Talk about a quick study. No NASCAR Xfinity Series driver comes to Indianapolis Motor Speedway with more momentum than Connor Zilisch, who won his series-best fourth race of the season and fifth of his young career in last Saturday’s rain-shortened event at Dover Motor Speedway.
After three weeks off, the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series returns to action in Friday night’s TSport 200 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (8 p.m. ET on FS1, NRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). That’s good news for reigning series champion Ty Majeski, whose victory at the 0.686-mile short track last year proved to be a springboard to the series championship.
A car accident can happen to anyone, and given that driving is such a consistent part of daily life, it’s easy to forget about the danger involved in getting into a vehicle.
Thankfully, the vast majority of driving accidents don’t end in fatality, but you can still get badly injured, and even if you don’t, it will almost certainly shake you up a little.
ANDERSON, Ind: Rette Jones Racing confirmed today that Late Model and ARCA Menards Series standout Kole Raz will pilot a second entry in Saturday night’s Red Bud 400 at Anderson (Ind.) Speedway, marking the team’s first multi-car effort in ASA STARS National Tour competition.
Raz, 22, will drive with support from Port City Racecars, a Jones Company, as he joins full-time Rette Jones Racing driver Kyle Steckly, who will continue to wheel the No. 30 Auto Parts Centres Ford Mustang.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (July 24, 2025) – Tristan McKee, the inaugural signee of Spire Motorsports’ driver development program, will make a pair of ARCA Menards Series starts in 2025 behind the wheel of the team’s No. 77 Gainbridge Chevrolet SS.
Five days after turning 15-years-old, the minimum age requirement to compete in an ARCA Menards Series national event, McKee will make his debut at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International in the August 8 General Tire 100 at the Glen. He will return to the Gainbridge Chevy in November for the ARCA Menards Series West season finale at Phoenix Raceway.
LOUDON, N.H. – With only five races remaining in NASCAR’s 2025 regular season, drivers and fans will soon turn their attention to New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) for New England’s only NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) Playoffs race on Sept. 21. Christopher Bell, Joey Logano and Ross Chastain visited “The Magic Mile” on Tuesday for a Goodyear Tire Test.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
BROWNSBURG, Ind.: The weeks have flown by, and now Greg Van Alst makes his anticipated 2025 debut in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, taking center stage in Friday night’s TSport 200 at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis.
Launching his own Truck Series program has brought its fair share of challenges, but for the former ARCA Menards Series winner, the journey has been fueled by the same perseverance and determination that have defined his career. When the green flag waves, it will all be worth it.
