Edwards shocked the NASCAR world when he quit aged 37 following a 2016 season in which he came close to winning an elusive first Cup series title.

William Byron came away with an unexpected victory on Darlington on Sunday after Chastain and Larson clashed at the final restart, with Chastain’s tactics once again dominating conversation after the race.

Larson emerged late in the race with the lead following the final round of green-flag pit stops, but a caution for a spin by series returnee Ryan Newman left Larson and Chastain to battle side-by-side on the restart with 13 laps to go.

With just under 25 of 267 laps remaining in Sunday’s NASCAR contest, Hamlin worked his way around William Byron and set his sights on leader Larson. With five laps to go, Hamlin got side-by-side with Larson for the lead but was forced to back off. On the final lap, Hamlin again got near Larson off

The 45-year-old winner of the 2008 Daytona 500 retired at the end of the 2021 campaign after 20 full seasons in Cup.

After his younger brother, Ryan Truex, earned his first Xfinity Series win Saturday at Dover, Martin was first off pit road during a late-race caution thanks to a two-tyre stop.

Wallace was leading at the start of the final lap of overtime Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, when Ryan Blaney’s Penske Ford got a strong run entering Turn 1 and attempted to pass. Blaney went low and high and was blocked both times by Wallace’s 23XI Toyota. On the third block attempt, Blaney had seen enough and

Wallace’s 23XI Toyota led the way on the start of the final lap in second overtime, but Blaney was closing fast to challenge for the lead.  Wallace moved high, then low to block and finally on the third attempt got hit by Blaney to trigger a multi-car wreck that ended the race under caution. Busch, who

Passing was at a premium in Sunday’s race and Larson struggled to run mid-pack most of the day, but he moved into the top-five by staying out when most others pit for a caution on Lap 305 of 400. While under another caution on Lap 343, Larson pit but took on only two new tyres

Ware missed Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Bristol with a statement from his Rick Ware Racing squad saying it was “to focus on a personal matter”.  The 27-year-old was arrested on 10 April and charged with felony assault by strangulation – inflict serious injury, as well as misdemeanour assault on a female. Ware has nearly

Bell, who inherited the lead by staying out between Stages 2 and 3, led the final 100 laps but had to ward off repeated challenges, with the last coming from Reddick in the final five laps. Reddick, who won Stage 2, pitted for new tyres during the break and put them to good use to

NASCAR took William Byron’s #24 and Alex Bowman’s #48 cars back to the R&D Centre after the Richmond round for what it called “further inspection”. The teams were found to have made illegal modifications to the greenhouse of both cars. The #24 and #48 teams have each been docked 60 driver and owner points, as

NASCAR fined Hamlin $50,000 and docked him 25 points for intentionally crashing into Ross Chastain and sending him into a wall at the end of the Cup race at Phoenix on 12 March. Hamlin wasn’t initially penalised at the time, but was given the penalty after he admitted on his podcast the next day that

In a statement with its decision, the three-member panel said the team did violate NASCAR rules and upheld much of the harsh penalties issued to the team, including the $100,000 fine and four-race suspension for crew chief Trent Owens and the loss of 10 playoff points. The panel did, however, reduce the 100 owner and

The fight for victory sparked into life after Noah Gragson slammed the outside wall, forcing the sixth caution of the race, which saw all the lead-lap cars pit with Martin Truex Jr retaining the lead off pitroad.

Project 91’s stated intention is to field “world-class drivers from other disciplines to compete at NASCAR’s highest level”. After fielding Raikkonen at Watkins Glen last year, Marks said he’d increase the programme to “six to eight” Cup races in 2023, while retaining its focus on road courses. Raikkonen also finished 29th place at the NASCAR

The final 10 laps of the Cup event won by Tyler Reddick took almost an hour to complete, with a trio of overtime restarts required following a series of Turn 1 multi-car pileups after restarts, which resulted in car and tyre damage causing cautions for debris. In total, there were five restarts in the final

At least Kimi Raikkonen had faced the NASCAR Cup experience once before, arriving at the Circuit of the Americas having been booted out of last year’s race at Watkins Glen and into the tyrewall, so at least he knew what he could expect. Fellow F1 world champion Jenson Button joined him at COTA, and they

Suarez was running in the top-five and in contention for the win as the race went into the first of three two-lap overtimes, but got shoved off the course and into Martin Truex Jr. heading up the hill to Turn 1.

The 2009 Formula 1 world champion was making the first of three planned outings in the Cup Series this year in a Rick Ware Racing Ford, as he gears up to a return to the Le Mans 24 Hours with Hendrick Motorsport’s Garage 56 NASCAR programme. Button finished 18th as the best of the road
