If you stopped by the shop today, you would find a completely different scene. Five different chassis that made up that cluster of race cars have since been removed from the shop floor, all for different reasons.<br />
<br />

"Well, two of the cars were involved in wrecks. Chassis #160 was the Talladega car; and #52 was the car wrecked at Kentucky during practice," said team owner Bill Kimmel Jr. "We sent #13 and #320 off for some updates, and #54 is getting its paint touched up. The shop is pretty bare right now...but it won't be that way in a few weeks." Chassis #320 was the throwback paint scheme at Salem Speedway this season and chassis #13 was the dirt car that won the pole at DuQuoin in September. "We did a lot of work on the front end geometry of #320 prior to Salem and it worked out so well, we decided to do the same to #13. That, and Will beat it up pretty good at the end of the DuQuoin race (laughing). So we're also having those issues addressed."<br />
<br />

Unfortunately, there are some things with #320 that we couldn't quite get where we wanted, mostly related to the trailing arms and the track bar. So we sent that one out for some updates." Chassis #54 is going to be the super-speedway car.<br />
<br />
Coming back to the shop will be those three cars, #13, #320 and #54 as well as a new (new to Kimmel Racing) intermediate car that they bought from Lira Motorsports which will be known as Chassis #103. "Just to give you an idea how new this one is to us, our "newest" car in the fleet is #13. It's 10 years old. #103 is just two years old," said driver Will Kimmel. "This is really, really going to help us on the intermediate tracks."<br />
<br />
<br />

The #69 had legitimate chances to win at Kentucky, Chicago and Kansas in 2015. This new car could be the catalyst that the team has been looking for to make the jump to the top of the scoring tower at the end of the race.<br />
<br />
"Dad and I are really excited for 2018. The team is excited, the sponsors are excited, everyone involved. We've spent the last few years trying to dig out of holes that we didn't start and we're just now poking our heads out and looking at the horizon. It's going to be a good year."<br />
<br />
The team hasn't announced what their plans are for 2018 but fans should expect to see the famous Kimmel Red race cars on more than just the ARCA circuit. "We've got a couple opportunities we're exploring. We're a race team, that's what we do. We race."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311902470623674834.post-70859099723767135092017-11-10T16:24:00.001-05:002017-11-10T16:35:03.794-05:00Improvement's Coming Off The Track For Kimmel RacingFans of ARCA know that, for the most part, the months of October, November, December and January are slow. There isn't much going on for them to take in. Yeah, there was an ARCA test at Talladega earlier this month and there is a Daytona test in January. But those aren't for the fans. Those are for the teams. And for those teams, the aforementioned months can be just as busy as the May-June-July stretch.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gnDbItxXAvc/WgXvVsus9iI/AAAAAAAAAWc/5Leh4Bro9hsEs30sA9SOeaapQbhYc-LqACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9479.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gnDbItxXAvc/WgXvVsus9iI/AAAAAAAAAWc/5Leh4Bro9hsEs30sA9SOeaapQbhYc-LqACLcBGAs/s200/IMG_9479.JPG" width="200" /></a>Kimmel Racing was unable to take part in the Talladega test this month after tearing up their super-speedway car in the race back in May. "We've got a smaller team and our focus had to be on the races in front of us," said team owner Bill Kimmel Jr. "With that being our last super-speedway race of the season, there wasn't much of a rush to attend to that car." But fear not, the guys in the shop haven't just been sitting around.
There are many ways to improve performance that don't require on-track
time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gnx9RbVIbyk/WgWvXvSWe8I/AAAAAAAAAWM/FiDNUXnfXkoUaOxxaw1JVsA_zeelQ4X5wCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_0043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="150" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gnx9RbVIbyk/WgWvXvSWe8I/AAAAAAAAAWM/FiDNUXnfXkoUaOxxaw1JVsA_zeelQ4X5wCEwYBhgL/s200/IMG_0043.JPG" width="200" /></a>With the help of Ricky Sanders at PitBoxes.com, Kimmel Racing has acquired a brand new pit box and tool box for use at the races. "This is going to be huge for us. It gives us a bigger presence at the track, and when we do take the new pit box, it almost eliminates the need for the second tool box at the track. This thing is massive, both on top and in drawer space. Of course, when we don't take the new pit box, we'll have the new tool box with us," said Kimmel. The best part about it? "They're both Kimmel Red."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-boAubUx6GU4/WgWvYsGDGmI/AAAAAAAAAWM/po3t1dfmm-MeM91MQb35yl4wz8B53YFhwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_0045.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="150" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-boAubUx6GU4/WgWvYsGDGmI/AAAAAAAAAWM/po3t1dfmm-MeM91MQb35yl4wz8B53YFhwCEwYBhgL/s200/IMG_0045.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
The new pit box has room to seat five people on top with a covered area down below for people to stand. It also comes with six TV monitors that can be wired to display anything. "We can run timing and scoring, telemetry, the race broadcast. I think one of our guys even mentioned running Days Of Thunder on a loop (laughing)."<br />
<br />
One thing Kimmel mentioned is telemetry. ARCA teams aren't allowed to have any telemetry devices hooked up to the car on race weekends, but they are free to do it at open test sessions or private test sessions. Racepak is one of the major providers of telemetry software/hardware for racing teams both drag racing and closed/open course racing. It provides the team with real time data as well as recorded data from long runs. That's what Kimmel Racing will be using in the 2018 season and beyond.<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Yv9gxGxGp7c/WgWvaKcISPI/AAAAAAAAAWM/W2yDRMJAL0EBWdTdAMspqbJvT-AnGGXJACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_0047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="150" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Yv9gxGxGp7c/WgWvaKcISPI/AAAAAAAAAWM/W2yDRMJAL0EBWdTdAMspqbJvT-AnGGXJACEwYBhgL/s200/IMG_0047.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
"This will give us a much better idea what our car is doing, hard data, rather than having to rely solely on the driver. We can place sensors on the steering column, throttle, brakes, and shocks to monitor travel." All the data compiled goes into the computer, called a data logger, which can also monitor variables itself such as G-Force and acceleration rate.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T8dm2PoI4HY/WgYZpHCDCtI/AAAAAAAAAWs/q9l7HexLq5EKG_UNT2l0u26bEJJv2wuzACLcBGAs/s1600/DuQuoin%2BPole.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="150" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T8dm2PoI4HY/WgYZpHCDCtI/AAAAAAAAAWs/q9l7HexLq5EKG_UNT2l0u26bEJJv2wuzACLcBGAs/s200/DuQuoin%2BPole.jpg" width="200" /></a>These aren't the small steps that the team has taken in the past. These are big moves, innovative moves that should help vault Kimmel Racing squarely into that top tier on a consistent basis. They've shown the ability over the last few years; out running high budget teams at intermediate tracks, competing at unique tracks like Pocono and Road America, and winning the pole at DuQuoin in September.<br />
<br />
The 2018 schedule for Kimmel Racing hasn't been quite set yet, but be prepared to see more than just ARCA on the schedule.<br />

