Goodyear Racing Notes – Las Vegas Motor Speedway

by MikeOctober 7, 2025

The Goodyear Racing Eagle tire setups awaiting NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series teams at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be the same left- and right-side tire pairings both series used at Kansas Speedway two weeks ago.

This weekend marks only the second time both series will run these right-side tires, which means teams can lean on their Kansas data to refine their strategies ahead of Las Vegas. The left side tires across both Xfinity and Cup have been used five times previous this season, so teams come to Vegas with a solid base dataset to work from.

CONCORD, N.C.—As expected, road course maven Shane van Gisbergen won Sunday’s Bank of America Roval 400, but that was only a small part of the story at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course.

The driver from Northampton, Pennsylvania is always a threat to reach Victory Lane no matter where he’s racing. In fact, Hirschman has won a race in five consecutive Modified Tour seasons despite racing on part-time basis.

Chase Briscoe Looks To Solidify Position In NASCAR Cup Round Of 8

by MikeOctober 3, 2025

Chase Briscoe is the only NASCAR Cup Series driver to have scored top-10s in each of the first five postseason races this year.

But in the “What-have-you-done-for-me-lately?” world of auto racing, that model of consistency provides the driver of the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota minimal comfort heading to Sunday’s Bank of America ROVAL 400 on the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course (3 p.m. ET on USA, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
