On one side, in last week’s episode of Actions Detrimental, Denny Hamlin argued that the parity brought in by the Next Gen car is exposing drivers. The point he drove home is simple: in the past, teams built their own cars and chased gains through parts that gave them an edge. Bigger outfits could stack […]
Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin’s feud has kept the pot on the boil with every other podcast episode here and there. Although from his side, Hamlin has waved the white flag, Busch appears to have taken deep offence to Hamlin’s comments about his slump and career. Now, even veterans, including Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kyle Petty, […]
NASCAR executive John Probst has recently sparked a big conversation with a proposal that could reshape the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and not everyone is ready to jump on that train. Among those pushing back is Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has made it clear he is not on board with the idea. During a […]
Kyle Busch finds himself in a rut, with a winless run that has crossed the 100-race mark. It was not always this way at Richard Childress Racing, though. When Busch joined the team in 2023, he hit the ground running, collecting three wins in the first half of the season at Auto Club Speedway, Talladega, […]
NASCAR heads to Talladega this weekend for the second superspeedway stop on the schedule.

But […]

A few months ago, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin shared the same space on Hamlin’s Actions Detrimental podcast, trading notes on the state of NASCAR. In that conversation, Hamlin went as far as to credit Busch for teaching him how to navigate intermediate tracks. Fast forward to the present, and the same platform has turned […]
Suspension, in stock car racing, is often more like a fall from grace on paper. In practice, it has at times turned into a reset, which is essentially taking one step back to take two forward. When a driver crosses the line with something said or done online or on or off track, both team […]
The YouTuber-turned-driver was earlier denied approval to compete at Talladega for the upcoming race weekend, but after showing pace in the ARCA Menards Series East with a top-five finish at Rockingham, NASCAR has opened the door again. He is now ready to return to action in May, stepping into the second tier of the sport. […]
Toyota’s climb to the top tier of stock car racing began after the manufacturer entered the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2004 with the Tundra, then stepped into the Cup Series in 2007 with the Camry, after announcing its intent in early 2006. That move marked the return of a foreign manufacturer to NASCAR’s premier […]
Tyler Reddick started the race from the pole for Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 and drove the No. 45 Toyota Camry to Victory Lane, sealing a fifth win of the season for himself and 23XI Racing.
