Acceleration=v^2/r. 125mph entering T3. ~200 foot turn radius. Convert to metric. Divide by 9.8. 1 car pulled about 5.2G the first part of that corner. #MondayMath#collegewasalongtimeago
What a race, hard to swallow the finish but so proud of what @mattdracing and @LFR95 have become. It takes a village and while we're on the small side, we about took down all the gladiators in the Coliseum last night.
I don’t even know where to start, thank you all so much for the support. I wanted to win so dang bad. The crowd reaction after the race absolutely broke me down and melted my heart. My entire team is so amazing and I’m lucky to have @MikeCWheeler as crew chief...he is THE BEST
A lot of people ask, "what do you do after a win?" Besides celebrating, the answer is we get back to work the next day to try to do it again. @23XIRacing
Favorite picture from the weekend. @23xiracing is one team racing two cars. When one car wins the race, we all win. I was happy that everyone came to Victory Lane to celebrate.
Great W for everyone @23XIRacing and @ToyotaRacing. @KurtBusch had a great day and worked hard for that win, and passed the right way. Proud of everyone involved. Time to celebrate!
We’re stoked to cheer on @BubbaWallace and @23xiracing in the retro-inspired neon Columbia No. 23 Toyota Camry TRD this Sunday at the NASCAR All-Star Race.
Why we stayed out: 7 laps on tires, newest of anyone. P10 of 22 cars on the lead lap. Earlier in race with similar position, it was split who pitted vs stayed. And no one on tires drove to the lead. We were on the same page to stay. It didn't work out. And yes my head hurts.
@23XIRacing built a car and sent it to Japan a couple weeks back. Looking forward to heading to Fuji with a few colleagues to see how much they like @ToyotaRacing Nascar race cars.
Really fun that @kamuikobayashi will get to drive his NASCAR Cup car at Fuji Speedway during the Super Taikyu Final Round weekend in a couple of weeks.
Lots of other NASCAR machinery will be on display during the event along with some pit stop demos.
Frustrating day. O-ring on power steering pump blew out in stage 1. Part was serviced by mfg in off-season and dyno'd at our alliance partner in January. On top our car was dynod last week for multiple runs. Still failed and ruined our event. Chin up. Back to it tomorrow.
Really proud of the effort this group put into building a team from nothing to something over the last 8 weeks. Fast in practice and to be P4 in Daytona 500 qualifying is a big accomplishment.
Even though the #45 is into the round of 12, if we don’t make the final 4, the points are “un-set” to be based on the collective 10 races. Every point matters when ranking 5th-16th in points at year end. And each spot is worth a lot of money. (cont)
J.D. Gibbs wasn't only a great leader at JGR, he was one of the greatest people I've ever met and he spread that quality to many people he touched. I'll forever remember what he did for me and my career as well as his influence on others. Sad, but I know he's in a better place.
I'm a bit speechless when I saw this. I can't believe you choose to write about this in a negative light. Shame on you and the people you work with. If you also want to post concurrent things, our haulers left for Talladega just a bit ago.
Stage points and a top 5. Just another day at the office for the boys @BubbaWallace@23XIRacing@ToyotaRacing. 3rd top-10 in a row, 1st time every for BW. Well done. Keep it rolling.
Remember the Clash isn't just about the event tonight. It's about bringing new fans into the sport that have never seen racing, and to make the sport grow for 5-10-15 years to come. And watching this, I think it'll work.
Proud of what our @LFR95 team brought this week and how well @mattdracing raced it to the front. Still improvements coming but we're closer and closer...
To the people @StewartHaasRcng, I feel for you. It's not easy. Take solace as one door closes, others open. On 8/4/20, we were told LFR was shutting down. About 6 weeks later, we had a celebration dinner as we started @23XIRacing. Life is good. Enjoy the ride.
Congratulations to the #FedEx11 team for winning back-to-back poles @HomesteadMiami! Keep a lookout for @DennyHamlin starting on the front row this Sunday!
Fair day. Ended up with a solid finish after a few bumps and bangs as well as ups and downs. Hopefully turning the good corner while continuing to improve. Cheers @BubbaWallace and @23XIRacing team.
It wasn’t about 1 point last night, it was about getting back out there and collecting multiples points because they were up for grabs with others DNF’d. That's points racing. We went from 34th to 29th and that may make a big difference after Phoenix. #nevergiveup
The people at @23XIRacing built some fast @ToyotaRacing Camrys for this weekend. I can't believe it ended that way. I think I'll remember this one for a long time.
The Cup Series is hard. Best of the best. We weren't good enough today. We never gave up and made progress. But still more progress needs to be made. I know we'll get there. @BubbaWallace@23XIRacing
Very strong run this weekend. Remained steady in the top 10 throughout the middle of Stage 3 and held P1 for 20+ laps!
Let’s continue to progress and get better ahead of Richmond next Sunday.
Sad day at LFR. Who knows where life will turn to next. Won't keep us from working hard at the shop and the track to get @BLeavine and @CBellRacing a trophy before the end of the year.
Had a good car and @BubbaWallace drove a good race. Showed the potential and speed we wanted, just didn't put it together yet. More improvements coming. Looking forward to continued progress.
Day 1 at Fuji Speedway complete. @23XIRacing got the equipment unpacked and the car back running. All without batteries for tools as they are stuck in customs. The people were very friendly and many teams were helping with minor issues we had with supplies. Mount Fuji disappeared with the clouds but still a camera friendly day. Ready for track time tomorrow.
Decent day. @23XIRacing built a fast @ToyotaRacing hot rod. Led laps and got @BubbaWallace his 1st stage win. Got shuffled to the back at the end with a disappointing finish. But we were fortunate to finish with the 22 incident.
Friday morning, our @23xiracing hauler makes it's maiden voyage from @evolve3sixty in OH before daybreak to our shop in NC around lunchtime. I wonder if pics will make the web? Prizes available, best ones win! #EyeSpy23XI
Is there an app that I can DL that will block anyone/anything that has a countdown til Daytona 500 - til say 45 days or so? Asking for most of my friends/family and me. #celebratetheoffseason#reconnect
Sorry @mattdracing, @stoolpresidente, and @LFR95 fans. Gambled late there to lead and lock a top 10 with a caution, then had to pit before we bleed too many spots. And then the car just didnt like RS only. Worth the risk until it fails. #wheninVegas
At a loss for words this morning. Over 20 years ago, Eddie Partridge gave me an opportunity that help make me who I am today. We spent countless time racing together and he taught me so much about it all. Going to miss you Eddie.