While waiting for that elusive first ARCA Racing Series
victory, Will Kimmel is taking moral victories. And in a season that started
off with five straight DNF’s, he’ll take three straight Top-10’s. At his home
track in Salem, IN Saturday night Kimmel brought an ailing car home for a 10<sup>th</sup>
place finish to complete his competitive season. Kimmel Racing driver Nick
Higdon will pilot the #69 in the final three races at Chicagoland, Kentucky and
Kansas.<br />

weekend was no different as Bill Kimmel Sr and Will’s seven month old son
William were in attendance. Bill Sr was named the grand marshal for ARCA’s
Official Throwback Weekend. “It means a lot to me for Erica (Will’s wife) and
little Will to be here. He may not remember these trips, but we will.” Everyone
enjoyed the gorgeous Salem afternoon before and after practice/qualifying, but
as we all know, the racing is the reason we’re here.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kimmel’s final lap in practice put him fifth on the speed
charts and he found himself in the same spot after qualifying. To say he was
happy would put it mildly. “Hahaha, wooooo ,if the car lets me drive like that,
we’re going to be fast!” Kimmel started third after the pole sitter had to drop
to the tail and quickly settled into fifth place. </div>

underneath him and the car moved down the track, falling back to 13<sup>th</sup>.
From that point on, Kimmel was fighting a horribly loose race car. No rear
grip, and he couldn’t go full throttle down the straightaways. Still with all
that going on, he was picking up spots and found himself inside the Top 10.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“They were telling me on the radio where the leader was and
a few laps before the caution (Lap 68) I was coming off turn two; the lap before
the caution, I was entering turn three. I thought I was catching them.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the lead lap cars pitted on Lap 70 with a majority of
them taking two tires Kimmel was comfortably in 6<sup>th</sup> place, never
letting the leaders get more than a straightaway ahead. A final caution on Lap
135 brought the entire field down pit road for four fresh tires and fuel.
Kimmel restarted sixth and was hanging with the lead group until the rear end
finally succumbed to the ultimate problem; a broken locker.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“The last 10 laps of the race, I couldn’t even get on the
throttle it was so bad. It was like someone was taking a chain and yanking on
the rear end. We should’ve wrecked three or four times. I’m thrilled the car
came back in one piece, but that was our third broken gear of the season…on a
positive note, gears are cheaper than engines! Huge thanks to all the sponsors
that made this weekend possible: FASS Fuel Systems, Laramee Jewelers, Team
Construction, Interstate Fuel Injection, MC Concrete, Bremm Vinyl, New
Washington State Bank and Longhorn Fab Shop.”</div>

