The No. 2 truck is going to be out front once again. Nick Sanchez won his sixth career pole award at Darlington this afternoon. Sanchez will lead the NASCAR Truck Series to green tonight in the Buckle Up South Carolina 200. A couple of drivers ended up with Darlington stripes. Nick Sanchez was able to get his truck around the corners in a much more calm and stable manner than others. It wasn’t even close by the time he crossed the line, earning the pole by a comfortable margin. This is the second pole award this year for Sanchez. He was the pole winner at Texas and finished P3. Sanchez won the...

This week RFK Racing made sure to go out and check the finish line at Darlington before the NASCAR Cup Series goes racing. Last week at Kansas the team was a little dejected after Chris Buescher lost by 0.001 seconds, with a crooked finish line to boot. Of course, the painted finish line is not the official line. So, if the paint is a bit crooked, it’s okay, the cameras and timing system have a perfectly straight line right where it needs to be. Still, the RFK Racing group didn’t feel great after last week. At least they’re having a little bit of fun this week in Darlington. The social media t...

Ross Chastain and Kyle Larson,” Petty said, praising the No. 1 and the No. 5. “I know Larson’s a dirt track racer. I know Larson understa...

NASCAR Throwback Weekend at Darlington is here. The Goodyear 400 is full of fun paint schemes paying homage to the near and distant past. Not everyone is participating in the festivities but the ones who are have done a heck of a job with the designs. It takes teams and sponsors to come together for a successful throwback paint scheme. Sometimes you have to alter a logo or change a color around to make something work the way it is supposed to. This year a few teams went above and beyond. The Hendrick Motorsports group all have great throwbacks. It is the 40th anniversary of the team so they ar...

You know, the two weeks — really been kinda busy, just staying busy with appointments and wor...

NASCAR senior vice president of competition Elton Sawyer believes that the key to improving short track racing in the Next Gen car isn’t centered around increased horsepower. Sawyer, speaking on “The Dale Jr. Download” this week with Dale Earnhardt Jr., said that NASCAR can use the races at Bristol and Richmond from earlier this season as data points for why it’s important to get the tires right, rather than increase horsepower. “If you take Bristol — great data point — then you go to Richmond where we start the race on wet weather tires, the first 30 laps of that at Richmond it looked like Ri...

Denny Hamlin believes that the NASCAR race in Kansas this past weekend produced a finish that wasn’t surprising. On hisActions Detrimental podcast, the 43-year-old driver explained he wasn’t shocked to see the race produce the closest finish in NASCAR history. “Especially when it comes down to a green-while checker, anything can happen in that scenario,” Hamlin said. “When you have cars come off pit road, they do have tires, at least right side tires like the two winners had. It’s an opportunity for cars to get side-by-side and then stall each other out and then have a great finish. “It wasn’t...
