The NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway was going to feel fresh and different. Instead, it did the opposite, boring and confusing many fans, making it drag on for hours, and sparking debate over whether or not the format change actually worked.

NASCAR insider Jeff Gluck joined the race on The Teardown Podcast, and to be honest, his reaction pretty much matched the mood of a lot of viewers.

He said, “This can’t happen again. It’s not right. It needs to be sent into the sun and burned with fire. This wasn’t the right track for this. This wasn’t the right format for this. From the time they started and about four hours to the time they ended, the format was completely wrong, starting with putting people who were open with people who were closed.”

And he also explained what he thought was the bigger issue: “Ultimately, the way the rules were today, because of the wrecks and all these things, you had nine guys involved. I think they came at the expense of real All-Stars who had already made their way into it and weren’t even able to get into the All-Star race.”

His disappointment was mainly over identity and the idea that the All-Star Race should highlight the best of the sport, not be swallowed up by a hybrid format that changed the feel of the whole thing.

Fans call it “the worst All-Star Race ever”

If Gluck was disappointed, fans were even more direct.

Social media reaction during and after the race was brutal, with many calling it one of the weakest All-Star events in years.

One fan said, “That was the worst All-Star race we’ve ever had. I don’t understand why Nascar has to make it so hard.”

Another reaction expressed the anger even more clearly: “Worst format ever!! Worst All Star Race I have ever seen!! It was just a short non points race. No excitement!! 0!!”

There were also some more reflective remarks, some of which pointed out how prize money still feels stuck in the past compared to how much the sport has grown economically.

Running didn’t help at all. A huge early upset took out some of the biggest names in the field, including Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott. Larson managed to get back out after repairs, but Elliott’s race was basically over on the spot.

From there, it turned into a long, chaotic afternoon that lasted much longer than expected, with confusion compounded by changes in strategy and constant resets.

In the end, Denny Hamlin still did what he does at Dover, he won. But even that seemed like a footnote compared to everything else that happened.

Because by the time it was over, most of the conversation wasn’t about who won. It was about whether NASCAR’s experiment had gone completely awry.

The results of NASCAR’s 2026 All-Star Race at Dover didn’t stop at just the “boring” format. Another debate quickly erupted on social media over the weekend: Is the race still paying enough to feel truly special?

As for the winner, the answer for a lot of fans seems to be ‘no.’

The NASCAR All-Star Race winner still takes home $1 million, the same top prize the event has offered since 2003. And while that number once seemed huge, many fans now feel it no longer matches the scale, money and publicity of modern NASCAR.

Fans feel the “Jackpot” feeling is gone

For years, the All-Star Race has felt like drivers are risking everything for a life-changing test.

But in 2026, many fans feel that edge is gone. Part of this comes from inflation. A $1 million prize in 2003 would be worth about $1.81 million today, meaning the value of the prize has quietly diminished over time.

And after Dover’s chaotic race weekend, fans began to openly question whether NASCAR needed to seriously reconsider pay.

Some argue that if the sport really wants to make the race feel like a major event again then the winner should now get something closer to $5 million.

Especially now that NASCAR is working under a massive television rights deal worth $7.7 billion through 2031.

One fan on Reddit said nostalgically: “This used to be a really huge cash prize, so all the best drivers were tempted to buy a purse you wouldn’t normally see (outside of the Daytona 500). If you want people to do nothing again, make the prize $5 million.”

Now let’s be clear, and put the demonstrative outrage aside: $1 million is a lot of money, no question about it. It’s just putting that figure in context for the fans’ entertainment. The logic behind this is simple: If NASCAR wants drivers to race aggressively in a non-points exhibition full of wreck risks and experimental formats, the reward must also be huge. Because, to put things in perspective, the top NASCAR Cup Series drivers earn base salaries ranging from $5 million to more than $15 million per season.

When you add up race winnings, performance bonuses and sponsorship deals, the total annual earnings of the sport’s biggest stars often exceed $10 million to $17 million annually. So this means that they will not risk any aggressive moves for a race in which they may not get any points.

Not all fans think money solves problems

At the same time, not everyone believes that throwing more money into the race will suddenly solve everything.

Some fans admitted that they don’t care about the millionaire drivers becoming even richer. “I think the novelty of the big prize has also worn off for most people. Why should we care if a millionaire wins more money?”

For them, the issue is more about the breed losing its identity over the years. And to be honest, this feeling continued to emerge after Dover.

A lot of the reaction focused on nostalgia, fans missing when the All-Star Race was simpler, shorter, more aggressive and truly different from a regular Cup Series event.

Instead, many viewers felt that the 2026 edition became overly complicated due to segment changes, inversions, and a format that ran too long.

