54+ min ago (744+ words) Dec 13, 2025 | 7:15 PM EST It all dates back to the 2019 Frontstretch interview in which Austin Cindric laid bare the truth of nepotism in NASCAR. "I think it's a double-edged sword. This is such a family sport," he said. "You've got the Elliotts, Blaneys, Earnhardts, all the Pettys, these are all people, even someone with a pretty similar situation to myself is Cole Custer. It's a family sport, that's where the passion is grown." Austin Cindric knows what it's like to carry a famous last name in NASCAR, but he's determined to prove it doesn't define him. His father, Tim Cindric, once president of Team Penske on the IndyCar side, could have smoothed the way, yet Austin insists he's never been handed special treatment, and that seems to be the pattern in Roger Penske's team. And to take a closer look at…...

1+ hour, 58+ min ago (713+ words) Dec 13, 2025 | 6:12 PM EST Speaking on the Racing Electronics video, Erik Jones can already see his horizon and didn't hesitate to lay down his retirement plans. "I hope to retire sooner than people normally get to retire, and so I'm just going to frontload all my work for that time," he said. "So, I don't mind it. It's all fun stuff." Being a full-time NASCAR Cup Series competitor is one thing, but having the ability to squeeze in extra racing outside of the league is a whole other task. Erik Jones keeps an incredibly busy calendar apart from the 36-point races that demand extensive travel, practice, team meetings, and staying away from the family. Moreover, the breaks in between the cup races are filled in to chase his roots in short track racing, grabbing seat time in super late model events....

2+ hour, 19+ min ago (330+ words) A few days ago, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said that both he and Hamilton still regularly reflect on the dramatic and disputed conclusion to the 2021 Formula 1 season. Years later, Wolff admits the pain of that moment still lingers. Speaking to The Telegraph, Wolff revealed that both he and Hamilton often revisit the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, a race still regarded as one of the most contentious in Formula 1 history. Hamilton had dominated the race at Yas Marina and looked set for his eighth title until a very late crash involving the then-Williams driver Nicholas Latifi, which triggered a safety car. The change in dynamics and subsequent neutralization allowed Red Bull's Verstappen to close the gap after switching to fresh soft tyres, while Hamilton stayed out on worn-out hards. Usually, the race would have ended under the safety car, handing Hamilton…...

4+ hour, 30+ min ago (448+ words) As NASCAR navigates governance issues, charter uncertainty, and growing fan distrust, calls are growing for the sanctioning body to publicly fix its relationship with fans and sponsors through trusted, independent voices like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Denny Hamlin. The push for a public reset comes in the wake of the NASCAR antitrust lawsuit, which has shed light on the sport's business practices and deepened fan mistrust. Court testimony and filings have highlighted internal decision-making, financial structures, and the power imbalance between NASCAR and its teams. These are the issues fans have long suspected but rarely seen documented in such detail. The recently settled antitrust case between 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports vs. NASCAR has exposed how tightly NASCAR controls the charter system, revenue distribution, and long-term team security, reinforcing perceptions that the sanctioning body prioritizes control over partnership. For many…...

5+ hour, 37+ min ago (725+ words) Dec 13, 2025 | 2:32 PM EST For nearly two decades, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series has been the heartbeat of dirt racing in America. It's been a traveling grind of horsepower, grit, and blue-collar heroes that turned Saturday nights into must-watch theater. Built under the vision of the late Forrest Lucas, the series didn't just crown champions; it created a culture. Now, as the sport turns a page, a new heavyweight owner is stepping in with big promises and even bigger expectations. And if FloRacing's CEO & Co-Founder, Mark Floreani's early message is any indication, this isn't just about preserving a legacy but scaling it. "We are excited about the future of the series, and we're just excited about where we can take this. I do want to say thank you to the Lucas family. Morgan Lucas and then especially Forrest Lucas,…...

6+ hour, 7+ min ago (551+ words) The NASCAR antitrust settlement reached on December 11, 2025, ended a legal battle that pulled the sport into federal court and forced a closer look at its business model. The lawsuit was filed by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. The dispute centered on NASCAR's charter system and the level of control the sanctioning body holds over Cup Series teams. A key ruling confirmed NASCAR has "monopoly/monopsony power" in the market for premier stock car racing services. That decision narrowed the case and helped push both sides toward a settlement that changes charter ownership, revenue sharing, and team rights across the Cup Series. The lawsuit followed failed charter negotiations in September 2024. NASCAR presented teams with a 112-page charter agreement and gave them one day to sign. The deal guaranteed race entry and revenue but did not offer permanent charters. While most teams…...
