Michael McDowell and Leavine Family Racing (LFR) are looking to build on their best finish at Dover International Speedway for the Apache Warrior 400. During the team’s last trip to Dover, McDowell captured his best finish at the ‘Monster Mile and had one of their best ever races at the one-mile oval track. Not only is the team looking to build on their best finish at Dover, but also improve on their qualifying efforts. The team has struggled in qualifying trim during the past few weeks, but is optimistic that Dover will bring good results. LFR is excited to have the FDNY Foundation back on board the #95 Chevrolet SS for the fourth time this season. The team first partnered with the FDNY Foundation in Pocono and is honored to have the opportunity to race with the New York City Fire Department’s (FDNY) colors on board once again.(Leavine Family Racing)
AND Michael McDowell is searching for options after Leavine Family Racing announced it will have Kasey Kahne on board for the 2018 season. While the team would like to have two cars down the road, they’ve chosen the Hendrick Motorsports veteran as their primary option. ‘I’m not done yet, McDowell told Frontstretch at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. ‘I don’t feel that a door is closing altogether. I just think it’s a new chapter and I think I will be back here in the Cup Series. If not, I think I will be doing something in NASCAR at some level. McDowell would be welcomed back to the organization if that opportunity materializes. And if he still needs a spot in the sport, Leavine will do what he can for his current driver – even if it’s putting him on top of the pit box. McDowell, meanwhile will try and continue in the sport any way he can for 2018. Just don’t throw out the driver label and call him a mechanic just yet.(Frontstretch)[Read More Here]
