For anyone who is drawn to the sight of fast cars and those who drive them, Saturday nights in the spring and summer mean nights spent watching racing at the local short track. In no place is this truer than Southern Virginia and the Carolinas, the very places where NASCAR racing came to be and where some of the most iconic short tracks in the…

The spotlight will be on one of the newest additions to the NASCAR Cup Series schedule on Sunday at the 2022 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

One great thing about gambling on NASCAR races, you know you'll get a good payday, because not since Jeff Gordon's dominance has it been relatively easy to pick a winner. Chase Elliott is the favorite on most boards entering Saturday night's Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona, and at+1000 most places, he's getting 10-to-1 odds - a $100 bet will win you…

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…

The NASCAR Cup Series took another turn last weekend when Pocono winner Denny Hamlin and second-place finisher Kyle Busch were disqualified for failing post-race inspections. It was the first time the winner of a Cup Series race had been disqualified since 1960. Chase Elliott never led a lap, but was deemed the official winner after finishing…

Five races have taken place during the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series schedule thus far, and five different drivers have captured checkered flags. The latest was William Byron, who registered his third career victory and first in 38 starts last weekend at Atlanta. The 2018 Cup Series Rookie of the Year will try to become the first repeat winner of the year…

Alex Bowman overcame a penalty and used a late surge to edge Denny Hamlin for the win at Richmond Raceway last spring. The Hendrick Motorsports driver will hope to repeat when he participates in the 2022 Toyota Owners 400 on Sunday. Bowman received a pit-road speeding penalty in last year's NASCAR Austin race and did not own the lead until after a…

There is only one more opportunity to bet on NASCAR for the next few months, as the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Championship will take place on Sunday at Phoenix. Chase Elliott, who won the fall race at this track in 2020, is one of four drivers in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Championship field who is still alive for the title. He is the 12-5 favorite to…

With just six races left in the Cup Series regular season, a number of NASCAR veterans are still searching for their first victories of the year. Entering the 2022 M&M's Fan Appreciation 400 on Sunday, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Ryan Blaney have yet to claim a checkered flag, though all are still in contention for the NASCAR Playoffs.…

Kevin Harvick has gone 46 NASCAR Cup Series starts without a victory since posting his career-best ninth of the 2020 season at Bristol.

Harvick will hope to reach…

Saturday's 2022 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona will mark the final regular season race of the year, as several drivers are still trying to punch their ticket to the playoffs.

It took until the eighth NASCAR Cup Series race before a repeat winner was crowned last year. The 2022 season has begun with similar parity, as four drivers have won the first four races, with Austin Cindric, reigning series champion Kyle Larson, Alex Bowman and Chase Briscoe capturing checkered flags. Each member of the quartet will be in action…

The 2022 NASCAR playoffs are starting to wind down, as this weekend's race at Martinsville will set the table for the season finale.

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,…

Last weekend's polarizing Bristol dirt race gave us one of the best finishes of this NASCAR season-well, unless you had+1600 Tyler Reddick or+1400 Chase Briscoe to win. There were scoring mix-ups, rain delays, front grilles so caked with Tennessee clay that a caution was needed to clean them off, and of course those last-lap spin-outs by Reddick…

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

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) - William Byron had a freight train in his rearview mirror. A sitting duck, it seemed. Fortunately for him, all those challengers started jostling against each other rather than working together to take down the leader. While Byron cruised to the checkered flag for the third victory of his NASCAR Cup career, one last…

The most unpredictable race of the NASCAR playoffs hasn't even started yet, and the drivers are already crowded into a pack. Indeed, the opening NASCAR odds for Sunday's event on the giant roulette wheel that is Talladega Superspeedway are bunched tightly together like cars in a draft: Six (six!) co-favorites at+1200, three more running right…

Buckle up, it's Talladega week. It's one of the four races each NASCAR season where you have your best chance of catching lightning and cashing in. They no longer use carburetor restrictor plates to sap horsepower at the two fastest tracks - Talladega and Daytona - but horses are still restrained and we continue calling them "plate races." Some…

Once upon a time, Ricky Craven predicted a change in NASCAR. He surmised that a day would come when drivers in NASCAR's national divisions would look back and remember when they used to crash into bare concrete walls on a weekly basis. Craven's prediction has long since come to pass; most of today's drivers in those series can't even look back and…

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…

The 2022 NASCAR Playoffs will continue on Saturday night when Bristol Motor Speedway hosts the Bass Pro Shops Night Race with the green flag scheduled to drop at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Two weeks ago, we suggested you look into Erik Jones, at+6000, for the Southern 500 at Darlington. He won. Last week, we practically begged you to strongly consider Bubba Wallace, at+2000, at Kansas. He won. And now we're headed to Bristol for the annual free-for-all, the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race, and frankly, it feels like one of those weeks…

The 24th race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series season will take the drivers to historic Darlington Raceway. There are still 4 playoff spots up for grabs as we approach the Playoffs. This will be the second race of the year at Darlington. Justin Allgaier was the winner back in early May, and since then, he has picked up 2 more wins and has the 4th…
