Chase Elliott and the No. 9 link hidden, please login to view team started off DAYTONA 500 week strong with a victory in Duel Two on Thursday night, which set them up for a fourth-place starting position for the Great American Race. Elliott finished 18th in each of the first two stages in Sunday afternoon’s NASCAR Cup Series race. In the final stage, the 30-year-old driver restarted from the eighth row with just four laps to go following a caution. He had a shot at the win, taking the lead on the final lap. However, he got caught up in an on-track incident coming to the checkered flag and ultimately crossed the stripe in fourth. Elliott leaves Daytona International Speedway third in the Cup Series standings, just 15 points behind the leader. Chase Elliott and the No. 9 NAPA Auto Parts team started off DAYTONA 500 week strong with a victory in Duel Two on Thursday night, which set them up for a fourth-place starting position for the Great American Race. From the drop of the green flag in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race, Elliott showed he had a Chevrolet capable of winning. He was scored in seventh when the first caution of the race came out on lap five. Crew chief Alan Gustafson called for a fuel-only pit stop. Elliott restarted eighth on lap 12 and continued to race inside the top 10. He was running in the fourth position when green-flag pit stops got underway on lap 50. Elliott assumed the lead on lap 58 before pitting the very next lap for fuel. He ended stage one in the 18th position.
Under the stage-ending caution, Elliott radioed to his team that the No. 9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevy was a little free. Gustafson made the call for an adjustment during the team’s pit stop for four tires and fuel. Elliott made a second stop under the yellow to top off the tank. The 30-year-old driver took the green flag for the second stage from the 20th position on lap 72. The field went three wide early in the stage, with Elliott running the top lane. Racing got dicey at the front of the field, which ultimately triggered a multi-car incident that brought out the caution on lap 85. Elliott drove through the infield grass to avoid the melee, escaping unscathed. Under the yellow flag, Elliott brought the No. 9 NAPA Chevy to the attention of his crew for a fuel-only pit stop. He was 11th to choose his lane for the restart, ultimately opting for the outside. Once back to green on lap 92, it didn’t take long for the field to go back to racing three wide. Elliott was stuck in the middle lane until he was able to clear to the bottom. He was running in 10th before the bottom lane lost momentum and he was shuffled towards the back of the pack. Tight racing prompted another multi-car incident on lap 124, which Elliott was again able to avoid. The cleanup took long enough that stage two ended under the yellow flag, with the Hendrick Motorsports driver scored 18th.
During the stage break, the team made another stop for four fresh tires and fuel. Elliott lined up on the inside of row four to start the final stage on lap 136. He remained in the bottom lane for several laps as the main pack raced three wide. Elliott kept his Chevrolet towards the front of the field as the race started winding down, but teams still needed to make one last round of pit stops for fuel. The first cars visited pit road on lap 181. Elliott took over the lead just prior to pitting on lap 188. He was scored 15th when an incident brought out the caution with less than 10 laps to go. The team opted not to pit, and Elliott restarted from the outside of row eight with four laps remaining. He stayed in contention and took over the lead on the final lap. However, he was involved in a multi-car incident coming to the checkered flag and ultimately finished fourth.
“It seemed really fortunate to get through the first crash, and that opened the door to somehow get to the lead,” Elliott said after the race. “But then I got pushed clear and I think the No. 38 was behind me and pushed me clear by everybody down the back, and then it was just he and I. We got a good ways out there and we were just in a lot of trouble because momentum had shifted. At that point, I was just on extreme defense, and then from there, I was just trying to defend as best I could without crashing myself, but everybody else ended up crashing anyway. Maybe I should have just wrecked myself trying to block. But, yeah, I hate that. Obviously very close but close doesn’t cut it.”
Elliott leaves Daytona International Speedway third in the Cup Series points standings, just 15 markers behind the leader.