The team didn’t leave the track completely empty handed
though. Through the fan vote before the race, the Kimmel Racing throwback
scheme honoring Bill Kimmel Sr was voted the best paint scheme in the race.
Other throwbacks included Alan Kulwicki, Dale Earnhardt Jr’s 2001 Pepsi 400
car, Jack Bowsher and the Jeff Burton Exide Batteries car.</div>

The team has already begun working towards the race coming

Five straight outings for Will Kimmel ended in DNF's this year and it looked like the bad luck this team has suffered for two seasons wasn't going to end.<br />
<br />
They seem to of straightened the ship a little bit with back to back Top-10's on the dirt at Springfield and DuQuoin including Kimmel's first ever ARCA Racing Series pole on Labor Day at the DuQuoin Fairgrounds. His lap of 32.904 fell just shy of Ricky Stenhouse Jr's one lap record of 32.896 set in 2008.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zGc6uksgmGI/WbMkzjxBrCI/AAAAAAAAAUo/ertzzm_0HYshzgz4CxolyDfyuwN6T0bYwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_8970.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zGc6uksgmGI/WbMkzjxBrCI/AAAAAAAAAUo/ertzzm_0HYshzgz4CxolyDfyuwN6T0bYwCEwYBhgL/s200/IMG_8970.JPG" width="150" /></a>"That's the best car I've ever had. The set up was something we ran during the night race last year and on fresh tires no one could catch us. Once the tires went away we fell off quite a bit but were still competitive. It was a lot of fun to finally show what we're capable of." A couple late race incidents dropped Kimmel to 13th on the final restart but on new tires he made up six spots in two laps to finish seventh. "If we would've had one more lap I think we could have finished fifth; two more laps and we could have won that race. That's how fast the car was."<br />
<br />
The team hopes to carry this momentum into one of the biggest weekends of the season, the fall night race at Salem Speedway. Even though Kimmel has loved and excelled on the dirt, Salem has always been the track that he would like to get his first ARCA Racing Series victory at. Will has a career best second place finish back in 2011 at Salem, to go along with two third place finishes in 2013 and 2015.<br />
<br />

Kimmel Racing will showcase their special paint scheme, honoring Bill Sr with a paint scheme resembling his ARCA car last run in the late-70's. "It just made sense to go with something honoring Pop," said team owner and crew chief, Bill Kimmel Jr.<br />

Will isn't sure what to expect out of the car, but they are going with a tried and true strategy that has worked quite recently.<br />
<br />
"Our intermediate cars have been good but we've fallen behind on the dirt tracks and short tracks. So, we took one of our intermediate cars and turned it into a dirt car (two Top-10's this season). And we've taken our best intermediate car and have set it up for Salem this weekend. Everything is where I want it on the scales and in the shop; now it just has to drive."<br />

It’s been a busy week at Kimmel Racing as the team prepares
for the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200 at Salem Speedway on Sunday. Even with
inclement weather looming over the rolling hills of Indiana, Will Kimmel stays
positive. Not just about the chances of racing; but about his car.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This is the best I’ve felt about my car in a long time.
It’s taken a lot of time and a lot of work, but it feels good. Real good.”</div>

Salem Speedway is a homecoming of sorts for the Sellersburg,
IN native. Will’s career best finishes in the ARCA Racing Series are at Salem
(2<sup>nd</sup> in the 2011 fall race and a pair of 3rd place finishes in 2013
and 2015). Throw in a Late Model Championship in 2007 at the famed high banked
half mile and Kimmel has found more success at Salem than any driver in the
field. But as most competitors, Kimmel is greedy for more.</div>

“When I look at previous ARCA races here, and the big street
stock races (Firecracker 200 and Halloween 200), I see a few missed
opportunities. Chances we had for a big win where we just fell short. Honestly,
it’s races like those that push us to get back to victory lane.”</div>

