The NASCAR Hall of Fame nominations usually make me yawn. Year after year, mostly because of the Hall’s policy of only naming a few to the Hall and the fact that it includes drivers, owners, mechanics, and the front office people, it seems that those truly deserving of getting in the Hall aren’t accepted.
On Wednesday, it was officially announced that Bill Elliott will be one of the five inductees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in January. Elliott joins Fred Lorenzen, Wendell Scott, Joe Weatherly and Rex White as part of the 2015 class.
NASCAR's rule change on a yearly basis, and sometimes rules change in-season. Below are eight ideas that would bring value and entertainment to NASCAR.
Josh Wise got in the Sprint All-Star race, and at least managed to still be running at the end. His sponsor, Dogecoin, got all sorts of publicity, and Danica Patrick, Kyle Larson, and Austin Dillon got screwed.
Sam Hornish Jr. claimed his third career Nationwide Series victory in 101 starts at Iowa Speedway. The turning point came on a restart with 21 laps to go when Hornish pulled ahead of Ryan Blaney to take the lead.
Jamie McMurray restarted second and used the outside line during the final 10-lap segment to pass race leader Carl Edwards to win Saturday nights NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.
Ryan Blaney claimed the 21 Means 21 Pole Award, his first career Nationwide Series pole, for Sunday’s Get To Know Newton 250 presented by Sherwin Williams at Iowa Speedway. Each race of the 2014 Nationwide Series season has seen a new polesitter and Blaney continues the progression by becoming the 10th different pole winner in 10 races.
Kyle Busch would put on a clinic at Charlotte Motor Speedway as he dominated the North Carolina Education Lottery 200, leading all but four of the 134 laps. It marks Busch's 38th career victory and his third victory in three starts this season.
He had to finish in the top two to make it into the Sprint All-Star Race and Clint Bowyer did just that as he dominated the second half of the 40 lap Sprint Showdown to grab the victory.
Chasse Elliott, the 2020 Cup Series champion from Dawsonville, Georgia, led 84 of 400 laps and utilized a late pit strategy call to record his first Cup victory of 2026.
Chase Elliott took Chevrolet on its first trip to victory lane in the NASCAR Cup Series this season – claiming the checkered flag in the Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway.
Denny Hamlin won the pole and the first two stages before finishing second to lead Toyota at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday evening. With the finish, Hamlin moved up to third in the point standings.
