The XFINITY Series will have a couple of relatively new faces in new places this weekend at Richmond International Raceway. Matt Tifft will be making the first of 13 scheduled starts in Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 18 car. Additionally, Camping World Truck Series regular Cole Custer will be making his first ever XFINITY start, racing …
It is time for something different. This weekend will be the first of four heat race events that NASCAR will hold for the XFINITY Series in 2016. Bristol Motor Speedway will be the first venue to try out the new format. Here is a refresher on how the heat race format will work: The weekend …
As the XFINITY Series heads to Texas Motor Speedway, Texas native Brennan Poole finds himself 10th in the series points standings. Poole, who will turn 25 next week, is perhaps the biggest surprise in the top 10 of the XFINITY standings. So far, he has been keeping pace with his fellow NXS regulars, having posted just …
The last time that the XFINITY Series took to the track, Kyle Busch had some interesting words for NASCAR at the end of the race. After blowing a tire on the final lap and losing both the lead and the race, Busch criticized NASCAR over his team radio for the sanctioning body’s decision to not …
The good news for Richard Childress Racing is that the four-car team reached Victory Lane just five races into the XFINITY Series season. The bad news, at least as far as the XFINITY championship is concerned, is that Sprint Cup regular Austin Dillon was the one who delivered the win to the team. RCR’s three …
There have not been many high points in 2016 for XFINITY Series fans who favor a second-tier series without Sprint Cup driver dominance.

It is still early in the XFINITY Series season, but we are beginning to see which drivers will emerge as championship contenders. There are not many surprises among those names.

Following the XFINITY Series’ second race of the season, the biggest storyline was Kyle Busch, once again, curb-stomping the competition on his way to his first XFINITY victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Justin Allgaier is back in familiar territory. After a two-year stint in the Sprint Cup Series, he has returned to the XFINITY Series to race for a championship.

The 2016 NASCAR XFINITY Series season begins on Saturday with its opener at Daytona International Speedway. A win at Daytona is special for any driver, but with the addition of a Chase in NASCAR’s second-tier division, the season opener takes on a much greater importance for the series regulars. A win at Daytona would most likely guarantee …
Rumor has it, the folks at NASCAR are contemplating changes for the NASCAR XFINITY Series. Let’s face it, can you blame the sanctioning body? After another long year with countless headlines featuring Sprint Cup Series drivers leading nearly every lap of a race throughout the majority of the season, fans are irritated, especially the younger …
It has been nearly two years since I first spoke with Chris Buescher.
