►08/15/2018 - Michigan and Mid-Ohio Post-Race Report

For the second time in three race weekends, MBM Motorsports competed at two separate venues on the same weekend in the top two divisions of NASCAR, fielding an impressive total of four cars for the team.

In the Monster Energy Cup Series, MBM partnered with another organization, Rick Ware Racing, to field a Chevrolet for Timmy Hill in the Consumers Energy 400 at Michigan. The group welcomed another new sponsor on board, Rewards.com, and debuted a lively color scheme that featured the company's RWRD tokens.

Hill qualified at a speed of 185.648 MPH, fast enough to earn the 37th starting spot. The team was not able to complete the race though due to an electrical failure, likely caused by the loss of the battery. Fans who watched the race will recall the sizable chunk of debris that Ty Dillon struck at the end of the backstretch that punctured the oil cooler on his #13 and initiated his incident. Video shown on Monday on NBCSN's program NASCAR America appears to show the battery coming loose from the #66. Hill wound up 37th in the final rundown.

At the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, MBM had three cars racing in the Rock N Roll Tequila 170. The full-time driver of the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota, Chad Finchum, made his second-career Xfinity Series road course start. Tim Cowen returned to MBM for his sixth start with the team and third at his home track of Mid-Ohio, driving the #66 Cowen Logistics Ford. MBM also ran the #13 Dodge for journeyman driver John Jackson in his second start of 2018.

Of the three, Cowen had the best qualifying run, timing in with a lap of 1:29.154 and making the Top 33, which means he qualified for the race on his speed and avoided having to use a provisional. Saturday was Cowen's eighth Xfinity Series appearance, and his sixth at Mid-Ohio. He has attempted every Xfinity held at the track, dating back to the inaugural event in 2013, qualifying for his first race in 2014 and making the field every year since. 33rd on the grid on Saturday was Cowen's best since that first Mid-Ohio start.

The 59-year-old Cowen only had 10 practice laps on Friday to reacclimate himself with the Xfinity Series car, and thus many of the setup adjustments the team wanted to test had to be shelved. The team used the first half of the race to improve the handling of the car with several setup adjustments, and Cowen was as fast as he had been all race at the end of the event. At the end of the 75 laps, Cowen crossed the line on the lead lap in 26th, earning his third career lead lap finish and second at this track.

All the MBM cars came home with minimal damage, but there were a few close calls. Coming from 36th on the grid, Chad Finchum drove his #40 Toyota up through the field. He dodged the spun #60 of Chase Briscoe on one of the restarts, taking to the grass to avoid the stationary car. On the last lap, he was racing teammate Cowen for the 26th spot, and while running side-by-side, Finchum hit a curb at a bad angle and spun. The Knoxville, Tennessee driver did get back across the line in 29th, achieving just his third lead lap finish in the Xfinity Series and 13th Top 30.

John Jackson ran 23 laps before retiring with transmission issues, driving the same chassis that ran as the #66 at Watkins Glen the previous week. He finished 35th, a one position improvement over his result from his first start of the 2018 season at Chicagoland.

►08/04/2018 - Watkins Glen Post-Race Report

Both MBM Motorsports cars qualified into the NASCAR Xfinity Series race from Watkins Glen International, on a weekend in which the teams had to overcome no dry practice time prior to qualifications.

Timmy Hill, driving the #66 CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge, made the field on speed, guaranteeing himself a spot in the starting lineup. Hill made the Top 33 by more than 1.3 seconds. This race, the Zippo 200 at the Glen, marked Hill's 150th start in the Xfinity Series, and the second consecutive year in which the Port Tobacco, Maryland driver qualified an MBM Dodge into the field on speed.

Chad Finchum qualified his #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota in 35th, turning an identical lap time to Stephen Leicht. Finchum equaling Leicht's lap time ensured that the Knoxville, Tennessee native would qualify for the race on a provisional.

The race itself featured a dry start, heavy rain in the early portion of Stage 2, and then the return of sunshine to the Finger Lakes region of New York. The track dried quickly under a red flag to repair the tire barrier in Turn 1, and the field went back to slicks for the balance of the event.

Finchum was under power at the finish, gaining lots of experience that he can apply in the season's remaining road course races. His race result was compromised on the pace laps however, as the driver reported effectively no brakes just after the cars rolled off pit road. The MBM team went to the garage to bleed the brakes, returning to the circuit 7 laps down. The #40 team was able to take advantage of some attrition and wound up 29th in the final running order, Finchum's 12th Top 30 in his 26th career series start.

Hill took the #66 car to the garage when the rain arrived at the circuit, finishing 36th.

The next stop for the Xfinity Series comes at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, the second consecutive road course race for the series.

►08/03/2018 - Watkins Glen Pre-Race Update

After a lot of mid-week entry list shuffling, 41 cars will compete for 40 starting spots in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Zippo 200 at the Glen.

MBM Motorsports has two teams entered. Chad Finchum, driving the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota, is seeking his first start on a road course in the Xfinity Series. Timmy Hill, piloting the #66 CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge, has three previous Xfinity Series starts at Watkins Glen, as well as two series starts at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and three series starts at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

Only 15 cars took to the track on Friday practice due to the wet track conditions, but both MBM cars went out in the second and final session. Hill was 4th quick and Finchum was 7th quick, both competing two laps.

►08/03/2018 - Pocono and Iowa Post-Race Report

For the first time in team history, MBM Motorsports competed at two different major NASCAR events on the same race weekend. Timmy Hill drove the #66 Lehigh Valley Phantoms Toyota at Pocono in the Monster Energy Cup Series, and MBM fielded two cars in Newton, Iowa in the Xfinity Series.

On the Cup side, Hill qualified at a speed of 164.678 MPH, nearly 4 MPH faster than his best practice lap. The speed earned Hill the 27th starting position after 13 Cup teams had their time trial speeds disallowed for failing post-qualifying inspection. While aided by the inspection failures of the other cars, the 27th place grid slot marked Hill's career best starting spot for a premier series race, improving over a previous best of 32nd at Talladega in 2015 for Premium Motorsports. It was also the best grid position for MBM's Cup team to date, besting a 33rd at Texas in November 2017 with driver David Starr.

Follow the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Twitter @LVPhantoms.

The 25-year-old was driving chassis number 819, the first race for that car this season. With limited practice time, the team struggled to hit a comfortable setup. The handling at the start of the race was off far enough that the driver thought there may have been a part broken in the front end, so the #66 crew went behind the wall to diagnose the issue further. By the end of the race, the car had improved significantly, but the time in the garage had prevented a higher finishing position. Hill took the checkered flag on track, finishing 36th.

At Iowa Speedway for the Xfinity Series, Stan Mullis returned to the #66 TLC Resorts / LasVegas.net Chevrolet, partnering MBM's full-time driver, Chad Finchum, in the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota. Finchum qualified for the race on speed and placed 29th, matching his starting position at this track from earlier in the season. Mullis, in his third series start, qualified 37th, a one position improvement over his previous best.

MBM entered the U.S. Cellular 250 with great optimism. Finchum was running a new composite chassis, and through practice, the team found more speed in the car than the one he drove to a 26th place finish at this track back in June. His race on Saturday was brought to a premature end, however. A brake mounting bracket came loose from the rear end of the car, allowing the left rear brake caliper to drag the wheel and create excessive heat. Under the caution for a spin by Vinnie Miller, the field worked around the track at reduced speed, significantly reducing the amount of airflow over the car. The heat grew rapidly at that stage and started a fire just behind the driver's seat. Video of the incident can be found below, courtesy of NBC Sports Network.



Finchum got out uninjured, but the interior of the car is ruined and some of the composite body is damaged. The team was planning to take this car to Bristol in a few weeks.

