Motocross roared to life in Carbon County as Carbon Emery MX (CEMX) hosted its first-ever race on Saturday, May 17, at the local motocross track in Price. The event marked the beginning of a brand-new race series aimed at promoting grassroots motocross in rural Utah communities.

The race drew a strong turnout with 246 entries from across Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho. Racers of all ages and skill levels participated in a full day of action-packed events, with several nationally recognized riders making an appearance.

Among the highlights were Bracken Hall, who has competed in American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Supercross, and William Jones, a standout in the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Championship. Hall dominated the event, taking first place in multiple pro classes and winning the Open Pro division, 450A class and the Dash 4 Cash. Jones earned the top spot in the 250A class.

The event was as much about family and community as it was about competition. CEMX placed special emphasis on supporting youth riders, offering prizes and recognition for hole shot awards in beginner categories. Winners included:

• 50cc Beginner: Easton Smith (Orem)

• 65cc Beginner: Kyezer Wells

• 85cc Beginner: Adam Wilkinson

• 85cc Open: David Guzzo (Loma, Colorado)

R&R Motorsports of Vernal, Utah, added to the excitement by donating a pair of Alpinestars Tech 10 boots—valued at $650—which were awarded to Hall for his first-place finish in the Open Pro class.

The event was sponsored in part by Rocky Mountain ATV/MC (Helper, UT) and R&R Motorsports. CEMX also announced a new partnership with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC that offers race participants Race Gas credits to help offset the cost of fuel and gear.

CEMX’s mission is to provide affordable, family-oriented motocross events that promote local pride and youth participation in small-town communities across Utah. Their vision is to build a strong foundation for motocross in rural areas by uniting families and fueling tourism through exciting, well-organized events.

“We want to deliver something special—something that gives kids and families a reason to get excited about motocross, right here in their own backyard,” a CEMX spokesperson said.

Upcoming Race Schedule:

• Monticello – June 27–28

• Price – July 11–12

• Vernal – August 8–9

• Monticello – August 29–30

• Price – September 26–27

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Nashville this weekend for the Cracker Barrel 400.

When it comes to the odds, bettors can also dive into that action and place wagers on which driver they think has what it takes to win outright.

Last week at Charlotte, Kyle Larson (+340) closed as the favorite. But he encountered misfortune at both the Indy 500 and then at the Coca-Cola 600, and Ross Chastain (+1800) ended up getting into victory lane.

Will Larson redeem himself at Nashville Superspeedway or will another driver take the checkered flag?

Press Release | May 28, 2025

The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum announces that legendary racer, tuner and team owner Eraldo Ferracci will serve as grand marshal for the 20th annual Barber Vintage Festival, which is scheduled to take place October 3-5. General admission tickets for the 2025 Barber Vintage Festival are available for purchase at barbermuseum.org/barber-vintage-festival.

This is a press release from Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum…

Birmingham, AL (May 22, 2025) — In recognition of a lifetime of exceptional contributions to motorcycling as a racer, an engineer, and a team owner, the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum is delighted to announce that Eraldo Ferracci will serve as grand marshal for the 20th annual Barber Vintage Festival, Friday, October 3, through Sunday, October 5.

Ferracci began his journey as a teenager working at a local dealer in his hometown of Terni, Italy. Within a few years, he was crewing for Gilera factory racer Libero Liberati. Ferracci soon began competing himself, eventually winning an amateur 175cc title in 1958 and the ’63 125cc Italian national crown on a factory Motobi.

In the late 1960s, Ferracci was instrumental in bringing small-displacement single-cylinder Benellis to an emerging American motorcycle market through mail-order catalogs. Always a competitor, Ferracci soon discovered drag racing. Combining his riding and tuning skills, he found success in a straight line hopping up multi-cylinder Hondas.

Ferracci and his family ultimately settled in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia suburb, where in 1980 he established “Fast by Ferracci,” the brand’s tricolore oval soon recognized worldwide for its range of high-performance products. When Ferracci moved into road racing, he quickly developed a reputation of building reliable machines that won races.

Ferracci has touched lives on both sides of the pit wall. Doug Polen, during an exceptional three-year run, scored back-to-back FIM Superbike World Championships and the 1993 AMA Superbike title on Fast by Ferracci Ducati 888s. In 1995, three-time world champ Freddie Spencer won his final AMA Superbike race riding a Fast by Ferracci Ducati 916.

When Josh Herrin wrapped up his 2024 MotoAmerica Superbike title, the Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati team and Ducati North America honored Ferracci by unveiling special “Fast by Ferracci” graphics on Herrin’s Panigale V4 R reminiscent of the livery applied 30 years earlier to Troy Corser’s Ferracci-fettled AMA Superbike-winning Ducati 888.

Barber also has a special relationship with Ferracci. With 1991 AMA Pro Twins GP2 champ Stephen Mathews at the controls, the Barber’s Dairy Race Team won three AHRMA titles on a Fast by Ferracci Ducati, as well as the 1993 WERA Unlimited Twins Expert National Championship. Mathews’ winning 888 Corsa is part of the museum’s permanent collection.

