Denny Hamlin is back on top after he finished fourth at Richmond. It was his fourth consecutive top five and his fifth in the last six races. Christopher Bell finished seventh to end his string of second-place finishes and as a result, he dropped a couple of spots. Here are my power rankings entering this weekend’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Dropped out: Bubba Wallace (Last Week: 6), Chris […]

Here's what's happening this week Inside The Garage: Markham, Ontario — Not all street courses are alike. And you might be hard-pressed to find two street courses as opposite as the ones INDYCAR drivers are taking on this month. When drivers raced Sunday on the streets of Markham, they had a 2.1-mile mix of lefts and rights and gradual turns, sharp turns and a hairpin on streets newly repaved for […]

Connor Zilisch won 10 O’Reilly Series races last year but has struggled this year as a rookie in the NASCAR Cup Series. Currently, he sits 34th in the Cup standings. However, after the 2027 season, the 20-year-old will leave Trackhouse Racing and will join Hendrick Motorsports. Zilisch will replace Alex Bowman, who already has announced his retirement after next season. Hendrick has signed Zilisch to a multi-year deal and Ally will […]

Just eight races ago, Joey Logano languished in 20th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings. Now he sits ninth in the standings and is a two-time race winner. The three-time Cup champion led the final 25 laps and 95 of the 400 on his way to the triumph on Saturday night at Richmond Raceway. He’s not locked into the postseason Chase just yet, but he’s well on his way with […]

Kyle Busch thrived at Bristol, with 22 wins on the track across NASCAR's three national series — including in 2022 with his final win as a Joe Gibbs Racing driver. And it's for that reason that Bristol is the perfect venue for a tribute to the late driver, who died suddenly in May at 41. Kyle's widow, Samantha Busch, announced that Ty Gibbs' No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota would […]

The NASCAR All-Star Race will return to the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2027, putting the $1 million-to-win exhibition on the short track where it was run from 2023-2025. After having a Cup points race this year to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the North Carolina track’s last Cup points event in 1996, the track will play host to the NASCAR All-Star event on May 23. While Cup teams will […]

NASCAR is heading to Richmond for the Cook Out 400 on Saturday, Aug. 15, and the stakes are incredibly high for drivers still trying to make the cut for The Chase. Only four drivers have secured their positions in the postseason — Denny Hamlin, Ty Gibbs, Ryan Blaney and Tyler Reddick. Which driver takes the checkered flag at Richmond Raceway and gets closer to locking himself into The Chase? Here […]

Christopher Bell has finished second in four of the last five races. That string of solid performances puts him at the top of this subjective power ranking list. I know, I know, he hasn’t won. And Ty Gibbs has a win, a third and two fourths over the last six races. But Bell’s run over the last five races shows that he's right there challenging for the win every single […]

NASCAR didn’t get to see its new end-of-stage policy in action last weekend at Iowa Speedway. Stages ending naturally is a good thing. But NASCAR is now prepared to be flexible when it comes to the length of the stages. Responding to feedback from fans and criticism that caution periods are too long, NASCAR decided that, if a caution comes out with 10 laps or fewer left in the stage, […]
