Chase Elliott Suspended; Corey LaJoie To Replace Him At Gateway

This precedent was set […]

Chase Elliott Believes He’s Got A Good Shot To Win Coca-Cola 600

Despite missing six races due to injury this season, Chase Elliott hasn't really missed a step on the track.

Bubba Wallace Hoping For First-Ever Top 10 Finish At Charlotte

Bubba Wallace has already notched three top 5 finishes through the first 13 races of the 2023 season, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him grab another one in this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Seven-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Jimmie Johnson, will be making his third start of the 2023 season at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend for Legacy Motor Club.

Martin Truex Jr. Should Be Strong In All-Star Race

Thanks to his Daytona 500 victory in 2022, Austin Cindric is locked into the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro on Sunday night, but that doesn't mean he's going to be competitive.

Brad Keselowski Won't Be Surprised With Hiccups In All-Star Race

Chase Elliott Leads 26 Laps In All Star Heat Race, But Was He Really That Strong?

The short track package with the NextGen car has left a lot to be desired for NASCAR fans, and when it comes to the racing itself, track position is the most important factor when it comes to which cars are strongest. That was the case during Saturday night's Heat Races as well, especially for Chase […]
