Kyle Busch has a new crew chief. Jim Pohlman is out; Andy Street is in. No one should act surprised over the move. Yes, Pohlman joined the team after the 2025 season and lasted only 10 races. But Busch sits 27th in the Cup Series standings, and that won’t cut it for a two-time series champion. He’s also finished better than teammate Austin Dillon five times and finished worse than […]

NASCAR drivers are, undoubtedly, athletes. Pay no mind to Stephen A. Smith's pleas otherwise. "If you don't know anything about racing, just keep your opinion to yourself," FOX Sports' Kevin Harvick said on the latest episode of "SPEED with Harvick and Buxton" in response to recent viral comments made by the popular sports media personality. Smith said that "getting behind the wheel of a car" is not the same, and […]

The hurricane has arrived in the power rankings. Carson "Hurricane" Hocevar earned his first career victory Sunday at Talladega, and that has him in the power rankings this week. Here are my rankings heading into the May 3 race at Texas Motor Speedway. On the verge: Christopher Bell, William Byron, Austin Cindric, Ryan Preece, Daniel Suarez, Bubba Wallace 10. Brad Keselowski (Last Week: 10)RFK Racing No. 6 Ford Keselowski got caught […]

Here's what's happening this week Inside The Garage: Talladega Superspeedway (Talladega, Ala.) — It was a weekend where all the talk was about the future of NASCAR and the change in CEO. Then, as timing would have it, a very important person when it comes to the future of the sport celebrated on the track. The mostly unapologetic 22-year-old Carson Hocevar won at Talladega Superspeedway. He has generated some enemies […]

Talladega Superspeedway (Talladega, Ala.) — Carson Hocevar celebrated his first career win in epic fashion, probably generating a little bit of concern by NASCAR and his Spire Motorsports owner. So it was appropriate. Hocevar can be a little polarizing as not always making the smartest decisions on the track, but the 23-year-old Spire Motorsports driver made the smart decisions when it mattered most as he outdueled Chris Buescher to win […]

Jim France is stepping down from his NASCAR CEO role but will keep his role as chairman as the majority owner of the racing business. Effective immediately, NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell has been promoted to CEO, while executive vice president Ben Kennedy — France's great nephew — has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer. "I am incredibly proud of the strength and stability we’ve achieved across the sport, which gives […]

Oh look, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch keep talking about each other. Where is that eating-popcorn emoji when you need it? Busch’s season is on a skid. He sits 27th in the Cup standings and his status as a free agent after this year is questionable. So it's no surprise that the talk about the future of the two-time Cup champion is a hot topic. Hamlin talked about Busch at […]

It's the case at every superspeedway that anything can happen and anyone could win. And fans and bettors might want to keep that in mind when the NASCAR Cup Series heads to legendary Talladega for the Jack Link's 500 on Sunday, April 26 (3 p.m. ET, FOX). When it comes to winning, Tyler Reddick has done more of that this year than any other driver. He's gotten into Victory Lane […]

We're seeing a new and improved Tyler Reddick during the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. Entering the season, he had a total of eight Cup race wins — three with Richard Childress Racing in 2022 and five with 23XI Racing across 2023 and 2024. But in 2026 alone, he might match that total as he currently owns five wins through nine races. FOX Sports NASCAR analyst Kevin Harvick certainly thinks […]
