Do you think Johnny Sauter's punishment of a one-race suspension by NASCAR fits the offense from Sunday at Iowa Speedway? Jim Utter: I think it was an appropriate punishment. NASCAR has never tolerated retaliation while the race is under caution - for safety concerns above all else I would suspect. It's one thing to beat and bang with an opponent racing for position. It's quite another to take ...Keep reading View the full article

We can’t recall a time when we had a more love/hate relationship with a long-term test vehicle. Let’s address the elephant in the room. This particular ’18 Land Rover Discovery was not without problems. In fact, it spent several weeks of our evaluation time at the dealership for various issues. But when it was working, View the full article

Chastain had won the race and took both the Stage 1 and 2 victories, but failed post-race inspection.

Niece Motorsports argued that minor damage during the race caused the truck to fail the minimum height ...Keep reading View the full article

Brain Buckets for Jeeping? Kudos to the Jeeper wearing a helmet on page 20 of the June 2019 issue (“Arizona Boulder Bashing”). As rockcrawling becomes more aggressive, the opportunity for rollovers and endos becomes ever more likely. We have some experience with head injuries in our family. They can be truly terrifying.

After showing promise in his previous two Truck Series starts this season with Kyle Busch Motorsports, capitalized on it in Sunday’s rain-delayed race at Iowa Speedway. Lessard finished top three in both practice sessions prior to the M&M’s 200, Lessard hoped to qualify up front for the race.

So, I moved into the Jeep world in 1996. I started off at a Jeep dealer, and I quickly rose up. I was a shop foreman, working through the service department. In the early 2000s, one of my best friends bought a brand new Jeep Rubicon when it came out, and he took me out Jeeping with him, and within seconds I was hooked. I knew this was something I had to do. I wanted to do it within the dealership environment. The owners of the dealership weren't really into that. They really just kind of had this "make cash now, and not worry about the long run". And for me, everything's about the future and about relationships. I decided to just do my own thing. I knew that I liked people, I knew I could work well, I knew I could do the customer service aspect, and of course, I knew Jeeps. So, we started off tinkering around in a garage. We moved into our first small shop with one employee. My parents, they would come and work with me. My Dad and my Mom. As we grew, we expanded quickly. Customer service paid off. Our people trusted us. They kept coming back: we'd build one Jeep, they'd get another Jeep; we'd build a second Jeep, they'd trade that one in; we'd build a third Jeep. And just on and on. A lot of our clients go back 15 years. A lot of our clients go back to my dealership days: they followed me over. I don't believe in the "make a buck now" philosophy. It's not about "How many sales can we close today?" It's about how many relationships and how many longterm clients we can build, and then how do we keep them in the building? That's first and foremost here. Again, we ... Values-based is everything that we do. We know that if we do the right thing and if we help people, if we solve their challenges over and over again, they're going to keep coming back. And that's our goal: solve every challenge that they have in the best way possible. View the full article
