Ryan Preece put a new twist on win-and-in for the NASCAR postseason. Preece took the lead on the final lap and snatched the victory in the regular-season finale when the caution came out at Daytona International Speedway. The win launched him to 16th in the standings and gave him the final spot in NASCAR’s revamped Chase, which no longer has automatic bids to a driver who wins a race. "I’m […]

NASCAR enters its last regular-season race with three playoff spots on the line and a new rules package. Here are my thoughts on a few questions going into the event: Who Gets The Last Few Playoff Spots? There are five drivers vying for three spots — Bubba Wallace, Austin Cindric, Shane van Gisbergen, Ryan Preece and Brad Keselowski. Preece and Keselowski are the two drivers on the outside looking in […]

The NASCAR 2027 series schedules have been announced. Here are the main changes for each series: In Cup, NASCAR has moved the Clash from Bowman Gray Stadium to Daytona. It has moved the All-Star race from Dover to North Wilkesboro, with Dover now having a points race (and North Wilkesboro not having one).

Both Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney had issues on pit road at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and both overcame them to get the job done. Blaney won the race, while Hamlin clinched the regular-season title. So Blaney jumped up these rankings, while Hamlin is firmly in control of the top spot. Here are my power rankings entering the regular-season finale Saturday at Daytona International Speedway. Dropped out: William Byron (Last Week: […]

The 2025 NASCAR season ended on a high note for champion Kyle Larson. For Denny Hamlin, it couldn't have ended worse, as the veteran driver watched his chances of securing his first title elude him once again. Now, Hamlin has four wins this season and Larson has none. And as the series drives toward The Chase, Hamlin sits at the top of the title oddsboard. Not only is Hamlin favored […]

WASHINGTON — Jeff Gordon enjoyed a trip down memory lane by winning both of the International Race of Champions events Saturday on the streets of Washington, D.C. ahead of INDYCAR's Freedom 250 on Sunday. The 10-lap exhibition races featured eight famous drivers who had competed in the previous version of IROC, a series that pitted the best from various forms of motorsports into equally prepared cars. In Pontiac Firebirds, the […]

There are just two races left in the NASCAR season before The Chase begins. And there are only nine spots left for drivers to lock into the postseason. The penultimate regular-season race is this Sunday, Aug. 23, as the Cup Series goes to New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Dollar Tree 301. Will the favorite Ryan Blaney get win No. 3 or will another driver emerge from the field and […]

Wait a minute, INDYCAR is racing where? Yes, the streets of Washington, D.C. But not near the Capitol, right? Well, across the street. And by the Washington Monument and Smithsonian? Yup. That’s sick. In what is guaranteed to be a spectacle, INDYCAR drivers will navigate a 1.7-mile, seven-turn course on streets well known to the world, including Pennsylvania Avenue (the course does not reach The White House) and through the […]