The water pump market is evolving fast, with millions of vehicles relying on mechanical or electric water pumps to stay cool and perform at their best.
Mechanical water pumps still dominate most vehicles. However, as OEMs continue to incorporate start/stop systems, hybrids, and electric drivetrains, electric water pumps (EWPs) have gained ground and present real service opportunities for the aftermarket.
When looking for a quality supplier, verify that the pump is thoroughly tested. Also confirm the pump meets OE fit, form and function. Choose suppliers that work with OEMs.
Finally, ensure high-quality materials are used since water pumps face corrosive environments. You want a pump that will last.
Electric Water Pumps for Modern Cooling Systems
link hidden, please login to view offers a full line of link hidden, please login to view for millions of vehicles, all backed by industry-best warranties. Repair shops can have confidence in what they install. Dayco’s electric pumps are direct-fit, bolt-on replacements, so no modifications are needed during installation. They feature self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant bearings compatible with all engine coolants and tapered motor brushes for faster break-in. They also use high-strength seals to prevent leaks.
Installation Best Practices for Electric Pumps
Now let’s talk through four installation best practices, as some common mistakes can happen during EWP replacement.
First, remind your shop customers to flush the system completely to remove any residual contamination. Use a 50/50 mix of the correct coolant and distilled water.
Second, remind customers that reusing old seals or gaskets can cause leaks. Offer to add new gaskets and seals when doing a water pump replacement.
Third, ask the shop if they need a belt, tensioner and pulley when replacing the pump. A systems approach is best since components perform better when replaced together.
Fourth, tell shops that voltage checks are critical when installing electric pumps. Check voltage and grounding before and after. Low voltage can quickly destroy a new pump.

A playoff run that began with great promise for Daniel Hemric came to an early end on Friday night at Martinsville Speedway. The driver of the No. 19
link hidden, please login to view Nightvision Chevrolet Silverado RST dealt with crash damage, high temperatures, and ultimately a sour piston which led to a 31st-place finish at “The Paperclip”, which officially eliminated him from title contention. With one race remaining in his first season with MHR, Hemric sits eighth in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Trucks Series (NCTS) standings.
Hemric and stablemate Tyler Ankrum entered Martinsville Speedway as the only pair of teammates still alive in the NCTS playoffs. Hemric, who was seeking his second-straight win at the Commonwealth short track, started from ninth position and began to inch his way forward from the outset. He climbed to eighth and was putting pressure on trucks immediately ahead of him before the race’s second caution flew on lap 21. Trouble struck on the lap 29 restart as the race leader missed a shift which resulted in a multi-truck chain reaction.
Hemric suffered severe damage to the nose, lower front fascia, grille screen, duct work and right front fender in the stack up. The ultimate result was a skyrocketing water temperature and loss of front downforce. Prior to the end of Stage 1, the NAPA Nightvision crew had to cycle cool water through the radiator to cool the engine. Hemric was 30th by the conclusion of Stage 1, but immediately rejoined the lead lap at the stage caution.
After a second sequence of pitting to cool the system, losing a lap and regaining the lap early in Stage 2, crew chief Kevin Bellicourt pitted for four tires and fuel on lap 73 after earning the Lucky Dog award. Hemric managed his equipment for the balance of Stage 2, and flipped the track position at the end of the segment on lap 100. He restarted sixth on lap 112, but ultimately succumbed to trucks with significantly fresher tires shortly thereafter. Immediately after pitting for fresh tires under a lap 138 caution, Hemric reported that he had lost a cylinder and was down on power. The night and playoff run came to an end after completing 163 laps and was credited with a 31st-place result.
“Just a hard way to end our playoff run,” Hemric remarked after exiting the race. “I hate it for all these guys because of their effort and commitment all year. We barely got to race for it before that big stack up on the restart in Stage 1. We had all sorts of damage to the nose, duct work, and hurt the radiator in our NAPA Nightvision Chevy. The temps must have been too hot for too long and finally the motor started laying down. The guys did a great job staying in the fight, making repairs, and we were trying to find a pathway back to the front.”

Points Standing / Total: pts. 2,173 / 8th
