment on his timed lap in Turn 1, preventing him from improving over his best practice lap. Mullis wound up 38th quickest, but since he did not make the Top 33 on speed and ranked low in the provisional order, the #13 team did not qualify for the Alsco Uniforms 300.

►02/26/2022 - Xfinity Fontana Results
J.J. Yeley converted an impressive qualifying performance into a respectable lead lap finish in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Production Alliance Group 300 at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. This was the first Xfinity race at this track since 2020, the penultimate Xfinity race before the COVID-19 induced shutdown.
After the preliminary entry list showed 44 teams with intentions of attempting to qualify, 41 arrived in Fontana ready to compete for the 38 available starting positions. NASCAR debuted a new practice and qualifying format this weekend that will be used for the majority of the season. Under this event structure, the Xfinity teams are given a 20-minute practice session with only minimal adjustments permitted, and then qualifying begins immediately thereafter.

Experience absolutely has value in a format with limited on-track time, giving Yeley an edge that he put to good use. The 45-year-old practiced the #66 Remote Health Solutions / America's Frontline Doctors Toyota Supra 22nd fastest at a lap time of 41.661 seconds. He improved four tenths of a second on his qualifying lap to reach a time of 41.220 seconds, six tenths safe to the Top 33 and securing the MBM Motorsports team its spot on the starting grid. Yeley wound up 24th quickest, recording just the third Top 25 start at this track for MBM.
The Phoenix, Arizona native earned a great Stage 1 finish up in P17 despite fighting a tight condition. Yeley described the feeling in the right front as "greasy," and in Stage 2 the handling worsened to extremely tight. The #66 team completed Stage 2 still on the lead lap and continued to work on freeing the car up. A sequence of late cautions enabled Yeley to pick up a free pass before the final restart back to the lead lap, and the MBM Motorsports driver got the car back to the checkered flag in the third NASCAR Overtime in P22. That is just the second Top 25 finish for the MBM Xfinity program at Fontana.

The #66 has scored back-to-back lead lap finishes to start 2022 and sits in a very strong 17th place in car owner points. Yeley stands in 15th position in the Driver Points Championship.
►02/22/2022 - Xfinity Daytona Results
J.J. Yeley delivered a strong, Top 15 finish for the MBM Motorsports NASCAR Xfinity Series team in the season opening Beef. It's What's For Dinner. 300 at Daytona International Speedway.
The Xfinity cars opened the championship with a 50-minute practice session on Friday, in which Yeley made two single-car qualifying simulation runs. The Phoenix, Arizona native turned a best lap of 49.859 seconds, placing him 36th on the practice sheet, though many cars higher up the order took part in drafting practice. With 47 teams competing for 38 starting spots and an exceptionally strong field of cars entered, the task of making the race would be no small achievement.

The #66 Remote Health Solutions / America's Frontline Doctors Chevrolet Camaro drew 18th in the qualifying order for the single-lap time trials. Yeley put in a 49.974 second lap, nearly backing up his practice time as other cars slowed down. The run comfortably locked the MBM driver into the starting lineup, qualifying 21st overall and safe to the Top 33 by more than a quarter of a second.

For the first two Stages in the 300-mile contest, Yeley and team decided to play it conservatively and hang in the back of the lead draft. The strategy paid off, as the #66 made it to the white flag lap in the lead draft and with a chance for a great finish. Headed down the backstretch, a huge multi-car crash occurred that included #31 Myatt Snider becoming airborne and impacting the catchfence. An entire truck arm from the #31 car penetrated the rear decklid of the #66, but Yeley was able to get the car back to the checkered flag, securing an impressive 13th place finish in the race. That matches the 45-year-old's result from the last Xfinity race at Daytona in August 2021 and is the seventh Top 15 for an MBM Xfinity car at Daytona.

