Despite reaching 100 starts in the NASCAR Cup Series recently, Ty Gibbs remains winless at the top level of the sport. And sitting 27th in points, a top-five finish won't do much for his playoff hopes. So, despite earning a third-place finish at Michigan, he could only think about the win that slipped through his fingers. "Wish we could have got one," said Gibbs. "That was not the option with ...Keep readingView the full article

Dodge has an impressive history in NASCAR's top division, which includes five Daytona 500 wins between 1973 and 2008. The blue-chip brand has been around for a while, but its involvement in NASCAR has been sporadic. The manufacturer left for 16 years following the 1985 season, ending factory support. It made an exciting return in 2001, which lasted until the end of the 2012 season. They even ...Keep readingView the full article

The sanctioning body remains focused on getting at least four manufacturers back in the Cup Series, which hasn’t happened since 2012. While Dodge is certainly a possibility, especially following news of Ram's return to the Truck Series, NASCAR’s options are not limited. Speaking to a limited media availability that included Motorsport.com, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing ...Keep readingView the full article

Sebastien Ogier has reiterated that he has no plans to contest a full World Rally Championship season, after climbing to second in the standings following an ‘almost perfect’ run to victory in Sardinia. The eight-time world champion’s 7.9s win over Hyundai’s Ott Tanak added further gloss to a blistering start to a part-time campaign for Toyota, which stands at three wins and a ...Keep readingView the full article

NASCAR is one of the few forms of motorsport that do not celebrate the podium finishers after each race. In fact, it has never really happened in a points-paying event. NASCAR did utilize a small podium for the exhibition race held at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum for three years, but that's about it. But when the sport takes its top division to Mexico for the first time, they plan to utilize the ...Keep readingView the full article

Sebastien Ogier claimed a third win of the World Rally Championship season after surviving a final-stage mistake to conquer a demanding Rally Italy Sardinia. The part-time Toyota driver and co-driver Vincent Landais avoided the pitfalls of Sardinia’s 16 rough gravel stages to take an impressive win, as Toyota extended its 100% winning start to 2025. Ogier was locked in a tense battle ...Keep readingView the full article

Today’s project focuses on making important changes to a Vulcan build. Early in the process, the team found an issue with the gas tank that did not allow for proper coolant line clearance. To fix this, they chose to use a different tank that will fit better and allow the lines to run smoothly. After updating the tank plan, the team worked on mounting the seat and fender. They created sturdy brackets to make sure the seat and fender stay secure without using extra […] The post Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Bobber Build – Final Touches & Test Ride appeared first on Return of the Cafe Racers.

Inside the car, Ryan Blaney is an outspoken driver who often lets his rivals know when they've annoyed him. And as a veteran of over 350 Cup races with 14 wins (including last weekend at Nashville), he has plenty of thoughts regarding how he wants to be raced and how he chooses to race others. While this unwritten driver code of conduct varies throughout the field, Blaney helped create his with ...Keep readingView the full article

At Nashville, Carson Hocevar's runner-up finish was overshadowed by a run-in with Ricky Stenhouse Jr., where contact from Hocevar sent Stenhouse spinning into the outside wall. The wreck was race-ending and Stenhouse has now fallen below the playoff cut-off line as a result. Stenhouse indicated that payback was on the table immediately after the wreck, but things have since simmered down after ...Keep readingView the full article

Hyundai will push for victory at Rally Italy Sardinia and “accept the consequences” as the team aims to score its first win of the 2025 World Rally Championship campaign. The Korean marque came to Sardinia — a rally where it has only been defeated twice since 2016 — under pressure to end Toyota’s 100% winning start to the year. Hyundai’s Ott Tanak heads into Sunday’s final four ...Keep readingView the full article

Entering this race in the middle of a three-year winless streak, Canadian driver Stewart Friesen was not originally in the conversation to claim victory at Michigan International Speedway.

After a debris caution set up a five-lap dash to the checkered flag, Friesen was only running ...Keep readingView the full article
