Three drivers hold the key to the NASCAR silly season. And one isn’t even in a contract year. Alex Bowman (Hendrick Motorsports) and Kyle Busch (Richard Childress Racing) are the most high-profile drivers who are not signed for next year. Whether they continue with their teams will determine whether two relatively high-profile rides are available. The other driver who is key is Connor Zilisch, who is signed through next season. […]

Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Speedway, Ind.) — Katherine Legge has a huge challenge ahead of her. Doing "the double" is no easy task. Scrambling to do the double is even more difficult. Doing both races with teams that don’t race full time makes it even a bigger mountain. But at 45 years old — 10 years older than any other driver who has attempted the double — Legge knows it could […]

Katherine Legge will attempt to add running "The Double" to her racing resume. The 45-year-old Legge is going to try to become the first woman to complete the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. According to BRANDed Management, Legge added the May 24 NASCAR race in Charlotte to her schedule and will compete in the No. 78 for Live Fast Motorsports. She will race the Indy 500 […]

With only four road-course races this year — and one of those being a street course — performance from the Watkins Glen race Sunday isn’t a great predictor of how a team is doing overall. But momentum, arguably, in racing is real. And so it should mean something. Here are my power rankings going into the All-Star race this weekend at Dover. I won’t update the power rankings after the […]

Here's what's happening this week Inside The Garage: Watkins Glen International (Watkins Glen, N.Y.) — Ryan Preece admitted he was surprised when NASCAR penalized him for wrecking Ty Gibbs at Texas Motor Speedway. And he wasn’t the only one. Preece will appeal his penalty of 25 points and $50,000 fine. And his appeal will center on the same May 3 race where Kyle Busch appeared to retaliate against John Hunter […]

Watkins Glen International (Watkins Glen, N.Y.) — Carson Hocevar didn’t spend all that much time in a dapper gray suit Monday night, but it was certainly a little bit of a new look for someone who performs best in a fire suit. How in the world did the 23-year-old Hocevar get invited to the 2026 Met Gala? "They called NASCAR and asked," Hocevar told me Friday after truck series qualifying […]

Last August, when the NASCAR Cup Series went to the road course at Watkins Glen, Shane van Gisbergen captured the checkered flag. Now SVG finds himself at the top of the oddsboard to win again when the series goes Bowling at The Glen on Sunday, May 10 (3 p.m. ET, FS1). Let's take a look at where the rest of the field sits as of May 6 at DraftKings Sportsbook. […]

Here's what's happening this week Inside The Garage: Texas Motor Speedway (Fort Worth, Texas) — Kyle Larson spent the last two months of May not just worrying about his NASCAR Cup Series car but also about his side job as an Indianapolis 500 driver. This year, he has no worries about the Indy 500 as he is not competing in that race. And as is typical for Larson, he has […]

Talladega last week was one for the books. A huge wreck took out a handful of contenders and Carson Hocevar emerged as the winner, earning his very first Cup Series victory. Now that the dust has settled from 'Dega, which driver will get into Victory Lane when NASCAR heads to Texas for the Würth 400 on Sunday, May 3 (3:30 p.m. ET, FS1)? Here are the latest odds at DraftKings […]
