    Stunning Brad Keselowski news cements disappointing final verdict for RFK Racing (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Right when everyone was finally talking about the Cup Series championship battle instead of Carson Hocevar, the NASCAR Cup Series world woke up on Tuesday to a stunning bombshell. Brad Keselowski will not return to RFK Racing as either a driver or owner in 2027. The 42-year-old veteran and 2012 series champion has been brought up as a potential fit at Kaulig Racing, though this is nothing more than a rumor. Meanwhile, it's anybody's guess who takes over his now soon-to-be-vacant No. 6 car, if it

    Kyle Larson just did exactly what the NASCAR Cup field was hoping he couldn't (opens the original)

    After going winless for 51 NASCAR Cup Series races, Kyle Larson has now won for the second time in the last three. And in Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, he put on one of his vintage clinics by leading 235 of 267 laps and sweeping both stages. Larson had to outlast Chase Briscoe in a late duel, but he took the lead for good with seven laps to go and held off a hard-charging Austin Cindric. In the process, the Hendrick Motorsports star extended his championship points advantage

    There are seven races remaining in the NASCAR Cup Series Chase for the championship, and after the eventful Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway, four drivers have distanced themselves in the playoff point standings. Kyle Larson is the new leader. Denny Hamlin is one marker back, while Joey Logano has closed to within 16 and Christopher Bell lurks one point behind him. Everybody else has a significant mountain to climb if they're going to fight their way back into contention. And

    Kyle Larson is the new points leader, and no, we're not doing the "undeserving" thing (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    For the first time in 12 races, Denny Hamlin is not the points leader of the NASCAR Cup Series standings. Kyle Larson is, by exactly one marker with seven races remaining in the 2026 season. Of course, he has the Chase reset to thank for that. Under the season-long format, Larson is in sixth, 247 behind Hamlin while also trailing Ryan Blaney, Ty Gibbs, Tyler Reddick, and Christopher Bell. But that certainly doesn't mean he's had only the sixth-best season. Championship purists are surely already

    Ill-fated Bristol wreck puts Ryan Blaney's NASCAR title hopes on life support (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar stole all the headlines from Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway, after a late-race incident sent the former into the wall and escalated into punches thrown on pit road. But what no one is talking about are the ramifications it's going to have in the Cup Series championship. Blaney has been arguably the best driver in NASCAR this season. He's second in the season-long points, the only non-Toyota driver in the top five, and on Saturd
