DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Brad Keselowski didn’t know in January if he would walk again, but there he was walking with a cane Wednesday at Daytona International Speedway. And, of course, driving a race car. Keselowski passed a 50-lap driving test Monday at Charlotte Motor Speedway that gave him the confidence he could race the Daytona 500 this week. And less than two months after breaking his femur on Dec. […]

The NASCAR Cup Series has been unpredictable for several years, and a few of FOX Sports' motorsports experts expect the 2026 season to be just as wild. In the most recent edition of "Kevin Harvick's Happy Hour," Bob Pockrass, Kevin Harvick and Mamba Smith were all over the map with their predictions for the upcoming season.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson left full-time NASCAR racing after the 2020 season. Some thought he would come back for another full year in 2021 in front of post-COVID fan-filled tracks, but Johnson was ready for his next adventure. He’s had plenty of next adventures, including a couple of years racing in INDYCAR and purchasing a stake in GMS Racing, eventually becoming the majority owner […]

The people who run the Hall have promised to fix it, but the solutions they recently leaked are likely to make it even worse. They need a complete overhaul, a bigger electorate and more transparency — in essence, […]

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — For a moment when I saw Tony Stewart in November and asked him about racing a truck at Daytona, I had the feeling I looked at him as if he had two or three heads. As my camera rolled, Stewart declined to answer at the time about why he would think about doing it, but certainly my reaction wasn’t the only one. Apparently the reaction is […]

There were moments on Tuesday night, more than Purdue head coach Matt Painter would care to admit, when his team staggered and wobbled following an enthralling first half on the road against No. 7 Nebraska. A potent blend of relentless offensive rebounding, timely perimeter shooting and the ever-present playmaking from star point guard Braden Smith had propelled No. 5 Purdue to a double-digit advantage that swelled as high as 22 […]

Which conference can claim the title of best in college basketball? FOX Sports bracket forecaster Mike DeCourcy’s latest NCAA Tournament projections offer a snapshot of the national picture, and the arguments for multiple conferences are fascinating. The Big Ten and SEC feature the greatest depth, with both projected to send 10 teams to the tournament, according to DeCourcy's projections. The Big Ten backs that up with five teams ranked in […]

It's always loud in Times Square, but it was even louder on Tuesday morning. NASCAR amplified the noise by setting a Guinness World Record for the "World's Loudest Billboard." Plopped right in the middle of Times Square (Manhattan, New York) is the billboard featuring a 1:1 replica NASCAR Next Gen engine that emits the roar of the Cup Series car. "Setting a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title is a proud moment […]

The top 25 rankings are important for understanding just who is killing it in college basketball, but we can go deeper — all the way to the bubble and beyond. The NCAA Evaluation Tool, or NET, is a rankings system used in Division I basketball to help figure out which teams are going to participate in March Madness. As the NCAA puts it, NET "takes into account game results, strength of […]