►02/17/2022 - Double Disappointment in Daytona
The MBM Motorsports NASCAR Cup Series program will leave Daytona International Speedway with a double dose of disappointment as neither of its entries were able to qualify into the Great American Race.
J.J. Yeley started the Bluegreen Vacations Duel Race 1 from 21st position, after setting a lap of 52.005 seconds in qualifying on Wednesday night. With #62 Noah Gragson already locked into the race on his time trial speed and running conservatively, the battle for the transfer spot came down to Yeley and #50 Kaz Grala. Yeley, driving the #55 HEX.com Ford Mustang, lost the lead draft in the opening stint but had drafting help from fellow Ford driver #78 B.J. McLeod that kept him within sight of the #50 car. After Grala picked up a pit road speeding penalty, the Phoenix, Arizona native appeared to be in reasonably good shape to make the race. However, Grala latched on to the second pack of lead lap cars and started to close the gap down on the HEX.com machine. The MBM #55 team made a valiant effort, but the #50 car overtook Yeley on the final lap of the race, bumping the 45-year-old out of the Daytona 500. Yeley completed 58 laps and finished 19th, just one position away from making the show.

Timmy Hill qualified the #66 Bumper.com Ford Mustang at a time of 52.263 seconds, which placed him in the 21st starting spot in Bluegreen Vacations Duel Race 2. Based on the results of qualifying and Duel 1, either #44 Greg Biffle or Hill would claim the final starting spot in the 500. Unfortunately, the Bumper.com machine lost the lead draft in the early laps, and with no cautions until the white flag, there was little the Port Tobacco, Maryland driver could have done. Hill finished 56 laps and ended up in 20th place, leaving both MBM cars short of qualifying into the Daytona 500 starting field.

Remote Health Solutions (RHS) is a veteran-owned small business and the premiere virtual health care and telemedicine systems company in the United States. RHS recently partnered with America's Frontline Doctors, a non-profit organization committed to defending medical freedom and ensuring the physician-patient relationship remains free of coercive interference.
47 teams are scheduled to compete for 38 available starting spots at Daytona, meaning nine teams will be sent home at the conclusion of qualifying. For the MBM #66 team to guarantee themselves a starting spot in the race, Yeley will need to be in the Top 33 in time trials, beating 14 other cars. The series will have a lone practice session on Friday, before qualifying and racing on Saturday. FOX Sports 1 will have live television coverage for all of those sessions.
►02/04/2022 - Yeley to Attempt Daytona 500 with HEX.com
For the third consecutive year, MBM Motorsports will bring two NASCAR Cup Series cars to Daytona International Speedway in February as they attempt to qualify into the Great American Race, the Daytona 500. Joining the previously announced #66 Timmy Hill entry, J.J. Yeley will pilot the newly renumbered #55 HEX.com Ford Mustang. The 45-year-old comes from an open-wheel background but is now among the longest-tenured active stock car drivers, as he enters 2022 with 720 combined starts in the top three series of NASCAR. He has six starts in the Daytona 500, the most recent of which came in 2015, with a best finish in the race of 10th in 2013.

This entry was made possible by many people in the HEX.com crypto community contributing towards the team sponsorship goal. HEX is a token on the Ethereum blockchain and offers high-interest certificates of deposit through a process called staking, with $12 billion presently in active stakes.
Now just 11 days from the opening practice at Daytona, the expectation is that 42 Cup drivers and teams will attempt the season opener, which has 40 starting positions available. 36 of those teams hold charters and are guaranteed starting spots in every points event during the season. Both MBM cars will be Open cars, so they must qualify their way into the Daytona 500 either through their single-car time trial lap or beating the other Open cars in their Duel race finishing position.

The driver from Port Tobacco, Maryland should have a strong racecar to pilot on his quest to back up or even improve on his 3rd place finish at this track in 2020. MBM has acquired a Cup chassis from JTG Daugherty Racing that has been converted to Xfinity specifications, and the team will lease a Hendrick engine to power the entry. Hill will be seeking his 12th Xfinity start on the Daytona oval and his 230th in the series overall.
