Tyler Reddick is undoubtedly one of the most impressive drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series, having secured his fifth victory of the season on Sunday at Talladega. Tyler Reddick continues to dominate as the leading driver in the NASCAR Cup Series. And the gap is significant. He achieved his fifth win in nine races in the 2026 Cup Series, aided by a combination of strategic luck and a late surge in the AdventHealth 400, observed by 23XI co-owner Michael Jordan. Reddick overtook K

n two starts so far during the 2026 ARCA Menards Series season, Gio Ruggiero found Victory Lane in both. Ruggiero’s second win of the year proved to be slightly more difficult compared to his season-opening triumph at Daytona International Speedway. After fading during the final long green flag run, Ruggiero used two overtime restarts to cycle back to the front and emerge victorious Saturday in the Tide 150 at Kansas Speedway. Multiple factors motivated Ruggiero’s drive to th

The International Hot Rod Association delivered the kind of stock car racing action that fans have been asking for Saturday night. Tate Fogleman survived the chaos of 14 caution periods, and made a last-lap pass of Kade Brown to win a 125-lap Late Model Sportsman feature for the IHRA Stock Car Series at Cordele Motor Speedway. Fogleman, a winner of a 2021 NASCAR Truck Series race at Talladega, took home a $10,000 winner’s purse for conquering the 3/8-mile short track and a fi

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series made a stop at Kansas Speedway on Saturday night for the Kansas Lottery 300.

During the second lap, Carson Kvapil collided with William Byron at the exit of Turn 2, subsequently making contact with Parker Retzlaff. This resulted in Kvapil's car flipping multiple times before coming to rest on its roof. Safety crews promptly arrived to upright Kvapil's ve

Today’s question: In 10 of the last 12 years, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach winner was fourth or lower in points entering the event. Which driver outside of the top five in the current NTT INDYCAR SERIES standings do you think will win the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach this Sunday? Will Power Curt Cavin: This is a terrific question, and my inclination was to pick Josef Newgarden, who hasn’t had a top-five season though he’s fifth in the standings, thanks to his win at

Four-time Funny Car world champion Matt Hagan etched his name into NHRA history on Sunday, winning the 1,000th Funny Car race in the series’ history while doubling up with team owner Tony Stewart in Top Fuel.

Chase Elliott spun, triggering the eighth caution during Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, Ty Gibbs delivered a clear directive to crew chief Tyler Allen. "I do not want to relinquish track position—at all," Gibbs declared over the team radio. Allen agreed, and Gibbs resumed the race in the lead on Lap 486. He maintained this position through a ninth caution that extended the race to overtime, narrowly defeating Ryan Blaney by 0.055 seconds to secure his first

In two ARCA Menards Series East events this year, Tristan McKee has achieved Victory Lane twice. McKee's victory at Rockingham Speedway on Saturday was markedly different from his inaugural East Series win last weekend at Hickory Motor Speedway .
