Josh Berry will not return to Wood Brothers Racing in 2027 after NASCAR oldest active team declined its option, throwing the storied No.21 ride open and igniting silly season.

Matt Payne was set for a surprise NASCAR Cup debut with Richard Childress Racing at Sonoma, but Grove Racing blocked the GM-backed move over his Ford ties and wrist recovery, as his manager called it a missed chance for Australian motorsport.

Two-time NASCAR Cup champion and beloved broadcaster Ned Jarrett, the sport's oldest living champion, has died at 93. NASCAR led tributes to "Gentleman Ned."

Former Formula 1 racer Kevin Magnussen will make his NASCAR Cup Series debut in Trackhouse Racing's Project91 entry at the inaugural San Diego street race, reviving the international ringer programme at one of the most unusual venues on the 2026 schedule.

NASCAR has rolled the 67th running of the Coca-Cola 600 over to Memorial Day Monday after rain pounded Charlotte Motor Speedway throughout the Sunday window, marking only the second 600 in two decades to require a Monday restart. The race will go green at 3pm ET with Tyler Reddick on pole from Sunday's washed-out qualifying.

Kyle Busch, the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, 63-time race winner and most prolific competitor in series history, has died at age 41 after being hospitalised with what his family described as a severe illness.

Denny Hamlin heads to the Coca-Cola 600 a million dollars richer from the Dover All-Star Race and as the betting favourite for NASCAR's longest race. Kyle Larson has dropped the Indy 500-Charlotte double, opening a Hendrick seat that Katherine Legge has accepted, while Charlotte's traditional patriotic paint schemes mark the Memorial Day weekend.

Denny Hamlin banked his second NASCAR All-Star Race victory and a $1 million payday at Dover Motor Speedway, edging Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Chase Briscoe by 0.887 seconds in an event marred by a Lap 2 pile-up that scorched seven cars.

Kyle Larson topped the NASCAR All-Star Race practice board at Dover Motor Speedway, but it is Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin who heads into Sunday's $1 million race as the betting favourite as the All-Star event runs at the Monster Mile for the first time and Chase Elliott shrugs the build-up off as "a normal weekend".

NASCAR's All-Star Race lands at Dover for the first time with a 350-lap, three-segment overhaul that scraps the All-Star Open and lets lapped cars reset between stages. NASCAR's Mike Ford confirmed the rule on the Hauler Talk podcast, and Dover president Mike Tatoian defended the change, but the garage and the fan base are pushing back.

Dale Earnhardt Jr has used his 15 NASCAR Most Popular Driver awards to flatten a fan claiming Carson Hocevar's YouTube backing from Cleetus McFarland could unseat Chase Elliott, calling out the maths and the spelling on a debate that has run hot since Hocevar's first Cup win.

Dale Earnhardt Jr has launched a public broadside at NASCAR over speculation the third-tier O'Reilly Auto Parts Series could move toward an electric CUV body, calling the idea a 'massive, massive mistake' that would destroy a category currently on the rise.

NASCAR has refused to approve Cleetus McFarland's entry into the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Talladega, citing his lack of mile-and-a-half experience. The YouTube star will instead run Saturday's ARCA 200 at the superspeedway and head to Nashville next month for his second tier-two start.
The 23-year-old Joe Gibbs Racing driver held off Ryan Blaney and Kyle Larson in a dramatic overtime finish at Bristol Motor Speedway to claim his maiden Cup Series triumph in his 131st start.

NASCAR confirms shortened final two stages at Talladega for April 27's GEICO 500, a pointed response to the fuel-mileage games that have infuriated drivers and fans at superspeedways.
