There are 10,000 craft breweries in Charlotte and none of them have a beer called "Ale Earnhardt"

Behind Kyle Larson & Hendrick Motorsports stand three teams with a chance to claim the 2026 championship: Joe Gibbs Racing, Team Penske & 23XI Racing.
@DustinAlbino, @zack_albert, @Pat_DeCola, @therichreport & I debate who comes out on top.

Ricky Bobby never made a NASCAR start.
He never earned a Busch Light Pole Award, scored a stage point or made The Chase.
He might as well have.
Looking back on 'Talladega Nights' at 20 — and why the ballad is still sung, two decades later.

After Phoenix, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick find themselves in the championship conversation with three races to go.
They are also three of the best in the draft.
The window is cracked. Can they take advantage at Talladega?

Tyler Reddick is a Cup Series race winner for the first time since April.
Does 2026's most prolific victor have enough time for a buzzer-beater championship run, though?

To start the O'Reilly Series Chase, the top four drivers were separated by 40 points.
More than halfway through the postseason, the top four are now separated by just 15.
How The Chase has tightened through five races ⬇️

The Chase has not gone as expected for Denny Hamlin & his team. So what stands between him and his first postseason win of 2026?

An oasis awaits?
Why back-to-back Phoenix winner Ryan Blaney could find his Chase oasis out in the Phoenix desert this weekend and open this thing back up a bit before Kyle Larson runs away with it.

"This is not the end of Kyle’s story."
Samantha Busch, her family and the @NASCAR world gathered for a beautiful tribute to the late Kyle Busch on Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway that embodied the legacy Rowdy left behind.
Inside the celebration of Kyle's life, which was capped by Brexton Busch's perfect tribute to his father:

Brad Keselowski's departure from RFK Racing creates the latest ripple in #NASCAR's free agency.
But in a high-stakes game of musical chairs, the song's about over & no seats appear available. What's next for the future Hall of Famer?

There's still plenty to shake out, but it's shaping up to be a two-driver battle atop the Chase standings between Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin.
... but Christopher Bell may be about to join them and enter that elite tier above the rest of the postseason field.

Chase Briscoe was battling for the win at Kansas but dropped to fourth after bouncing off the wall. The No. 19 team wasn't certain why Briscoe faded so quickly.
"Got in the wall a few too many times there and it kind of fell apart like a $2 watch."

Mike Skarbowski began his week in a meeting with Brad Keselowski and was informed he would be his crew chief moving forward.
"I just get the thrill of going to battle with a group of people – a team – and being competitive and competing for wins."

Kansas Speedway has been (contribution to the NASCAR Swear Jar)-ing insane the past handful of years.
For the title contenders in the back half of The Chase presented by Mobil 1, "Krazy Kansas" may be wild — but with chaos comes opportunity.

Joey Logano did Joey Logano things at Bristol and somehow walked out of there with the trophy after quite a night.
Now he’s 16 points off the championship lead, and this Chase may still just be getting started.
