“Going into Chicagoland (Speedway), I knew there was a lot riding on the line for the Four Crown Championship,” commented Coulter. “I’ve never wanted to win something more in my life, and my guys had the same feeling. They have worked incredibly hard all year and deserved to take the trophy (Four Crown) home.”

The busy Chicagoland race weekend started Thursday (8/26/10) evening with the first of two practice sessions for the weekend. Coulter spent the entire hour and 20-minute session working on race runs, knowing the time (4:30-5:50 pm CT), better-reflected Friday night’s race. At sessions end, Coulter posted the 13^th fastest time at 31.570 seconds at 171.048 MPH.

Friday morning (8/27/10) ARCA held a rare “happy hour” practice session before Menards Pole Qualifying. Coulter Motorsports Crew Chief Harold Holly worked with the 20-year-old Coulter on qualifying setups and early-race runs during the quick practice. Coulter would end up posting the fifth fastest time, at 30.732 seconds at 175.713 MPH. Shortly after, Coulter would pilot his No. 16 Rip It Energy Fuel, Darrell Gwynn Foundation Chevrolet around the 1.5-mile tri-oval for his two qualifying laps. He would post a fast time of 30.866 seconds at 174.950 MPH, placing him tenth for the start of that evening’s race.

“Harold (Holly) wanted to spend Thursday night’s practice session solely on race runs since the track was so much cooler, and I believe that will pay off for tonight’s race,” said Coulter. “The car felt really hooked up this morning (Happy Hour) and my qualifying effort was on par with what I expected. My guys have prepared me another fast Rip It Energy Fuel machine and I am looking forward to tonight’s race.”

Shortly after 6:00 pm CT, Coulter, in his No. 16 Rip It Energy Fuel, Darrell Gwynn Foundation Chevrolet, took the green flag to start the Ansell Protective Gloves 150 at Chicagoland Speedway.  After initially moving up into ninth, Coulter quickly reported a loose condition before settling in 11^th. A caution on lap six allowed Coulter an opportunity to diagnose his car with Holly, saying “its really bad loose when someone is around and behind me.” Holly responded by telling Coulter to turn off his bead (tire) blowers to allow the air pressures to raise faster, in turn tightening up the car.

On the lap 15 restart, Coulter would restart sixth, and immediately started fighting the same extreme loose condition in the turns. He would battle the car during the ensuing laps and stay solidly in the top-ten before a lap 32 caution would allow him to come to pit road for some much needed adjustments. Coulter would receive four fresh Hoosier tires, a tank of Sunoco race fuel and a trackbar and wedge adjustment. He would restart in eighth on lap 43 and started his trek back towards the front.

By the halfway mark at lap 50, Coulter was in seventh and radioed to Holly that the “car feels like its finally coming around in the shade in turn’s 3 and 4, but still loose in the sun.” Coulter would continue to battle between positions six through eight before another timely caution on lap 71 would freeze the field. Coulter once again radioed Holly saying “I can’t hit the gas through the center or the rear-end snaps around.” Holly decided to forgo their track position in eighth to bring Coulter and his No. 16 Rip It Energy Fuel, Darrell Gwynn Foundation Chevrolet down pit road. Holly gave him four tires, fuel, and another round of trackbar and wedge adjustments.

After the quickie caution, Coulter restarted 14^th on lap 74. He wasted no time working his way through the field, and by lap 81 was back in the top-ten in ninth. During a lap 87 caution, Coulter radioed the crew saying, “just keep letting this place cool off. This rocket ship is totally coming around.” The final restart of the night came on lap 90 with Coulter in eighth. He battled six and seventh over the last ten laps, but brought his No. 16 Rip It Energy Fuel, Darrell Gwynn Foundation Chevrolet across the finish line eighth.

Coulter’s eighth place finish gave him a wire-to-wire win in the Bill France Four Crown Award. Coulter defeated Patrick Sheltra (No. 60) by a mere 10 points, 745 to 735, to win the season-within-a-season contest which awards drivers for success on a diverse slate of tracks. Coulter won the contest-opening race at the 0.4-mile Berlin Raceway on August 7, finished second at the New Jersey Motorsports Park road course on August 15, and finished fourth at the Illinois State Fairgrounds dirt oval on August 22.

The ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards continues its tour of Illinois with a return trip to a dirt oval on Monday, September 6. The DuQuoin State Fairgrounds in DuQuoin, Ill. will host the Southern Illinois 100 presented by Federated Car Care, with live timing and scoring and live audio coverage of the Labor Day event for the 100-lap, 100-mile race at 1 pm CT.

