Kevin Harvick is locking in his prediction for this weekend’s GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, one of NASCAR’s most exciting dates. On the latest episode of Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, Harvick made his pick, and it’s evident he’s confident that Ford will have a strong day at Talladega, as that’s where he’s focusing at the moment. “I have nothing but Ford’s on my list,” Harvick explained. “I’m going to go with Joey Logano. I think that he knows that this is his opportunity to win. “I think he knows that he had that opportunity to win at Daytona. And it didn’t work out. Not by his doing, bu...

Frankie Muniz is set to make his ARCA Menards Series season debut in Saturday’s General Tire 200 at Talladega Superspeedway. Muniz is reuniting with Rette Jones Racing, whom he raced for in ARCA for the entirety of the 2023 season. “I’m back home with Rette Jones Racing at least for one weekend,” Muniz said in a statement. “This was a last-minute opportunity that came to fruition after I received a call early this week, and after talking it over with my wife, she said, ‘Let’s go win, Talladega!’ “We are so excited to be back in the ARCA Menards Series. I’m also thrilled to be back with Mark (R...

While he wasn’t able to secure the race win, Kyle Larson scored his third straight pole of the season last week at Texas Motor Speedway. Denny Hamlin, his NASCAR frenemy, knows just how difficult it is to accomplish. Winning a pole award is major. With how stage racing works and the difficulty passing at most tracks in the Next Gen car, it almost guarantees you will score solid stage points, if not win the stage. On the latest episode of Actions Detrimental, Denny Hamlin talked about Kyle Larson’s qualifying speed. It is a big deal to win three in a row and give your team great track position ...

Kevin Harvick recognizes that NASCAR as a whole benefits when Chase Elliott, the sport’s most popular driver, wins races. On the latest episode of Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, Harvick elaborated on what Elliott reaching Victory Lane last weekend at Texas meant to the sport, and why the success of the No. 9 could help NASCAR as a whole gain more popularity. “That’s what won him the race. He was as aggressive as I’ve ever seen him race, especially over the last couple of years. That’s as aggressive as I’ve seen him be over the last couple of years, for sure,” Harvick said, regarding the No. 9’s a...

Last week at Texas Motor Speedway, there was one thing missing from the NASCAR infield – the scoring pylon. Denny Hamlin is not a fan. The old pylon had been there since the track opened and was a little beat up. So, Texas Motor Speedway took out the scoring pylon. They then added a massive screen on one end of the track so fans could keep up with the race. However, if you want to know the full running order, the video board is no help. Texas isn’t the only track to take out pylons and video boards in favor of a more centralized focal point. Denny Hamlin doesn’t think it is a good move for the...

The drag strip at World Wide Technology Raceway is going to need some cleanup. Heavy winds send a section of bleachers onto the strip. Thankfully, the oval NASCAR races on was not impacted. An image of the draft strip shows an entire section of bleachers lying on the track. The seats appear to have been ripped from the ground and flipped over onto the start of the strip. World Wide Technology Raceway hosts a number of events per year. It looks like this will take some considerable work. I’m not sure if any of the seating is salvageable after this. Here is a photo from FOX 2 showing the damage....

Kevin Harvick had some interesting thoughts regarding the last-lap incident betweenRoss Chastain and William Byron from Texas Motor Speedway. While Harvick was in the booth, he had a fantastic view on the moment where Byron got into the back of Chastain, sending the No. 1 from a top five finish to a rough spot on the final lap. On the latest episode of Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, the former NASCAR champion elaborated on what he saw. “Just watching it from the initial angles that we showed it, just you know, it looked like, it looked like the No. 24 just kind of spun the No. 1 out,” Harvick sta...

Through the first nine races of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, it’s been a Chevrolet and Toyota show. Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing have combined to win eight races, with Daniel Suárez of Chevrolet manufactured Trackhouse Racing taking the other. Fords, on the other hand, have done their best disappearing act. Fords have not only failed to win a race but have just one driver sitting inside the top-10 of the points standings. That would be defending Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney, who is seventh, having tallied four top 5s. With the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway approach...

A lot has been said about how NASCAR can improve the product on track. Elton Sawyer doesn’t see more practice as an answer. Teams and drivers have made complaints in the past about the sessions being far too short. In fact, Jimmie Johnson, who plans to race nine total times this season,felt that way this past weekend at Texas. Denny Hamlin has been a driver who has been on that train as well. However, there are those who don’t want more practice, they want the same or even less practice, in fact. For Elton Sawyer, as a NASCAR executive, it comes down to a couple of things: Is it improving the ...

For the first official Indianapolis 500 test session of the season, Kyle Larson was P2 on the speed charts and learned a ton in a short time. The NASCAR driver’s learning curve is shorter than most, but there is a lot he still doesn’t know about IndyCar. Really, there isn’t anything that can replicate real race speed and aero situations. Feeling the car getting loose or tight, oversteer or understeer I guess, and knowing how to adjust. Getting a run off the corner and making a pass down the straight. There is a lot that Kyle Larson won’t learn until he’s making actual laps in the Indy 500. Eve...
