I write about motorsports for @TheAthletic.

Kaden Honeycutt sweeps the CARS Tour features at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

Fun little night of racing. Corey Heim was chasing Honeycutt down in the LMSC feature and ran out of time.

Chase is Team Saturday Night

[Steven Taranto @STaranto92]

Chase Elliott on why he advocated for more Saturday night races on RWTB:

"Honestly, those comments came directly from people that I know personally that either went to the race and weren't super thrilled about their Monday morning and probably won't do it again, or people that chose not to go because they had to go to work on Monday morning.

"It stemmed directly from fans of our sport, people that aren't just watching on TV. People that are spending their money to come support us at-track, in-person, in the stands. And that was why I said that, just because I have heard it directly."

Chase acknowledged that he understands TV's role in things, he feels there's room for a middle ground and thinks Saturday night races can help NASCAR take advantage of certain factors pertaining to television - Particularly in the summertime when baseball is the only thing going on and the FIFA World Cup is ending.

A very stacked slate tonight for the @CARSTour doubleheader has plenty of current and future #NASCAR talent on the grid from @NWBSpeedway

@duck_go_fast There was no news about Fontana there. He’s referring to NASCAR selling most of the Fontana property for more than $500 million (everything except for the frontstretch parcel that’s left).

Will Kentucky Speedway ever return to the NASCAR schedule? Here's what Speedway Motorsports COO Mike Burch said on the Gluckcast.

@jeff_gluck The view in Carson's rearview at the start may or may not be what he's hoping for lol

[Alan Cavanna @AlanCavanna]

Is a Cup ride a possibility for 2027?

“It is,” @LayneRiggs99 just told us on @SiriusXMNASCAR

“No news yet”

[Jeff Gluck @jeff_gluck]

No, doesn't sound like Speedway Motorsports is going to make Texas into another Atlanta.

COO Mike Burch:

The Toddfather will return to Front Row next season:

[Todd Gilliland @ToddGilliland_]

So back. Let’s keep building @Team_FRM

LeBron took his sunglasses off for the photo like Carl?

[Jordan Bianchi @Jordan_Bianchi]

A lot of factors contributed to North Wilkesboro hosting its first Cup Series points in 30 years, but the driving force behind it was @DaleJr. In an in-depth interview w/@TheAthletic, he discussed his role in North Wilkesboro's improbable comeback.

Oscar Piastri when asked today if he’ll be racing for McLaren in 2027: “Yes. I didn’t realise it was a point of contention, but yes.”

Piastri says he feels “very comfortable” despite McLaren’s recent links to Max Verstappen. Story for @TheAthletic ⬇️

Doing really well, getting this question a lot so I’ll answer here.

My nerves have started to reconnect and now I’m beginning to fully walk again. Lots of progress over last 3 weeks. Feels like 100% recovery will be possible.