Coulter Motorsports participated in the ARCA open test at Chicagoland on Thursday, August 19^th in preparation for this weekend’s event. Veteran NASCAR crew chief Harold Holly prepared chassis number 011 for Coulter, who in one previous start at the 1.5-mile paved tri-oval (8/28/09) finished sixth after starting tenth. Chassis number 011 last ran at Michigan (6/11/10) where Coulter finished second. After suffering engine failure as the test got underway, the team swapped motors and got Coulter back on track for the entire afternoon session. The valuable seat time allowed the 20-year-old driver to work with Holly to fine tune the car for Friday night’s race. After the session, Coulter posted the 12^th fastest time at 31.785 seconds at 169.891 MPH.

“Other than the motor issue, we had a really solid test at Chicago,” said Coulter. “Harold (Holly) and all of my crew guys really got the car dialed in and handling well around this super fast facility. I am excited to come back for the race and look forward to driving my Rip It Energy Fuel machine straight to the front.”

Coulter enters the fourth and final race of the Bill France Four Crown at Chicagoland Speedway as the point’s leader, with a 25-point lead over second place. He will clinch the Four Crown title regardless of any other driver’s finish with a top-five result.

“The dirt tracks (Springfield and DuQuoin) are always a lot of fun for me,” commented Coulter. “I don’t have any dirt background, so every race is a new learning experience for me, but always an enjoyable one.”

Coulter Motorsports pulled into the worlds “fastest dirt mile” in the heart of the state fair, early Sunday morning, to begin the day’s activities leading up to the start of the Allen Crowe 100. Shortly after arriving, the days only practice session got underway as 35 ARCA cars began slinging dirt. Coulter would immediately lay down the second fastest time of the day and continue to work his way towards the front during the hour-long session. After completing 48 laps at the sessions end, Coulter would find himself second on the board with a time of 34.258 seconds at 105.085 MPH.

Coulter Motorsports Crew Chief Harold Holly finished up all his final adjustments, as Menards Pole Qualifying was set to begin. Coulter would go out 31^st of 35 cars for his one lap qualifying effort. He would run a time of 36.035 seconds at 99.903 MPH, placing him sixth for start of the afternoon’s race.

“Harold (Holly) really had my car hooking up and taking to the track during our practice runs,” said Coulter. “We knew the track would slow down considerably during qualifying with the addition of all the rubber, so we chose to have more of a race setup in the car, and are happy to be rolling off sixth later today.”

Shortly after 1:00 PM (CT) on a beautiful Illinois Sunday, the green flag waved over the 35-car field to start the Allen Crowe 100. Coulter, knowing the tenacity of dirt racing, began pacing himself and his No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet. He would fall back to eighth, spending time finding his rhythm before the days first caution waved on lap 27. Coulter would radio to Holly that the car “is too loose all around the track and becoming very violent on the step out.” Holly decided to bring Coulter to pit road for a full tank of fuel and a major wedge adjustment. A fast pit stop would have Coulter restarting third on lap 33.

After another quick caution on lap 37 Coulter radioed Holly saying “the left front feels like it is stuck up in the air, but the last adjustment has allowed me to get into more of a rhythm.” On the lap 41 restart, Coulter would take the green fourth and begin battling for position with several local dirt track racers. Trying to stay out of an impending wreck, and feeling the effects of worn tires, Coulter began sliding back, until a lap 56 caution. He immediately radioed Holly saying the car was “standing up too much on the left rear during the step out, causing it to throw the car around.” Holly would call Coulter down pit road, giving him four fresh Hoosier dirt tires, a wedge and trackbar adjustment. He would take the green flag in 12^th on lap 61 and began working his way towards the front. Coulter found himself inside the top-ten, in ninth by the next caution on lap 64. Right away he let Holly know that the car “feels way better and is handling amazing.”

Through two more ensuing cautions, Coulter worked his way into the top-five, making sure to pace himself and his car. A caution on lap 86 would set-up a single file restart on lap 91 with Coulter in fifth. Trouble restarting for one competitor, logged up the field, sending several, including Coulter to the back of the pack. Coulter worked his way around the slowed field in eighth, knowing he only had a few laps remaining, he began picking off cars one-by-one.

