Making his only scheduled start of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, Martin Truex Jr. entered Sunday’s Daytona 500 with one objective: win. Unfortunately for Truex, who retired from full-time driving at the end of 2024, his unfinished business in NASCAR’s most prestigious race remains just that — unfinished business. For the 21st time in […]
The day is finally here. It’s time for the Daytona 500 and the official start of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. After four consecutive days of on-track activities at Daytona International Speedway, a quartet of drivers stands tall above the rest as the group with the best opportunity to prevail in Sunday’s 67th installment […]
While forecasts have indicated that rain could put a damper on Sunday’s proceedings at Daytona International Speedway, wet weather isn’t always a nuisance. That’s especially true if you’re AJ Allmendinger, Chase Elliott or Joey Logano. These three drivers, all on this weekend’s Daytona 500 starting grid, have enjoyed stellar runs in soggy conditions in fairly […]
As a NASCAR Cup Series driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr. enjoyed some amazing moments at the Daytona 500 — a race he won twice. But on Thursday night at Daytona International Speedway, Earnhardt Jr. the team owner had perhaps just as much reason to celebrate.

When the green flag waves on Sunday’s Daytona 500, Joey Logano will be the only NASCAR Cup Series champion in the field with a Daytona 500 victory. Remarkably, the other five — and possibly six — champions will all be chasing their first Harley J. Earl Trophy. Before the engines fire in Central Florida to […]
Recent Daytona 500s past have produced multiple surprise winners. They include, most notably, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (2023), Austin Cindric (2022), Michael McDowell (2021) and Austin Dillon (2018). So, will another underdog come from seemingly out of nowhere to claim the 2025 edition of NASCAR’s biggest race? No one knows for sure, of course, but it’s […]
No matter how you slice it, Sunday night’s Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium was a major success for NASCAR. Not only did fans pack the stands and the sport’s most popular driver score a popular win, but the participants got to sleep in their own beds — which rarely happens over the lengthy […]
Sunday night’s Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium might not have produced the best racing in the world, but many people watching in the stands and from home couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. That’s because the night — and, really, the entire weekend — belonged to NASCAR’s most popular driver, Chase […]
The main event of Sunday night’s Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium was, by any objective measure, a bit of a snoozer. The preliminary 75-lap Last Chance Qualifier leading up to it was anything but boring, however. And for that, you can mostly thank Ty Gibbs. No, Gibbs didn’t win the Last Chance Qualifier, […]
