Garage 56 is the entry that the Automobile Club de l’Ouest sets aside for the “technology of tomorrow and beyond” of innovative machinery. The entry – a modified version of the Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 race car – is a collaboration between NASCAR, HMS, Chevrolet, IMSA, and Goodyear. Representatives from all four entities as

JGR will change the number of the car from 18 to 54 ahead of the 2023 season. The team said in statement that “JGR intends to utilise the No. 18 in the NASCAR Cup Series in future years.” JGR has used the No. 18 in every points-paying Cup race since JGRs entry into the sport

Gibbs’s track record in NASCAR national series competition is relatively short, but his success cannot be questioned. A week after experiencing perhaps the lowest point of his racing career so far, he was enjoying his best last Saturday when he won the Xfinity Series season finale race at Phoenix Raceway, and with it the series

Speaking after Logano scored his second Cup championship in five years, Wolfe – who himself had previously won the title with Brad Keselowski in 2012 – said their confidence multiplied in recent weeks, giving valuable momentum to be the fastest when it mattered in the series finale. Just as in 2018, when he won his

Logano’s win in the Phoenix Raceway season finale gave him a second series championship, after his 2018 success also with Penske. The 32-year-old’s success meant Team Penske now has three Cup Series titles, but its latest success was particularly sweet as it made Penske the first team owner to win the NASCAR and IndyCar championships in

Hours before the start of Sunday’s race, in which Bell was one of four drivers competing for the 2022 Cup series championship, he and his fellow JGR drivers were informed of the death of Coy Gibbs, father of 2022 Xfinity Series champion Ty Gibbs and son of team owner Joe Gibbs, at 49. The news

Chastain started deepest in the field (25th) among the four title contenders on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway but had made his way into the top 10 by the start of Stage 2. By the final laps of the race, his No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet was the fastest car on the track and was closing

In a team statement addressing his death, issued on the eve of the 2022 Cup Series championship race at Phoenix, JGR said: “It is with great sorrow that Joe Gibbs Racing confirms that Coy Gibbs (co-owner) went to be with the Lord in his sleep last night. The family appreciates all the thoughts and prayers and

Approaching the tense last laps of the finale, Alex Bowman, in his first race back after suffering a concussion, collided with Michael McDowell on the back straight on lap 268, which brought out the sixth caution of the race. All the lead-lap cars duly pitted, with Chase Briscoe first off pitroad. During the caution, a

The Team Penske Ford driver posted an average lap speed of 134.389mph to edge his team-mate Ryan Blaney (134.373 mph) for the top spot in Sunday’s title race. Logano’s fourth pole of the 2022 season will give him the edge as he seeks to beat Chase Elliott (Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet), Christopher Bell (Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota) and

The Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota driver has surprised many in how his wildly hot and cold playoff run ended in a shot at the championship. But, as impressive as he was inside the car, much of the credit should also go to the crew chief calling the shots. Adam Stevens brought Bell to pit road

Johnson, who won all of his Cup titles with Hendrick Motorsports, has focused on IndyCar racing and selected outings in the IMSA SportsCar Championship in the past two years since bringing his NASCAR career to a close in 2020. The 47-year-old announced in September that he would step back from full-time racing next year and

Speaking on media day ahead of the NASCAR finale in Phoenix this weekend, Trackhouse Racing’s Chastain said that watching the footage of him driving flat-out into the wall to gain the positions that he needed to make the championship four to fight for the title this weekend “didn’t feel like it was me in the

Raikkonen made his Cup Series debut in Trackhouse’s #91 entry at Watkins Glen earlier this year, creating a huge buzz as the former F1 star made his return to NASCAR after making previous starts in the lower-tier Xfinity and Truck series. The Finn ran has high as eighth position in the pitstop cycle until he

The third-year Cup driver at Joe Gibbs Racing had started the season getting caught up in a wreck in the Daytona 500 and a week later retired before half-distance at Fontana with an engine failure. After a 10th-place finish at Las Vegas – on a weekend where the Toyota driver did win the pole –

Chastain became an instant Cup Series cult hero when he deliberately drove his car flat-out into the Martinsville wall at the final turns, to ‘video game’ his way to the transfer spot that he required to challenge for the title at Phoenix this Sunday. His wall-riding exploit has since gone viral on social media, as

In an interview on Tuesday morning, on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio’s show “The Morning Drive,” NASCAR’s chief operating officer, Steve O’Donnell, made clear Chastain’s move was “within the rules.” Desperate to make up positions on the final lap of Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway, Chastain entered Turn 3 full-throttle and deliberately drove into the SAFER barrier

Part inspiration, part insanity. If you haven’t seen it already, Ross Chastain didn’t lift off, didn’t even brake for Turn 3 on the final lap of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup playoff race at Martinsville but instead kept his throttle foot nailed to the boards and actually changed up to fifth gear – traditionally never used at

As the final lap of 500 laps began on Sunday, Chastain was in dire straits, trailing Denny Hamlin by two points in the standings for the final spot in the Championship 4 and running 10th in the race. As Chastain entered Turn 3, he hit the gas pedal on his #1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet and
