By David Morgan, NASCAR Editor With their primary driver suspended for the foreseeable future, GMS Racing has had to turn to others in the NASCAR garage to substitute drive their No. 23 entry in the NASCAR Xfinity Series until Spencer Gallagher is able to return.

By David Morgan, NASCAR Editor Over the past year, Conor Daly has been all over the map from his duties in the Verizon IndyCar Series to running in the 30th season of The Amazing Race. Now he will try his hand at driving a stock car as it was announced on Friday that he will team up with Roush-Fenway Racing and Lilly Diabetes to drive the team’s No. 6 entry in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Road America on August 25. “I’m a racing driver, and growing up, whenRead More

By David Morgan, NASCAR Editor It’s penalty day again in the world of NASCAR and Wednesday was a doozy, with the sanctioning body handing down a wide range of penalties to teams across all three national series. The first teams to be hit by the NASCAR penalty hammer were those of Clint Bowyer, Daniel Suarez, and Austin Dillon. Bowyer and Suarez, who finished second and third in Sunday’s AAA 400 Drive for Autism, were found to have violated rules surrounding the rear window of their respective cars. Bowyer’s car didRead More

By Matt Tifft, Driver Columnist Editor’s note: Matt Tifft, driver of the No. 2 Chevrolet Camaro for Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, shares his 2018 campaign with Motorsports Tribune as he aims for a shot at the championship.  As a driver, Dover International Speedway is a place that’s always circled on my calendar. It’s one of my favorite tracks we visit, and one I’ve always seemed to do well at in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Dover is just so different from anywhere else we go to on the schedule.Read More

By David Morgan, NASCAR Editor Over the past month, there’s been something different about the NASCAR Xfinity Series – no Cup Series drivers in the field. Has anyone truly missed them? Because I sure haven’t. Without the Cup drivers in the field, we’ve truly gotten to see the Xfinity Series reaching toward its true potential on track. No longer did we see a Cup driver easily taking the win, streaking across the finish line seconds ahead of the nearest Xfinity Series regular. Instead, those that call the Xfinity Series homeRead More

By Seth Eggert, Staff Writer After an up-and-down day, Christopher Bell managed to finish the OneMain Financial 200 on a high note. Bell’s fight to finish up front at Dover International Speedway spanned the entirety of the 200-mile race. On the final run to the finish, Bell’s No. 20 Rheem / Comcast Salute to Service Toyota Camry was inside the top-10.

By: NASCAR Wire Service DOVER, Del. – Justin Allgaier survived a breathtaking last-gasp effort from JR Motorsports teammate Elliott Sadler to win Saturday’s OneMain Financial 200 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Dover International Speedway. Allgaier led Sadler by less than a car-length as the drivers entered Turn 3 on the final circuit. Ahead of Allgaier, the lapped car of Joe Nemechek entered the corner low and drifted up the track, forcing Allgair to brake and run the middle lane at the cost of considerable momentum. Sadler saw the opening andRead More

By Luis Torres, Staff Writer It has been a monstrous week for GMS Racing’s Xfinity Series program. The single-car operation went from climbing on top of the world after Spencer Gallagher captured his maiden win at Talladega Superspeedway last Saturday, to rock bottom Wednesday when NASCAR indefinitely suspended Gallagher for violating the sport’s Substance Abuse Policy. While a playoff berth has been snatched away, the team will soldier on at Dover International Speedway with their Camping World Truck Series driver and points leader Johnny Sauter strapping in the No. 23 AllegiantRead More