Details for this year’s Barber Vintage festival will be finalized in the coming weeks. Attendees can expect unique fan experiences, including BMW Motorrad Days Americas, Isle of Triumph, demo rides and new-product unveils, plus gravity-defying stunt shows, a kids’ zone, live music, and more crowd favorites, such as the “Wall of Death.”

Last year, more than 500 vendors participated in the largest vintage motorcycle swap meet in the country. Located a short walk from the museum, the three-day event boasts a tremendous selection of rare machinery, difficult-to-find America, European, and Japanese parts, plus historic memorabilia, drawing collectors and hobbyists from far and wide.

Fans will be treated throughout the weekend to AHRMA competition on Barber Motorsports Park’s world-class 17-turn, 2.38-mile road course, as well as at the dedicated flat-track and motocross venues. The festival will maintain its free-entry policy for children 15 years of age and under with a ticketed adult, making for an affordable outing for families.

Friday’s evening’s exclusive annual “Motorcycles by Moonlight” charity fundraiser, with its wine tastings, five-course meal, and live auction in the museum’s “Grand Atrium,” is once again expected to sell out. Charity funds raised will be earmarked for the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum education programs led by Dr. Liz Johnson.

Speaking of the museum, home to the largest motorcycle collection in the world, special events are planned throughout the weekend, such as behind-the-scenes tours of the restoration shop and engine fire-ups that draw thousands of visitors each day. Daily seminars will feature a variety of guest speakers offering historical insights and technical discussions.

Tickets for the 2025 Barber Vintage Festival are available for purchase at barbermuseum.org/barber-vintage-festival.

JGR AT NASHVILLE: Joe Gibbs Racing has recorded two top-five finishes and six top-10s in 16 combined NASCAR Cup Series starts at Nashville Superspeedway. The team’s best result was a second-place finish by Martin Truex Jr. in 2023. JGR leads all organizations with two pole awards and 597 laps led at the 1.333-mile tri-oval.

DENNY HAMLIN

No. 11 Progressive Insurance Toyota Camry XSE

700 STARTS: Sunday’s race will be Denny Hamlin’s 700th NASCAR Cup Series start – all coming behind the wheel of the No. 11 entry for Joe Gibbs Racing. Hamlin will be the 22nd driver in NASCAR history to reach 700 starts in the Cup Series.

HAMLIN AT NASHVILLE: Hamlin leads all drivers with 265 laps led at Nashville Superspeedway since the track was added to the schedule in 2021. He also owns a pair of pole awards (2022 and 2024) in addition to one top-five finish and two top-10s. Last season, Hamlin was in position to win until a late caution sent the race to an unprecedented five-overtime finish. Following the third overtime, the No. 11 team was forced to pit for fuel. He recovered to finish 12th.

CHARLOTTE RECAP: The No. 11 team finished 16th in last Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. After starting 20th, Hamlin quickly worked his way into the top 10 thanks to a fast car and great pit stops. He earned valuable stage points by finishing seventh in stage one and second in stages two and three. Overall, he led eight times for 53 laps before a late pit stop for fuel relegated him outside the top 15.

CHRIS GAYLE: Crew chief Chris Gayle led Kyle Busch to a NASCAR Xfinity Series pole award and victory at Nashville Superspeedway in 2021. One year later, he oversaw a top-five finish for Ty Gibbs in the Xfinity Series race at Nashville. In 2023 and 2024, Gayle and Gibbs finished 14th and 23rd, respectively, in two Cup Series races at the 1.333-mile tri-oval.

PROGRESSIVE: Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota Camry XSE will feature Progressive Insurance as the primary sponsor this weekend at Nashville Superspeedway. In March, Joe Gibbs Racing announced that Progressive will be the primary sponsor of the No. 11 Toyota for 18 races this season. For more information on Progressive, visit www.progressive.com.

CHASE BRISCOE

No. 19 Bass Pro Shops Toyota Camry XSE

BRISCOE AT NASHVILLE: Chase Briscoe has four career NASCAR Cup Series starts at Nashville Superspeedway with a best finish of 21st in 2024.

CHARLOTTE RECAP: Briscoe earned a season-best finish of third on Sunday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Briscoe started the Coca-Cola 600 from the front row after claiming his second pole award of the season. He ran inside the top five until an uncontrolled tire penalty on the first pit stop of the day sent him to the back of the field and a 27th-place finish in Stage 1. At the halfway point of the race, Briscoe had worked himself up to 17th. During Stage 3, Briscoe cracked the top 10 again and earned stage points with a ninth-place finish in the stage. Briscoe ran inside the top five for the majority of the final segment to secure his fifth top-five finish and a career-best finish at Charlotte.

2025 SO FAR: The third-place finish at Charlotte was Briscoe’s fifth top-five finish of the 2025 season. The Indiana native is one of only six drivers to record five or more top-five finishes so far this season. It also ties the number of top-five finishes the No. 19 team had in all of 2024 and gives Briscoe two more top-fives than he had all of last season. Briscoe’s 14.2-average finishing position ranks sixth amongst all full-time drivers. Last weekend’s race also moved Briscoe up to 11th in the driver points standings, 34 points above the cutline.

