The weekend sweep is an extremely rare achievement in NASCAR. To go out and run the Cup, Xfinity and Truck races on the same weekend is impressive enough, but to win all three? That’s at another level entirely. It’s only ever happened twice in the history of the sport and it was the same driver both times — Kyle Busch. The track was also the same — Bristol Motor Speedway. 
Another ...Keep reading

Warming to his theme, he continued. “But as I don’t really like what I see from 2026 in terms of what the car is going to do, the ...Keep reading

Having been punished to do ‘some work of public interest’ for giving his forthright views in a televised press conference in Singapore last year, the F1 world champion was not going to make the same mistake again. Back then, he was slapped with community service for swearing, which ultimately saw him hauled to Rwanda ...Keep reading
