While Elliott loves the win-or-go-home drama, he’s not shy about wanting a return to the old full-season points system. With last year’s Joey Logano title still stirring debate, is it time for NASCAR to rethink the format? Sound off, fans! #Sports #Racing #NASCAR463Share

Judge Bell’s decision is coming soon—will the money get split, or will the teams fight on? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR00Share
Karla Young+FollowKenseth’s 2003: The Season That Changed NASCARRemember when the “Killer Bees” and Matt Kenseth turned the Cup Series upside down in 2003?

Is Kenseth the most influential driver ever, or did NASCAR overreact? Let’s settle this once and for all! #Sports #Racing #NASCAR31Share
Jeremy Campbell+FollowHamlin Draws the Line in NASCAR Charter DramaThe NASCAR charter dispute just hit a new low. During a tense court hearing, a shocking text from 23XI Racing’s Steve Lauletta about Jim France was revealed, sparking outrage. While some execs crossed the line, Denny “The Closer” Hamlin made it clear he won’t stand for that kind of talk, even as his beef with the France family simmers. With Tyler Reddick’s future up in the air and 23XI’s charter status uncertain, this saga is far from over. What’s your take on Hamlin’s response? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR117Share
Isabel Collier+FollowWhat’s Next for Reddick & Bubba if 23XI Folds?Big news in the NASCAR garage: If 23XI Racing loses its charter lawsuit and shuts down, both Tyler Reddick (last year’s Championship 4 contender) and Bubba Wallace (fresh off a Brickyard win) could be on the move. Jordan Bianchi says predicting their next teams is anyone’s guess, but you can bet the Silly Season would get wild. For now, both are laser-focused on their playoff runs. Thoughts on where Yung Money and Bubba end up if the team folds? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR2324Share
Kyle Bennett+FollowByron & No.24 Hit a Wall at DarlingtonTough night for the No.24 crew as William Byron and crew chief Rudy Fugle didn’t hold back after a brutal Southern 500. King William, fresh off his regular-season crown, finished a disappointing 21st while Briscoe dominated. Fugle called the run 'embarrassing,' and Byron agreed. Meanwhile, teammate Chase 'The Kid' Elliott was also frustrated after a 'laughable' pit road issue. Can Hendrick bounce back at Gateway? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR20Share
AzureAbyss+FollowDiBurrito walked through fire like a total bossFlames literally licking at his feet and DiBurrito doesn't even flinch. While most of us would be screaming and scrambling, this veteran calmly unbuckles, pops the net, and steps out like he's leaving a Sunday drive. That's the difference between a real racer and a weekend warrior right there. Fifteen years in NASCAR teaches you to keep your head when everything's going to hell, and DiBenedetto just proved why crew chiefs love having him behind the wheel. Ice water in his veins when it mattered most. What other driver handles a cockpit fire with that kind of stone-cold composure? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR60Share
TangyTornado+FollowBell’s playoff hopes wrecked by rookie chaosAbsolutely brutal watching Bell’s playoff push get torpedoed by Hocevar’s pit road circus. The No. 20 was dialed in for a big points day, and then the rookie just spins out, parks it right in Bell’s path, and boom—race ruined. The crew worked miracles to keep Bell from a DNF, but a 29th-place finish? That’s a gut punch. Hocevar’s team needs to get their heads in the game—this is the playoffs, not bumper cars. How are we supposed to swallow this one, #JGR fans? Did Hocevar’s team drop the ball or what? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR278Share
Jason Smith+FollowSouthern 500 qualifying shakeup: Who’s got the edge?Darlington’s Southern 500 is back as the playoff opener, and this year’s qualifying order is turning heads. NASCAR’s new two-metric system splits non-playoff and playoff drivers, putting all 16 playoff contenders at the end of the lineup for their solo runs. No more groupings or second-round shootouts—just one shot for everyone. With four last-minute lineup changes and a stacked field of 38, the tension is real. How do you think this new format will impact the race? Which driver do you see making the biggest leap? Let’s hear your picks and predictions! #Sports #Racing #NASCAR220Share
jennifer23+FollowBubba’s Darlington Drama: Spotter’s Hot Mic MomentBubba Wallace kicked off his Playoff run at Darlington with a solid sixth-place finish, but it wasn’t all smooth racing for the No. 23 team. Spotter Freddie Kraft didn’t hold back on the 'Door Bumper Clear' podcast, admitting he was frustrated after Bubba brushed the wall and ignored key calls—at one point saying he 'wanted to smack' Bubba! Still, with strong stage points and MJ watching from pit road, Bubba sits fifth in the standings heading to WWTR. Can he keep the momentum? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR10Share