Sunday and the fall race is run on a Saturday night underneath the lights. And
as most of us know there have been years where the fall race is run in warmer
weather than the spring, and other years the spring race is bordering on 90<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">°.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
“The setup from spring to fall isn’t really different. Surprisingly,
if you look at qualifying times over the years, we’re faster in the spring. You
wouldn’t think that, but we are.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a world where everything is, “better than ever”, Kimmel
promises that his optimism about this weekend isn’t just conjecture. “I’ve been
over every inch of this car. We’ve torn it down and built it back up more than
a few times. We will be really good on the long runs, something we've seen a lot of recently at Salem.” In the last four Salem races, ARCA has seen 11 long runs of 35+ laps; three of those four races ended on runs of 35+ laps.</div>

Will Kimmel and his wife Erica are awaiting the birth of their first child, William James Kimmel IV, scheduled to be here the week of the race. In preparation for that, the team finished the Daytona car a few weeks ago and Ricky Sanders is scheduled to run the #69. "The Daytona car is just about ready as it sits right now," said Kimmel.
"We have a few things to do, but not much. We anticipated this could
happen and planned accordingly." <br />
<br />
But that doesn't mean that things have been slow at the race shop. There is always something to do and there is always the <i>next </i>next race.<br />

We hadn't torn it down in a long time and we've found so much stuff wrong with it. I don't know how it got this way, but we're finally getting it back to where it should be."<br />
<br />
Salem Speedway is considered by most, if not all, to be the home track for Kimmel Racing. Only an hour north of the race shop in the foothills of the Indiana countryside, Salem Speedway has hosted more ARCA races (100) than any other track in the series' storied history. In the last six years (excluding 2014, when Kimmel didn't run at Salem), he has tallied three Top-5's with a career best runner-up in the 2011 Fall race.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O50c18p3wA8/WJJIUPSxxqI/AAAAAAAAARg/plu6QtflS8sUuhvnTlOhfl7m4uXhDkX8ACLcB/s1600/IMG_5737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O50c18p3wA8/WJJIUPSxxqI/AAAAAAAAARg/plu6QtflS8sUuhvnTlOhfl7m4uXhDkX8ACLcB/s320/IMG_5737.JPG" width="320" /></a>The 2016 season saw Kimmel finish 3rd in the Spring and a disappointing 18th in the Fall race after contact with the outside retaining wall coming out of Turn 4. "We haven't been where we wanted to be at Salem the last few seasons, and it's been frustrating. But this car we've been working on, it'll be ready." The team plans to go up and test as soon as the weather gets nice which will give them an idea of where the car is at compared to where they think it should be.<br />
<br />
There is one race between Daytona and Salem; ARCA will run at the historic Nashville Fairgrounds three weeks before Salem. Kimmel Racing will be there with Nick Higdon running the #69. Next up for the team is the Lucas Oil Engine
Treatment 200 Driven by General Tire at Daytona International Speedway.
The first practice is at 4:00pm on Thursday, February 16th. Qualifying
is 3:30pm on Friday, February 17th and the green flag drops Saturday, February 18th at
4:15pm EST.<br />