Mullis, in the other MBM car, ran out of fuel around lap 110 and lost several laps while the crew got the car restarted. He soldiered on to the finish and took 33rd, equaling his result from this track earlier in 2018.

►07/22/2018 - New Hampshire Post-Race Report

Chad Finchum scored his best career finish to date on a non-restrictor plate track in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday.

The Knoxville, Tennessee driver qualified his #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota in 34th, running eight laps in Round 1 of qualifying, two more than any other driver. After missing practice time on Friday, the team and driver opted for the additional track time provided by the 15 minute session.

The first two stages of the race were strong from the #40 team. Finchum took the green flag for Stage 3 on the lead lap and ran competitively throughout. With just 23 laps to go, he and Garrett Smithley, driving the #0 for JD Motorsports, made contact entering Turn 1. The #40 Toyota spun around and cut down the left front tire in the incident. Finchum hustled his machine back to pit road, and the MBM crew replaced the flat and effected repairs quickly, so as not to lose an additional lap, saving the team several spots in the final rundown.

At the checkered flag, Finchum came home 21st, just one spot away from his second Top 20 in three weeks. The finish is the 23-year-old's third career Top 25, all having come in 2018. Finchum has now moved up to 32nd in driver points.

MBM Motorsports qualified a total of three cars into the Lakes Region 200. Timmy Hill made the Top 33 on speed in the #13 Toyota, and team owner Carl Long put the #66 Chevrolet in the field in 38th. Both of those cars raced through the conclusion of Stage 1 and pulled off in Stage 2.

►07/20/2018 - New Hampshire Pre-Race Update

MBM Motorsports will seek to start three NASCAR Xfinity Series cars at the 1-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend. Chad Finchum continues his full-season program in the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota, and regular driver Timmy Hill slides over to the third MBM entry, the #13 Toyota. Team owner Carl Long will drive for only the second time in 2018, his first attempt since Dover, in the #66 Chevrolet.

The series held two practices on Friday, and Hill was the quickest MBM car in final practice at a speed of 121.667 MPH. Finchum was 35th fastest but brought out a red flag in the session when he stopped on the backstretch. The team changed carburetors, among other adjustments, to get the car ready for raceday. Long completed 9 laps in his Chevrolet and was 37th quickest.

►07/20/2018 - Kentucky Post-Race Report

MBM Motorsports looked to ride their wave of momentum into Kentucky Speedway, fresh off one of the best weekend-long performances in team history at the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway.

Timmy Hill returned to the seat of the #66 Monster Energy Cup car, welcoming sponsorship from Jason Appleton's Crypto Crow, a new crypto currency. The team missed setting a time in qualifying after failing NASCAR's Optical Scanning Station in the rear end by a scant 15 thousandths of an inch. Coming from 39th and shotgun on the field for the Quaker State 400, Hill drove the Crypto Crow Toyota to a 34th place finish. Taking the checkered flag on track was a nice way to bounce back for the team after MBM suffered a DNF at Chicago in their last Cup event.

The Xfinity Series ran their 300 miler on Friday evening. Hill qualified the #66 CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge in 29th. The Port Tobacco, Maryland native has qualified in the Top 30 in all six 1.5-mile track races so far in the 2018 Xfinity season and for the fifth time in a Dodge. Hill retired from the race after 55 laps with fuel pump issues.

Chad Finchum spent all of practice in race trim and qualified his car 35th. The #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota was dialed in for the race. The Knoxville, Tennessee driver spent most of his night in the Top 30 and was in contention for another Top 25 finish before the transmission gave out less than 30 laps from the end of the race. Finchum was classified 31st in the final rundown.

Next up for the NASCAR Xfinity Series is the "The Magic Mile" at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

►07/13/2018 - Daytona Post-Race Report

The NASCAR Xfinity Series treated MBM Motorsports to one of the greatest weekends in team history over the July Daytona weekend.

Two practice sessions were held on Thursday. Timmy Hill, driving the #66 VSI Racing Toyota, practiced 10th quickest in the opening session, and Chad Finchum, focusing on single-car runs, placed his #40 Amana Heating & Air Conditioning / CrashClaimsR.Us Toyota 31st fastest of the 37 cars that ran.

In the late afternoon practice, with rain approaching the speedway, most teams opted not to practice. However, both Finchum and Hill took their Toyotas out together and continued working on drafting practice. They shot to the top of the leaderboard and remained there for the duration of the session. Finchum led final practice with a speed of 185.567 MPH and Hill followed close behind in second place with a speed of 185.540 MPH. It marked the first time an MBM Motorsports car finished an official NASCAR Xfinity Series session on top, and the first 1-2 finish for the team in any official NASCAR sanctioned session.

Drafting each other, the MBM drivers went 1-2 in Final Practice.

Qualifying was supposed to commence on Friday afternoon as the first official track activity of the day, but heavy rains came over the 2.5-mile oval and washed out time trials. Based on owner points, Finchum would line up 35th on the grid and Hill would take the start from 36th.

The race was scheduled for 100 laps but ran to 105. Several multi-car crashes occurred, and the MBM boys used some slick reactions to dodge the worst of each incident and bring both cars home largely in one piece.

Timmy Hill scored an incredible 7th place finish for the #66 team. In his 147th Xfinity Series race, Hill equaled his best ever Xfinity finish, achieved his third series Top 10 (first since 2012), and fourth ever NASCAR Top 10 (first since 2013). He improved his best series finish with the MBM team by a full 10 positions (bettering 17th at Talladega and Iowa in 2017). The result earned the team their first ever Top 10 finish, improving on a previous best of 13th with Alon Day at Mid-Ohio in 2016 and Brandon Hightower at Daytona in 2017, both in the #40 car. The previous best result for the #66 team in 2018 was two 27th place finishes (Bristol and Talladega).

The right side of the #66 is clean after 105 racing laps.

For Finchum, his 22nd career Xfinity Series start and third restrictor-plate race delivered a career-best finish, the first Top 15 and Top 20 of his NASCAR national touring series career, with 14th place. It was his second career lead lap finish and first at a restrictor-plate track. Finchum's second Top 25 bettered his previous best result by a full 11 positions.

In addition to achieving the team's singe best ever result, the double Top 15 easily stands as the best ever two-car result in team history. MBM had a double Top 20 at Mid-Ohio in 2017 with Enrique Baca and Tim Cowen driving.

Finchum and Hill are now 34th and 35th in driver points, respectively. Both MBM cars jumped ahead of the #55 JP Motorsports team in the owner points with these results. Next up on the Xfinity schedule is the Alsco 300 at Kentucky Speedway, which will run Friday night, July 13, with television coverage on NBCSN.

►07/04/2018 - Daytona Pre-Race Report

MBM Motorsports heads to Daytona Beach, Florida for the final NASCAR Xfinity Series restrictor-plate race of the season with two teams.

Chad Finchum will be driving the #40 Amana / CrashClaimsR.Us Toyota in his third plate race in the series. He earned a 28th place finish at Daytona in February, a career-best to that point in his young career.

Chad Finchum qualified 36th and finished 28th in February.

Timmy Hill will race the #66 VSI Racing Toyota, seeking his sixth start in an Xfinity race at Daytona. Hill has a personal best at this track of 7th, two Top 10s, and all five finishes have been in the Top 25. In a partnership with VSI Racing this week, the same association for MBM as Talladega earlier this season, Hill will run a "stars and stripes" paint scheme on the #66 in honor of the 4th of July and American Independence Day.

Timmy Hill returns to the #66 for the first time since Michigan.

►07/02/2018 - Chicagoland Post-Race Report

All three NASCAR national touring series competed at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois over the weekend, and the drivers, teams, and fans were all faced with brutally hot weather conditions.

MBM Motorsports worked hard to field four cars across the top two division of NASCAR, including three Xfinity Series cars for the third time in 2018.

