There was an old school buzz in the air on Sunday evening (July 19th) at North Wilkesboro Speedway as the NASCAR Cup Series was preparing for its points-paying return to North Wilkesboro.
There was one driver who stood out amongst the rest at the end of the night, and that would be Joey Logano, who led 323 out of 450 laps en route to his first win of 2026.
Stock Car Scoop host Eric Schneck breaks down Sunday’s running of the Window World 450 from North Wilkesboro Speedway, analyzing an absolutely dominant performance by Logano, as well as breaking down the six drivers who were on the lead lap at the end of the race.
Joining Schneck this week are Frontstretch trackside reporters Michael Massie and Andrew Stoddard, who give their thoughts on Sunday’s old-school race.
Closing out the show, Schneck breaks down the NASCAR Cup Series points standings which saw positive movement from both Logano and Shane van Gisbergen. Schneck also previews next weekend’s running of the prestigious Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the In-Season Challenge finale of Todd Gilliland vs. Ryan Blaney.