As the white flag flew on lap 99, Coulter had methodically worked his way back to fifth and was passing for fourth when the caution waved. ARCA would lock the field and set them up for a green-white-checkered finish as they took the green and white on lap 105. After completing the next mile, Coulter brought his No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet home fourth.

“It was a great day for us today at Springfield,” said an excited Coulter. “We wanted to play conservative most of the day and make sure we were around at the end. The game plan worked out and my guys gave me another awesome car. I want to thank Darrell (Gwynn), Rip It Energy and all of my family, friends and supporters. I can’t wait to get to Chicago next week for some more great ARCA racing.”

Coulter leaving Springfield with his third straight top-five in August, will enter the final race of the Bill France Four Crown at Chicago as the point’s leader, with a 25 point lead over second. Coulter will clinch the Four Crown title regardless of any other driver’s finish with a top-five result. Make sure to tune in LIVE for the 100-lap, 150-mile Ansell Protective Gloves 150 on SPEED at 7 p.m. Eastern and catch Coulter in his No. 16 Rip It Energy Fuel, Darrell Gwynn Foundation Chevrolet.

“I don’t have very much experience on the dirt, but every time I have raced on it, it has been a total blast,” commented Coulter. “To go from superspeedways, to short tracks, to road courses and then to dirt, really speaks to the diversity level of ARCA and shows their dedication to the sport. I am excited to get to Springfield and get back racing, especially on the dirt.”

Though Coulter doesn’t’ have much dirt track experience in his No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet, his crew chief Harold Holly, who is the owner of Wolf-Pack Racing, does. Holly and Coulter have spent the last week studying notes and reviewing setups while preparing for the Springfield Mile. This extensive preparation has allowed Coulter to gain a better understanding of racing on dirt, and what to expect when the 3,400-pound ARCA car hits the dirt’s ever-varying conditions.

Coulter will be piloting car No. 013, affectionately named “JJ”, for this week’s first dirt excursion of the season. He ran “JJ” last year at both dirt events at DuQuoin (9/7/09) and Springfield (8/23/10) impressing everyone along the way with his newfound knack at “sideways” racing. Coulter ran in the top five the entire race at Springfield before a competitor ended his day with an intentional wreck. He redeemed his dirt skills a few weeks later at DuQuoin where he qualified an impressive second and finished third.

As Coulter heads to Springfield, the race marks the third of four in pursuit of the Bill France Four Crown award, the season-within-a-season contest which rewards ARCA Racing Series drivers for success on a diverse slate of tracks. The Four Crown schedule is comprised of the ARCA Series races scheduled for August, with the final race to be held at the 1.5-mile Chicagoland Speedway on August 27. Coulter is the current Four Crown point’s leader with a 30-point advantage over second.

“Going into the Springfield race as the Four Crown points leader is really a motivation booster,” said Coulter. “My guys have really stepped up to the plate this year and we have got our program back on track after a rocky patch. They give me the best cars week in and week out without a doubt and I am ready to hit the dirt this weekend and have another solid finish.”

The ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards visits the one-mile dirt track at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, Ill. on Sunday, August 22. Practice begins at 10 a.m. Eastern, with Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell following at noon.

Team Release

MILLVILLE, NJ (8/16/10) – Heading into the second and final road course race of the season, second year ARCA racer Joey Coulter, prepared himself better than ever before for a top finish. The Miami Spring, FL native did just that, as he wheeled his No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet through the left and right hand turns en route to a second place finish.

“Road courses are so technically different than any other track we race each year, and they make you posses a totally different driving ability,” commented Coulter. “Going into this race (NJMP) in 2009, I had never driven a road course in a stock car and it was an awakening on my part. Going out to Bondurant (School of High Performance Driving) earlier this year, the race at PBIR (Palm Beach International Raceway) and our test at VIR really helped me earn this second place finish this weekend.”

Spending a busy week on the road leading up to the Garden State ARCA 150 at NJMP on Sunday, Coulter further prepared for the event by studying track maps and notes he had amassed over the last year. The busy week kicked off Tuesday (8/10/10) with an autograph session at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, OH. On Wednesday (8/11/10), Coulter participated in a charity golf tournament as part of the Rip It Energy Fuel team in Conover, NC, before heading to New Jersey. Thursday and Friday (8/12-13/10) saw the 20 year old UNCC student traveling around downtown Philadelphia with the Rip It Energy Fuel Wild Ride Tour, signing autographs and handing out free samples.

