NASCAR's playoff king, Logano, wants derided format to stay

So Joey Logano — a.k.a. NASCAR’s self-proclaimed playoff king — wants the current playoff format to stay. Shocking, right? That’s like the casino owner saying, “Hey, these slot machines are perfectly fair.” Let’s be real: the system isn’t about rewarding the best driver over 36 weeks. It’s about chaos, resets, and who can peak at just the right time. A guy can dominate the regular season, lead the stats in wins, laps, and top 5s, and still lose the championship to someone who got hot in November. But sure, Joey says it’s fine… because Joey figured out how to ride that rollercoaster and hop off at the trophy stand. I mean, imagine if other sports worked like this: “Congrats, Patriots, on your 15–2 season. But sorry, you’re out because you had one bad Sunday in January. Meanwhile, the 9–8 Jaguars just caught fire — here’s the Super Bowl ring.” Yeah, sounds absurd. But in NASCAR? That’s just called the playoffs. Of course Joey wants it to stay. When the game is built to reward the survivor of a demolition derby of luck, timing, and chaos, the king of chaos is going to protect his throne. #NASCAR25 #RacingDebate #RacingDrama #RacingNews

23XI Claims Irreparable Harm Over Lost Charters, Court Date Set Thursday

23XI Racing has filed in court today, warning that it will face irreparable harm ⚠️ if it doesn’t get its charters back. The filing comes after Tyler Reddick reportedly issued a breach of contract notice 📄, and sponsors are reportedly pulling back or scaling down support 💸. Both 23XI and NASCAR are expected in court this Thursday ⚖️ to address the dispute. Honestly, this situation highlights just how fragile the business side of racing can be 🏎️💨. One contractual hiccup or a sponsor pulling back, and a team’s entire season—or even future—can be thrown into jeopardy. It’ll be interesting to see how NASCAR handles this, especially given how high-profile both Reddick and 23XI are right now 🌟. I can’t help but wonder if this is just the tip of the iceberg ❄️ when it comes to legal disputes in motorsports. #NASCAR25 #RacingDebate #RacingDrama

Potentially big news in Nascar...

(Stern) @NASCAR is considering changing its rules in the coming seasons to allow Cup drivers to compete in Xfinity and Truck races more often. Honestly, I kinda like this idea. Back in the day, seeing Cup guys drop down into Xfinity or Trucks made those races feel like a big deal. Yeah, I get that some fans think it takes wins away from the younger drivers, but at the same time, it gave those kids a real shot to prove themselves against the best. If NASCAR brings it back more often, I think it could spice things up. Imagine a Saturday Xfinity race with guys like Kyle Busch, Larson, or Denny mixing it up with the young guns — that’s the kind of stuff that gets butts in the seats. At the end of the day, racing’s about competition, and I don’t see anything wrong with letting the veterans sharpen the field a bit. #RacingDebate #RacingDrama #NASCAR25 #NASCAR
