Santa Fe Springs, Calif. – March 7, 2022 – YCM Technology (USA), Inc., under its brand name, The YCM Alliance, co-sponsored NASCAR Xfinity driver Gray Gaulding and his #08 Mustang in the recent Auto Club 400 held February 26, 2023 at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. The sponsorship was in conjunction with Southern California YCM Alliance dealer, North South Machinery, who was the team’s title sponsor for the event. 

Though the day ended too soon for Gaulding with a right front tire blow-out, the racing was great, and a good time was had by all, despite weather delays.  More teams than usually experienced tire failures while running at over 200 mph at the Auto Club Speedway. Some say this was due to the track surface, while others are pointing towards aggressive setups of the cars compounded by decisions to run with reduced air pressure in the tires.

“NASCAR is an ideal sport for the YCM Alliance to be a part of given the amount of precision machining the teams rely on, and the fact that so many of our customers closely follow the circuit,” said Michael Keeling, Inside Sales Manager for the YCM Alliance.

YCM Alliance dealer, North South Machinery was the title sponsor of the Gaulding team for the Southern California event.
