Dillon, a veteran of the NASCAR Cup Series, will have sponsorship from Black Hole Ammo for the 182.16-mile race.

 

“I’m excited to be back in the Xfinity Series for this weekend at Road America,” said Dillon. “I’m very proud to have Black Hole Ammo on board our No. 6 Chevrolet. I’ve known Shari Wagner and her family for years now and representing an American-based company is always an honor. The JD Motorsports guys have been working hard to give us a good car and getting additional laps will help the overall weekend.”

 

Black Hole Ammo, a Sterling Ammo, LLC brand, is launching premium ammunition catered to sporting, recreational and law enforcement on Friday, July 1. Black Hole Ammo will feature a full portfolio of hand gun and rifle ammunition. Based in Washington, Iowa, the new company will produce rounds of fully loaded rimfire and centerfire under its 190,000-square foot roof.

 

In conjunction with Dillon taking to the Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin track for practice on Friday, BlackHoleAmmo.com will open for orders on July 1. Shooters and hunters can be among the first to own this American-made ammo by ordering direct from BlackHoleAmmo.com.

 

“There’s not a better driver and fit for our brand than Ty Dillon,” said Shari Wagner, Chief Executive Officer of Black Hole Ammo. “Ty is an avid hunter, shooter and conservationist. We’ve watched him grow up hunting with his dad, Mike, and his grandfather, Richard Childress. We are proud to once again be associated with Ty. Our operation at Black Hole Ammo is 100 percent vertical. Of course we have to buy raw materials such as brass strips, lead and gun powder, but our numerous bullet presses, loaders and state-of-the-art Elye Priming System will insure our ammunition is among the most accurate and safe in the world.”

 

The 30-year-old driver has over 395 starts across NASCAR’s three national series. Dillon has one NXS victory at the prestigious Indianapolis Motor Speedway and three wins in the NASCAR Truck Series at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Kentucky Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway.

 

“We’re excited to have Ty Dillon in our No. 6 Chevrolet this weekend at Road America,” said Johnny Davis, owner of JD Motorsports. “Ty is a fierce competitor and this weekend will be no different. We’re excited to see what both of our teams can do at Road America.”

 

The Henry 180 at Road America will take the green flag on Saturday, July 2 at 2:30 p.m. ET. The 45-lap event will be broadcast live on USA Network and can be heard on the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

HABANA BRISA AND BAYLEY CURREY PAYING TRIBUTE TO RON RICE AND DONNIE ALLISON’S PARTNERSHIP IN 1979

HABANA BRISA AND BAYLEY CURREY PAYING TRIBUTE TO RON RICE AND DONNIE ALLISON’S PARTNERSHIP IN 1979

GAFFNEY, SC – It’s Throwback Weekend at Darlington Raceway, and JD Motorsports and sponsor Habana Brisa are throwing it back to one of the most famous race cars in NASCAR history.

In Saturday’s Mahindra ROXOR 200 Xfinity Series race, Bayley Currey will drive the No. 4 Chevrolet carrying a large decal honoring the No. 1 Hawaiian Tropic car driven by Donnie Allison in the 1979 Daytona 500.

Allison came within a mile of winning the world’s biggest stock car race in a red Hawaiian Tropic-sponsored Oldsmobile fielded by car owner Hoss Ellington. Allison and rival Cale Yarborough crashed while racing for the lead in the third turn on the final lap, opening the door for third-place Richard Petty to win the race. Donnie and his brother Bobby engaged in a nationally televised fight with Yarborough after the wreck.

The finish – and the fight – elevated NASCAR’s nationwide appeal and made that red race car famous.

It will live again – almost a half-century later -- in Saturday’s race as part of a decal featuring Donnie Allison and Ron Rice, the developer of Hawaiian Tropic then and Habana Brisa now. Habana Brisa is Rice’s new reef-friendly brand of sunscreen.

Darlington’s Throwback Weekend annually honors memorable race cars from NASCAR history, offering teams the opportunity to duplicate paint schemes and car designs from previous seasons.

“It’s a great race car – then and now,” said Rice. “We’re pleased to bring it out of history and back on the racetrack again – and now with the Habana Brisa signature.”

Rice said Bayley Currey’s driving style reminds him of Donnie Allison, who won 10 NASCAR Cup Series races before retiring in 1988. Much of Allison’s success is linked to the paint scheme that will be honored Saturday at Darlington.

“I can see Donnie’s driving style in Bayley,” Rice said. “They are very similar on track in a lot of ways. Honoring Donnie’s car is a great way to remember the good times and success we had in those days and to introduce Habana Brisa to a new generation of race fans.”

Currey will be carrying the Habana Brisa colors and Allison’s history on one of the NASCAR tour’s most historic tracks. In the sun-splashed Pee Dee region of South Carolina, it will be a good day for the arrival of Habana Brisa.

“I’ve known Ron since I was 15 years old and I remember his love of racing and his friendship with Donnie. Not only is Ron Rice an entrepreneurial legend, he’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I’m honored to be leading his new company Habana Brisa.” said Wendy Holly, Habana Brisa CBO.

“It’s going to be a great weekend at Darlington with this special car and Habana Brisa,” said JD Motorsports team owner Johnny Davis. “I remember how special that No. 1 car looked on the race track, and I hope we can bring some of that kind of flavor to the race with this car Saturday.”

Habana Brisa is reef friendly and made using exotic flora, fruit, and nut extracts and provides a broad spectrum of sun protection. Habana Brisa is available at habanabrisa.com and now is available at amazon.com.

Team owner Johnny Davis, called the ride with Habana Brisa an ideal situation. “You look back over NASCAR history, and those Hawaiian Tropic cars really stand out,” Davis said. “The Habana Brisa paint scheme will be just as memorable. The car will really ‘shout’ at you from the race track. And our guys in the pits will be wearing the ultimate in sun protection in Habana Brisa.”

 

Wendy Holly the Chief Business Officer of Habana Brisa said…” We share the core values of being driven, innovative and environmentally conscientious with NASCAR and the team. “Like NASCAR racing, the sun care industry is highly competitive.
