The 42-year-old has five starts in the 24 Hours of Le Mans (all in GTE Pro), taking the class win once in 2016 and finishing on the podium on two other occasions.  He has also enjoyed plenty of success stateside, winning overall in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2011. He then claimed a class

Hamlin and NBA legend Michael Jordan co-own 23XI Racing, which fields Wallace’s #23 Toyota, so both also became first-time winning owners. When NASCAR called Monday’s rain-delayed Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway early for rain – again – Bubba Wallace was the leader. Although only 117 of the scheduled 188 laps were completed, the race had

It was also the first win for the 23XI team co-founded by NBA legend Michael Jordan and Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin for this season, while Wallace’s crew chief Bootie Barker scored the first win of his career after nearly 500 races atop the box. The 188-lap race was postponed from Sunday due to

Following earlier rain, officials got the track dry in time to fire engines at approximately 3:35pm ET, but as cars were taking pace laps, it began pouring with rain again. With no lights at Talladega Superspeedway, NASCAR would not be able to complete the race once the track was dried again and it was postponed

The 2021 season had been a breakout one for Bowman, after taking over the iconic No. 48 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports this season made famous by seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson and amassed a career-best three wins in the 26-race regular season. That allowed him to start the 16-driver playoffs as the sixth seed, just

The styling and composition of the Next Gen car’s new common Dallara-made chassis will better replicate the manufacturer identities of their showroom counterparts.

Sunday’s win means Hamlin progresses regardless of how he finishes in the next two races at Talladega and the Charlotte Roval. With the final stage going caution-free, the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota driver successfully navigated a round of green-flag pit stops and cycled back to the lead on lap 229 of 267. Hamlin’s team-mates Kyle

With Elliott a lap down but still upset over contact with Harvick earlier in the race, he repeatedly blocked Harvick – the race leader – from getting around him which allowed Larson to close in for a pass for the lead. Larson finally got around Harvick with three of 500 laps remaining, and after a

A series which just two years ago was overwhelmingly dominated by oval tracks – including 19 of 36 races held on tracks with 1-mile, 1.5-mile or 2-mile configurations – will in 2022 feature a far more diverse portfolio. Cup Series racing in 2022 will include competition on four superspeedways, six road courses, a dirt track,

The Clash at the Coliseum on 6 February will be a signature event as a part of the venue’s centennial celebration and marks the first time NASCAR’s prelude to the annual Daytona 500 will take place somewhere other than the Daytona International Speedway. The Coliseum’s traditional surface will be converted into a quarter-mile, asphalt short

Truex, who was penalised by NASCAR for jumping the start of the race and ended up last in the running order, grabbed control of the race in the final stage and never looked back. Truex emerged as the leader following a round of green flag pitstops on Lap 350 of 400 at Richmond Raceway and

Hamlin fought off a wild charge from Kyle Larson in Turns 3 and 4 and hung on to win Sunday night’s Southern 500 at Darlington – his first win of the year, which automatically advances him into the Round of 12 in the NASCAR playoff regardless of where he finishes in the next two races at
