By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service INDIANAPOLIS — Ty Majeski’s victory in Friday night’s TSport 200 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park wasn’t the sort of dominating performance he enjoyed last year—until the final stage of the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race. Majeski overcame a restart violation on Lap 50 that sent him to the rear of the field but rallied to defend his 2023 victory at the 0.686-mile short track. The driver of the No. 98 ThorSport Racing Ford earned his first victory of the season and the fourthRead More

By David Morgan, Associate Editor SPEEDWAY, Ind. – NASCAR is back on the oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and all seems right with the world again. After a three-year experiment of running the Indianapolis road course that combines part of the oval and part of the infield road course that winds through the 2.5-mile circuit, the decision was made that when NASCAR returned in 2024, it would be back on the oval. And just in time for the 30th anniversary of the inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994. Drivers got their firstRead More

By David Morgan, Associate Editor Alexander Rossi will have to watch Sunday’s Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto from the sidelines after a crash in practice on Friday left him with a broken right thumb. With approximately seven minutes remaining in Friday’s practice, Rossi’s No. 7 Arrow McLaren Honda looked to run wide in the right-hander at Turn 8 on the 11-turn, 1.786-mile street course, making contact with the tire barrier. Upon contact, the steering wheel snapped back around and Rossi was unable to get his hand out of the way inRead More

By INDYCAR TORONTO – Five Honda-powered drivers topped the overall time sheet in Friday’s first practice for the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto at Exhibition Place, although it likely doesn’t reflect the competitiveness of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES field at the final street race of the season. The final minutes of Friday’s practice saw two drivers – Alexander Rossi and rookie Linus Lundqvist – hit tire barriers on the 11-turn, 1.786-mile temporary street circuit, reducing the amount of time left for half of the field to complete a final timed lap.Read More

By David Morgan, Associate Editor SPEEDWAY, Ind. – NASCAR is back where it belongs on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval in preparation for Sunday’s running of the Brickyard 400. Friday was all about practice for both the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series, with both series getting a 50-minute session on-track to dial in their machines around the 2.5-mile circuit before their respective races over the next two days. Tyler Reddick came away as the fastest driver in Cup Series practice, setting the quick time of 49.293 seconds, 182.582 mph.Read More

By David Morgan, Associate Editor SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Back to the Brickyard. After a three-year stint on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, the NASCAR Cup Series is back where it belongs – on the 2.5-mile rectangular track that has made this race so special over the years. First joining the circuit in 1994, IMS has provided some classic moments and some that the powers that be would rather forget. The track’s relatively flat surface, combined with narrow corners and high speeds, makes passing a premium on the 2.5-mile circuit. ThoughRead More

By David Morgan, Associate Editor NEWTON, Iowa – When the green flag dropped on Sunday’s Hy-Vee One Step 250 at Iowa Speedway, the odds were long for Will Power starting deep in the field, but as we have learned time and time again, the Aussie is never one to be counted out. Starting from 22nd place and with track position at a premium, the driver of the No. 12 Team Penske Chevrolet shifted into strategy mode early, electing to save fuel to run longer in an effort to make up groundRead More

By David Morgan, Associate Editor NEWTON, Iowa – Sunday’s Hy-Vee One Step 250 was one lap shy of ending as a clean and clear affair, but on the final lap, chaos struck. Coming off Turn 2 on the final lap, Alexander Rossi was off the pace, apparently running out of fuel when Sting Ray Robb ran up on him at a high rate of speed, making contact and launching his No. 41 Chevrolet skyward. The car did a pirouette while in the air, coming down hard on the driver’s side, sendingRead More
