With Michigan Win, Chris Buescher Makes It Two in a Row for RFK

After a day-long rain delay, the race finished in a great battle between the two fastest cars on the track, as it should be. Chris Buescher backed up last week’s win at Richmond with a stout performance holding off Martin Truex, Jr. who arguably had the fastest car all day. But as we all know, the fastest car doesn’t always win.

Denny Hamlin Bulls His Way To Pocono Win

“How can you wreck someone when you don’t touch?” Denny Hamlin ran Kyle Larson up into the wall late in the race and bullied his way to his 7th win at Pocono.

The Art of NASCAR Racing in the Rain: Chicago-Style

I wasn’t sure how this street race in Chicago would turn out. While hoping for the best, I was on the fence not only about the drivers’ ability to not turn this into a crashfest into Turn 1, but also thought this much-hyped event was nothing more than another NASCAR gimmick to drive eyes onto the sport even for a brief period of time.

Have at it, boys! (Or not…)

Back before the 2010 season, then Senior VP of Competition Robin Pemberton uttered those famous words, that now have many fans scratching their heads…  Boys, have at it. NASCAR was accused by many of being too strict and taking away the “rubbing is racing” attitude that fans supposedly loved.

Penske 1100 Sweep: Blaney Wins the 600, Newgarden Wins the 500

I sure hope you got your fix on racing this weekend, if not, then you are a superhuman fan! Nashville, TN driver Josef Newgarden (yes, he is American) won his first ever Indy 500 in controversial fashion. It’s nothing he did to generate controversy, but Indy race control kind of pissed off the team of Ganassi driver Marcus Ericsson.

Kyle Larson Delivers An Old-Fashioned All-Star Whoopin’

NASCAR and Kyle Larson were both in rare form for the return to North Wilkesboro for the 2023 All-Start race.

William Byron Recipient of Lucky Win At Darlington

Martin Truex Jr. Breaks Winless Streak at the Monster Mile

Last week I noted that Martin Truex, Jr. had three wins at Dover but hasn’t been all that great there as of late. He certainly turned that around leading 68 laps and holding off Ross Chastain after a late race restart. After being rained out on Sunday, the Cup teams returned on Monday to a green track that rubbered up nicely as the race progressed. This race was not a case of tires not dropping off as The Monster Mile started eating tires.

Sneaky Talladega Win For Kyle Busch

If you watch Talladega racing at all, you know that just about anyone can win the event due to the style of racing. If you watched on Sunday, Kyle Busch was probably not one of the drivers you picked to win. He wasn’t racing in the Top 10 most of the day and the field was bunched up about as tight as you could make it.

Christopher Bell Rings In A Win On Bristol Dirt

I have never been a real fan of the Bristol dirt race but I have to say this was the best Cup race I have seen on the dirt. The crowd was still not “old Bristol” worthy but it was a decent show considering it was a bit chilly. The race was not without incident and one of the cool things about the dirt is that cars that did a 360 could get themselves straightened up without a caution flag needing to be thrown.
