NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series teams have familiar Goodyear Racing Eagle tire setups for this weekend’s night races at Daytona International Speedway.
WMTW reports that Maine native and former NASCAR driver Ricky Craven has purchased Speedway 95 in Hermon, taking over from longtime owner Delano Merritt, who has been the sole owner of the track since 2010, according to a press release.
Austin Dillion won the Cup race at Richmond. Joey Logano of Middletown, CT ended up fourth while Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT ended his evening in 35th place.
RICHMOND, Va. – Austin Dillon claimed his sixth career NASCAR Cup Series race trophy, earned a 2025 Playoff bid and just as importantly, he enjoyed some sweet redemption in Saturday night’s Cook Out 400 at Richmond (Va.) Raceway.
Dillon led 107 laps on the night, including the final 49 to claim the victory and automatic berth in the 16-driver Playoff field – vaulting from a 25th place position in the championship standings before the green flag to a championship berth at the checkered flag in a clutch effort from the 2018 Daytona 500 winner and his No. 3 Richard Childress Racing team.
RICHMOND, Va. – There is both recent precedent and high motivation when it comes to the chances of a new winner claiming a Playoff position with only two races remaining in the NASCAR Cup Series regular season to settle the 16-driver championship field.