Timmy Hill pulled off another terrific lap in Round 1 of qualifying on the Xfinity side to comfortably make the Top 33 and therefore earn his spot on the grid on speed, with a margin greater than six tenths of a second. Rookie of the Year contender Chad Finchum qualified 34th in the #40 Toyota. The #66 team welcomed a former MBM driver back to the cockpit in John Jackson, in his first start of the 2018 season, and he qualified 38th quickest.

Finchum's 21st career Xfinity Series start did not go according to plan. The engine expired on his Smithbilt Homes Toyota before the end of Stage 1, giving the Knoxville, Tennessee driver his first DNF since Talladega. Jackson and Hill both dropped out of the race shortly thereafter with other mechanical gremlins, finishing 36th and 37th, respectively.

On the Monster Energy Cup side, Timmy Hill qualified the #66 CrashClaimsR.Us Toyota at a speed of 167.567 MPH, limited by a super tight handling condition. The run ended up being fast enough for 35th on the grid when several other teams failed post-qualifying technical inspection. That spot marked a three-position improvement over MBM's only previous Cup start at this track, 38th in 2017.

In his 70th premier series start, Hill raced competitively through the first two stage, battling Kyle Weatherman, B.J. McLeod, and Reed Sorenson for much of the day. Early in Stage 3 though, the engine broke a piston and forced Hill to retire after 185 of the Overton's 400 267 laps. He was classified 39th in the final rundown.

►06/21/2018 - Iowa Post-Race Report

MBM Motorsports had a successful weekend in Newton, Iowa, as the NASCAR Xfinity Series took center stage in the stock car racing world, while the Monster Energy Cup teams had an off weekend.

Chad Finchum qualified in the Top 30 for the sixth time in 2018 at Iowa, and the Knoxville, Tennessee driver drove one of his most competitive races to date. Finchum was fighting well inside the Top 30 on legitimate pace for the majority of the race. But while running 24th in the late going, the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota cut down a right front tire and brought out the fourth caution flag of the race. The team was able to replace the tire and make a few quick repairs, but a sway bar arm heim joint was broken in the incident and the team had to just ride the rest of the race to reach the checkered flag.

Despite missing out on another potential career-best finish, Finchum can be proud of his 26th place, as it's his second-best Xfinity result to date and ninth Top 30 in only 20 career starts. It also extends the #40 team's streak to four consecutive Top 30 finishes.

Stan Mullis in the #66 TLC Resorts Vacation Club Chevrolet qualified 38th and finished 33rd. The team went to the garage area mid-race to repair a mechanical issue on the car, but Mullis made it two-for-two in his Xfinity Series career running at the finish.

MBM ran three Xfinity cars for only the second time in 2018, with regular driver of the #66 Timmy Hill sliding over to the #13. Hill qualified 35th and finished 37th, completing 75 laps before retiring with brake trouble.

Both the #40 and #66 teams picked up valuable owner points over their immediate competitors in the championship at Iowa. MBM will hope to continue those gains in the next Xfinity Series race in Chicagoland on June 30th.

►06/12/2018 - Michigan Post-Race Report

The high-downforce package raced by the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Michigan produced a very unique style of racing, especially noticeable in Stage 1 of the LTi Printing 250.

Rain stayed in the area of the Michigan International Speedway all weekend. Xfinity qualifying was rained out and the lineup was set according to the rulebook. Chad Finchum started the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota from 36th and Timmy Hill began his race from 37th in the #66 Dodge.

Chad Finchum earned his third straight Top 30 at Michigan.

Both MBM Motorsports cars proved competitive in the race, racing on the lead lap for most of the event. Pit strategy bit the team at the very end, as the rain returned at an inopportune time. Still, Finchum achieved a third-straight Top 30 finish, the second such streak of his young career. P29 is also a career-best on a 2-mile track, bettering his 36th place from Fontana earlier this season. Furthermore, Finchum achieved his first-career lead lap finish, in his third-best result of 2018.

Timmy Hill's P31 result was his
best finish at Michigan since 2012.

Hill also ran the full distance and lost a lap in the final stages, or it could have been a double lead-lap performance for the MBM team. The Port Tobacco, Maryland native came home 31st, driving the only Dodge in the field for the third consecutive race.

On the Monster Energy Cup side, Timmy Hill qualified the #66 CrashClaimsR.Us Toyota in 38th. Rain delayed the start of the race on Sunday and shortened the race distance considerably. The team was able to take advantage of multiple caution flags, two free pass awards, and the wave around to remain on the lead lap at the end of Stage 1, and the #66 wound up only one lap off the leaders at the end of the event. Hill finished 35th, marking the third consecutive points race that the #66 has been running at the finish.

►06/06/2018 - Michigan Pre-Race Report

New track, same cars, same teams. MBM Motorsports will head to the 2-mile Michigan International Speedway this weekend for the second consecutive weekend of the NASCAR Xfinity Series racing with the high downforce package. MBM will use the same two chassis this weekend that the team used in Pocono.

Chad Finchum will make his 20th NASCAR Xfinity Series weekend appearance, seeking his 19th career start. He has not competed at Michigan previously, but did start the Fontana race earlier this season, another 2-mile oval.

Timmy Hill has three previous Xfinity starts at Michigan, two with Rick Ware Racing and the most recent with MBM. That start came just one year ago. Hill qualified and finished 39th in that event.

Hill has two prior premier series starts at Michigan, once in 2013 for Frank Stoddard and once in 2015 for Premium Motorsports.

►06/06/2018 - Pocono Post-Race Report

Both MBM Motorsports cars qualified for the Pocono Green 250 at the 2.5-mile Pocono Raceway, despite just missing the Top 33. Each team, both the #40 and #66, picked up more than 1.5 seconds from their best practice lap on Friday, demonstrating the significant improvement the team made with changes to the cars overnight.

Timmy Hill, driver of the #66 Dodge, put up a 151.128 MPH lap, placing him 34th on the starting grid, and Chad Finchum, driver of the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota, qualified 35th at 150.524 MPH.

MBM Motorsports will be focusing on its two full-time NASCAR Xfinity Series teams this weekend in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. The 2.5-mile Pocono Raceway, often referred to as The Tricky Triangle, welcomes the Xfinity Series for just the third time in series history.

In the inaugural event in 2016, MBM qualified both of their cars in the Top 33, and T.J. Bell drove his #13 Dodge to a 32nd place result. Last season, Timmy Hill carried the banner for the team, qualifying and finishing in the Top 30.

In 2018, 41 cars are preliminary entered for the 40 available starting spots. MBM returns Chad Finchum and Timmy Hill to their cockpits this weekend for the 100-lap Pocono Green 250. The Xfinity Series will employ the high downforce package for the first time this season and the first of two consecutive race weekends, as the package will be repeated again the following week at Michigan.

►05/31/2018 - Charlotte Post-Race Report

Memorial Day weekend returned a bag of mixed results for the MBM Motorsports team at the 1.5-mile Charlotte Motor Speedway.

In the Monster Energy Cup Series, Timmy Hill qualified the #66 CrashClaimsR.Us Toyota in 36th on scuffed tires. The Coca-Cola 600 is the longest Cup race on the schedule, and it therefore places high demands on every component on the car. The Toyota struggled on restarts but proved more competitive on long runs. Hill soldiered on for all 600 miles, and for the second consecutive Cup points race, he came home 32nd.

Timmy Hill finished 32nd in the 600, a one position
improvement over his 33rd place result in the
MBM Cup car at this track last October.

The Xfinity cars practiced on Thursday and then did not get back on track until qualifying on Saturday morning. Both MBM cars practiced inside the fastest 33: in the second and final practice, Hill was 29th quickest and Chad Finchum was 31st. However only one of the cars was able to replicate that speed in qualifying. Timmy Hill drove onto the track first in the 15-minute duration Round 1, and promptly posted a speed not only good enough for the Top 33 but was fast enough to make the Top 24 and Round 2 of qualifying for the third time in 2018.

