The entry list for Saturday’s US Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway in the NASCAR XFINITY Series features a name many fans may not recognize if they don’t follow the NASCAR Pinty’s Series or have an encyclopedic knowledge of Camping World Truck Series fields in the mid-2000s: Peter Shepherd. Shepherd, 31, will make his XFINITY debut …
It isn’t every day that someone pulls off what Chase Briscoe did last night at Eldora Speedway. Briscoe, a part-time competitor in the NASCAR XFINITY Series for Roush Fenway Racing in 2018, returned to his old stomping grounds — the Camping World Truck Series for a one-night-only affair (at least, for now), winning the Truck …
For the first time, Erik Jones is a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series winner.

The schedules for the 2019 NASCAR XFINITY and Gander Outdoors Truck series seasons are here.

In fact, the XFINITY schedule is intact from 2018, while the Truck Series’ only …
When Kyle Busch exited Charlotte Motor Speedway victorious in the Coca-Cola 600, it not only gave the driver of the No. 18 a victory in one of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series’ crown jewel events that had long eluded him. It also meant he was finally a Charlotte winner. That’s important because prior to …
Guess it’s time to start reckoning with Kevin Harvick‘s 2018 season as a potential part of NASCAR history.

Look, I get it: you don’t know every little rule for this year’s All-Star Race. It’s not like they’re easy to remember.

10 races, 10 winners. That’s the case thus far in the 2018 NASCAR XFINITY Series season as the field begins its two-week break following last weekend’s race at Dover International Speedway.
