NASCAR Cup Series drivers Kyle Larson and Chris Buescher again finished 1-2 at Kansas Speedway. Unlike last year’s finish when Larson edged Buescher by 0.001 seconds in the closest finish in circuit history. On Saturday, the results weren’t nearly as significant, but the No. 5 Chevrolet edged the No. 16 Ford during Saturday’s qualifying session […]

McAnally-Hilgemann Racing teammate Daniel Hemric will start on the outside of the front row, followed by Jack Garcia and points leader Corey Heim on […]
Fourth-year NASCAR Cup Series driver Zane Smith needed a boost. In nine events this season, Smith, who has not won a national series race since 2023, has yet to a top-five finish. Perhaps, Saturday’s qualifying effort at Talladega Superspeedway will give the 2022 Truck Series champion a jolt of confidence. Smith clocked a qualifying […]

The qualifying […]
