Elliott went to Victory Lane for the second time in three races, and Elliott Nation is in a lather over the potential for him to contend for …
Bubba Wallace’s Rookie of the Year campaign has had its fair share of ups and downs. Through the first 29 races, the Mobile, Alabama native has amassed two top 10s and one top-five finish in the season-opening Daytona 500. Talk about starting off with a bang.

Kyle Larson. Daniel Suarez. Darrell Wallace Jr. That’s it. And that’s a problem. Other American sports don’t have this problem. Diversity shouldn’t be such a major issue in 2018.
