It’s always hard to say that there’s anything good that came from someone’s death. It feels a little callous, a little dismissive of the hurt that’s felt by their friends and family and those who loved them. But one NASCAR fan may not be here today if it weren’t for the shocking and sudden death of NASCAR legend Kyle Busch.

Maybe a bit of an overreaction… It was quite the weekend for Kyle Larson. The driver of the #5 car for Hendrick Motorsports finished 6th on Saturday in the NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway, a much-needed good run after wrecks the past two races during the Brickyard 400 and the Iowa Corn 350. But that wasn’t the only race he ran on Saturday. Larson is also a prolific dirt track racer and had qualified on the pole for […] The post A Fan Was So Mad About Kyle Larson Getting A Police Escort To A Race That He Burned All His Merch first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

One of the rare situations where a first year driver in NASCAR won’t be eligible for the “Rookie of the Year” award. Corey Heim is already a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack. The 24-year old has only been running part time in NASCAR this season, but it was announced last month that the phenom will be replacing Riley Herbst and joining 23XI Racing full time next season. That was undoubtedly the right call by 23XI Racing, considering Heim […] The post NASCAR’s Rising Star, Corey Heim, Will Not Eligible For Rookie Of The Year Award… Here’s Why first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Sounds like Dale Earnhardt Jr. is on board. Last week, the Hollywood Reporter revealed that a Days of Thunder sequel officially has the green light, or the green flag, I guess, and will be directed by Jonathan Levine, with Tom Cruise once again set to star in the movie, as he did the original.

He doesn’t miss. For the first time in 30 years, NASCAR Cup Series points racing is officially returning to North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday. The inaugural Window World 450 will be the first championship points-paying Cup Series race at the historic track since September 29th, 1996, and it’s been a long, nearly improbable journey to get there, but it’s been worth it.

Speaking for a lot of fans. NASCAR has faced quite a few problems with their Gen 7 (or Next Gen) Cup Series car since it debuted back in 2022. The car was meant to save teams money by requiring them to use parts sourced from a single source and standardizing many of the parts of the car – think buying a model car from Walmart and just putting it together. The problem, though, has been that the car has been […] The post Championship-Winning Crew Chief Blasts “Donkeys” At NASCAR For Ruining Next Gen Car first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
There was already a whole lot of work that needed to be done to the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in the first place. A fire that broke out below the grandstands in June just added another item to the to-do list.

How can you not love this guy? Carson Hocevar has quickly become one of my favorite drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series. He first took over the #77 car full time back in 2024, and made quite a few headlines for his hard-charging (and at times reckless) driving style, but also for not seeming to really care what anybody else thought about him. Of course he also made a bunch of new fans earlier this year when he won his […] The post Carson Hocevar’s Team Was Playing Music For Him Over The Radio During Late-Night Finish At Atlanta first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
