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 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. It's time for the second superspeedway race of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season, and it's always a free-for-all at…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Jimmie Johnson was targeting "Bucket list" races. Everything from the Indy 500, Rolex 24, Daytona 500, Coke 600, Le Mans, Chili Bowl, the NASCAR All-Star race, all of it. And notably, Johnson didn't appear to have any sort of priority list. After a year of learning the hard way that his calendar would be far too full for a self-described family man…

She's the big sister who's now the big boss. Kelley Earnhardt Miller sits at the top of the organizational pyramid of JR Motorsports, one of NASCAR's spotlighted operations. As chief executive officer of the web of companies owned or partially owned by retired driver and auto racing guru Dale Earnhardt Jr. , Kelley has her hands in virtually…

CONCORD, North Carolina - Taking the blame for a lack of consistent communication, NASCAR president Steve Phelps said the sanctioning body would begin meeting weekly with its field of 36 drivers. "As great as the Driver Advisory Council has been, nothing is as good as having an all-driver meeting," Phelps said Sunday during the NBC prerace show at…

Below we analyze the 2022 Wise Power 400 odds and lines, with NASCAR picks and predictions. The Cup Series returns to the California oval after 728 days due to the COVID-19…

Leave it to Talladega Superspeedway, of all places, to inject a dose of normalcy into these NASCAR Playoffs. The track known for unpredictability gave us the first race winner still eligible for the championship, and at+1200 Chase Elliott also carried the shortest odds of any playoff race winner so far. Hardly the craziness we expected, given the…

Silly Season is winding down as only a few remaining seats are still open for the 2023 season.

CONCORD, N.C. - The first racing book Justin Marks ever read was called "The Unfair Advantage," written during a one-year sabbatical by the late Mark Donohue about his boss Roger Penske. Marks grew up in admiration of Penske, Rick Hendrick and Joe Gibbs, the top owners in American motorsports. When he was 15, Marks got his picture taken with Gibbs…

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Darlington, South Carolina for a throwback weekend on Sunday. Let's dive in with our Goodyear 400 prop picks.

Just two NASCAR Cup Series regular-season races remain for drivers to punch their ticket to the playoffs. With 15 winners, that leaves only one spot available for drivers who haven't yet reached victory lane. Can any of them break through at Watkins Glen International? Whoever wins will likely be in your optimal daily fantasy NASCAR DraftKings…

Ross Chastain, the driver with a growing list of enemies, heads into the first elimination race of NASCAR's playoffs in a pretty comfortable position above the cutline. It's Kyle Busch, and Austin Dillon, Chase Briscoe and Kevin Harvick, who are trying to stave off elimination Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway. And yet Chastain can't relax,…

Saturday night has the potential to be bananas. The Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol is the first cutoff race of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. After Saturday, four drivers will be eliminated, ending their championship pursuit. The crazy thing about it? Only one of the 16 drivers has locked his spot in the next round, that being Christopher…

This was supposed to be the year of the Next Generation car and it has been a celebrated year indeed. We've seen a season of parity unlike any we've seen in probably at least a couple of decades, if not longer. We've seen drivers win races that in most other years might not have done so. On the flip side, we've seen drivers fail to win even once…
