Richard Childress Racing's Austin Dillon looked to be well on his way to his first NASCAR Cup Series win since August 2022 and thus a 2024 playoff berth on Sunday night at Richmond Raceway before JTG Daugherty Racing's Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Stewart-Haas Racing's Ryan Preece made contact on lap 399 of 400.

HOUSTON (AP) — IndyCar driver David Malukas, who was fired for missing races due to injuries after crashing a mountain bike, has signed a multiyear deal with A.J. Foyt Racing. The deal was announced on Tuesday, three-plus months after the 22-year-old Malukas was released by Arrow McLaren without running an IndyCar race for the team due to a wrist injury from his accident. “The history and success of both A.J. Foyt Racing and A.J. Foyt himself were key factors in my decision to join the team,” Malukas said. “Everyone knows that A.J. is a legend and he was someone whose name I always heard growing up. “To have the opportunity to work alongside him and drive for his team is very special. I am starting a new chapter in my IndyCar career, and I am eager to achieve strong results with A.J. Foyt Racing.”

A look at the winners and losers of Sunday night’s Cup race at Richmond Raceway. Austin Dillon — He was headed for the win until a caution sent the race to overtime. That doesn’t justify wrecking two drivers on the last lap of overtime to win but if NASCAR is not going to penalize a driver for that, then he is the winner. Dillon snapped a 68-race winless streak, becoming the seventh driver this year to end a winless streak of 42 races or more. Dillon is back in the playoffs after missing it last year.

Rockingham Speedway hasn't hosted a NASCAR race since 2013, but the historic North Carolina track could soon find itself alive again with the roar of engines. According to spotter Freddie Kraft, the one-mile venue could return to the NASCAR calendar in 2025, hosting races for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series, as well as the ARCA Menards Series. "There was other schedule news I heard this week that's pretty much confirmed," Kraft said on Monday's episode of "Door Bumper Clear." "Rockingham is back. Not for the Cup cars. ARCA, Xfinity, Trucks (on) Easter weekend. Friday-Saturday show, no Sunday."If Rockingham were...

NASCAR finds itself at a defining moment after Richmond

This week at Monterey, Mazda Motorsports will roll out one of the four-rotor Mazda RX-792 prototypes built during a period of fierce manufacturer competition in IMSA racing. Originally crafted for IMSA's GTP category in a pivotal 1992 debut season, the car clinched a second-place podium at Watkins Glen International. Sadly, the GTP class's abrupt exit the next year dashed hopes for groundbreaking victories and innovation.

Lost in the shuffle of Sunday night's cartoonish (for lack of a better word) finish in the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway was that the story of the race — up until the last lap — was the debut of NASCAR's tire options.

Then have qualifying set and six sticker sets of standard and two sets of softer tires for race. pic.twitter.com/Nx3aePSyiy— Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) August 10, 2024

Richard Childress stood by his grandson Austin Dillon after Dillon wrecked both Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin to win Sunday night’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond. Dillon was running second to Logano on the final lap and spun him entering the final two corners. As Logano went spinning and Dillon slowed, Hamlin moved to the inside to pass Dillon. Dillon then turned left to hook Hamlin into the wall and get to the finish line first.