JAMES SMALL: 2025 marks James Small’s sixth season as a NASCAR Cup Series crew chief. The first five years of his tenure as crew chief were spent with Martin Truex Jr. as Small led the No. 19 team to eight wins, 46 top-fives, 86 top-10 finishes, and four NASCAR playoffs appearances. The Australia native led Truex to a runner-up finish in the 2021 championship and to the 2023 regular season championship.

BASS PRO SHOPS: Bass Pro Shops is North America’s premier outdoor and conservation company. Under the visionary conservation leadership of Johnny Morris, Bass Pro Shops is a national leader in protecting habitat and introducing families to the outdoors and has been named by Newsweek as “America’s Most Trusted Retailer for Outdoor Gear”.

CHRISTOPHER BELL

No. 20 DEWALT Concrete Solutions Toyota Camry XSE

BELL AT NASHVILLE: Christopher Bell led a race-high 131 laps and won both stages of last year’s race at Nashville Superspeedway. Unfortunately, an accident during the final segment left him with a 36th-place result. In the first three NASCAR Cup Series races at the track, Bell posted three top-10 finishes.

CHARLOTTE RECAP: Bell recorded his sixth top-10 finish in the last seven races with an eighth-place result in last Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

TY GIBBS

No. 54 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry XSE

GIBBS AT NASHVILLE: Ty Gibbs has competed in two NASCAR Cup Series races at Nashville Superspeedway with a best finish of 14th in 2023. In three NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at the track, Gibbs’ best finish was a fourth-place result in 2022. Last year, he won the pole award for the Xfinity Series race at the 1.333-mile facility.

CHARLOTTE RECAP: Gibbs started seventh and finished 24th in last weekend’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

SOLID STARTS: Gibbs’ seventh-place qualifying effort at Charlotte Motor Speedway marked his fifth consecutive top-10 starting position.

TYLER ALLEN: Crew chief Tyler Allen is in his first year leading Gibbs and the No. 54 team. While this is Allen’s first experience as a crew chief at the Cup Series level, he had a standout season in 2024 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Allen led JGR’s No. 20 Xfinity Series team to eight victories and a runner-up finish in the owner’s championship. Last season, Allen led John Hunter Nemechek to an Xfinity Series victory at Nashville Superspeedway.

INTERSTATE BATTERIES: Interstate Batteries, the leading replacement battery brand with the largest independent battery distribution system in North America, is in their 34th consecutive season as a primary partner at Joe Gibbs Racing. Earlier this season, the ‘Outrageously Dependable’ brand was featured on Christopher Bell’s No. 20 Toyota at Daytona International Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Texas Motor Speedway. Following this weekend’s race with Gibbs, Interstate Batteries will close out 2025 with Bell and the No. 20 team in the season finale at Phoenix Raceway (November 2).

The National Motorsports Appeals Panel today heard and considered an appeal of an L1 penalty issued on May 15, 2025 to driver Chris Buescher, owner RFK Racing and crew chief Scott Graves in the NASCAR Cup Series. 

The penalty concerns the following sections of the 2025 NASCAR Rule Book: Section 14.1.C Overall Assembled Vehicle Rules and 14.5.4.G Front Bumper Cover and 14.1.2.B Engineering Change Log / Exhaust Cover Panel Communiqué #6. The penalties issued were a two-race suspension to Graves, a $75,000 fine to the team and the loss of 60 championship points and five Playoff points to the driver and owner.

Upon hearing the testimony, the decisions of the National Motorsports Appeals Panel are:

1.                  That the Appellant violated one or more, but not all, of the Rule(s) set forth in the Penalty Notice.

                                                  i.    The team violated 14.5.4 – Front Bumper Cover

                                                 ii.    The team did not violate 14.1.2 – Exhaust Cover Panel

2.                  That the Panel amends the original Penalty assessed by NASCAR to read:

                                                  i.    A loss of 30 championship driver and team owner points

                                                 ii.    A loss of 5 driver and team owner Playoff points

                                                iii.    Two-race suspension for the crew chief

                                                iv.    $75,000 fine for team

In reaching the above decision, the panel provided the following explanation: “The panel concluded that NASCAR met its burden of proof regarding the reinforcement of the front bumper cover but did not meet it regarding the trimming of the exhaust panel cover. The rule book regarding the exhaust panel trimming lacked specificity on the amount trimmed or not trimmed. Accordingly, the Panel reduced the owner and driver points penalty from 60 to 30 points.”

The Appeals Panel members for this hearing:

• Mr. Tom DeLoach
• Mr. Cary Tharrington
• Mr. Kevin Whitaker

The Appellant has the right to appeal the decision of the National Motorsports Appeals Panel to the National Motorsports Final Appeals Officer in accordance with the NASCAR Rule Book.
