Four Turns Motorsports Engine Woes Hit Gibbs Teams
Four Turns Motorsports notes engine expires for Nos. 11 18 and 20 this season with three engines replaced pre race due to reliability fears. Problems are distinct, complicating the engine shop’s analysis. Kevin Harvick posts his fourth win in 33 races at Auto Club Speedway, after a 115 race winless span in Sprint Cup. Sunday’s Auto Club race finished in 2 hours 39 minutes as the event's 400 miles with minimal cautions. Kyle Busch dominates ACS in Nationwide with a third straight win there and fifth in six, as Fontana hosts Trucks revival later.
