Victor Mathews+FollowTricon Garage Out for 2026 Daytona 500?Looks like Tricon Garage, who made a splash last year with Martin Truex Jr. in the No. 56 Toyota, won’t be back for the 2026 Daytona 500. With Corey Heim set to run a fourth 23XI Racing entry instead, Tricon’s Cup Series cameo seems to be a one-off. The field’s still shaping up, but this is a big change for fans who loved seeing the Truck Series champs mix it up at Daytona! #Sports #Racing #NASCAR00Share
romankimberly+FollowDid NASCAR’s Old Rules Rob The King?Hardcore NASCAR fans, let’s talk about one of the wildest what-ifs in racing history. Back in ’73, The King—Richard Petty—looked set for his 8th Cup, but a bizarre points system based on miles completed flipped the script. Benny Parsons took the crown, even after a wreck, while Petty’s DNFs cost him big. Imagine winning 6 races and still losing the title! Was the old system fair, or did it cheat legends like Petty? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR40Share
Jason Smith+FollowDarlington Throwback Weekend in Jeopardy?Longtime NASCAR fans, it looks like the legendary Darlington throwback weekend could be on the chopping block for 2026. After last year’s lukewarm participation—only half the field rocked true retro schemes, and big teams like RCR and 23XI sat out—the event’s future is in doubt. Even Chase Elliott questioned if the nostalgia is wearing thin. Would losing this tradition change how you feel about the spring race at The Lady in Black? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR10Share
lisa79+FollowSmoke’s Daytona Return: Kaulig’s Power MoveCan you believe it? “Smoke” Tony Stewart is back in NASCAR, but not just for a nostalgia lap. Kaulig Racing boss Chris Rice cooked up a wild pitch—mixing Ram Trucks’ big comeback with a part-time, fun-first offer—that convinced the three-time champ to wheel a Ram at Daytona. This isn’t just a legend scratching an itch; it’s a strategic play that puts Kaulig and Ram on the map and shakes up the Truck Series opener. Thoughts on Stewart as the face of Ram’s return? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR40Share
Jason Smith+FollowRCR’s Power Play: Dillon Takes the WheelBig news out of the RCR camp—Richard Childress just handed the keys to the kingdom to his son-in-law, Mike Dillon. This isn’t just a family favor; it’s a calculated move to keep the legendary racing operation in the family while modernizing its leadership. Dillon’s deep ties to both the business and the drivers (he’s Austin and Ty’s dad) could be the secret sauce RCR needs to stay competitive as NASCAR gets more corporate. Will this bold succession shakeup pay off? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR00Share
Isabel Collier+FollowDale Jr. Slams NASCAR’s RAM “Free Pass” RuleAnyone else shaking their head at NASCAR’s new OEM provisional rule? It’s basically a participation trophy for RAM and Kaulig Racing in the Truck Series. Even Dale Jr. couldn’t hide his disappointment—his reaction said it all. Fans and drivers like Frankie Muniz are calling it out, saying you should earn your spot, not get handed one. Feels like NASCAR is playing favorites here, and it’s got the whole paddock buzzing. Thoughts? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR10Share

After NASCAR ditched the old playoff format, folks ran the numbers and—surprise—Kyle Larson still would’ve been champ in 2025. All that talk about him being too wild or inconsistent?
