NASCAR will make it's second-ever stop to Austin and Circuit of the Americas with the NASCAR EchoPark Automotive Cup Grand Prix featuring events from Friday, March 25 through Sunday, March 27. Events at COTA will include racing in all three of its major series, non-race entertainment and multiple driver appearances. Last Sunday, William Byron took…

I trust Larry McReynolds when he says the fuel window is coming up in 18 to 20 laps of a NASCAR Cup Series playoffs race or that a late two-tire stop is the best path to victory. However, he didn't climb out on the sturdiest of limbs with one of his predictions on New Year's Day. America's Crew Chief thinks there will be a first-time champion this…

With 19 different winners in 2022, you could say it was never easier to win a race in the NASCAR Cup Series. But actually, the opposite was true. Parity and competition meant every checkered flag was as hotly contested as an early November box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. It left playoff stalwarts like Ryan Blaney and Martin Truex winless…

The 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series season is underway, with two races in the books. We saw Austin Hill pull off a surprise victory at Daytona and Cup Series driver Cole Custer win at Auto Club. The sportsbooks have rolled out 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series odds despite being two races into the season. These will tell us which drivers to watch out for this…

It's new year, new team for Kyle Busch. His farewell tour from Joe Gibbs Racing, a team where he spent 15 seasons and racked up 56 of his 60 NASCAR Cup Series wins, is over and done with. It's on to his next chapter with Richard Childress Racing. Time for the Las Vegas native to prove that he has plenty of gas left in the tank, even at 37. Just how…

If your eyeballs did the around-the-world-360 every time NASCAR driver Ty Gibbs showed up for interviews holding a can of Monster Energy last season, then be prepared for many more orbits. Details are forthcoming, but a report on Thursday said the beverage company will play a significant role in sponsoring Gibbs' No. 54 Toyota in his first full Cup…

The moment that NASCAR fans have been waiting for is here. The Daytona 500 will take place on Sunday and bettors will certainly be intrigued by the first race of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series. Last year's Daytona 500 saw a shocking result, as 66-1 longshot Michael McDowell emerged from a final-lap wreck to earn the victory. It was his first win on the…

With one trip to the reconfigured Atlanta in the books, we know what to expect this weekend. And it's largely in line with what we thought the track would look like going in. This spring's NASCAR Cup Series race in Atlanta very much acted like the blend of a superspeedway and a 1.5-mile track. There was drafting and chaos, but equipment still…

The 65th running of the Daytona 500, the biggest race of the NASCAR season, is only about two months away! As we painstakingly await the arrival of this big race, we are lucky enough to have odds available for who will win the Super Bowl of NASCAR. Remember on a Superspeedway style track, more so than any other week, any driver in the field can win…

There will be many eyes on Kyle Busch in 2023. Ever since his transfer to Richard Childress Racing was announced, many speculations were afloat regarding Rowdy's sponsors for the upcoming season. Now, just a few days before the new year begins, Busch reposted a tweet, teasing the launch of his car for next season. Soon fans flooded his post…

It's anyone's race in this year's Daytona 500, but behind clear superspeedway MVP Denny Hamlin, the favorites might be nothing but fool's gold. Find out why we're approaching the top of the odds board with caution in our Daytona 500 picks and predictions. NASCAR is back in full force for 2022, with the legendary Daytona 500 running this weekend. As…

The NASCAR Cup Series moves to Talladega Superspeedway Sunday for the 2022 GEICO 500. The green flag is set to drop a little after 3 p.m. ET (FOX). Below we analyze the 2022 GEICO 500 odds and lines, with NASCAR picks and predictions.

Pre-season is the only time when drivers get to unwind and reset. Meanwhile, they also have to keep themselves mentally and physically strong and prepare for the upcoming season. With Kyle Busch moving to a new team and Chase Elliott finishing 2022 on a disappointing note, both drivers and respective fans will be looking forward to the new…

It's the end of December. I don't know if I should go back to the previous season or turn to the next one. How about both? Here are my attempts at a version of the awards for 2022 - with winner predictions for 2023. Best Pilot 2022: Joey Logan Logano was at his best when it mattered most - later in the season. He took everything he learned over the…

NASCAR is back on a road course this weekend in Wisconsin, at Road America in Elkhart Lake. Chase Elliott took the checkered flag last week and is the favorite here - is there any question who we're behind in our Kwik Trip 250 picks? After Chase Elliott stood atop the podium last weekend, NASCAR heads to Wisconsin this weekend for the Kwik Trip…

