This kid Connor Zilisch is keeping busy. The young driver has put up a few more NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races on his schedule. Zilisch is seen as the next best thing in American motorsports, and for good reason, too. This year as a 17-year-old, Connor Zilisch has already accomplished a ton. He has won a CARS Tour race, set the Truck Series qualifying track record at COTA and won a pole in his debut, finished P4 at COTA, and by the way – he won the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring. That is quite the resume in just a few months. He felt that his schedule between the Truck Series...

For many fans the fuel-saving race at Talladega was another reminder that NASCAR has issues with the racing product, Denny Hamlin included. Hamlin has been a vocal critic of the overall racing product during the Next Gen era. There was three-wide racing at Dega. But that was mostly just drivers letting it happen. Once the speeds picked up, it was just two-by-two lines from front to back. A third line tried to form late in the race but was stalled by a Ty Gibbs move. Denny Hamlin talked about solutions to the problem on Actions Detrimentalthis week. There are two different things going on here....

Last week at Talladega, the world got to watch as Michael Jordan made his first in-person trip to NASCAR victory lane. It was a moment that put NASCAR into the pop culture spotlight, with mentions on network sports shows, ESPN, and elsewhere in the media. Kevin Harvick says that MJ in victory lane is the best thing he’s seen all year. Harvick knows what NASCAR can be when the enthusiasm is behind it. Having someone like Jordan as a visible face in the sport can only lead to good things. On his Happy Hour podcast, Harvick explained what it meant to have Jordan there at Talladega. He also had a ...

During the GEICO 500 at Talladega, Shane van Gisbergen kept hearing his spotter tell him how many feet away other NASCAR drivers were from him. The only problem is, the New Zealander doesn’t have any idea how long a foot is, having grown up with the metric system. Instead, SVG had his spotter explain things in terms of the car. A half-car, car length, two cars away, etc. However, some radio chatter of Van Gisbergen telling his team he had no clue what a foot was, made for some funny memes online. Shane van Gisbergen came to NASCAR to learn. Good thing his Kaulig Racing teammate Josh Williams i...

The first ten weeks of the season have not gone the way that many expected it to go for Kyle Busch, especially the driver himself. Kevin Harvick has noticed the two-time NASCAR champion hasn’t performed up to snuff lately. Ever since his rookie season in the Cup Series, Kyle Busch has had at least one win each season. 19 seasons of winning. He hasn’t known a winless season from 2005-2023. At this point in the year last season, he already had two wins. In fact, if Busch doesn’t win at Dover this weekend, it would put this season among his worst. 2005, 2006, and 2020 are the only seasons in Busc...

The NASCAR All-Star Race is set to debut a new tire that teams will have the opportunity to use. Elton Sawyer seems excited about it. Ever since the Bristol race that saw severe tire falloff, drivers and fans have wanted NASCAR to revisit tires to try and fix the short track package. NASCAR has already made it clear to teams in meetings – horsepower increases will not be happening. It isn’t even on their radar. With all of the potential aero changes having been made, tires are next up on the list. The NASCAR All-Star Race will feature two tire compounds from Goodyear. First, the prime tire whi...

The throwback paint schemes are rolling out ahead of the Goodyear 400 at Darlington and Kyle Larson may have the best one already. Larson is set to pilot a Terry Labonte tribute scheme based on the iconic No. 5 Kellogg’s car that graced NASCAR tracks for so long. Terry Labonte is one of the legends of NASCAR. With 22 wins, two Cup Series championships, a pair of IROC championships, and a host of other accomplishments, Labonte has been there and done that when it comes to racing. One of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers of all time, it is fitting that Labonte gets this honor. Kyle Larson was able to...

The NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday for the Wurth 400, and betting lines for the entire field to win have been released. Last season, Martin Truex Jr. captured the win at his home track, following a rainout on Sunday, he dominated and won the race on Monday afternoon. The No. 19 still hasn’t been to victory lane in 2024, although he’s been close, so he’s certainly a name to keep an eye on this weekend. It should be a fascinating race regardless, with some big names looking for their first win of the season, coinciding with a trip to a track where it should be a wi...

NASCAR is looking to improve its short track racing package and is using this year’s All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway to experiment with new tires developed by Goodyear. The new tire, which NASCAR hopes will have more wear than Goodyear’s current slick tires, uses rubber typically used for rain tires. Greg Stucker, Goodyear’s director of racing, said the new tire showed “significantly more lap-time fall-off” during a recent test at North Wilkesboro. “At our North Wilkesboro test, there was significantly more lap-time fall-off with what has become the option tire than we had with the ...
