NASCAR Cup Series

The 29-year-old Wallace from Mobile, Alabama, occupies the final Playoff vacant spot by 32 points over rookie Ty Gibbs approaching the regular-season finale of the 2023 season.

Two former NASCAR Cup Series champions secured 2023 Playoff spots based on points following the penultimate regular-season event at The Glen.

Denny Hamlin claimed the NASCAR Cup Series Pole at Watkins Glen International with a 125.298 mph lap in the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. It is his fourth pole this season and his second at the 2.45-mile track.

Thirteen drivers have clinched a spot in the Cup Series Playoffs - Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin, William Byron, Christopher Bell, Kyle Larson, Ross Chastain, Ryan Blaney, Chris Buescher, Kyle Busch, Tyler Reddick, Joey Logano, Michael McDowell and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. With only three open spots in the 16-driver field, the competition promises to be intense.

Kyle Larson: Larson finished eighth at Indy's road course. "This race had everything," Larson said. "Five road course ringers, one road course 'Dinger,' and several road course fingers, which is what you get when you run another driver off the road."

The 2021 Daytona 500 champion from Glendale, Arizona, led a race-high 54 of 82 laps and became the 13th different competitor to claim a 2023 Cup Playoff berth by claiming his second series triumph at the Brickyard.

Get ready for a full weekend of racing as the ARCA Menards Series and the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series hit the track Friday at the Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. The action continues Saturday and Sunday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course with the NASCAR Cup Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

This weekend Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes® is giving 2023 DAYTONA 500 CHAMPION Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and the No. 47 Kroger® Racing Camaro team the sweet spark they need to go all in for the Verizon 200 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course on Sunday, August 13th.

Chris Buescher held off the charging Martin Truex Jr. late at Michigan to win the FireKeepers Casino 400, his second consecutive win.

The 2015 Xfinity Series champion from Prosper, Texas, led a race-high 52 of 200 laps and outlasted a one-day rain delay period to fend off Truex and notch his second consecutive Cup victory in recent weeks at the Irish Hills.
