Going into Kansas this weekend, we are celebrating Mother’s Day. Let’s see some drivers that are going to make their momma’s proud, and that we need to keep an eye on during the Sprint Cup Series race there Saturday Night.
The pole for the SFP 250 went to Kyle Busch with a new track qualifying record of 178.921 mph. It is Busch's 13th pole in 117 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) starts and his first in three races at Kansas Speedway.
Kansas is not as sexy as Talladega, I admit. It is not a Daytona, a Darlington, and it is no Indianapolis. I think having the race named after a series of sponsors instead of seeking a real identity might have something to do with that. Still, some big names have been among the 16 winners there since they first started up the engines back in 2001.
At Talladega this past weekend, one fan, wearing only a Goodyear, received some significant television time during the race broadcast. So, this week’s NASCAR Behind the Scenes simply had to focus on Chris MacNicol, the man otherwise known as the Talladega Tire Man.
Gordon ran up front much of the day at Talladega before he was collected in the “Big One” on lap 137. He finished 39th, his worst finish of the year, 32 laps down, but held on to the lead in the Sprint Cup points standings.
Clint Bowyer’s tenure in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series reaches a milestone this weekend when he makes his 300th career-start at an ideal place, his home track of Kansas Speedway.
"We've kind of been preaching and beating up how we are on all the other racetracks. You know, coming to this racetrack you know it's an equalizer and you've got as good a shot as anyone."
There are things in life that just irritate a person. There are calls for me to worry about man-made global warming when I got snow falling outside in the month of May. There are three hours of television devoted to a two-minute horse race. There are entertaining races from Talladega, with big names leading, big names wrecking, only to have the thing won by Denny Hamlin.
From the wild knock out qualifying that netted Brian Scott the pole position to the crazy green-white-checkered race finish, here is what was surprising and not surprising in the 45th annual Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Greg Biffle reassured his presence in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series after finishing second in the Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday afternoon, however, he’s still scratching his head on what could have been had his crew alluded him there was debris spread across the start/finish line.

The connection between racing fandom and real-world buying decisions is stronger than most people realize. It's not just preference. It's a measurable economic pattern.
The reigning two-time Cup Series champion from Elk Grove, California, led a race-high 93 of 200 laps and fended off teammate Justin Allgaier through a 17-lap shootout to notch his second O'Reilly victory of 2026 at the Lone Star state.