FOX Sports 1 recognized this performance, not only because of the raw speed produced by the MBM team, but because it was accomplished in a steel body car, which is required to carry 150 more pounds of weight than any entry using a composite car. Footage of Timmy Hill's qualifying lap, which includes leaving distinct tire rubber on the track at the exit of Turn 2 plus an interview from Regan Smith, can be found below.



While the team celebrated the success of the #66, they also were forced to stomach the disappointment of their first DNQ of the season for the #40 car. Chad Finchum was unable to reach the Top 33 with the Toyota and did not have enough owner points accumulated to be awarded one of the seven points provisionals.

During the Xfinity race, the #66 was arguably the most competitive it had been in any intermediate track race this season. With the use of a free pass at the end of Stage 1, Hill was only one lap back of the leaders in the early going of Stage 3, racing several teams in the midfield completely on merit.

Late in the race, the track bar mount began to rip off the trailing arm, which destabilized the rear end of the car. The left rear tire started dragging and gave Hill a very uncomfortable sensation in the corners. The team repaired the car the best they could in the garage and salvaged a 30th place finish.

►05/24/2018 - Charlotte Pre-Race Report

Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us. Many racing fans around the world refer to this Sunday as the greatest day of the year for motorsports. May 27, 2018 is the scheduled date for the 76th Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, the Verizon IndyCar Series' 102nd Indianapolis 500, and NASCAR's longest race, the 59th Coca-Cola 600.

MBM Motorsports will field a car in the Coca-Cola 600 for the first time in team history, with Timmy Hill returning for the third consecutive race weekend to pilot the #66 Toyota. Hill has two previous starts in the 60; he finished 27th in 2013 and 29th in 2017. 40 cars are now shown on the entry list, after the withdrawal of the second Rick Ware Racing Chevrolet, so the team is locked into the field.

Meanwhile, the Xfinity Series entry list is the second-largest of the season, behind only the season-opening race at Daytona. With 43 cars competing for the 40 available starting spots, three teams will be forced to pack up after qualifying on Saturday morning. Recall that the Top 33 fastest drivers guarantee themselves a starting position after Round 1 of qualifying, and the balance of the field is then determined through NASCAR's provisional systems.

After a lineup change at Dover, MBM will return to its usual two car Xfinity operation with Chad Finchum in the #40 and Timmy Hill in the #66. Finchum does have a start under his belt at Charlotte last October, starting 34th and finishing 29th. Hill has 11 previous Xfinity races at this track, including five for MBM.

►05/23/2018 - Charlotte All-Star Post-Race Report

Timmy Hill completed all 50 laps of the Monster Energy Open and finished 18th driving the #66 SentinelOne Toyota at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

This was the second All-Star race weekend for MBM Motorsports, though on-track activity was severely hampered by precipitation on Friday. Practice was almost entirely washed out, and qualifying for the Open was cancelled, with the lineup set according to car owner points. NASCAR decided to insert an additional practice period on Saturday morning to make up for the lost track time.

Hill ran a clean race and earned his best All-Star Open event finish to date with P18. He will back behind the wheel of an MBM Cup car for the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend.

MBM Motorsports is proud to welcome SentinelOne to the team for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series All-Star race weekend at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. SentinelOne offers services to protect retail companies and their customers from internet hackers.

Visit the SentinelOne website at SentinelOne.com.

Timmy Hill will pilot the #66 SentinelOne Toyota, his second ride in an MBM Cup car in 2018, fresh off a 32nd place result at Kansas. Hill does have one previous All-Star race weekend appearance, coming in the 2013 Sprint Showdown driving for Frank Stoddard in the #32 Ford.

The MBM #66 team did run the Monster Energy Open in 2017. Team owner Carl Long qualified 20th and finished 17th in the 24-car field. In 2018, 21 teams have entered the Open, the last chance qualifying event for the Monster Energy All-Star Race.

This specific #66 car is a different chassis from the one raced at Kansas, as NASCAR is running an experimental rules package for this race weekend. The new technical specifications include a restrictor plate, larger front splitter, larger spoiler, and large front aero ducts. These changes form a high downforce package meant to create similar effects to those of the high-downforce Xfinity cars at Indianapolis last season.

The MBM Motorsports team came home 32nd, taking advantage of some late race attrition to achieve that position. The result is Hill's best Cup finish since his 14th at Indianapolis last July. It is also a one position improvement over the Toyota's previous race, when Chad Finchum drove the chassis to a 33rd at Bristol.

►05/10/2018 - Kansas Pre-Race Report

The MBM Motorsports Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series car will return to action this weekend at Kansas Speedway.

Timmy Hill has been selected as the driver of the #66 Toyota for Kansas. Hill has six previous starts at this track in the premier series, including a 22nd place finish in 2012 driving for Frank Stoddard. His most recent Cup race here came with Rick Ware Racing just last season, improving 11 positions over his starting spot to finish 28th.

Hill qualified for six Cup races with the MBM team in 2017, including three on 1.5-mile tracks. He also scored a phenomenal 14th place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last season in the #66.

This event marks the one-year anniversary of the debut of MBM Motorsports in the Monster Energy Cup Series. Carl Long made his long-awaited return to the driver's seat at Kansas last year for the first time since 2009. The team started 40th and improved to 31st in the race, Long's second-best career finish.

►05/06/2018 - Dover Post-Race Report

Chad Finchum drove the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota to his NASCAR Xfinity Series career-best finish, capturing a 25th for MBM Motorsports at the Dover International Speedway.

Dover is now Finchum's most experienced track, as three of his 17 Xfinity starts have been made on the one-mile concrete circuit.

Heading to Dover, MBM decided to enter three cars for the first time in 2018. 41 cars arrived at the track to compete for the 40 starting positions, and so MBM's third car, with no owner points to fall back on, had to qualify in the Top 33 in order to make the race. Timmy Hill, who had been driving the #66 through the first nine races of the year, was moved to the #13 car needing to qualify on time, and team owner Carl Long prepared himself to make his first start of 2018 in the #66.

Saturday morning qualifying was a stress-filled adventure for MBM. The #13 Toyota was still in the technical inspection line when Round 1 began, one of several teams that was on the border as to whether they would be able to make an on-track qualifying attempt before time expired. Fortunately, there was a red flag late in Round 1 for debris, and NASCAR halted the session clock. Those couple of extra minutes proved vital for MBM, as the team passed the new for 2018 Hawk-Eye Optical Scanning Station, Timmy Hill got buckled in, and the team was ready to take to the track as soon as the session resumed.

Hill starred in qualifying, reaching Round 2 of qualifying for the second time this season (though Round 2 was not held at Texas Motor Speedway due to inclement weather). The Port Tobacco, Maryland native earned 22nd on the grid for the race, bettering his previous best start at Dover by four positions (2012 with Rick Ware Racing) in his 13th Xfinity race at this track.

Chad Finchum qualified the Smithbilt Homes machine in 30th, marking his fifth Top 30 start of 2018 and a small improvement over his 31st place start in this event one year prior. Carl Long in the #66 Chris Kyle Memorial Benefit / CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge turned in the 32nd quickest time, ensuring all three MBM cars qualified for the OneMain Financial 200.

At the start of Stage 2, both Finchum and Hill were running on the lead lap. Finchum raced hard throughout the day and accomplished the directive of the old racing adage "beat the people you are supposed to beat." The 25th place result for the Knoxville, Tennessee native is a solid accomplishment the team can hope to build on in future races.

Hill came home 35th and Long was classified 39th. The Xfinity Series will now take a couple of weekends off before returning at the Charlotte Motor Speedway on Memorial Day weekend in three weeks' time.

