In a tripleheader weekend that will decide the Championship 4 contenders in each of NASCAR’s top three national series, the marquee event is Sunday’s Xfinity 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway.
It wasn’t Friday the 13th. It was Sunday the 13th, but just like Jason Voorhees from the well-known horror franchise, Joey Logano is back—and ready to frighten seven other survivors in the Round of 8 of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.
As Sam Mayer celebrated his drama-filled victory in Saturday’s Drive for the Cure 250 Presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of NC at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course, Parker Kligerman watched a replay of the whisker-close circumstance that knocked him out of the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs.
It might seem strange, but Chase Briscoe asserts he’d rather be 32 points below the cut line for the next round of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs than 15.
In common sports parlance, the “hot corner” typically applies to third base on the baseball diamond.
William Byron, the only Playoff driver already locked into the Round of 8, thinks the course changes at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course may affect strategy in Sunday’s Bank of America Roval 400.
The NASCAR Cup Series left Kansas Speedway on Sunday night, and none of the remaining 12 Playoff drivers could draw much comfort from the Hollywood Casino 400 that had just ended.
Part-time NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Aric Almirola ran down Playoff leader Cole Custer in the closing laps of Saturday’s Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway and pulled away for his second victory of the season in the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
The pit crew servicing Chase Biscoe’s car this weekend won’t be the same group that helped propel him into the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs with an 11th-hour win at Darlington and subsequently into the Round of 12.
To say that the Charlotte Roval hasn’t been kind to Denny Hamlin is a bit of an understatement.
