Tyler Reddick snapped a two-race winless streak with the victory Sunday at Kansas Speedway. That sounds like an interesting way to frame Reddick, not winning at Martinsville and Bristol. But when a driver has won five of the first nine races, that’s crazy talk in the Next Gen era where there is more parity. So it’s no surprise Reddick held on to the top spot in these power rankings as […]

With Long Beach in the rearview mirror, drivers and teams will now focus on the next five weeks in Indianapolis. Yes, some teams could have a test at another track, but for the most […]

Tyler Reddick continues to live the dream. Reddick had to think that maybe the racing luck had finally gone against him when his car sputtered. The sputtering made him lose the lead with only a few laps remaining Sunday at Kansas Speedway. But a caution with less than two laps to go re-racked the field, and Reddick was able to rally after a poor restart to get by Kyle Larson […]

NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick is riding the kind of Cup Series hot streak that Michael Jordan once enjoyed in his playing days. Oh, you can bet the NBA Hall of Famer is enjoying this one, too.

Ty Gibbs won his first Cup race in his 131st start. Many would have thought it would be sooner, but it’s not rare for a driver to need around 100 starts to earn his first win. Of the 26 full-time Cup drivers who have a win, their average first career win came in their 91st start. There are 10 full-time drivers in Cup who don’t have a win. Only one […]

When the NASCAR Cup series went to Kansas Speedway in the fall, Denny Hamlin finished second and had the fastest lap of the day. However, when the series was there last spring, he had a DNF. Now, the driver of the No. 11 car is the favorite to get into Victory Lane when Cup goes to Kansas on Sunday, April 19 for the AdventHealth 400 (2 p.m. ET, FOX). Christopher […]

Ty Gibbs has six consecutive finishes of sixth or better, with his latest finish being his best. The 23-year-old Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s victory last Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway allowed him to continue to climb in these rankings. Tyler Reddick, though, with four wins and six top-10 finishes in the eight races this year, remains in the No. 1 spot. Here are my power rankings heading into the race […]

Dystany Spurlock lives to go fast. Spurlock is a 34-year-old driver who has competed in motorcycle drag racing and most recently attempted stock-car racing on the NASCAR regional level. She made her debut in March 2026 in the ARCA East Series and finished seventh at Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway. Spurlock, the first Black woman to compete at the NASCAR regional level, followed that up with a 12th-place finish at Rockingham. […]

The winner at the Food City 500 on Sunday wasn't just any winner. It was filled with meaning and importance.

"What a moment for the Gibbs family," Kevin Harvick said on the latest episode of "SPEED with Harvick and Buxton." "Yeah, man, felt like an emotional one, a really meaningful […]
