Ryan Blaney piloted the No. 12 car to an eighth-place finish, while Brad Keselowski wound up 10th in the flagship No. 22 car. In most of this season’s events, only …
Here we go again. On Wednesday, news broke that NASCAR had fined another driver for comments the sanctioning body saw as disparaging to the sport. This time, it was XFINITY Series driver Darrell Wallace, Jr. who drew the ire of NASCAR following last week’s race at Daytona. The sanctioning body fined Wallace $15,000 for a …
The XFINITY Series will make its second trip of the season to Daytona International Speedway on Friday night. Fans should be in store for another wild contest at The World Center of Racing.