►04/29/2018 - Talladega Post-Race Report

Timmy Hill came home in 27th place in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Talladega Superspeedway for MBM Motorsports after running up front inside the final 35 laps of the race.

The Port Tobacco, Maryland driver started in 38th and remained on the lead lap deep into the race. In Stage 3, the team used pit strategy to run up at the front of the pack, and Hill raced in P4 from Lap 78 to 81, remaining in the Top 10 through Lap 93.

The #66 team ran the same chassis at Talladega that raced earlier in the season at Daytona as the #54 with Gray Gaulding driving. This was a deal completed between MBM and Michael Contarino of VSI Racing, whose logo rode on the hood of the Toyota throughout the weekend.

P27 matches Hill's best result of 2018 to date, a finish he also achieved at Bristol, two races before Talladega.

Chad Finchum in the MBM #40 Toyota started the Sparks Energy 300 in 36th. He raced in the lead draft early in the race but was caught up in a crash at the beginning of Stage 2. Finchum was classified 39th, one of five cars who exited the race in the incident.

►04/23/2018 - Talladega Pre-Race Report

For the next NASCAR Xfinity Series race, MBM Motorsports heads to Talladega Superspeedway, NASCAR's largest oval at 2.66 miles in length and a definite wildcard event on the schedule.

#40 Chad Finchum and #66 Timmy Hill both have the potential for strong results if they can get qualified into the race. Last season, MBM qualified a total of five cars across the three restrictor-plate races and finished in the Top 30 all five times, including three Top 20 finishes. The #40 team brought home all three of those Top 20s in 2017. Brandon Hightower opened up the season with a career-best 13th place finish at Daytona in February driving a Toyota. Timmy Hill strapped into a Dodge for the other two restrictor-plate events and finished 17th both times.

Brandon Hightower earned a terrific 13th place finish
at Daytona in 2017 despite suffering a spin early in the race.

MBM will hope to demonstrate that same success this season, starting this weekend at Talladega. Earlier this season at Daytona, Chad Finchum made his first restrictor-plate race start and finished 28th. His shot at a more competitive finish was limited before the completion of Stage 1, when he cut a left rear tire and lost laps on pit road while the race remained under green flag conditions. Talladega provides the team an excellent chance to rebound and continue the momentum from taking the checkered flag on track at Richmond.

Qualifying will be televised live on FOX Sports 1 at 11:00 am ET. The 113-lap race from Talladega will air on FOX, with flag-to-flag coverage beginning at 3:00 pm ET.

►04/23/2018 - Richmond Post-Race Report

The NASCAR Xfinity Series put on a one day show at Richmond Raceway, capped by the running of the 2018 ToyotaCare 250, the second Dash 4 Cash of the season.

Chad Finchum made his fifteenth Xfinity series start on Friday night, driving the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota. He made the Top 33 in qualifying for the fourth consecutive race, a noteworthy achievement for the MBM Motorsports team. Despite fighting the handling of the racecar from the first practice, the team persevered through the race, and Finchum took the checkered flag on track for the first time since Atlanta in February. The Knoxville, Tennessee driver finished P34.

The team is optimistic that this week will be the beginning of a season turnaround. After taking a bit of an owners points hit following the Texas accident, the #40 has recovered up to 39th in the standings, now just five points behind the #55 JP Motorsports team.

The best showing for the #66 Chris Kyle Memorial Benefit / CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge at Richmond came in the opening practice session. Driver Timmy Hill put up a lap that placed him in the Top 25 by the end of the session. Hill qualified 39th and finished 36th, retiring from the race after 107 laps when the fuel pump cable broke.

►04/16/2018 - Richmond Pre-Race Report

The MBM Motorsports team heads to Richmond Raceway for a Friday night NASCAR Xfinity Series race under the lights.

Chad Finchum will be looking to rebound from an engine failure at Bristol that ended a career-best run for the 23-year-old. Finchum had charged up through the field in Stage 1 of the race, capitalizing on his wealth of short track experience. He will look to apply that same knowledge this weekend at Richmond in his 15th Xfinity series start. Finchum has one K&N Pro Series East start at this circuit, driving for Jeff Spraker in 2012.

Timmy Hill will be seeking his 10th Xfinity start at Richmond Raceway, including his sixth with MBM (other four with Rick Ware Racing). Hill's best result in an MBM car at this track came at this event one year ago, when the Port Tobacco, Maryland driver scored a 28th place finish in the #40 #HelpSamBass Chevrolet.

MBM Motorsports honored the legendary
motorsports artist Sam Bass last season at Richmond.

40 cars are entered for the 40 available starting positions. Barring any post-entries, all teams will qualify for the race.

►04/16/2018 - Bristol Post-Race Report

Chad Finchum pulled double-duty for the first time in his young NASCAR career this weekend at "The Last Great Colosseum," the 0.533-mile Bristol Motor Speedway.

MBM Motorsports was very pleased to have several companies join the team at the track this weekend as sponsors on the racecars, including Food City, Concrete North Inc., and Smithbilt Homes. Finchum, a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, was excited to race at his home track driving his full-time Xfinity Series ride and making his first effort in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

For the second time in as many weeks, both MBM Motorsports Xfinity cars, piloted by Finchum and Timmy Hill, placed in the Top 30 in both Friday practice sessions. Each driver made the Top 33 in qualifying again as well, with Finchum qualifying 29th and Hill earning 31st on the grid.

Unfortunately, engine issues cropped up again on the #40 Toyota, relegating Finchum to a frustrating 36th place result. The 23-year-old was slicing his way through the field during Stage 1 and looked poised to claim his best Xfinity finish to date. Luckily, the series returns to another short track at Richmond Raceway next weekend.

Timmy Hill ran deep into the event and was racing competitively in the Top 25 in the early portions of Stage 3. The brakes were deteriorating on his #66 Chris Kyle Memorial Benefit / CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge as the race wore on, and the team decided to retire in order to keep the car in one piece. MBM will utilize this same chassis again at Richmond.

On the Cup side, Finchum only got 20 practice laps before his first qualifying effort in NASCAR's premier series. He placed his #66 Toyota 38th in the starting lineup and looked forward to raceday. The Cup race would be hampered by precipitation, forcing a postponement to Monday midway through Stage 2 of the event. Finchum held 31st overnight during the red flag and wound up 33rd in the final finishing order. He completed 335 laps in the race before heading to the garage with a broken track bar.

►04/09/2018 - Bristol Pre-Race Report

MBM Motorsports has a chance to rebound in a big way this coming weekend at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

Chad Finchum will be pulling double duty, including making his Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series debut at the legendary track dubbed "The World's Fastest Half-Mile." The team will be running a Toyota in their first race back in Cup since Mark Thompson's 22nd place finish at Daytona.

In addition, MBM will be proud to welcome a new sponsor to the sport, as Concrete North, Inc. of Elk Grove, California will adorn both of Finchum's cars, Cup and Xfinity. Tennessee-based company Smithbilt Homes continues their support of Finchum as well. The Knoxville, Tennessee native is set for an incredible weekend at his home track.

►04/09/2018 - Texas Post-Race Report

MBM Motorsports and the rest of the NASCAR Xfinity Series returned to racing after nearly three weeks away from the track by visiting the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway.

The team invested significant time and labor over the break to try to resolve the nagging engine issues that had hampered the two car Xfinity operation since the beginning of the season. With the batteries recharged after the "West Coast Swing," the team was able to diagnose and correct the gremlins. Then the focus turned towards extracting more speed and performance from the cars, with Texas being the third 1.5-mile intermediate-style track in the first six events.

The team's efforts were demonstrated and validated on Friday, as both MBM drivers, Chad Finchum and Timmy Hill, placed in the Top 30 in both practice sessions for the first time this season. Friday practice took place in the heat of the day on Friday afternoon, and the team would be greeted Saturday morning with vastly different temperatures for qualifying and the race. Many teams had to make significant chassis adjustments to keep up with the changing track conditions.

