Reflect back to the early to mid 2000’s. The All-Star Races during those years were action-packed and go for broke events. Team owners told their drivers to only bring back the steering wheel.
My friend Monte Dutton, who is one of the best or probably was one of the best writers on the NASCAR beat, tweeted Saturday night that unlike normal races, the format actually seems to encourage all hell breaking loose UNTIL the end.
Ken Schrader may just be the oldest winner in the history of the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards, but he is no doubt the happiest after taking the checkered flag first in the Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care this weekend at Toledo Speedway.

We're 1/3 of the way through the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, and it’s onto Speedweeks at Charlotte. A million bucks is up for grabs this week (actually 2 million), and unlike the NHL, the NBA, and the MLB, we're already on to the All-Star weekend.
While any death is tragic, especially when it is unexpected, reactions are even more complicated when the person takes his own life. This was definitely demonstrated after the NASCAR family learned of Dick Trickle’s death of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in a local cemetery.
Mayor Glenn Jacobs, better known as WWE Wrestling superstar KANE, and NFL quarterback Joshua Dobbs have been named dignitaries for the tradition-rich Food City 500
RAFA Racing Team opened the 2026 Pirelli GT4 America season with a perfect weekend, as Tyler Gonzalez and Westin Workman swept both races at Sonoma Raceway in the No. 68 Endava Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2.
Logano cut the deficit down to just over a second with 15 laps to go, but ultimately took the checkered flag third to secure his second top-five finish of the season.