Buying cars, selling cars, setting up cars for aspiring drivers; all the responsibilities of a driver developmental race team. The team just got back from the 2-day open test session for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards that was held on January 13th-14th. "We didn't do a lot, but we accomplished what we needed to", said Kimmel, the third generation driver from Sellersburg, IN. "It was a successful, uneventful test which is what we needed after last year."<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kdCVBHkB9bI/WH6SO--SkmI/AAAAAAAAARE/SJ5r-Z6lqBgLVcKkJl95IoLpbY7YryJwACLcB/s1600/Wrecked%2B68.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kdCVBHkB9bI/WH6SO--SkmI/AAAAAAAAARE/SJ5r-Z6lqBgLVcKkJl95IoLpbY7YryJwACLcB/s200/Wrecked%2B68.jpg" width="200" /></a>In case you don't remember, Kimmel Racing took two intact race cars to the Daytona test in 2016 and came back home with two torn up race cars due to factors completely outside of their control. Kimmel commented that, "...those pictures keep popping up on the Memories feature on my social media."<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OFbijDIrDTk/WH6SQcY8F0I/AAAAAAAAARI/FcZ2Ri_CaX8hWz9jKJLgOTYP5asiajV3wCLcB/s1600/Wrecked%2B69.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OFbijDIrDTk/WH6SQcY8F0I/AAAAAAAAARI/FcZ2Ri_CaX8hWz9jKJLgOTYP5asiajV3wCLcB/s200/Wrecked%2B69.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
While the beginning of the season has started off much better in 2017, there is some uncertainty as to whether or not Kimmel will race at Daytona in 32 days. And like the test session in 2016, it is totally out of his control. Will's wife, Erica, is eight months pregnant and due sometime in early February.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XrAsaBau674/WH6SLeDQ2QI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/pfuzRFspkkovWqN7QIYdYYbXXNRcV9VsQCLcB/s1600/IMG_5604.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XrAsaBau674/WH6SLeDQ2QI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/pfuzRFspkkovWqN7QIYdYYbXXNRcV9VsQCLcB/s320/IMG_5604.JPG" width="320" /></a>"If she has the baby in the next few weeks, I'll be there. Otherwise, I'll be here (in Indiana) with her." The baby will carry on the namesake of his father, grandfather and great grandfather as William James Kimmel IV. While that may seem like a short turnaround for the team, Will assures his fans that they are ready.<br />
<br />
"The Daytona car is just about ready as it sits right now. We'd have a few things to do, but not much. We anticipated this could happen and planned accordingly." So far, 2017 has started off the right way for Will and the entire team at Kimmel Racing, which bodes well for the rest of the season. Highlighted weekends on the calendar include Daytona (baby pending), both Salem races and both dirt races. There are other race weekends in play but you can expect the #69 to be fast and competitive at those five.<br />
<br />
"Everyone wants to win those races. We've had success at each track in the past and just need one break to go our way." Here's to hoping all the breaks fall towards Kimmel Racing this season. Next up for the team, tentatively of course, is the Lucas Oil Engine Treatment 200 Driven by General Tire at Daytona International Speedway. The first practice is at 4:00pm on Thursday, February 16th. Qualifying is 3:30pm on Friday and the green flag drops Saturday, February 18th at 4:15pm EST.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311902470623674834.post-59781025280558516352016-06-07T18:01:00.003-04:002016-06-07T18:11:25.264-04:00Road Trip Review - Michigan PreviewFollowing a broken axle at New Jersey Motorsports Park and a rough test session at Pocono earlier in the week, Will Kimmel was hoping to salvage the long 10-day road trip with a decent finish in the Pocono race on Friday. "We struggled here all week, pretty much since we unloaded. Changed everything we could after the test session on Tuesday and got it as close as we could to what we wanted."<br />

E3 Spark Plugs/SO Contracting Ford Fusion into the Turn 2 wall, one of
the faster parts of the track known so lovingly as the Tricky Triangle.<br />
<br />
"I thought I had him cleared, I don't know. One of the problems of running towards the back of the pack here in the ARCA Series is being around guys who aren't sure what to expect, especially at tracks like this."<br />
<br />

<br />
In his post-wreck interview with FS1, Kimmel mentioned taking their primary Salem Speedway car to Michigan, which is exactly what the team has been working on since they got back from Pennsylvania on Saturday. "I mean, it's not ideal," Kimmel said about taking a Salem car to Michigan. "But we don't really have much of a choice. Just one of those things. It's an older car, but it's dependable and I know what to expect."<br />
<br />
E3 Spark Plugs will be on the side of the Kimmel Racing Ford Fusion this Friday at Michigan Int'l Speedway, a track where Will has two Top-10 finishes in five starts, back to back in 2013 and 2014. The two starts at MIS before 2013 were start-and-park efforts, while the 2015 race Will finished 16th due to mechanical problems.<br />
<br />
Overcoming adversity is something Kimmel Racing is familiar with, and they couldn't do it with an immense amount of positivity. <span data-offset-key="4855a-0-0"><span data-text="true">"Unfortunately, we didn't learn much at New Jersey and Pocono. The wreck at Pocono along with what we broke at NJMP have set us back, but Michigan should be good," said team owner and crew chief Bill Kimmel Jr.</span></span><br />
<br />
Will shared his father's outlook heading into Michigan. "We are really looking forward to getting back to Michigan. We had a good test there and are really hoping we can pick up where we left off."<br />
Kimmel was fourth in both the morning and afternoon sessions of the open ARCA Test at Michigan on May 19th, turning his fastest lap of 38.268sec / 188.146mph.<br />

