ROCKINGHAM, N.C.—Long after the checkered flag waved in the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ long-awaited return to Rockingham Speedway, Sammy Smith’s fortunes improved dramatically.
Smith was awarded the victory in the North Carolina Education Lottery 250 after the No. 2 Chevrolet of ostensible race winner Jesse Love was deemed to have violated Rule 14.14.2.I-5.h which covers trailing arm spacers and pinion angle shims.

At 45 years old, it’s strange to think that we haven’t seen Kasey Kahne behind the wheel of a NASCAR stock car in nearly seven years. A veteran of over 500 Cup races with an impressive 18 wins, Kahne’s NASCAR career came to an abrupt end in the middle of the 2018 season.

After grinding as a full-time NASCAR competitor for nearly two decades, Kasey Kahne needed time away. He was forced to miss the final 11 races of the 2018 Cup Series season with Leavine Family Racing while battling extreme dehydration, which ultimately ended his full-time NASCAR career.
It took some time for Kahne to reconnect with the sport he dedicated his life to. But after glancing at the 2025 national series schedules, one race stuck out to the 18-time Cup Series winner.
