It was just a little over two months ago that Larson was anguishing over having to “race backup cars” as he wrecked his primary car in practice sessions on two consecutive race weekends, forcing him to start races from the rear of the field. At the same time he was in the midst of what turned out to be a 75-race winless streak in the Cup Series and trying to fight his way into the ...Keep reading View the full article

Kyle Larson is the latest example of how one win in NASCAR's playoff system can completely change the championship fortunes of a driver. View the full article

DiBenedetto gutted out a seventh-place performance Sunday at Dover (Del.) International Speedway, and all six drivers ahead of him in the final results are competing in the playoffs.

That ...Keep reading View the full article

Column: Kyle Larson finally poised to answer expectations in NASCAR View the full article

The signs are certainly there. Johnson and his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team showed plenty of speed this past weekend at Dover, where he has won a NASCAR record 11 times. He ended up finishing eighth, but it was his third consecutive top-10 finish, coming on the heels of a 10th at Richmond and ninth last weekend on the Charlotte Roval. “I felt like we had a shot (at the win).

Denny Hamlin blasted rival Joey Logano after he felt he was held up unnecessarily by the lapped Penske driver during the NASCAR Cup race at Dover View the full article

The first to encounter a problem was reigning series champion Joey Logano. Before the green flag even flew, Logano was forced down pit road with what appeared to be a broken axle. He returned to the race over 20 laps down and finished a disappointing 34th. “Something back there wasn’t doing what it was supposed to do, so we had to fix that and we were 20-something laps down from ...Keep readingView the full article

The lapped car – the No. 22 of Joey Logano – weighed on his mind far more than anything else, however. Hamlin started on the pole and dominated on his way to the Stage 1 win, definitely looking like he had the car to beat in the Drydene 400. He appeared well on his way to a victory in Stage 2 as well until Logano – who was running 24 laps off the pace due to a pre-race mechanical issue ...Keep reading View the full article

Using the lapped car of Joe Logano as a pick, Truex finally worked his way around Hamlin to take the lead on Lap 229 and held on for his sixth stage win of the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series season. Kyle Larson ended up second, Hamlin third, Kevin Harvick fourth and Jimmie Johnson fifth. During the break between Stages 1 and 2, all of the lead-lap cars elected to pit with Hamlin the first off pit ...Keep reading View the full article

Hamlin led 113 of the 120 laps in the segment and held off Martin Truex Jr. for the stage win. Kyle Larson was third, William Byron fourth and Kevin Harvick completed the top-five. Before the race was 10 laps old, both Joey Logano and Chase Elliott were knocked out of contention for the race win, and the later knocked out of the race completely. Just before the race got underway, Logano ...Keep reading View the full article