<br>
<br>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4yR3eRS039s/V1Dbr5WwFsI/AAAAAAAAAOM/DNbsHpaYzkoIDov1dAhRB6zpsIAs6L1WgCLcB/s1600/Will%2BNew%2BJersey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4yR3eRS039s/V1Dbr5WwFsI/AAAAAAAAAOM/DNbsHpaYzkoIDov1dAhRB6zpsIAs6L1WgCLcB/s320/Will%2BNew%2BJersey.jpg" width="320"></a>Last Wednesday the team left Indiana to begin a 10-day road trip including New Jersey Motorsports Park (race) and Pocono Raceway (test and race). After back-to-back Top-5 finishes at NJMP, Kimmel's expectations were the same for this past weekend. "We finished preparing the road course car in February, knowing things were going to get busy. Once we got back from the Michigan test on May 20th, we focused on the road course car. The road courses are fun, because you're constantly busy in the car. I really enjoy them."<br>
<br>
After the first practice session, Kimmel was second fastest. "The day started off great, we were second fastest and had the speed we needed. Couldn't have been happier." It went downhill quickly, much to the dismay and confusion of the team. "We made some changes and from there on out, we were losing speed and had no clue why. We lost 2.5 seconds and couldn't figure it out."<br>
<br>
After qualifying the team changed gears on the car, forcing them to the rear of the field. Kimmel worked his way up to sixth with an engine he described as 'flat'. Shortly after that, a broken axle ended the day. "The guys worked their tails off to get me back out there and make the best of it. Turns out, we had lost a cylinder as well, which explains the engine problems. To say I'm looking forward to Pocono is a huge understatement."<br>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0LGnrbeHpNU/V1Db1baDXSI/AAAAAAAAAOU/OlOIZy2DzXEY_b0uOhgUHpTkOhAd49NKACLcB/s1600/Pocono%2BRaceway.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="184" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0LGnrbeHpNU/V1Db1baDXSI/AAAAAAAAAOU/OlOIZy2DzXEY_b0uOhgUHpTkOhAd49NKACLcB/s320/Pocono%2BRaceway.png" width="320"></a><br>
After turning the 17th fastest lap out of 25 entries in the open test at Pocono on Tuesday, Kimmel and his crew could only speculate as to the extent of the problem. "At first, we couldn't figure out why it wouldn't turn. During the test we realized it was a sway bar issue. We hadn't run this particular sway bar, so we weren't sure what the results would be."<br>
<br>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sBQ7nKGOHRE/V1DbstxsSwI/AAAAAAAAAOE/n85zMmTeVwc5UucQNlOVlpSrHO90bHIcgCLcB/s1600/Will%2Band%2BBill%2BNew%2BJersey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sBQ7nKGOHRE/V1DbstxsSwI/AAAAAAAAAOE/n85zMmTeVwc5UucQNlOVlpSrHO90bHIcgCLcB/s320/Will%2Band%2BBill%2BNew%2BJersey.jpg" width="240"></a>"The composite body already creates a lot of rear downforce which tightens the car up naturally. Add that with the sway bar, and we had a really, really tight race car." Before the practice on Thursday, the team changed just about everything they could. "We loosened the rear up as much as possible; adjusted the track bar, housing, springs on both sides. Everything." Kimmel's fastest lap of practice clocked in at 166.837mph/53.945sec, good enough for 12th fastest out of 32 entries.<br>
<br>
Before the fall race in 2015, Kimmel had notched four straight Top-10's at Pocono, including three Top-5's and a runner-up in the 2014 August race. While this road trip hasn't been what they expected, Will and his Kimmel Racing team has proved that they can fight through adversity as well as anyone.<br>
<br>
"The changes we made were huge, and they helped a lot. We're going to ride it out and see what happens. I've got a lot of faith in this team to go out and get the job done on Friday." Kimmel will attempt to qualify the E3 Spark Plugs / SO Contracting Ford Fusion at 1:45pm with the <span>General Tire #AnywhereIsPossible 200 being televised live on FS1 at 5:30 p.m EST.</span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311902470623674834.post-13816538508847646502016-05-26T22:48:00.000-04:002016-05-27T12:09:21.809-04:00Kimmel Prepares For Right Hand Turns<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In a 15-day span, Kimmel and his family owned team will take part in two test sessions (Michigan and Pocono) and two full races (New Jersey Motorsports Park and Pocono). So, how have things been in the shop?<br>
<br>
"We have been swamped, to say the least. The road course car has been together since February. We knew we were going to get busy and had to get ahead when we had the opportunity."<br>
<br>
A seven week break between the season opener at Daytona and the second race at Nashville allowed Kimmel Racing to get the road course car finished, so that they could focus on getting their remaining fleet of cars together. The race shop can hold nine cars comfortably, and at one point in March held 10 that were in varying states of completion.<br>
<br>
Following the open test session at Michign Int'l Speedway on May 19th for the composite body cars (where Kimmel was 4th fastest), it was all hands on deck for the road course car. "We came home, got the Michigan car cleaned up then focused on the road course car. It was pretty much done, so we went over everything and put on new brakes on it. Finished it up on Wednesday."<br>
<br>