Racing action at NJMP got underway Saturday (8/14/10) morning with the first of two practice sessions. Coulter Motorsports crew chief Harold Holly, devised a plan with Coulter, separating the changes they would make during the two sessions before sending him out. Coulter would take the track, pacing himself at first to regain shifting and braking points along the track. At practices end, he would turn the sixth fastest lap with a time of 85.192 seconds at 95.079 MPH.

After making some adjustments to the No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet, Coulter headed back on track for the second and final practice run of the day. After making several runs, he radioed Holly that the car “feels stuck to the track in the corners and I feel much more comfortable pushing it harder now.” Coulter would finish off the session with the fifth fastest time at 84.097 seconds at 96.317 MPH therefore placing him in the first qualifying group when Menards Pole qualifying began later in the afternoon.

For qualifying, ARCA sent groups of five cars out on track at a time, allowing them 10 minutes to complete their fastest lap. After all of the sessions were complete they would take the single fastest lap from each driver to form a qualifying order. Coulter, running in the first group, would lay down the eighth fastest time at 83.560 seconds at 96.936 MPH.

“My guys really did their homework, and prepared a great car this weekend,” said Coulter. “I was pleased with the way it handled throughout both practice sessions and our qualifying effort was right where we expected it to be. I am really excited for the race Sunday and can’t wait to get it underway.”

With a large rain cell quickly approaching, the 35 car ARCA field took the green flag to start the Garden State 150 at NJMP. Coulter wasted no time working his way to the front, and found himself in fifth before even completing the first lap. During a lap seven caution, he would radio to Holly that the car is “too free on the back end and I can’t whip it around. But I think I’ve got the braking thing finally figured out around this place.” Holly would plan for an air pressure adjustment whenever he brought Coulter to the pits for the first time.

On the lap ten restart, Coulter in the sixth position, would continue to try and work his way to the front. A three wide incident on lap 11 in the right-hander section of the course, forced Coulter to go off track and into the dirt. The front nose and valence section would be crushed in, but would not require pit road attention. Coulter would rejoin the field in the fourteenth spot.

He would once again set his sights to the front, and began slowly picking his way back through the field. On the lap 30 green flag pit stop, Coulter would find himself in ninth, coming to the pits for four fresh Hoosier tires, Sunoco gas and an air pressure adjustment. He would go back on track in the eighth position before a full course caution would be displayed on lap 39. Shortly before the caution, Coulter was once again crowded off the track and into the dirt. He jokingly radioed under caution to Holly that “we need to figure out how to get better traction on all of this dirt, since I keep getting on it today!” Holly would let Coulter know he was running the fourth fastest time on the track and the attitude of the car looked really good.

ARCA would wave the green flag on lap 43, and as a result of some competitors coming to the pits, Coulter would restart fourth. He immediately went back to work, passing the second and third place cars before the next completed lap. Racing side by side, Coulter would jostle between second and third before taking the lead in turn one on a lap 58 restart. He would hold the lead until being passed by eventual race winner Casey Roderick in an intense side-by-side battle through several turns on lap 60. Coulter would race the last seven laps in hot pursuit of Roderick, before bringing his No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet across the finish in second place. Coulter, Roderick and Chris Buescher would all participate in a customary podium finish after the race, spraying champagne and receiving their trophies.

The ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards visits the dirt of the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, Ill. on Sunday, August 22. The 100-lap, 100-mile Allen Crowe 100 begins at 2 p.m. Eastern, with live timing and scoring and live audio coverage presented by ARCA Nation at ARCARacing.com.

“Last year (2009), road course racing was hands down my least favorite type of racing,” said Coulter. “I knew going into this season that the competition level would be extremely high, and I wanted to make sure I understood and felt comfortable with left and right turns. To help me get accustomed to the road courses, I visited Bondurant (High Performance Driving School) in January and it paid off immensely at Palm Beach (International Raceway), and I know it will translate here at New Jersey (NJMP).”

Fresh off a busy week following his Berlin Win, Coulter is ready to ride the momentum into NJMP, in his No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet. Coulter spent Sunday (8/8/10) as a special guest of the Lake Erie Crushers, where he was invited to throw out the opening pitch and showcase his Sunoco victory lane flag to the fans. Tuesday (8/10/10), ARCA’s two most recent winners, Joey Coulter (Berlin – 8/7/10) and Robb Brent (Pocono – 7/31/10) spent the day at Cedar Point amusement park, visiting with fans and signing autographs.