Saturday qualifying was plagued by long inspection lines, and with an entry list of 42 cars, several Xfinity teams, who ordinarily would not be concerned about qualifying for the race, suddenly were in danger of being sent home without getting an opportunity to post a lap time. Multiple red flags flew in Round 1 of qualifying, including for both on-track incidents and weather-related issues. Heavy mist shrouded the track throughout the session, and many teams waited until late in the session to post a lap time at speed.

Timmy Hill in the #66 Chris Kyle Memorial Benefit / CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge would be the first driver in the field to attack the Texas Motor Speedway during Round 1 of qualifying, and after feeling it out on his first lap, he posted a time six tenths of a second faster than his best practice lap to vault himself to the top of the board. Hill would go out later in the session and better his time again on his fifth and final lap, placing 23rd and set to advance to Round 2 of qualifying. Due to the weather conditions, NASCAR decided to cancel the remaining rounds of qualifying and set the starting lineup based on Round 1 results. The 23rd place start was Hill's personal best since Chicago in 2016.

Chad Finchum in the #40 Smithbilt Homes / TLC Resorts Vacation Club Toyota likewise improved his practice time by one-third of a second, and he secured himself a 26th place starting spot. Not only was 26th a personal-best on an intermediate track, it was an Xfinity Series career-best to date.

Unfortunately, yet again the race results will fail to demonstrate the competitiveness of the MBM Motorsports cars. Finchum spun on the second lap of the race after getting up out of the racing groove in Turn 1 but did a masterful job keeping his Toyota out of the wall. With no damage, Finchum was able to drive back to the pits, replace the tires, and on the ensuing restart he started working his way back up through the field.

Disaster would strike with 11 laps to go in Stage 2. Finchum was racing Alex Labbe in Mario Gosselin's #36 car, and after the pair made contact in Turns 3 and 4 on the previous lap, they made contact again in Turn 1, this time much more severely. Finchum was sent into the outside retaining wall at a high rate of speed. The impact destroyed the rear of the car and was violent enough to lift the left side tires of the #40 up into the air. The Knoxville, Tennessee driver climbed out of the car without assistance from the track safety team, uninjured in what Finchum described as "the hardest hit I have ever taken in a race car."

►04/02/2018 - Texas Pre-Race Report

Chad Finchum will be seeking his sixth start on a 1.5-mile track in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway. The Knoxville, Tennessee driver now has 12 career starts to his credit, but this will be his first trip to this circuit.

Chad Finchum has a best Xfinity finish to date of 28th
(twice, 2017 Bristol and 2018 Daytona [pictured]).

Timmy Hill returns to the #66 in what will be his fifth trip to Texas driving for MBM Motorsports. Hill has four premier series starts and eight Xfinity starts (four with Rick Ware Racing and four with MBM) at this track. In fact, the Port Tobacco, Maryland native's first race with MBM came at Texas in April of 2015. Hill drove the #40 Chevrolet in both events at this track in 2017, placing 31st in April and 30th in November.

►03/17/2018 - Fontana Post-Race Report

Chad Finchum picked up his best ever career starting spot for the Roseanne 300 at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.

The MBM Motorsports team showed strong form in practice, with Finchum placing his #40 Smithbilt Homes / TLC Resorts Vacation Club Toyota 25th in the first practice of the weekend. Timmy Hill, driving the #66 Chris Kyle Memorial Benefit / CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge, also demonstrated speed early on, placing 28th in the same session.

In the second and final practice, Finchum made a 10 consecutive lap run, focusing on how the handling characteristics of the car changed as the tires wore out and fuel burned off. After struggling a bit with the car's drivability in Phoenix last weekend, the team wanted to be sure the #40 would perform better over the course of a longer run in race setup this week.

Qualifying once again seemed to be the highlight of the MBM race weekend. Finchum delivered a superb lap, not only backing up his practice time, but recording a lap time eight tenths of a second faster than in practice. The lap speed of 172.476 miles per hour was quick enough for P28 on the grid. The starting spot was a best ever for Finchum in his 12th career start, bettering his 30th place start from two weeks ago at Las Vegas by two positions.

With the fast practice speeds and decent qualifying efforts, MBM entered the race with high hopes of achieving decent finishes for the two cars. Unfortunately, the engine gremlins would strike the #40 Toyota again, as the Knoxville, Tennessee driver broke a rocker arm before the halfway point in the race. Finchum wound up 36th. It marks the second consecutive weekend engine woes have put a premature stop to the 23-year-old's efforts.

Timmy Hill ran a few laps deeper into the race but also was forced to retire before the halfway point; he finished 35th. With clutch problems on Mike Harmon's car in the early going of the event, the #66 MBM car is now three points ahead of the #74 in owner points, which could play a crucial role in determining provisionals at future events. The next stop on the NASCAR Xfinity Series tour will be at the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway.

►03/13/2018 - Fontana Pre-Race Report

Chad Finchum and Timmy Hill will complete the NASCAR West Coast Swing driving for MBM Motorsports in the Xfinity Series. This week the series heads to the 2-mile Auto Club Speedway. After this race weekend, the Xfinity teams will have two weeks away from the race track, so everyone will be looking to end the first stretch of the season on a high note.

40 teams are entered for 40 spots, so again this week all entered cars will qualify for the starting field. The crucial owners points battle among the full-time teams, including the two MBM cars, the #45 JP Motorsports car, and the #74 Mike Harmon Racing car will continue again this weekend.

Chad Finchum will be making his 12th Xfinity Series start to date in the #40. This will be the Knoxville, Tennessee driver's first attempt at one of the couple of 2-mile ovals on the NASCAR circuit.

►03/13/2018 - Phoenix Post-Race Report

ISM Raceway threw mixed weather conditions and a high degradation tires at the NASCAR Xfinity Series teams this weekend in Phoenix.

Chad Finchum in the #40 Angry Crab / Mohawk Market Toyota qualified 36th for the race, driving one of the new composite bodies. This was the same chassis that Carl Long started in the Phoenix race last November as the #13 and has carried a flashy green and yellow paint scheme in its two races so far.

Follow Chad Finchum on Twitter @ChadFinchum.

The team struggled with a severe tight condition all weekend. Unfortunately, the engine expired on the #40 shortly after the halfway point of the event. Finchum would be classified in 36th.

Timmy Hill managed a slightly better result in the #66 Chris Kyle Memorial Benefit / CrashClaimsR.Us Chevrolet, driving one of the traditional steel body cars. This particular chassis was also last raced at Phoenix at the end of 2017 with Hill behind the wheel. After qualifying 38th, Hill was able to overtake Mike Harmon's #74, a crucial position in the owners points battle. Hill soldiered on the finish and reached the checkered flag in 34th.

►03/03/2018 - Las Vegas Post-Race Report

MBM Motorsports had a banner day in qualifying for the Boyd Gaming 300 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS), but the team left the track with unrepresentative finishes after performing well in Stages 1 and 2 of the race.

Chad Finchum in the #40 Smithbilt Homes / TLC Resorts Vacation Club Toyota completed 20 laps in the final practice session on Friday afternoon, turning the 31st fastest lap of the 40 cars. Timmy Hill in the #66 Chris Kyle Memorial Benefit / CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge made a single lap in order to conserve tires for raceday, but he still managed to place 26th on the board.

The greatest success of the weekend for the team came in Round 1 of qualifying on Saturday morning. Hill earned his best-career start at LVMS with a lap time of 30.778 seconds, good enough for P25. The Port Tobacco, Maryland native was just 44 thousandths of a second away from advancing into Round 2 of qualifying. The starting spot was also Hill's best grid position since Chicago back in 2016, when he drove the #13 Toyota into Round 2 of qualifying and scored a P22 starting spot.

