[ad_1] NASCAR has reinstated Daniel Dye, but Dye will no longer drive for Kaulig Racing. The 22-year-old Dye missed one truck race under an indefinite suspension before completing sensitivity training for comments he made on a livestream. He mocked the voice of INDYCAR driver David Malukas, made inferences about Malukas’ sexuality (inferences that apparently had no basis in fact) and raised his voice octaves in tone in a way of
[ad_1] Here's what's happening this week Inside The Garage: Alan Gustafson doesn’t need social media for his crew chief job, so he doesn’t spend time scrolling and looking at what people say about him. He knows he’s the crew chief for the sport’s most popular driver. And considering that the 2020 Cup champion had only three wins from 2023-25, Gustafson knows his fans wouldn’t be happy. Gustafson has worked as
[ad_1] Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin have had some notable Martinsville Speedway battles, but the one Sunday came down to pit strategy. Elliott got track position by pitting earlier than most in the final stage and having the lead when the caution came out with 88 laps remaining. He then outlasted Hamlin, who had dominated the first 300 laps of the race, for the victory. Back in 2017 at Martinsville,
[ad_1] When any driver dominates a racing series, there will be talk and there will be questions. What are they doing? And is what they are doing legal? The winning car is inspected after the race, so it would be mildly surprising if a sanctioning body continuously lets something go that they find — racing series love parity and love having multiple drivers win. They don’t want predictable races. That's
[ad_1] Charles R. Jonas Federal Building (Charlotte, N.C.) — Among the few things that Joe Gibbs Racing, Spire Motorsports and Chris Gabehart likely can agree to in their contentious litigation, is this statement from Spire co-owner Jeff Dickerson: "It is extraordinary for an organization in our business to hire a private investigator to follow around any employee, let alone a former employee," Dickerson said in a court filing. "In my
[ad_1] Dale Earnhardt Jr. is ingrained in NASCAR culture, wading into various waters around the sport, but is there something that he regrets not doing throughout his racing career? "[Not racing in an] INDYCAR [vehicle]," Earnhardt said in an interview on "SPEED with Harvick and Buxton" when asked about the biggest regret he has in his racing career regarding a missed opportunity. "I've had some chances to just run laps
[ad_1] Tyler Reddick left no doubt about who should be atop these rankings as he earned his fourth victory of the season Sunday at Darlington Raceway. The rest of the rankings? Those are tough, as only three other drivers have four top-10 finishes in the first six races. So it’s pretty subjective, and my social feeds would say they are pretty debatable. Here are my rankings after Darlington and heading
[ad_1] Darlington Raceway (Darlington, S.C.) — Tyler Reddick had to gut out a race-winning performance in a hot race car without some of the creature comforts because of an ailing electrical system that wouldn’t charge Sunday afternoon. When you have basketball icon Michael Jordan as your boss and watching you race, it is probably best not to complain and do everything you can to win. Reddick did that, as he
[ad_1] The NASCAR team co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan continued its strong 2026 start in the Cup Series, locking up the top two starting spots Saturday at Darlington Raceway. Daytona 500 winner Tyler Reddick, the first driver in NASCAR history to win the season’s first three races, qualified first for Sunday’s 400-mile race with a 169.152 mph lap on the 1.366-mile oval. The 23XI Racing driver captured his 13th
[ad_1] Denny Hamlin wasn’t the only driver making moves up in the rankings this week. He is the only one who moved up with a victory. Chase Elliott, Ty Gibbs and Chris Buescher all made moves thanks to solid runs at Las Vegas. Here are my rankings heading to one of the most difficult tracks on the circuit —Darlington Raceway. Dropped out: Shane van Gisbergen (Last Week: 7) On the verge: Chase