Making only his third road course appearance this weekend (8/15/10) in the ARCA 150 presented by the American Red Cross, Coulter wanted to make sure he freshened up on his road course techniques. His Coulter Motorsports crew, took the Miami Springs, FL native to VIR for a test and tune late last month. Veteran crew chief Harold Holly also brought in road course specialist Chris Cook to provide Coulter with additional spotting and coaching. Cooks advice and Coulter’s determination to learn paid off, as Coulter would lay down consistently fast times throughout the day.

“Joey (Coulter) is an extremely talented, young race car driver who showed his willingness to learn and to become the best at what he does,” commented Cook. “He adapted quickly to the track and gave great feedback all day, and I look for him to be a real threat come race day at NJMP.”

“I am very excited to go to NJMP this weekend and get back to road course racing,” said Coulter. “Our test at VIR really helped me gain another outlook on racing this way and showed the importance it plays in our sport (ARCA). Harold (Holly) and my guys have provided me with another great handling, fast car and I want to thank Chris (Cook) for spending the day with us and really helping me get everything dialed in.”

Make sure to tune into all of the weekends activities to catch Joey and his No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet tackling the New Jersey Motorsports Park. Two one-hour practices are scheduled on Saturday in preparation for the Garden State 150 presented by American Red Cross. Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell will take place at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Live audio coverage and live timing and scoring of all Saturday events will be available on ARCARacing.com.

Team Release

“We have had our fair share of rough patches this year, but I have believed in my team 100% and knew this day was always rights around the corner,” commented an ecstatic Coulter. “Short track racing has always been a great genre of track for me and tonight at Berlin (Raceway) was a great example why. From practice to qualify to the race, we had a great car and my guys never gave up.”

Coulter started the busy racing weekend at Berlin on Friday (8/6/2/10), for an open test. Coulter Motorsports spent much of the day improving on last years setup and preparing for the upcoming nighttime race. As the session drew to a close, Coulter would be atop the board and ready for racing action to resume on Saturday.

Saturday saw an action packed day ahead for the team with the days only practice session quickly followed by qualifying. Coulter would post the fifth fastest time in practice, and then go on to qualifying fourth for the evening’s main event.

“I am really glad we came out a day early for the test here at Berlin (Raceway),” said Coulter. “This track is very interesting, and the fact that it is a circle can really throw some curve balls at you. My team got the car dialed in and it really showed in practice and qualifying on Saturday.”

As the darkness of nighttime quickly approached, the green flag waved over the ARCA field to start the Berlin ARCA 200. Coulter would waste no time moving forward, and found himself in the second position before reaching turn four. He would closely trail the leader for the first ten laps, before radioing Coulter Motorsports crew chief, Harold Holly that the “throttle is hanging up and causing me to have to overdrive the turns.” The throttle issue would force Coulter to drop back to 11^th before a timely caution on lap 153 would wave.

Holly and Coulter discussed the throttle problem under yellow and diagnosed it as some rubber stuck in the linkage. Holly would bring Coulter and his No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet down pit road for two right side tires and sent the PME (Pro Motor Engines) tuner under the hood to jar the rubber loose. Coulter would restart on lap 59 in the 13^th position and quickly radioed Holly that the car was “getting already better and the throttle problem has disappeared.  He wasted know time getting back to the front and worked his way back into the top ten by lap 66.

Coulter spent the ensuing long green flag run picking through lap-down traffic and chasing down the leaders. By halfway at lap 100, he worked his way into fifth and kept charging towards the front. Shortly after taking fifth, Coulter would methodically pass cars until he found himself on the leaders bumper on lap 140. He would work his way around the leader on lap 145 before the caution would wave, finding himself in first coming to pit road for four fresh Hoosier tires and a splash of Sunoco racing fuel.

The green flag would wave over Coulter and his No. 16 Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet on lap 158 in the leaders seat and he would never look back. Through two ensuing cautions and lap-down traffic, the 20 year old Miami Springs, FL native would pull away with a comfortable lead en rout to his first career ARCA Racing Series victory as he crossed the finish line on lap 200.

“It feels so good I can’t even describe the feeling right now,” said a jubilated Coulter. “I want to thank my sponsors, Rip It Energy Fuel, Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Tempest Cycles, Mad Industry and METAL Jeans for all of their support. I also want to thank my entire team, pit crew, family and all of my fans. Without all of you none of this would be possible.
