Almirola wins inaugural Xfinity Series event at Sonoma

The 39-year-old Almirola from Tampa, Florida, led 17 of 79-scheduled laps and fended off road-ringers Allmendinger and Larson through a 15-lap dash to the finish to notch his first Xfinity victory since 2017.

The Final Word – If they weren’t racing, they were wrecking at Talladega

Dale Earnhardt Jr. started on the pole at Talladega. Most years, that is just par for the course. In this, his final season, it was a return down memory lane.

Hot 20 – A Southern night with the lady in black at Darlington

With the Southern 500 coming our way from Darlington this weekend, it seems like a good time to talk about tradition. The first one in the books was back in 1950, making it the oldest of the sport’s iconic events. Most of the time, it goes to someone who is in or will be in, the Hall of Fame. That number will only grow once Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson get in, along with a few other contenders I can think of.
