By Luis Torres, Staff Writer Joey Logano’s 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season has been a rollercoaster ride with last Sunday’s Bank of America ROVAL 400 at Charlotte being the latest episode of the whirlwind saga for the No. 22 Team Penske group. When the checkered flag was waved, it appeared Logano had just seen his title aspirations go by the wayside after missing the Round of 8 by four points with Tyler Reddick taking the eighth and final transfer spot. An angry Logano rehashed the bitter memories of being taken outRead More

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer A day removed from Alex Bowman’s costly disqualification, Hendrick Motorsports announced they’ll not appeal NASCAR’s decision of penalizing the No. 48 team after the Bank of America ROVAL 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway had concluded. Therefore, the Round of 8 will go on without all four HMS entries continuing their fight for the NASCAR Cup Series championship. Instead, it’s down to Bowman’s teammate trio of Kyle Larson, William Byron, and Chase Elliott to bring a 15th championship to the organization. This news was a result ofRead More

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer NASCAR Xfinity Series regular Parker Retzlaff may have scored his first career top-10 finish in NASCAR’s premier division, but it’s his road to a seventh-place result that folks will be looking back fondly for years to come. During Saturday’s chaotic Coke Zero Sugar 400, the 21-year-old driver from Rhinelander, Wisconsin escaped all the big wrecks and blow overs to put himself in excellent position of bringing Beard Motorsports’ No. 62 team home with a strong result. “It was just really aggressive. Everyone was pushing as hardRead More

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer Congratulations, nobody won Sunday’s Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway. Austin Dillon might be declared the official race winner, but when the dust settles, it’ll go down as one of the more hollow and crass finishes of all-time. Worsened by the fact there’s evidence that dire ordeals like the need to wreck a driver are essential to saving an otherwise miserable season. Worsened by the fact that lives were endangered once again this season when you mix a damaged car and a defeated man seeking forRead More

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer An All-Star sized drama escalated very early in the 40th NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway, leaving one driver heated and starting a fight on a full moon Sunday night. On the opening lap of the 200-lap main feature, Kyle Busch was already racing hard to get by both Michael McDowell and Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. for 10th position. However, Busch saw himself being squeezed by Stenhouse and brushed the backstretch wall as a result. Busch was irate over the contact from Stenhouse and made itRead More

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer Both Ty Gibbs and Josh Berry made the most out of an unfortunate situation up front and crossed the line second and third respectively in Sunday’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. In the closing laps, Gibbs thrusted his way to second after both Tyler Reddick and Chris Buescher’s intense battle for the lead went south after rubbing fenders in Turn 3. Both frustrated racers saw their day go south when their tires went flat and forced to make an unscheduled pit stop. From there, Gibbs wasRead More

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer A normal race weekend for Kyle Busch have been hard to come by throughout the NASCAR Cup Series season. Sunday’s WÜRTH 400 at Dover Motor Speedway was one of the more stronger all-around weekends Busch has had in quite some time, finishing fourth after starting from pole. Earlier on, Busch led the 37-car field to green and held onto the top spot for the first 33 laps. Busch would lose the race lead to Ryan Blaney and would only lead a single lap the rest ofRead More

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin has had their share of heated battles in the NASCAR Cup Series. More often than not, it ends with fender rubbing, consequential outcomes and angered spirits. This time around at Dover Motor Speedway, it wasn’t the case as Larson did everything to hunt down Hamlin and came up short of winning Sunday’s WÜRTH 400. A tale old as time, dirty air made Larson’s bid for a second Cup victory of 2024 difficult. No matter how many lanes he chose around theRead More

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer In racing, sometimes luck is on a driver’s side while others end up drawing the shortest straw. Some handled the drawing better than others as frustration loomed several contenders who either felt robbed out of a win or unable to capitalize in moments when it mattered most. For Joey Logano, he ended up among several contenders who drew such straw as he finished second behind race winner Denny Hamlin in Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway. A much needed result as it marked his firstRead More