In three career starts at New Jersey Motorsports Park, Kimmel has two Top-5's. Impressive for a driver who had never raced on a road course before coming to ARCA. Part of his success making right hand turns comes from his perspective on road course racing.<br>
<br>
" <span class="null">The road courses are just fun, you're constantly busy
in the race car. I just enjoy running them because they are different. I
try not to look at it as a "road course", but just as a race track that I
have to figure out how to get around."</span><br>
<br>
<span class="null">NJMP has two fully functioning layouts (Thunderbolt and Lightning); ARCA will be on the Thunderbolt course which is a 12-turn, 2.25mi layout. ARCA has run at NJMP every year since 2008 with all of the races but one being won by a Dodge. Kimmel will look to put a Ford in victory lane for the first time at NJMP on Saturday when the No. 69 Kimmel Racing E3 Spark Plugs Ford Fusion rolls onto the starting grid.</span><br>

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zZFLLzntCdI/Vr4tuBo4sZI/AAAAAAAAAL4/5o_yvfJ_oCY/s1600/Bill%2Band%2BWill%2BDaytona.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zZFLLzntCdI/Vr4tuBo4sZI/AAAAAAAAAL4/5o_yvfJ_oCY/s320/Bill%2Band%2BWill%2BDaytona.jpg" width="320"></a>It was nearly a month ago that Kimmel Racing lost both the #68 and #69 cars during an open test at Daytona Int'l Speedway. Shortly after the wreck, the father and son team determined that neither car would be able to return for the season opener, and they were forced to go out and purchase a new super-speedway car in preparation for February 13th.<br>
<br>
"Outside of our passion and desire for this sport, we owed it to our sponsors to fight and get ready for Daytona," said Bill Kimmel Jr. <br>
<br>
"We don't really know what to expect," Will said when asked about the new car. "There's only so much you can learn in the shop. We've just got to get it out on the track and get some laps in with it. We wouldn't have this opportunity if it wasn't for E3 Spark Plugs, SO Contracting, SCCY Firearms and Longhorn Fab Shop. They've really stepped up and made this possible for us."<br>
<br>
In the first practice session on Thursday they turned 20 laps in the car, quickly finding some problems. Luckily, a term not used in reference to Will the last couple of seasons, the problems were minor fixes. They were able to fine tune the newly purchased Chevrolet for the second and final practice session on Friday, topping the leaderboard with a lap of 47.543 / 189.302mph.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AIO0lgthGEo/Vr4tuGfc6rI/AAAAAAAAAL4/H3wvkl6nHpk/s1600/New%2B69%2BIn%2BGarage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AIO0lgthGEo/Vr4tuGfc6rI/AAAAAAAAAL4/H3wvkl6nHpk/s320/New%2B69%2BIn%2BGarage.jpg" width="320"></a>"We had some problems in practice with the car yesterday. Had a gear go out and found some electrical problems this morning. Today the car was totally different and 100% better. We were able to draft with the #22 and #77 (both Cunningham Motorsports entries) to get to the top of the leaderboard in a pack of about 20 cars. It worked out really well for us."<br>
<br>
Last year the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards began using group qualifying at Daytona, along with Talladega and New Jersey Motorsports Park. Nine groups of five cars, grouped based on practice speeds, had eight minutes on the track to turn the fastest lap they could.<br>
<br>
"I like the group deal because it takes emphasis off single car runs. It's hard on a small team to spend the money to make a car fast by itself." Will turned a lap of 47.978 / 187.586mph, good enough for ninth. "My goal was to start inside the Top 10, and that's exactly what we are going to do."<br>

The 53<sup>rd</sup> annual Lucas Oil 200 at Daytona is live on FS1
Saturday, February 13 and precedes NASCAR’s same-night Sprint Unlimited.

