Joe Graf Jr. to compete in ARCA Menards Series East race at Dover

DOVER, Del.: NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) Rookie of the Year candidate Joe Graf Jr. will perform triple duty this weekend at Dover (Del.) International Speedway, as the 22-year-old has added Friday afternoon’s General Tire 125 ARCA Menards Series East (AMSE) race to his calendar driving for Visconti Motorsports.

While no stranger to the ARCA Menards Series scene, Graf Jr. will make just his third ARCA East start – the first since last August at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway.

“I’m thankful for this opportunity to compete in the ARCA Menards Series East race this weekend at Dover,” said Graf Jr. who drives for Bobby Dotter’s SS GreenLight Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

“The extra track time this weekend at Dover will be extremely beneficial heading into the Xfinity doubleheader. Visconti Motorsports has an incredibly good ARCA East program and our goal is to contend for the win on Friday afternoon.”

Graf Jr.’s primary NASCAR Xfinity Series partner Bucked Up Energy will be the primary partner of his No. 74 Ford for the third ARCA East race of the season.

With no practice or qualifying for the Xfinity Series this weekend at the “Monster Mile” the one-hour practice session on Friday shortly before the race will prove to be immensely valuable for the former ARCA winner.

He hopes the experience will be beneficial as the Xfinity Series is just past the halfway point of their 2020 season.

“Any additional track time is extremely valuable,” Graf Jr. added. “With no practice or qualifying in Xfinity – it would have been a little more challenging without the ARCA East race. A good run on Friday will certainly be a boost for the rest of the weekend.

“I also want to thank Marie Benevento and John Visconti for the opportunity and looking forward to having our No. 74 Bucked Up Energy Ford at the front.”

Graf Jr. is a graduate of the premier ARCA Menards Series where in 39 races, he earned one win, seven top-fives and 21 top-10 finishes all for Chad Bryant Racing (CBR).

In addition to Bucked Up Energy, The Reichert Group, Event Tone Wireless, Bomber Eyewear and Circle TPR will serve as additional marketing partners for the 125-lap content.

The General Tire 125 will air live on NBC’s Track Pass on Fri., Aug. 21 beginning at 2:00 p.m.

About Bucked Up Energy:

Bucked Up is the everyman (or woman) energy drink. We don’t care about the color of your collar; whether blue or white, we all require energy to power our days. We want something that tastes like success, enhances mood and focus, and most of all, delivers long-lasting energy.

Without the CRASH.

The “other guys” still think energy is all about short bursts of production — hence why they market to extreme athletes. We’re not them, though. Like you, we need more than something that spikes our energy for a single event before sending us crashing. That’s fine for someone who only needs maximum output up for a couple hours…

That’s a cute fantasy and all, but this is the 21st century. We work 12-hour days, run side businesses, and binge new series. We can’t afford to invest in an energy drink that only fuels (max) five hours of production. We need more. 

Since the other energy drinks weren’t up to the job, we did what any self-respecting capitalist company would do; we found the need and filled it. We did it for you, but we also did it for ourselves. Because if there’s one thing everyone can agree on, it’s that success requires production, and to produce requires hard work, focus, and often long hours.

Bucked Up Energy boasts 300mg of caffeine as well as two added stimulants. This trifecta works synergistically to keep you going all day.

On top of that, we added Beta-Alanine; this powerhouse ingredient delivers a faint tingle, signaling that it’s time to work — and earn success. 

We want that success. Don’t you?

Get Bucked Up.
