The #81 Quaker State team came to Motor Mile Speedway in Radford, Va., hoping to continue their summer hot streak. However, a crash just seconds after the green flag waved resulted in immediate disappointment and a 21st place finish.

The Quaker State team honored the late Ricky Hendrick and his #7 Late Model team from 1997-1999 with a Throwback paint scheme similar to the one that Ricky drove to four victories at Concord Motorsports Park. Eight members of Ricky’s 1998 team were in attendance as the Quaker State team posted a solid 4th place finish at Hickory Motor Speedway.

It is an honor to pay tribute to the late Ricky Hendrick as part of the CARS Tour Throwback 276 at Hickory Motor Speedway on July 31. The familiar red and white #81 Late Model will become the #7 Quaker State Chevrolet in the same style that Ricky drove to 4 victories at Concord Speedway in 1998-1999

The #81 team had high hopes for the Thunder Road Harley-Davidson 200 at South Boston Speedway, Unfortunately, wall contact early in the race ended their night prematurely.

For the first time since 2018, Timmy Tyrrell Racing will participate in a Late Model event outside of the CARS Tour. The team opted to enter the Thunder Road Harley-Davidson 200 at South Boston Speedway on July 3 for a chance at the $10,000 winner’s purse, as well as valuable experience for the driver.

Although the Radley Chevrolet 125 at Dominion Raceway didn’t end in the manner that Mini Tyrrell most preferred, it was still another solid effort with his second consecutive 6th place finish on the CARS Tour.

For Mini Tyrrell and the #81 Mini T’s Fastest Grease In The East team, the race at Dominion Raceway is vastly different from the others on the CARS Tour. It’s the closest track to home and a symbolic anchor for the driver and the race team.

For the race at Langley Speedway, Mini opted to rent an R&S Race Cars chassis from Justin Johnson’s race shop. He turned in his best performance of the 2021 season with a 6th place finish.

We’re pleased to announce that Mini Tyrrell will be driving an R&S Race Car in the CARS Tour race at Langley Speedway on Saturday, June 5. Thank you to Marcus Richmond, Stephen Dunn, and Justin Johnson and his race team for going the extra mile to ensure the car is ready.

After a strong day of practice at Caraway Speedway on Friday, Mini Tyrrell and the #81 Mini T’s Fastest Grease In the East team were hopeful of a breakthrough in Saturday night’s CARS Tour race, which honored the memory of technical inspector David ‘Lightning’ Saunders. However, a 14th place finish was below the expectation of the driver and the race team.
