FloSports and NASCAR will contribute $50,000 to the purse for the Late Model Virginia Triple Crown, raising the overall champion purse to $20,000. FloRacing will now also be the presenting partner of the Virginia Triple Crown.

"We're thrilled to partner with NASCAR to elevate the Virginia Triple Crown to a whole new level," said Michael Rigsby, GM of FloRacing. "Late Model racing has long been a core focus for FloRacing, and this partnership lets us invest directly in the drivers, teams, and fans who make it so special. We can't wait to showcase this incredible three-race showdown to a national audience."

"The Virginia Triple Crown is a celebration of short track culture–where many of NASCAR's top stars got their start," said Joey Dennewitz, managing director, NASCAR Regional. "With the support of FloRacing, we're amplifying the reach and prestige of each event, creating more excitement for fans and more opportunity for drivers. It's exactly the kind of grassroots investment that strengthens the future of our sport."

The new payout structure extends to the top 10 finishers in the Virginia Triple Crown standings, up from just three in previous years:

• 1st – $20,000
• 2nd – $10,000
• 3rd – $7,500
• 4th – $5,000
• 5th – $2,500
• 6th–10th – $1,000 each

All payouts will be distributed following the final leg of the crown – the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville Speedway on Sept. 27.

The Virginia Triple Crown presented by FloRacing is determined by average finish across three of the region's crown jewel events:

• June 28 – Thunder Road Harley-Davidson 200 at South Boston Speedway
• July 19 – Hampton Heat at Larry King Law's Langley Speedway
• September 27 – ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville Speedway

To be eligible for the championship and prize money, drivers must compete in all three events.

Honda is entering the Honda CR-V e:FCEV as the first-ever hydrogen-powered vehicle to compete at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb later this month.

Prepped for competition by engineers at Honda of America Race Team (HART), Honda R&D Japan and Honda Racing Corporation USA (HRC US), the CR-V e:FCEV will take on the 156-turn, 12.42-mile mountain course on June 22 with former Pikes Peak class-winner and two-time Formula DRIFT champion Dai Yoshihara behind the wheel.

The production 2025 CR‑V e:FCEV will compete in the "exhibition class" without modifications to its zero-emissions powertrain, which includes the second-generation Honda fuel cell system produced at Fuel Cell System Manufacturing, LLC (FCSM) in Michigan, a front-mounted single-motor, 17.7 kWh battery pack, and two high-pressure hydrogen tanks.

The CR‑V e:FCEV is hand-built at the Honda Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Marysville, Ohio, and is the only fuel cell electric passenger vehicle made in America, and the first to pair hydrogen fuel cell with plug-in hybrid technology. For competition, the only modifications from stock are a 1-inch lowered suspension, racing brake pads, light weight 18-inch wheels and 265/45R18 Yokohama Advan A052 tires. HART also equipped the CR‑V e:FCEV with a racing seat and safety cage, custom-fabricated into the vehicle by Honda engineers at HART and PMC.

Acceler8, the independent non-profit automotive education program founded by law enforcement veterans to help at-risk kids, was accepted by the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) to receive funds through the California Community Reinvestment Grants (CalCRG) program. 

The announcement will enable Acceler8 to expand its structured programs, providing underserved youth with hands-on automotive education, mentorship and career pathways. In addition, the funds will also go towards a new Acceler8 facility set to open in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles later this summer.

As a direct result of the funding, Acceler8 aims to assist up to 420 youth over three years by offering two 16-week courses per year. Each course will enroll 20-30 students and focus on preparing participants for ASE Certification in basic mechanics through a combination of theoretical instruction and hands-on automotive training. 

Students will learn techniques ranging from basic tune-ups, tire rotations and oil changes to advanced skills, such as computer diagnostics and installing or repairing critical systems, including engines and transmissions. Guest speakers, including automotive professionals and business owners, will engage with students to inspire them toward automotive careers, with the hope of leading to further education and training.

Upon completion, students will be introduced to potential job placements, vocational training and apprenticeships in the automotive industry.

"We're honored and delighted to receive support from the State of California for our mission to provide youth with career opportunities in the automotive industry. Through this investment, our students will undoubtedly recognize the state stands firmly behind them on their journey to adulthood and gainful employment," said Charles Woodruff, co-founder and CEO at Acceler8 Education Program. 

As a foundational partner in the Formula DRIFT Driven Experience, Acceler8 has introduced more than 3,000 youth from across the country to motorsports over four years. The aim has always been to provide young people with a window into the exciting possibilities of a career in the automotive sector with the ongoing help and support of the FD organizing body, teams and drivers, who have donated their time and expertise to inspire the kids.

Ford Motor Company will return to the top tier of prototype sports car racing in 2027, competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). The Dearborn-based manufacturer unveiled two key components of its program during the lead-up to this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The Ford WEC Hypercar program, set to make its debut at the season-opening round of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) in less than two years, has announced French race car manufacturer ORECA as its chassis partner and Dan Sayers as the program lead. Sayers joins Ford from his current role as Program Director at Red Bull Ford Powertrains, where he played an instrumental part in the power unit program for the new 2026 F1 regulations.

"Bringing Ford back to the top class at Le Mans has always been a dream for many of us including our Executive Chair Bill Ford," said Ford Motor Company President and CEO, Jim Farley. "To be able to partner with ORECA is a proud moment for Ford. We are coming back to  Le Mans to win, and we aren't making that a secret. On Sunday, it will be exactly 56 years since we last took the top step of the overall podium here. That is long enough. In 2027, we are  coming with the same level of expectation, and we are entrusting ORECA to help us take on  Ferrari and the other top-class teams as we did back in the 1960s."

Ford last contested for overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans nearly 60 years ago with the legendary Ford GT40. Since that time, Ford has focused on class victories, including a win in 2016 with the Ford GTE Pro and since 2024 with the Ford Mustang GT3. Between 1966 and  1969, Ford captured four consecutive overall victories in the city of Le Mans, France.