Below we analyze the 2022 Daytona 500 odds and lines, with NASCAR picks and predictions. Front Row Motorsports driver Michael McDowell, in the No. 34 Ford machine, is the defending Daytona 500…

Stewart-Haas Racing's big offseason move was replacing Cole Custer with Ryan Preece. Kevin Harvick was thinking bigger, pushing over the summer for the team to pursue Kyle Busch. We'll never know if Harvick's reasoning would have translated into success, but a reporter recently delved into the rationale, and it sounds plausible. Aric Almirola got…

The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season is still a little ways from the first green flag, however, it's fun to make some way too early predictions for the upcoming season right? We all know the Daytona 500 will have some fireworks, but how big of fireworks? Will it be a first career win, or maybe the first Daytona 500 for a veteran? Could we see a big…

Team Penske's Joey Logano continued his trend of qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship 4 in even years by winning Sunday afternoon's round of 8 opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Since the current elimination playoff format was introduced in 2014, Logano has only ever qualified for the winner-take-all final round in the even seasons,…

When the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season began, most pundits and prognosticators expected one of the more intriguing Sunoco Rookie of the Year battles in recent memory. After all, the three drivers in contention for top rookie honors - Austin Cindric, Harrison Burton, and Todd Gilliland - were all proven winners in either the NASCAR Xfinity Series or…

America's biggest form of motorsport, NASCAR, is very traditional. There's a staid way of doing things and, even if the unexpected occurs every now and then, the rule of thumb is that the powerhouse teams always win. What doesn't happen is a start-up operation arrives at its top level, bragging a co-owner who's a Grammy Award-winning megastar. It…

The NASCAR Cup Series' Silly Season front has been quiet as of late but that's mostly due to the abundance of rides already taken. However, the two-feeder series have been busy with a slew of announcements this week. On Thursday, Toyota solidified their plans for the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season with both Joe Gibbs Racing and Sam Hunt Racing…

Christopher Bell's win-and-advance performance this past weekend on the Charlotte Roval layout paid off nicely for bettors who backed the Joe Gibbs Racing driver at+1600 to reach Victory Lane. It also marked the second consecutive win for a title contender in these NASCAR playoffs, a trend that may well persist through the season's final four…

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Darlington Raceway Sunday for the 2022 Goodyear 400. The green flag is set to drop a little after 3:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below we analyze the 2022 Goodyear 400 odds and lines, with NASCAR picks and predictions.

The key moment in Chase Elliott's 2020 championship run came at Martinsville Speedway, where he led 236 laps to win on the short track and seize control of a title race he would ultimately claim the following week. Now, back at the historic Virginia layout in the penultimate race of the season, the favorite Elliott will try to do the same thing…

After a welcome week off, the NASCAR Xfinity Series ventures to Texas Motor Speedway for a Saturday race on the eve of the NASCAR All-Star Race. The SRS Distribution 250 is the 12th event of the season, and those who haven't won yet are starting to feel desperate. Saturday's race will be contested over 167 laps (250.5 miles), with stage breaks…

The Action Network specializes in providing sports betting insights/analytics and is a content partner with NASCAR. I've taken a very conservative approach to betting on Sunday's NASCAR Ally 400 (5 p.m. ET, NBC, NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM) at Nashville Superspeedway. In my mind, there are simply too many unknowns heading into today's race to get…

The Action Network specializes in providing sports betting insights/analytics and is a content partner with NASCAR. The second race of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series takes place today at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS). Unlike last weekend's Daytona 500, where longshots provide plenty of value, this weekend's race is all about the favorites. Let's take…

Last Wednesday, Kaulig Racing Fan Day solidified two more seats in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series driver lineup, as Kaulig Racing confirmed that Justin Haley is set to remain behind the wheel of the #31 Chevrolet and current Xfinity Series driver A.J. Allmendinger is set to go from part-time to full-time driver of the #16 Chevrolet. The lineup for next…

Kyle Busch's finishing positions in the three races that comprised the first round of the Cup Series Playoffs were less than impressive and not what we are used to seeing from the two-time champion. Oddsmakers, though, are looking beyond those results when pricing the No. 18 for Sunday's South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (7 p.m. ET on…

Chase Elliott is returning to the road-course drawing board this week as he drags a five-race winless drought on the track type into the Kwik Trip 250. And the NASCAR betting public is predicting Elliott and his Hendrick Motorsports crew will assemble a Next Gen masterpiece at Road America. Elliott is the defending champion at the 4.048-mile track…

