Welcome Back: This weekend at Darlington Raceway, SS GreenLight Racing with Jeff Lefcourt and Joe Graf Jr. welcome back G-Coin as the primary partner of the team’s No. 07 Ford Mustang for Saturday afternoon’s Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help a Hero 200.
Darlington marks the 24th race of the 2022 Xfinity Series season and 13th race overall between 2021 and 2022 where G-Coin, a product that brings gold into the digital age, making it accessible and giving it true utility will be the primary partner.
Download the G-Coin app on iTunes or Google Play and use referral code FHY 6D3 AHT and Joe Graf Jr. will send you $5 worth of G-Coin.
About G-Coin: Unlike cryptocurrencies, G-Coin is a digital title to a real asset: 1 G-Coin token equals 1 gram of Responsible GoldTM.
G-Coin combines the best qualities of traditional gold – stability, security, value, confidence, and social status – with the benefits of digital innovation, allowing users to easily save, send, and spend gold.
Tech-savvy investors keen to avoid cryptocurrency volatility, or physical storage burden and costs, are now able to purchase G-Coin digital gold tokens. G-Coin tokens can be purchased in increments of 0.01gram, giving individual investors better access to the gold market and the ability to use gold for day-to-day purchases.
G-Coin Wallets give users the freedom to send and receive value instantly, securely, and at no cost from the convenience of your mobile phone.
G-Coin Tip of the Week: Responsible Gold is institutional grade 99.99% pure gold that has been responsibly sourced.
Responsible Gold can be traced back to its origin giving the owner or G-Coin token holder knowledge that it has been responsibly mined and sourced throughout the supply chain.
Same Day Settlements With MoneyGram: G-Coin customers with Tier 3 access can use cash to buy or sell G-Coin tokens at participating MoneyGram locations.
To place a buy or sell order using cash, Tier 3 customers need to select the ‘MoneyGram’ option from ‘Pay With’ that appears on the buy | sell screen. Once the order is placed, customers will receive an email with detailed instructions to follow at participating MoneyGram locations.
For buy orders, customers will have 24 hours to make the payment in cash, which is when the balance on the G-Coin wallet is updated. Buy orders expire after 24 hours so customers will need to place a new order after that time.
For sell orders, customers are responsible for collecting the proceeds of the sale in cash at participating MoneyGram locations. The G-Coin balance will be updated when the sell order has been placed, which is irreversible.

Joe Graf Jr. Pre-Race Quotes:
On Darlington Raceway: “I’ve enjoyed competing at Darlington ever since my first race there in 2020. I haven’t always had the best finishes there but when we have made it to the checkered flag, our finishes have been strong and that’s what I am excited about this weekend.
“Our No. 07 G-Coin Ford Mustang was fast in the simulator this week and I hope to transfer that on the actual track on Saturday morning in practice and qualifying and then the race.
“If we can leave Darlington with a solid top-20 finish, I’ll be satisfied with that and look to build on that for the next race.”
On Goals For Remainder of 2022: “We made some strides during the first half of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series season but there is certainly room for improvement.
“We are quickly approaching the stretch drive of the Xfinity Series season. We continue to showcase that we have speed in our race cars but don’t always have the finishes to show that.
“From now until the end of the season at Phoenix, I am determined to nail the execution so we can carry some momentum into the offseason and to the 2023 season.”
