23XI Racing’s Reddick led on the penultimate lap, but Brad Keselowski pushed Michael McDowell back out front and into the lead as the field went into Turns 1 and 2. Entering the tri-oval, McDowell blocked Keselowski in the outside lane and Keselowski charge to the inside. McDowell tried to block that move as well but

Elliott grabbed the lead for the time on a restart with eight of the scheduled 267 laps remaining, after Ricky Stenhouse Jr. wrecked off Turn 2 to bring out the 12th caution of the race, and fended off Denny Hamlin on a restart with two laps to go. Kyle Larson then hit the wall at
Supercars champion Kostecki has been absent from the grid so far this season, but announced on Monday that he will return to action with Erebus in Taupo. This comes after months of allegations of bullying within the team, something that Adderton, a long-time sponsor through Boost Mobile, had publicly called out while also criticising both
Byron was the first lead-lap car to make a green flag pitstop – uncharacteristic on the short track – in the middle of the final stage and when the cycle of stops was completed, he emerged as the leader for the first time in the race. Byron soon built a big advantage and appeared set
Truex Jr had looks comfortable what had been a very uneventful race – leading 228 of the 407 laps – until Kyle Larson got spun off by Bubba Wallace with one lap remaining which sent the race into overtime. All of the lead lap cars elected to pit for new tyres under the caution and
Bell, who advanced to the Championship 4 last season with a chance to win the series title at Phoenix, blew a brake rotor early in the race and never was in the fight. But this time around Joe Gibbs Racing driver Bell rallied to win Stage 2, then drove from 20th to first after the final pit
My first ideas for the top 10 female race and rally drivers of all time included entries from all over the world, maybe with one or two unsung heroines and some historical pioneers. However, looking at the cold, hard statistics of the best and fastest women of their day gave a different picture. Motorsport has
While Larson statistically dominated the race – winning both of the opening stages and leading 181 of 267 laps – the end of each stage came down to a one-on-one battle between Larson and Reddick. Larson led the way late in the final stage when a crash by Corey LaJoie brought out a caution and
Saturday’s 300-mile Xfinity Series race had been a mundane affair, featuring mostly single-file racing with drivers apparently unwilling to take risky moves for fear of losing track position. Numerous cars running out of fuel at the end set up a dramatic two-lap overtime and surprise winner, but that was hardly indicative of what much of the
Suarez, who had recovered from a multi-car accident on the second lap, lost the lead on a restart with five of 260 laps remaining, but was able to power to the outside lane on the final lap as Kyle Busch and Ryan Blaney raced side-by-side. Suarez made it three-wide coming off Turn 4 and the
Byron, who had never finished better than 21st in the NASCAR Cup season opener, grabbed the lead from Ross Chastain on a restart with four of 200 laps remaining. Byron had just taken the white flag – signalling the start of the final lap – when a multi-car wreck erupted behind him which forced NASCAR
Hendrick Motorsport driver Byron made a timely charge to the front of the field following the final round of green flag pit stops. After a massive late wreck, Byron bolted to the lead on a restart with four of the 200 laps remaining. Approaching the white flag to signal one lap remaining, Byron moved to
The Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet driver took the lead after the final set of green flag pitstops, and narrowly avoided a 23-car pileup in the closing laps. Daytona 500 glory was in sight, but the battle wasn’t over just yet. William Byron (Hendrick Chevrolet) took over at the front when racing resumed after a brief red flag
The three-time Supercars champion logged only three laps in the race before as he was one of more than two dozen cars caught up in multi-car wreck on lap four of 100. Gus Dean got loose after getting hit from behind and turned into Venturini Motorsports team-mate Toni Breidinger in Turns 1 and 2, which
In the second Duel of the evening, Hamlin had powered by to the lead with five of 60 laps to go, but Bell had made his way to second at the start of the final lap. As the duo entered Turns 3 and 4, Bell first dived low, then high to get around Hamlin and held
The 2024 NASCAR Cup season has begun in earnest. Following the non-points exhibition race at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum won by Denny Hamlin earlier this month, Joey Logano took pole for this weekend’s Daytona 500 season opener by leading a Ford front-row lockout in qualifying on Wednesday night. Thursday night’s twin 150-mile qualifying races
Team Penske’s Logano was the last of the 10-car final round to qualify and bolted to the top of the speed chart with an average lap speed of 181.947 mph to secure pole for Sunday’s race. Logano’s pole is the first for a Ford driver in the pole since Carl Edwards in 2012 and first in
Looking at his results at superspeedway races, that shouldn’t come as a surprise. Four of Blaney’s 10 Cup victories have come at Daytona or Talladega. In the Daytona 500, the Team Penske driver has two runner-up finishes and has been so close to capturing the chequered flag on several other occasions. “I feel like I’ve been close
NASCAR now has regular competing series in Canada, Europe, Mexico and most recently added one in Brazil. It has seen a growing number of international drivers compete in its American-based national series, both as regular competitors and part-time ventures. Never before in the modern era of NASCAR has it held a points-paying race of the
NASCAR: Full Speed is stock car racing’s answer to Formula 1’s Drive to Survive, which will debut its sixth season on Netflix next month.

The five-part series will have 45-minute episodes, featuring the following Cup drivers: Ryan
A new five-part documentary series looking behind the scenes of the 2023 NASCAR season is coming to Netflix. The streaming platform has announced the release of NASCAR: Full Speed following the increasing success of its Formula 1 documentary series Drive to Survive.

Yarborough was one of the best to ever get behind the wheel of a stock car. In 560 starts, he won 83 races and sits sixth on the all-time wins list. His many victories including four in the Daytona 500 and five in the Southern 500. Yarborough won his three Cup titles consecutively from 1976
Hendrick Motorsports’ 26-year-old upstart enjoyed a breakout Cup season in which he dominated in virtually every category but one – winning the series title. In his sixth full-time season, Byron took career-bests in victories (six), top-five finishes (15), top-10s (21) and laps led (1016). His season-high win tally came from successes on short tracks, intermediates,
The 29-year-old third-generation driver for Team Penske didn’t look like a Cup championship contender early in the season. But when it counted the most – in the playoffs – Ryan Blaney and his #12 Ford team were at their best. Critical playoff wins at Talladega and Martinsville advanced him to the Championship 4 at Phoenix
As is typical, Kyle Larson’s successful exploits in the NASCAR Cup were just part of his 2023 motorsport endeavours, which included winning appearances in the Xfinity and Truck Series. He also won numerous sprint car races, including in a series he owns – High Limit Sprint Car Racing – and announced his entry into the
Toyota unveiled a newly designed Camry XSE car that will make its debut in the 2024 NASCAR Cup season.

The new version will make its on-track debut on 4 February 2024, at the pre-season exhibition Clash race at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. “What a crazy year
Byron has more wins than any other driver in the NASCAR Cup Series this year, but narrowly escaped elimination as his 30-point buffer evaporated during the race. The Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet driver was mired in the midpack for most of the race and ended up finishing 13th, one lap down, but it proved was just enough
The Playoff round of eight concluded at Martinsville with an unusual 168-lap green flag run following a spin by Michael McDowell. Playing it safe, Team Penske Ford driver Blaney and several other lead-lap cars waited to make their final pit stop well within their fuel window while Almirola (Stewart-Haas Ford) and Chase Elliott were among those who
Bell and his #20 Joe Gibbs Racing team struggled for much of the race and at one point he was in danger of falling a lap down. However, a string of cautions in the final 60 of 267 laps knocked several playoff contenders out of the race and put Bell back in the hunt for