With a 28-point cushion from the second- and third-place drivers - and a path of little resistance to the Championship 4 - Kyle Larson heads into the 2021 Cup Series Playoffs as the clear betting favorite to claim the title. But with Larson priced at less than 3/1 odds at all three of NASCAR's official betting partners, many gamblers will be…

NASCAR heads to Charlotte for the Bank of America ROVAL 400 on Sunday afternoon. This is after the race at Talladega, where Bubba Wallace held off Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano to win the rain-shortened YellaWood 500. The Charlotte race is the one that will eliminate four more drivers as we head towards the Round of 8. The Bank of America ROVAL…

The NASCAR Cup Series features the best stock car drivers in the world. It's tough for young drivers to step into the Cup Series and have success. However, we've seen multiple drivers buck that trend. Most of these great rookie seasons come from over 15 years ago. That's because drivers enter the Cup Series with less experience these days. In the…

In January, a subscriber to The Athletic named Al M. dropped his predictions into the comments section of our annual NASCAR preseason questions post. Even then, before we'd seen a car on the racetrack, Al seemed to sense this year was going to be a tough one for prognosticating. "Always appreciate being able to state my thoughts and then have them…

In the course of five seconds, Ross Chastain made a move that changed the course of NASCAR Cup Series history. If he becomes champion Sunday at Phoenix Raceway, we'll all point back to a Mario Kart-style move at Martinsville that seemed so outrageous, drivers openly wondered if it was even real. In football, there are Hail Marys. For this…

After a busy last couple of days in the NASCAR front in terms of driver announcements, what's now left? On Tuesday, it was revealed that the long-awaited news that Ty Gibbs would replace Kyle Busch with Joe Gibbs Racing on the Cup level has now been confirmed. However, he'll drive the No. 54 instead of the No. 18. On Wednesday morning, it was…

Kyle Busch spun twice in last week's NASCAR race at New Hampshire, finishing 12th and extending a five-week stretch without a top-10. So why is the Joe Gibbs Racing driver the betting on NASCAR odds favorite for Sunday's event at Pocono Raceway? That's because Busch has won four times at the triangular-shaped track, with all of those victories…

HOMESTEAD, Fla. - There wasn't much for Ryan Blaney to do other than take full responsibility for the kind of mistake that a driver simply cannot make with so much on the line. Compounding the frustration is that this was the second time in as many races that he did something to negatively impact his team's championship hopes. Now, with just a…

Welcome back to our weekly "NASCAR predictions!" column, where our resident experts, Jordan Bianchi and Jeff Gluck, help us narrow down what to expect, who might pull off a long shot victory, what it means when crew members are shuffled - and more. They even tell us what, exactly, a "road course" is, for the NASCAR beginners out there. Something…

For the first time this season, the NASCAR Cup Series' Next Gen car will take on a short, flat track in a points-paying race. The Next Gen car did race on a quarter-mile circuit at the L.A. Coliseum for the preseason Busch Light Clash. However, Sunday's Ruoff Mortgage 500 (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX) will be the first of these tracks with points on the…

The NASCAR Cup Series begins a three-week swing at short tracks on Sunday at Richmond Raceway. The 2022 season produced a handful of surprising winners through six races, including Ross Chastain picking up his first-career Cup Series win last week at the Circuit of the Americas. Sunday's race at Richmond could be where some of the established stars…

Both IndyCar and NASCAR have ended their seasons, NHRA wraps things up this weekend, and Formula 1 says adios to 2022 next weekend. But Autoweek and REVVED UP! will keep rolling throughout the offseason every week (well, we may skip a week or two around the holidays). So strap yourself in, put on your helmet and fire suit, and get your motor…

Joe Gibbs Racing completed the 2022 NASCAR season with many questions about the lineup situations for its Cup and Xfinity Series programs next year. Let's predict the organization's lineups for each series starting in 2023. The organization's lineup in the NASCAR Cup Series seems pretty set outside of one glaring hole left by Kyle Busch after he…

AVONDALE, AZ - We're now in the dawn of the NASCAR season. One chapter closed on Sunday in Phoenix and in 90 days, we'll be back in action in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the 2nd Busch Light Clash in So Cal. NASCAR has not only the longest season in all of sports, but as a result of that, the shortest offseason as well. With that said,…

In the end - as in the very end - there was little drama. It was Joey Logano, largely unbothere, cruising to the checkers with Ryan Blaney a couple of car-lengths back. That's practically a rout compared to some of this year's finishes. Joey led 60% of the 312 laps at Phoenix Raceway, including the last 30. In the wake of the previous week's…
