Nitro Motorsports is proud to announce that Camden Murphy, a versatile competitor in both NASCAR and Monster Jam, will drive the No. 70 Dreamer Toyota in this weekend’s ARCA Menards Series race at Dover Motor Speedway.

 “I’m thrilled to team up with Nitro Motorsports at Dover,” explained Camden Murphy. “Joining such a well-structured ARCA program—especially one built on the legacy of Venturini Motorsports—is a huge step for me. Dover’s high speeds will be a new challenge, but given the team’s technical strength and Toyota backing, I can’t wait to show what we can do together.”

Murphy brings a wealth of experience from across motorsports disciplines. He began his NASCAR career in 2014 and has made 29 starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and seven starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, earning a reputation for his adaptability and determination. 

Outside of stock car racing, Murphy is a fan favorite in Monster Jam, having driven premier trucks such as Bakugan Dragonoid and Classroom Crusher. Murphy has earned accolades including Rookie of the Year, Rising Star, Fan Favorite Driver, and Breakout Driver awards.

“Welcoming Camden to the Nitro family for Dover aligns with our mission to grow racing talent,” added Nick Tucker, Owner of Nitro Motorsports. “Camden’s proven adaptability—whether in NASCAR Trucks, Xfinity, or Monster Jam—brings a fresh, dynamic element to our ARCA effort. We’re excited to support him and watch him excel on the track this weekend.”

Fans can watch Camden Murphy and the No. 70 Dreamer Toyota from Dover Motor Speedway on Friday, July 18 at 5:00PM EST on FS1 or Fox Sports App. Follow Camden Murphy on social media @camden.murphy for race weekend updates and behind-the-scenes content.

General Motors (GM) has named Jim Campbell as VP, performance and motorsports commercial operations.

Campbell will oversee commercial operations for GM’s motorsports programs, with a strategic focus on leveraging the Cadillac Formula 1 Team to elevate the Cadillac and GM brands. He will continue to work closely with GM’s global motorsports competition, engineering, purchasing, design, Cadillac and Chevrolet teams.

Campbell most recently served as chief product officer of GM China and president of the Durant Guild. He will continue to work with the GM China team to finalize the GM premium import restructuring already underway.

Over his more than 35 years at GM, Campbell has held multiple leadership roles, working with dealers, divisions, retail planning, fleet and commercial operations, product marketing, accessories and performance parts, product planning and export groups. He’s also held leadership roles in GM’s motorsports operations, including NASCAR, INDYCAR, IMSA, NHRA, FIA WEC and off-road racing.

Late last year, GM announced plans to field a Cadillac Formula 1 Team in the 2026 season as a fully American entry.

“Jim’s experience and leadership will be invaluable as we prepare to join the Formula 1 grid in 2026 with the Cadillac Formula 1 team, a uniquely American venture,” said GM President Mark Reuss. “While racing is deeply rooted in our history, F1 marks a bold new frontier, on a worldwide stage, and is the pinnacle of motorsports. Having Jim in this position working with our collective team makes me feel even more confident in our capabilities and plans to succeed, and to win.”

Shane van Gisbergen Reveals How He Took Over NASCAR’s Road Courses & What’s Next on Ovals

On this week’s Victory Lap, Kaitlyn Vincie sits down with back-to-back NASCAR winner Shane van Gisbergen. Fresh off his win at Sonoma, SVG breaks down why he’s been so dominant on road courses, what makes Trackhouse Racing such a strong fit, and how he plans to improve on ovals.

With only seven races remaining to set the 12-driver NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoff field, Saturday’s BetRivers 200 (4:30 p.m. ET on CW, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) at Dover Motor Speedway could play a big role in the championship outlook

Four teams are represented among the top-five drivers in the championship standings with reigning series champion, JR Motorsports’ Justin Allgaier holding a 59-point advantage over Haas Factory Team driver Sam Mayer atop the current rankings. Allgaier (2018 and 2020) joins two-time defending race winner Ryan Truex as the only multi-time race winners at the Dover mile.

But Mayer, who boasts an impressive 11 top-10 and eight top-five finishes through the first 19 races – his 15 top-15 showings is a season best – is hoping Dover’s Monster Mile will be where he celebrates his first victory of the season. The 21-year-old Mayer was third in last year’s race and is a perfect three-for-three in top-10 finishes there.

A victory for the Ford driver Mayer Saturday afternoon would halt a record 11-race winning streak for Chevrolet this season. The bowtie has won 17 of 19 races.

It’s Joe Gibbs Racing, however, boasts the most wins at Dover – 15 – its lineup of Xfinity Series championship hopefuls includes a pair of talented rookies in William Sawalich and Taylor Gray and along with veteran Brandon Jones and this week, former NASCAR Cup Series star Aric Almirola in the No. 19 JGR Toyota.

The three fulltime drivers have all turned in standout summers with the rookie Sawalich coming off a career best third-place showing on the Sonoma, Calif. road course last week. Jones just scored his best two stage efforts on the season at Sonoma. Gray arrives fresh off his 11th top-10 finish of the season in California and is a former ARCA Menards Series winner at Dover – leading 116 of 125 laps to win from pole position in 2022.

Interestingly, it’s cousins Jeb and Harrison Burton, who are straddling the Playoff line. Jeb Burton, driver of the No. 27 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet holds a 16-point advantage over Harrison Burton, driver of the No. 25 AM Racing Ford for that 12th and final Playoff position.

Jeb Burton has finished 13th or better in five of his seven Dover starts with a best finish of seventh in 2020. Harrison Burton has similar encouraging statistics with three top-10s in four starts and a top effort of fifth place – also in 2020.

The entire series, however, must find a way to best the mighty JR Motorsports team, which has won 10 races this season with six different drivers. It is coming off a phenomenal showing at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway where five drivers finished among the top-10 and 18-year-old phenom Connor Zilisch claimed his third win of the season.

Zilisch now ties his teammate Allgaier, and Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Hill for most wins on the season. They are the only competitors with multiple trophies.

NASCAR Cup Series regular Ross Chastain will steer the No. 9 JR Motorsports Chevrolet this weekend and two-time defending Dover race winner Truex will drive the No. 24 Toyota for Sam Hunt Racing. NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series standout Rajah Caruth is hoping to make his first Xfinity Series start of the season. He’s entered in the Jordan Anderson Racing No. 32 Chevrolet. In addition, ARCA Menards Series rising star Lavar Scott will also be attempting to make his Xfinity Series career debut this weekend in the No. 45 Alpha Prime Racing Chevrolet.

Practice is at 11 a.m. Saturday followed immediately by Kennametal Pole Qualifying at 12:05 p.m. – both sessions available on the CW App. Brandon Jones is the defending Xfinity pole-winner.