Finchum put up a solid lap as well, bettering his best practice time by more than five tenths of a second, and earning the 30th place grid position for the Boyd Gaming 300. The Knoxville, Tennessee driver earned his best career starting position to date, eclipsing his previous best start by one position (Dover I and Bristol II, 2017).

The qualifying performance was not only record-setting for the drivers, but also marked a best-ever result for the MBM team. Previously, the best double qualifying result for MBM was at Richmond in 2015, when Hill placed the #13 car 27th and Carl Long qualified the #40 car in 31st. This weekend's efforts in Las Vegas thus mark the first time MBM has ever qualified two teams in the Top 30 for an Xfinity Series event.

Early on in the race, both teams were running respectably, with sizably improved pace from Atlanta just one week ago. Finchum was running well inside the Top 30 and racing several cars just one lap down near the end of Stage 1. Hill likewise was running hard and continued to work with his team to improve the long-run pace of the Dodge.

Chad Finchum raced in the Top 30 for the majority of Stage 1 and 2.

Unfortunately, both cars were forced to retire midway through Stage 3. Finchum wound up 32nd after completing 140 laps. The #40 Toyota suffered a broken ball joint and Finchum had no choice but to stop the car. Similarly, Hill retired with mechanical gremlins after running 134 laps and was classified 33rd. Leaving Las Vegas, Finchum stands 35th in driver points. Hill, despite missing the season opening race in Daytona, is shown in 39th.

Finchum finished his first Las Vegas race in 32nd.

One week remains in which provisional starting spots will be assigned based on 2017 car owner points. Heading to ISM Raceway (formerly Phoenix International) next weekend, the teams in the back half of the Xfinity garage will be battling hard for owner points positions to help secure their starting spots in future races. The MBM #40 team will be competing against the SS Green Light Racing #76 and RSS Racing #93 teams for owner points positions heading to Phoenix. The MBM #66 team is locked in a duel with both the JP Motorsports #45 and Mike Harmon Racing #74 teams. Much like the battle to be in the Top 35 in owners points in past seasons with the Top 35 rule, all of the teams listed above will know the importance of each and every point they can garner at this stage in the season.

►02/26/2018 - Las Vegas Pre-Race Report

The NASCAR Xfinity Series begins its "West Coast Swing" this weekend at the 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway. MBM Motorsports will return to the track this weekend with two cars. Chad Finchum jumps back aboard the #40, and Timmy Hill will run the #66, the same driver lineup MBM has used at each race so far in 2018.

The Boyd Gaming 300 on Saturday will mark Finchum's tenth Xfinity series start and fifth on a 1.5-mile track. His best finish on this type of circuit to date has been 29th, which he achieved at both Kentucky and Charlotte last season. Finchum currently sits 33rd in the Drivers Point Standings after the first two events of 2018.

Timmy Hill has three premier series and two Xfinity series starts at Las Vegas, including his debut in what was then the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Last February, he pulled double duty in Las Vegas, driving the primary MBM Xfinity #40 on Saturday and Rick Ware Racing's #51 Cup car on Sunday. Hill's best Xfinity finish at this track came in 2011, when he placed 24th in just his second ever series start. His best Xfinity qualifying position at Las Vegas came last season driving for MBM, when Hill made the Top 33 on speed to guarantee himself a spot in the race.

This weekend, 41 cars are preliminarily entered for the 40 available starting spots. Provisionals will continue to be based on 2017 car owner points for the first four events of the season.

►02/25/2018 - Atlanta Post-Race Report

MBM Motorsports got both of its Xfinity Series cars qualified into the Rinnai 250 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, but the team struggled to extract the same performance from its cars in the race.

Practice on Friday afternoon saw the team deliver promising speeds, with 23-year-old Chad Finchum placing 26th during the opening practice in his first laps around Atlanta. 24-year-old Timmy Hill led the MBM brigade in final practice, posting the 33rd quickest practice speed.

Qualifying would be a crucial performance test for the team for the second consecutive race weekend. 42 cars arrived at the circuit to compete for 40 available starting positions. To be guaranteed a starting spot in the race on speed, a driver must crack the Top 33 at the end of Round 1 of qualifying.

Chad Finchum in the #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota Camry wound up P34 at the end of Round 1, turning in a lap time of 32.033 seconds. The spot was his best starting position in an Xfinity race since Charlotte last fall, also P34.

Timmy Hill in the #66 CrashClaimsR.Us Dodge Challenger turned in an excellent time at 31.716 seconds, placing him P29 on the grid and ensuring he would be in the race after the heartbreaking miss at Daytona last week. The result marked the best starting position for the second MBM car since Chicago last September, when Hill qualified in 28th.

Replicating the team's qualifying success in the race was always going to be an uphill battle, given the extra weight the team had to carry this weekend. In an effort to ensure the competitiveness of the new composite body Xfinity cars and incentivize teams to make the transition, all competitors utilizing the steel body must maintain a minimum weight 150 pounds heavier than the composite car requirement. That extra weight results in more severe tire wear, and consequently exacerbates any ill-handling a team might already be fighting. Both the #40 and #66 were traditional steel bodies at Atlanta.

Nevertheless, Finchum, Hill, and their respective crews all worked valiantly throughout the event to improve on their chassis setups. Both drivers took the checkered flag on track and recorded Top 35 finishes, with Hill in 34th and Finchum in 35th.

The Rinnai 250 was the first race since Mid-Ohio last season when both MBM cars were running at the finish. Finchum has now been running at the finish of his last four consecutive series starts, ensuring he continues to gain maximum on-track experience each week. Dating back to 2017, the primary MBM #40 car has taken the checkered flag on track for the last seven consecutive events.

The Xfinity Series heads west next weekend to the 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

►02/21/2018 - Dodge Returns to Action

MBM Motorsports revealed their manufacturer choices for this weekend's Rinnai 250 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Chad Finchum will be running the same Toyota that he competed with in the 2017 season finale at Homestead-Miami, and Timmy Hill will be using the blue Dodge that ran several of the events late last year. On track activity is scheduled to begin on Friday.

►02/19/2018 - Atlanta Pre-Race Report

The second NASCAR Xfinity Series race of the 2018 championship takes place this weekend at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia. MBM Motorsports will look to qualify two cars into the Rinnai 250.

Chad Finchum will be driving the #40 car, fresh of his first restrictor-plate outing at Daytona. Finchum has three starts in the Xfinity Series on 1.5-mile tracks so far, finishing in the Top 30 in all three events to date. In all three races, Finchum improved multiple positions over his starting spot, going from 38th to 29th at Kentucky, 34th to 29th at Charlotte, and 36th to 30th at Homestead.

Chad Finchum has been running
at the finish in six of his last seven starts.

Timmy Hill is listed on the preliminary entry list as the driver of the second MBM car #66. The Port Tobacco, Maryland driver has three previous Xfinity starts to his credit at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, with a best start of 22nd in 2011 and a best finish of 33rd, both in 2012 and in 2017. His first two starts came with Rick Ware Racing, and his start last season was indeed with MBM in the primary #40 car. Hill was running at the finish last year in his CrashClaimsR.Us Toyota.

►02/19/2018 - Daytona Speedweeks Results

Mark Thompson scored the second best ever Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series finish for MBM Motorsports in the 60th Running of the Daytona 500.

After retiring from the second Can-Am Duel, Thompson officially qualified for the 500 on his time trial speed, placing the 66-year-old veteran in 40th position on the grid for the Great American Race. He would run a controlled race, dodge all the carnage, and brought the #66 Phoenix Air Ford Fusion home in 22nd place with only minor damage to the right side of the car.

The finish is bettered only by Timmy Hill's 14th place at Indianapolis last season and becomes the second Top 25 for MBM in Cup. The team's next best Cup finish to date has been 28th, twice last year.

