I’m not dreaming. That actually happened. #DAYTONA500 champions. Thanks to @austindillon3 & the entire @RCRracing organization for the experience. Work hard, kids. Don’t take no for an answer, chase your damn dreams & make it happen. – at Charlotte, NC

Phoenix marks "One Final Ride" for Axalta, as the company merges with AkzoNobel and takes on a new name in 2027. The @Hendrick24Team will carry a special paint scheme on Sunday, identical to that of the brand's first appearance in #NASCAR (2013). josephsrigley.com/2026/10/13…

"Respectfully, the Court wishes the Parties could resolve more of these discovery disputes on their own without Court intervention. The Parties in this case litigate like they race – all out to win. That approach has certainly applied to discovery in this case, and while admirable to an extent, has likely contributed to delays and additional expense. That said, the Court does appreciate the efforts of counsel in advocating for their clients, and occasionally, resolving an issue by compromise."
In JGR-Spire/Gabehart discovery dispute, judge rules: -JGR must provide full TRD agreement & all JGR-TRD contracts -Spire & JGR must provide final race setups for 2025 & 2026 -Spire must provide debriefs/all competition meeting notes & materials from Cup races Gabehart attended

I was standing next to the No. 88 car in a scrum getting @DaleJr quotes when this exploded. Will never forget Dale Jr. watching on the big screen and saying something along the lines of, “Damn, Chase is working!”

It troubles me that most fans today know Darrell Waltrip as the broadcaster not the racer. Ole DW could flat drive a race car as good as anyone ever did it. The dude was elite.

Sending my thoughts to @darrellwaltrip & the entire Waltrip family. FTD is a rough, rough condition. DW has dedicated his life to the sport of NASCAR and we’re all better off for it.
Darrell Waltrip's family has announced he has had a recent diagnosis of cognitive disease, which is causing some minor symptoms and will keep him away from the limelight. "Darrell is happy and otherwise healthy." ... Full statement:

Talk the talk and walk the walk. Kudos to Blaney for sticking to his guns.
“Something’s gonna happen…tonight,” Blaney tells us about incident with Hocevar. Says this has gone on too long. #NASCAR

Where to start? I spent six years of my NASCAR career making no money, working three other jobs just to pay bills & support my family. I wrote & served as an editor for a website & got $100 check at the end of the year. Recent years had my monthly pay decreased $2k just because.
