"I'm already looking forward just to the break, just to disconnecting, not speaking to anyone," the seven-time champion said, after the worst season of his career. "No one's going to be able to get hold of me this winter. I won't have my phone with me and I'm looking forward to that. Just completely unplugged from the matrix. "I've generally always had it around, but this time it's going in the fricking bin." His remarks reflect the toll this season, his first in which he has scored not a…...

Front Row Motorsports and 23XI Racing, the latter team co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and driver Denny Hamlin, are suing NASCAR, alleging monopolist practices. The plaintiffs have accused NASCAR of employing anti-competitive tactics to pressure teams into compliance. The two suing teams were the only ones that didn't agree to NASCAR's charter terms. Continuing his theme from Tuesday, France was adamant that race teams could not be given permanent charters. "I don't have a sightline to the future, and I don't feel comfortable making a promise I don't know if I can keep," he said. France added: "I don't know how you can set anything in this changing world we're in as permanent. I'm just not…...

2+ hour, 57+ min ago (257+ words) IndyCar stars just got a clearer runway to Formula One. The FIA, on Wednesday, approved a long-awaited tweak to its superlicence system, increasing the number of ranking points available to drivers finishing between third and ninth in the U.S.-based series. To race in F1, drivers need 40 superlicence points across three years. Until now, only the IndyCar champion earned that tally in one shot, with 30 going to the runner-up " a setup many in American motorsport have long blasted as unfair compared to junior series like Formula Two. The FIA says the updated structure, which kicks in from 2026, "reflects the growing significance" of IndyCar. And with F1 booming stateside, three U.S. Grands Prix, and Cadillac joining the grid as the 11th team next season, the timing is no coincidence. The change also shines a spotlight on Colton Herta, a nine-time IndyCar race winner who will race…...

3+ hour, 43+ min ago (486+ words) In most sports, the math offers some mercy. Two teams square off, and each walks in with a clean fifty-fifty shot. Racing doesn't deal that hand to anyone. In a field of 36 to 40 drivers, only one climbs out with the trophy, and even the sharpest talent can watch a win slip away because of variables far beyond skills. Joey Logano learned that lesson the hard way. After steamrolling his way through the K&N Pro Series, Busch East, ARCA Menards, Trucks, and Xfinity, he entered the Cup stage expecting the same rhythm. Instead, the sport handed him a blunt dose of humility. That reality check is exactly what Logano unpacked on the Donut Podcast with Joe Weber, where he spoke candidly about the sting of losing and the discipline required to survive the grind. He stressed the value of becoming…...