In the Xfinity Series on Saturday, it was a day of mixed emotions. Chad Finchum started 36th in the race and was running to plan when he cut a left rear tire just before the conclusion of Stage 1. The #40 Smithbilt Homes Toyota lost several laps running around the apron of the track getting back to pit road and removing the shredded rubber in the pits. Finchum did a great job to minimize the damage and keep the car in one piece.

Late in the race, Finchum hung in the lead draft for extended periods of time and worked his way through the field, despite being off the lead lap, showing strong potential if he could just get his laps back. Unfortunately, the team had another late-race extended pit stop and was unable to capitalize on a rash of late yellows once other cars fell off the lead lap.

Despite all the carnage, the 23-year-old crossed the finish line in 28th place with virtually no damage. The result matched his career-best Xfinity Series finish at Bristol in 2017. It is Finchum's fifth Top 30 result in his eight series starts to date.

The heartbreak of the day occurred following the Xfinity qualifying session Saturday morning. Timmy Hill in the #66 CrashClaimsR.Us Toyota qualified at a speed of 181.788 miles per hour, falling less than three tenths of a second from the Top 33 that are guaranteed in the race on speed. But with other cars lower in owner points also unsuccessfully making the Top 33, the #66 should have been awarded the final provisional starting spot in the PowerShares QQQ 300, and when the first starting lineup was released, Hill was in the race.

However, in post-qualifying inspection, two cars who had made the Top 33 on speed failed tech. NASCAR disallowed their qualifying speeds, dropping them from the Top 33. This elevated the #52 and #54 cars into the field on speed, and when the provisionals were recalculated, Hill fell eighth on the list, one provisional spot short of making the race. With the reset grid, Hill was less than six hundredths of a second away from making the race on speed.

In addition to the incredible disappointment, this causes a major financial loss for the team. MBM Motorsports will attempt to rebound next weekend at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Serious sponsorship inquiries are welcomed by the team at contact@mbmmotorsports.com.

►02/13/2018 - Daytona Speedweeks Xfinity Series Drivers

The entry list for the season opening NASCAR Xfinity Series race has been released, featuring 46 cars set to attempt to qualify for the PowerShares QQQ 300 at Daytona International Speedway.

As previously announced, Chad Finchum is driving the #40 Toyota. It was announced recently that Smithbilt Homes would be rejoining Finchum's car with primary sponsorship. MBM Motorsports has acquired the owners points of the #48 Chip Ganassi Racing team from 2017, essentially locking Finchum into Saturday's season opener.

The second car this season will utilize the #66. For the first four races of the year, this team will make use of the points the #40 team accumulated in 2017. With a 46 car entry list, it will be marginal whether or not this car will have enough points for a Provisional starting spot, so to ensure the car gets in the field, the team will be working hard to make the Top 33 in qualifying.

Driving duties have been assigned to Port Tobacco, Maryland driver Timmy Hill. Now a staple of the MBM driving lineup, Hill has had tremendous success at Daytona in the Xfinity Series. In just five starts at the track, he has racked up three Top 12 finishes, four Top 20s, and four lead lap finishes. If he qualifies, Hill would be making his 133rd Xfinity Series start.

Follow Timmy Hill on Twitter @TimmyHillRacer.

The #13 car will now become the third MBM entry. Although not competing in the season opening race weekend, look for the #13 to debut in a limited schedule early in the season.

►02/13/2018 - Daytona Speedweeks First Weekend Wrap Up

Mark Thompson qualified for the Great American race with a time trial speed of 186.463 miles per hour, the 37th fastest speed of the day. This was Thompson's fastest lap on track in the Cup car this weekend by more than six tenths of a second. The #66 Phoenix Air Ford has been slotted into Can-Am Duel Race #2, in which Thompson will roll off 18th.

Video of the Thompson's qualifying run is available below, with credit to FOX Sports.



In his ARCA Racing Series car, Thompson finished the final practice all the way up in the second position. Group qualifying did not work out quite as fortunately for the veteran driver, but he still managed to secure a Top 20 starting spot in P19 for his 100th career ARCA start.

Thompson dropped to the rear of the field prior to the green flag, hoping to avoid any potential early carnage. He took the green flag in P37, but quickly started maneuvering up through the field. For much of the middle and late stages in the race, Thompson had his #66 Ford solidly in the Top 10, racing for a Top 5 finishing position with the strongest cars in the field.

Unfortunately, several cars made contact in front of Thompson on what would have been the final lap of the event, and the #66 was swept into the accident with nowhere to go. All drivers escaped injury in the crash, but MBM's ARCA composite car is torn up after being collected in the crash. Thompson was classified P27 at the conclusion of the event. Video of the last few scheduled laps and ensuing incident can be found below, courtesy of FOX Sports and YouTube user CrashRacing for the capture.

►02/08/2018 - Daytona Speedweeks Underway

The ARCA Racing Series kicked off Daytona Speedweeks with a two hour long practice session this afternoon. Mark Thompson took the #66 Phoenix Air Ford around the Daytona International Speedway at 178.525 miles per hour, placing 24th on the speed chart. Final practice takes place Friday morning and will be followed by group qualifying at 3:30 pm EST to set the starting grid. The race on Saturday will be Thompson's 100th ARCA career series start.

The preliminary Daytona 500 entry list was released late Thursday afternoon and features 40 teams for the Great American Race. If no late entries are received, Thompson and the #66 MBM Motorsports team will be guaranteed into the Daytona 500 starting field.

►02/04/2018 - Daytona Speedweeks Preview

MBM Motorsports is excited to embark on another ambitious schedule across the top two divisions of NASCAR in 2018. Stock car fans anxiously await the first races of the season for all three NASCAR national touring series over the next two weeks at the "World Center of Racing," the 2.5-mile trioval that is the Daytona International Speedway.

After the successful debut of the #66 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series team one season ago, MBM is excited to return for another partial schedule this season with the Cup team. In the Xfinity Series, MBM will field two full-time teams for the fourth consecutive season in 2018, with a third car running a limited schedule.

As for Speedweeks, MBM welcomes back 66-year-old Mark Thompson to drive car #66 in a bid to qualify for the 60th Daytona 500. The Vietnam War veteran and now CEO of his own company, Phoenix Air, will be attempting to make the 500 for the first time in more than 25 years.

attempt for the Daytona 500. Another driver would take
over the car for his Twin 125 and the team did not qualify.

Thompson's lone prior attempt to make the Daytona 500 came in 1992, when he time trialed a #62 Ford. Ben Hess took over driving duties in the Duel race, but involvement in an early crash prevented the team from making the 500.

Now in 2018, Thompson will once again run a Ford at Daytona. This chassis was purchased from Richard Petty Motorsports and will run under the MBM banner for the first time at Daytona.

As with last season, the #66 will be competing as an Open car, meaning Thompson is not guaranteed a position in the starting field. To ensure a spot on the 500 grid, he will have to be one of the two fastest Open cars in single-car time trials or be the highest finishing Open car not already in the field in his Thursday night Duel race. Check back for updates as Speedweeks develops.

In addition to his Cup ambitions, Thompson rejoins the MBM team for the ARCA Racing Series season opener at Daytona, the Lucas Oil 200 Driven by General Tire. Thompson holds the distinction of being the oldest polesitter in ARCA history, scoring the first starting spot at Daytona in 2015.

on all types of track configurations in 2018.

There are also big plans for the primary MBM Xfinity car in 2018. Knoxville, Tennessee native Chad Finchum is working on sponsorship efforts to compete in the full season driving car #40 for MBM. Finchum made seven starts last year with the team, finishing in the Top 30 four times, including a 28th place at Bristol in August. Daytona will mark Finchum's first restrictor-plate race, so the 23-year-old will be working hard to gain as much experience as he can on his first trip to Daytona.

The MBM team will have at least one additional Xfinity car entered at Daytona. Check back in the coming days for updates.
