[ad_1] The big crashes Sunday at Michigan played a little havoc with the power rankings, trying to take into consideration those running well who got caught up in an incident no fault of their own. There’s one thing for sure — if anyone thought putting Denny Hamlin at No. 1 was questionable, they’re likely not questioning it after his back-to-back victories at Nashville and Michigan. Here are my power rankings
[ad_1] Admittedly, Denny Hamlin has not executed the best on restarts this season, so winning Sunday in a race that was a nail-biter down the stretch certainly made for a satisfying night. Hamlin led 57 of the 115 laps of the final stage at Nashville Superspeedway but stole the win from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell after a late caution set up a four-lap dash to the finish. "We
[ad_1] Richard Childress had imagined Saturday being a happy day, one where he would announce that Kyle Busch would remain with his organization in 2027 and highlight how recent improvements made them optimistic for their future. Instead, Childress, much like many in the NASCAR industry, was still reeling from Busch dying suddenly on May 21 from complications of pneumonia. Childress, who won six Cup titles with Dale Earnhardt and guided
[ad_1] Last weekend's race at Nashville came down to an exciting four-lap finish and Denny Hamlin took the checkered flag after closing as the favorite. Now the NASCAR Cup Series heads to the 2-mile Michigan Speedway for 400 miles. It's also one of the fastest tracks on the circuit. Can Hamlin — who's currently favored — get back into Victory Lane for the second week in a row, or will
[ad_1] Thanks to a rain delay and an already late start, the NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway didn’t end until well past midnight on the East Coast. Is that a problem? A little bit on a Sunday night. Night races can be electric, and sometimes for programming and scheduling purposes, the best time for a race. In Nashville, the later start meant a better chance to beat the
[ad_1] Two current Cup drivers hold the keys to the NASCAR silly season. And one isn’t even in a contract year. Alex Bowman (Hendrick Motorsports) is the most high-profile driver who is not signed for next year. Whether he continues at Hendrick Motorsports could determine how silly season evolves. The other driver who is key is Connor Zilisch, who is signed through next season. He's one of the most heralded
[ad_1] There is a new No. 1 on this list. Denny Hamlin earned his second victory of the season by capturing the win Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway. And while that is no match for Tyler Reddick’s five wins this year, the fact that he is riding the momentum of three top-three finishes in the last four races puts him atop the power rankings. Here are my power rankings as the
[ad_1] Here's what's happening this week Inside The Garage: DETROIT — Josef Newgarden had this look of pain on his face. But this wasn’t from his foot. It was for the award he was about to receive for the driver who gained the most positions during the race. For Newgarden, that’s just a reminder that he qualified poorly. In some races, it would also be a little bit of a
[ad_1] Kevin Harvick recalled a time in the 2010s when young NASCAR drivers with aspirations of the Truck Series and beyond had to make a decision. Compete for Chevrolet and Kevin Harvick Incorporated, or drive with Toyota and Kyle Busch Motorsports. There was no playing both sides. Drivers had to choose a direction. Fans in the grandstands picked a side and were distinctly divided. "You had to pick a path,"
