"It looks like all the guys below the cut have to win, so we just have to go there and do that." 🤷‍♂️ It's an all-or-nothing weekend for William Byron at Martinsville, after two rough weekends where the No. 24 team didn't get the finish they deserved. www.si.com/onsi/racing-...

“I tell people with superspeedway racing, you’re playing chess with a rattlesnake. You gotta pick every move, and the next thing you know, you’re getting [bitten] in the ass.” Caesar Bacarella fought through a sinus infection to earn his first top-five: tobychristie.com/nascar/xfini...

#NASCAR... This weekend at Vegas, Ryan Preece returns to the site of his best-ever NASCAR Cup Series finish (earned this Spring), looking to collect his first victory with RFK Racing... and he'll do it with a new face in the No. 60 cheering squad. 👶 www.si.com/onsi/racing-...

#NASCAR... Despite one hell of a last-ditch effort, Ross Chastain couldn't avoid being eliminated from the #NASCARPlayoffs, an outcome derived from mistakes he made throughout Sunday's #BoAROVAL400. "It's terrible to get to this level and not perform." www.si.com/onsi/racing-...

#NASCAR... The NASCAR Xfinity Series garage isn't a new place for Andrew Patterson, who has worked with Jordan Anderson Racing since 2020. This weekend is different, though, as Patterson will be there making his series debut in the No. 32 Chevrolet. tobychristie.com/nascar/xfini...

#NASCAR... The #NASCARPlayoffs can take a toll on any driver, no matter their situation, but Tyler Reddick is racing with something extra on his mind. Reddick's son, Rookie, is currently in the cardiovascular ICU after "showing signs of heart failure". www.si.com/onsi/racing-...

#NASCAR... With a different crew chief and a first-lap stop-and-go penalty, Shane Van Gisbergen still managed to record a top-10 finish in Sunday's #HollywoodCasino400 at Kansas -- his first oval top-10 in the NASCAR Cup Series. www.si.com/onsi/racing-...

#NASCAR… In an interview with Racing America on SI, Layne Riggs says that he’s “planning on” returning to the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford F-150 in 2026, but would also like to branch out and run select NASCAR Cup or Xfinity Series events next season. tobychristie.com/nascar/truck...

#NASCAR... Corey Heim is ready to have a full-time NASCAR Cup Series ride... Saturday's Bass Pro Shops Night Race proved that. It likely won't happen in 2026, and that honestly sucks, because Heim versus Zilisch for rookie honors would feed families. www.si.com/onsi/racing-...

It's crunch time in the #NASCARPlayoffs! Saturday's #BassProShopsNightRace will be the first of three elimination races in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. Here's how each of the championship-eligible drivers has previously run at Bristol Motor Speedway.

#NASCAR… Sam Mayer and Sheldon Creed are ready to chase a championship in 2025, and they’ll do so with the full “wide-open” support of Ford Racing — despite a manufacturer change coming for Haas Factory Team in the off-season. tobychristie.com/nascar/xfini...

#NASCAR… After three years in Cup, Harrison Burton found himself standing on the doorstep of AM Racing, looking to rebuild his career. In one year, he’s done that… putting the No. 25 in the #NASCARPlayoffs and greatly raising his overall stock. www.si.com/onsi/racing-...

There’s no post scheduling on here, so in an effort to be able to leave my house, I uploaded all of the videos. 😂 words coming soon-ish

With Haas Factory Team switching to Chevrolet in 2026, is there any hesitancy or backing down of support in the Ford Racing camp? Sam Mayer says things remain "wide-open", while Sheldon Creed says they've probably had more sim time leading into the Playoffs.

"I feel like there's a world where we could be the third-fastest car in the Playoffs, behind the No. 7 [Justin Allgaier] and No. 88 [Connor Zilisch]." Nick Sanchez believes that he and Big Machine Racing have more "raw pace" this year than even their technical teammates at Richard Childress Racing.

#NASCAR... With the record-breaking campaign that Connor Zilisch is putting together in the Xfinity Series this season, are JR Motorsports teammates Sammy Smith and Carson Kvapil being overlooked as possible title threats? They weigh in:

Even after NASCAR suspended him -- which therefore cost him all his Playoff Points -- Austin Hill was adamant that an incident with Aric Almirola at Indy wasn't intentional. With his path to a title now much more difficult, over said incident, does Hill feel like he's been wronged in any way?

"I've been up front with AM Racing since the beginning, and they want this for me, too, is for me to, hopefully, one day get back to the Cup Series." Harrison Burton has brought AM Racing from P32 in Owner Points (2024) into the #NASCARPlayoffs, a rally that has certainly raised Burton's stock.

Harrison Burton is entered in this weekend's CARS Tour Pro Late Model event at South Boston Speedway, driving the No. 51 Ford for Rick Ware Racing. Burton, who kicks off the Xfinity Series Playoffs this weekend, is excited for the opportunity to race in front of his home crowd. #NASCAR

#NASCAR... Yes, Austin Dillon turned an eleventh-hour win into a NASCAR Playoff spot, but that doesn't mean he's a guaranteed first-round exit. In fact, Dillon believes that his Richard Childress Racing team is capable of making a strong run in the post-season: tobychristie.com/nascar/cup-s...

#NASCAR... This year, Shane van Gisbergen has had to get acclimated to racing on ovals, and thus, is flying dramatically under the radar as the #NASCARPlayoffs begin. "No one knows what we're going to do. If we go and perform, we can surprise some people." tobychristie.com/nascar/cup-s...

#NASCAR... Saturday at Daytona, less than a tenth of a second (0.091s) separated the top-five finishers in the #CokeZeroSugar400. Here's the story of how just a tenth, for any of the drivers that finished second through fifth, could have reinvigorated their seasons. www.si.com/onsi/racing-...

#NASCAR... Zachary Yager, a long-time pit crew member in NASCAR's National Series, has passed away at the age of 35. Yager, this season, had been serving as a jackman for RSS Racing's No. 39 in Xfinity and ThorSport Racing's No. 88 in the NASCAR Truck Series. tobychristie.com/nascar/cup-s...

#NASCAR... Cody Ware led a career-high 23 laps on Saturday at Daytona, but couldn't drive through the pack at the end, finishing in 20th-place. "I think as far as the race, and what we showed on track, it was the best we've ever done." tobychristie.com/nascar/cup-s...

#NASCAR... Connor Zilisch is less than two weeks removed from breaking his collarbone, but plans to start Friday's #Wawa250 at Daytona. Zilisch says he will "most likely" hand the reins to relief driver Parker Kligerman at the first caution. tobychristie.com/nascar/xfini...

#NASCAR... Connor Zilisch tells The CW that he will be qualifying the No. 88 WeatherTech Chevrolet (weather permitting) and then will likely hand the car to Parker Kligerman at the first caution.
