For the first time in more than a decade, the ARCA Menards Series East will return to historic Rockingham Speedway this Saturday (1 p.m. ET on FloRacing) for the running of the Rockingham ARCA 125.
The event marks the eighth East Series race in the history of Rockingham Speedway and only the second standalone event at the track for the series. Six of the previous seven East Series races held at Rockingham were combination races with the NASCAR Xfinity Series. (more…)
As reported by Toby Christie, Patrick Staropoli, a 35-year-old retina surgeon, will make his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut next weekend at Martinsville Speedway as he’ll drive the No. 24 Toyota GR Supra for Sam Hunt Racing. The Martinsville race will be part of a multi-race deal between Staropoli and the SHR team.
Staropoli will carry primary sponsorship from SYFOVRE (pegcetacoplan injection) on his race car. The surgeon who is also a race car driver is excited for the opportunity to compete with the Sam Hunt Racing team.
“It’s a dream come true to make my NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at Martinsville Speedway,” said Staropoli in a press release. “Really thankful to Sam Hunt for this opportunity and all the work the team is putting in so we can take a fast No. 24 Syfovre GR Supra to the racetrack.”
