With five races left in the regular season, I’m thinking about The Chase a lot. I’m wondering who is going to earn that top seed and the 100 extra points to start The Chase with. Coming in second puts you at a 25-point deficit before you’ve even run a race. […]
The 2025 North Wilkesboro Race Report is a picture of domination by Joe Logano. Logano led 323 of the race’s 450 laps to win the first points-paying race at the track in 30 years. Let’s see how he did it. […]
The 2026 Atlanta II race report questions whether Atlanta is still, well… Atlanta. All of the race hallmarks are very different from what we’ve seen before. […]
I know that rack-and-pinion steering seems an esoteric and niche topic. But Brad Keselowski doesn’t think so. After his crash at Michigan, Christopher Bell might not, either. Safety motivates much of the NASCAR race car’s […]

A lot of mastering this track is in the hands of the crew chief: setting up a car for three very different corners and the biggest element: strategy. […]

One might note he’s at a disadvantage this week because he was knocked out of last week’s race early. Another may be thankful he is (this week, at least) in the second practice/qualifying group. Drivers may even mention ‘the metric.’ […]
We all know how competitive siblings can be, which is why I chose to parse this as Dover v. Nashville. The two tracks are often called “sister tracks”, which raises an interesting question: Do drivers who run well at Dover also run well at Nashville? […]
Denny Hamlin won the first All-Star race run at Dover Motor Speedway. It wasn’t a points race, but there’s something to learn from every race. Here’s my opinion on the good, the bad and the ugly. […]