A few weeks ago, we asked our followers on Facebook and Twitter to submit questions for Will to answer, we would compile them and include them in the next article. Well, you've been waiting, so HERE are the answers to your burning questions for Will!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>How does the E3 Spark Plugs sponsorship affect the season schedule?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"We are pretty much on the same schedule as last year, but we didn't have enough help to go to all the races, we just knew the ones we wanted to do. This year, we know for sure we are racing in 12."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q99FQDWJ5wY/VqeKIAsYttI/AAAAAAAAALQ/-pqD8_KKNNQ/s1600/WILL%2BKIMMEL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q99FQDWJ5wY/VqeKIAsYttI/AAAAAAAAALQ/-pqD8_KKNNQ/s320/WILL%2BKIMMEL.jpg" width="240" /></a><b>So anything you get from here on out is a bonus?</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
"We have roughly 80% of what we need to go do it the way we want, which is close enough to be sure of 12 races. We still have the hood and the quarter panels open. But our ability to be this confident about running 12 races at 100% is partly because of what E3 is doing for us."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>How many race cars do you have?</b></div>
<div>
<br />
"12 total; 11 ARCA cars and one Late Model."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Do you have any plans to run NASCAR Sprint Cup this year?</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
"No, not really. But, remember, the plans for the Kentucky race last year didn't come up until this time last year. So, the answer to that question would have been the same at this point last year. And Kansas was real last minute, so, I feel that if the opportunity came up again this year, it would be similar to the Kansas deal. Last minute, spur of the moment."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>How big of a transition is it between racing a street stock, and NASCAR Sprint Cup car?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"The Cup cars are stuck to the ground a lot more; they have so much downforce, the tracks just sucks the car down. Until the tires go away. Then you get that heavy car feel that you have in a street stock. In a street stock, you have that heavy car, sliding around feeling all the time. So, there are similar characteristics, but it takes 20-30 laps on tires in the Cup car before you get that street stock feel."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Is there one race that is circled on your schedule, that stands out from all the others?</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
"Normally it is the Salem night race, but this year I'm really looking forward to the DuQuoin Fairgrounds race, because it is under the lights. We've been so good on the dirt, to have the opportunity to run that race under the lights in front of that great crowd, it's going to be a lot of fun."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>What is your favorite track? Throughout your entire career, which one is your favorite?</b></div>
<div>
<i>It was difficult to get him to give me ONE, but when you've raced on as many tracks as Will, it's difficult to name just one!</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
"Salem is definitely towards the top of the list. Anderson is fun." </div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Bill reminds Will of Riverview Speedway in Carthage, TN.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>"</i>Oh yeah, Carthage. That was fun. It's a quarter-mile track that is banked 24 degrees. Late Model's run laps in the 10's there. Mini-cups are in the 12's."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>This next response surprised me, considering Will didn't run road courses growing up.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
"Road America (<i>in Wisconsin)</i> is fun, so was Road Atlanta. There aren't a lot of tracks I don't like, but there are some that I'm not as good at. Lucas Oil Raceway in Indy is a good example. It's a great track, but I'm not that good at it. Simply because it's so flat and the turns are so long, and I grew up on high banked, sweeping turns at Salem."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>What are your responsibilities for the team, outside of just being the driver?</b></div>
<div>
<i>This one kind of stumped him, so we brought in Bill to help answer.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
"As far as the race team goes, the driver is the face of the race team. He takes the responsibility of hunting for sponsors, and in our current situation, Will is his own car chief. It's just the situation we're in, because we're such a small team." </div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
I personally have seen Will get lunch for his crew members at the shop and sweep up at the end of the day. The list of his responsibilities is long and detailed, but such is life when you are racing for your family run race team. Thanks to everyone who participated in this Q&A, keep your eyes open for more opportunities to interact with Will and the team members throughout the season!</div>

With just a few minutes before Will attends his first NASCAR Sprint Cup driver's meeting, Will remains calm and relaxed. Spending the afternoon hanging around the garage and hauler, it has allowed Will the opportunity to talk with some fans while remaining close to the car as it goes thru tech and final preparations.<br />
<br />
Will was able to speak to Brad Keselowski, Alex Bowman and Justin Allgaier about the cars and track, and he's appreciative of all feedback. <br />
<br />
In addition, Will has been able to meet and greet with sponsors and their guests. <br />
<br />
As the planes fly in formation overhead and the concert begins on the frontstretch, Will's dream is just a couple hours away from coming true!<br />
<br />
The green flag waves at 7:30pm and the race will be live on NBCSN or you can follow online at Nascar.com.<br />

Will remains excited and upbeat towards his NASCAR debut at Kentucky Speedway. Even with limited laps of practice (approximately 12), Will likes the changes the team was able to make to the #32 Go Green Racing Ford Fusion. Hopeful for additional practice session later today, Will would like to gain more confidence and seat time in this Sprint Cup car. <br />
<br />
During the rain delay, Will had the opportunity to discuss the track and car conditions with the team. When speaking with Crew Chief, Clinton Cram, Will was able to talk about improvements that driver and team can make during another session of practice. <br />
<br />
With qualifying cancelled, the NASCAR rule book states field will be set by practice times. Will has a guaranteed starting spot with team owner points, so he will take the green flag from 40th. <br />

The 1.5 mile track located in Sparta, Kentucky is only about an hour from home for <span class="il">Kimmel</span>. Even though it is a relatively close track, the 27 year old driver has only raced there a handful of times within the ARCA series, once in a NASCAR Nationwide series race and once in the NASCAR Camping World Truck series.
