Something that has consistently dumbfounded me is the amount of hate and disrespect Ricky Stenhouse Jr. gets from fans on social media. There’s constantly jokes about him wrecking and insults being thrown around. There’s even a parody account or two. Yes, Stenhouse is an ultra-aggressive driver, and sometimes that can lead to incidents, but don’t …
Reed Sorenson will be in the Daytona 500. The 34-year-old veteran finished 18th in the first Bluegreen Vacations Duel at Daytona on Thursday night (Feb. 13), which wasn’t good enough to qualify for the race. Justin Haley, who had locked his way in with his qualifying lap, raced his way in by finishing one spot higher than …
Kaz Grala returns to Richard Childress Racing’s No. 21 Chevrolet in 2020. RCR announced in a press release on Friday afternoon the 21-year-old would race a limited NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule for the team. Grala will share the ride with Myatt Snider and Anthony Alfredo. Last year, Grala drove the No. 21 in five races, …
2019 was what has come to be the standard season for Brad Keselowski over the last handful of years. The 2012 NASCAR Cup Series champion won three races in 2019, his third year in a row winning three times. He finished eighth in points, just like he did in 2018. He had one less top …
When Kyle Busch won the NASCAR Cup Series race and championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November, he became the first driver to win two championships under the elimination-style playoff system since NASCAR developed it in 2014 — something that is significant for numerous reasons. Prior to this year, a different driver had won every time …
One of the biggest stories coming out of the NASCAR Xfinity Series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway was Landon Cassill finishing 15th in Shepherd Racing Ventures’ No. 89. It marked the first time Morgan Shepherd‘s team was running at the finish since 2013, and it was the team’s best performance since 2009. For the first time …
Kyle Busch was cruising to the victory and the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship. He had a large lead in the closing laps at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday evening (Nov. 17) when he approached what was supposed to be the biggest threat to his title hopes: Aric Almirola. Busch and Almirola had collided with …
Denny Hamlin went into the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday (Nov. 17) with a shot at the title. But came up empty once again. Hamlin previously failed to get the title in 2010 and 2014, but this year was perhaps his best shot to grab his elusive championship. …
No one in the history of NASCAR has ever won a championship in all three national touring series. One of the biggest threats to that stat came up short on Saturday evening (Nov. 16). Christopher Bell won the Gander Outdoors Truck Series championship in 2017 and had dominated the NASCAR Xfinity Series the past two …
One year ago, Brett Moffitt hosted the Gander Outdoors Truck Series trophy after winning the race and the championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Moffitt returned to the scene on Friday night (Nov. 15), but failed to recapture the glory. He finished the fifth this time around, placing him third among the Championship 4. “Not good,” Moffitt …
Justin Allgaier enters this Saturday’s (Nov. 16) NASCAR Xfinity Series finale with the most momentum, having won last week at ISM Raceway to advance to the Championship 4.
