NASCAR Cup

Michael McDowell will have a new home in 2025 after seven years at Front Row Motorsports.

On Sunday night, in a race that started more than three hours after its scheduled time because of rain, Kyle Larson erased the names of Craven and Johnson from the NASCAR Cup Series record book.

What is quickly becoming the best rivalry in NASCAR evidently has at least one willing participant.

After calling his shot and winning last Sunday’s Wurth 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover Motor Speedway, Denny Hamlin couldn’t ask for a better place for an encore than Kansas Speedway.

Erik Jones was cleared by doctors and approved to return by NASCAR on Thursday, but his Legacy Motor Club team will hold him out of this weekend's race at Kansas Speedway to allow him more time to recover from his crash at Talladega.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has signed a multiyear contract extension with JTG Daugherty Racing, which he took to victory lane in the Daytona 500 two years ago, to continue driving the No. 47 car in the NASCAR Cup Series.

It is a fitting description. “We’re in the groove right now,” Denny Hamlin said during his race winner’s press conference at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway on Sunday.

Denny Hamlin called his shot ahead of Dover, guaranteeing a win on his podcast, then followed through on his bold boast that would have made the Bambino proud and held off Kyle Larson down the stretch to park his Toyota in victory lane.

Going from the massive 2.66-mile Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway high banks to this week’s Monster Mile at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway’s high banks is a huge change of venue, but not of spirit.

Aptly nicknamed the Monster Mile, Dover Motor Speedway's one-mile concrete paved oval with high banks and narrow straightaways will be stop No. 11 for this weekend's NASCAR Cup Series race.