This is where the division is actually taking place. Some fans believe that a much larger purse, perhaps even $5 million, could bring back excitement and motivate drivers to race harder.

Others think the event has “lost its soul” and that fixing the format makes more sense than raising checks.

The drivers themselves have started taking the conversation forward

Driver fans agree. Bubba Wallace recently said that the $3 million prize would probably change the way drivers race aggressively.

Denny Hamlin also acknowledged that the current payout “doesn’t move the needle the way it once did.” He said: “I’m just going to spend $1 million on parts and pieces? We haven’t developed anything yet,” Hamlin said. “So, to change all these things piecemeal, we’re going to make changes, we’re going to spend a lot of money. And it’s only paid $1 million to win. It’s paid $1 million to win for 30 years. It’s not that good anymore. Even if one of my cars won, I don’t even remotely see it as a break-even proposition.”

And when drivers are also openly and freely saying they want “more” money, it seems like maybe they do.

RFK Racing is facing the possibility of needing to run one of its three The Chase contenders in an unnamed car next season. If the team wants to change this, it may have to pay a heavy price.

The Athletic’s motorsports reporter Jordan Bianchi wrote this week that the low-end estimate for securing a permanent charter in the Cup Series is “close to $100 million,” and it could be even higher.

RELATED: Elite RFK Racing drivers could lose chartered status in 2027

RFK currently has a charter lease from Rick Ware Racing for the 2026 season. However, that charter was sold to Legacy Motor Club to complete the team’s expansion to three full-time drivers in 2027.

A charter in excess of $100 million is the kind of price tag that teams like Spire Motorsports, 23XI Racing, Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske can possibly afford. The same was not necessarily the case with RFK’s financial situation.

This puts RFK in the same situation that team owners in the National Football League are increasingly facing. Although this is more extreme – NFL franchise value now exceeds $7 billion – NASCAR teams will need to target partnerships with private equity groups to afford the rising costs.

RELATED: Young driver named favorite for new charter at Legacy

At that point, Puck’s John Orand reported in January that private equity groups and media corporations had “informal conversations” about a possible process of taking a minority ownership stake in NASCAR. Similarly, the teams also have similar interests, with Spire’s pockets an example of how financial support from private equity can help fund operations.

Therefore, if RFK wants to obtain a charter to ensure that Ryan Preece, Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher are all eligible for the races and can receive full slotted purses for their finale, they will need to find the funds to obtain another charter.

What NASCAR charters may be available?

NASCAR still has four charters it can sell, but none of them are likely to be made available to RFK. Under the new agreement signed this year, NASCAR can create and sell four new charters to a new OEM entering the Cup Series, which is expected to be Ram.

This leaves the only options for RFK to lease or purchase the charter outright from another team. Spire, 23XI, Penske, Joe Gibbs Racing, Richard Childress Racing and Trackhouse Racing have no intentions of downsizing.

Meanwhile, Hyak Motorsports has extended Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s commitment to another season with a full-time driver in the Cup Series. Similarly, Wood Brothers Racing is expected to retain Josh Berry.

He leaves Rick Ware Racing and the Haas factory team. The most likely option would be for RWR to sell its only remaining charter, but even that may require some convincing as it would take Cody Ware out of the Cup Series.

At this point, Shane van Gisbergen’s dominance on the road course seems inevitable. Watkins Glen was the latest example of this. The Trackhouse Racing driver entered the field late in the race, passed more than 20 cars in the final stages and then pulled away from the pack and won by more than seven seconds. The scary thing for the rest of the garage is that two NASCAR veterans believe their biggest advantage still can’t be copied by the rest of the drivers.

Following SVG’s latest masterclass, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kevin Harvick break down why the former Supercars champion is operating on a completely different level when the series turns left and right.

For Dell Jr., it starts with technology. Speaking on the Dale Jr. Download Podcast, Earnhardt explained that Van Gisbergen’s use of the clutch during the braking zone is something that most Cup drivers do not grow up learning.

“He (SVG) is braking with his right foot. And his foot is on the clutch,” Dale Jr. explained. “And so when it starts to sense that the rear tires are trying to gain time, such as engine braking, trying to drag the rear tire or even induce wheel hop, it will modulate the clutch a little bit to reduce the load on the drivetrain.”

Earnhardt said this technology also helps Shane Van Gisbergen get the car deeper into the corners without damaging the rear tires. “He’ll release the clutch a little bit or use the clutch pedal to help pitch the car and turn.”

This may seem trivial on paper, but it’s actually not something drivers can easily learn halfway through their careers.

“It’s a technique you have to have from the day you start driving a race car,” he said. “There’s no chance in hell, no fuck’s way. There’s only one driver in the NASCAR Cup field today who can implement and adopt this technology and do it well.”

Kevin Harvick thinks Shane van Gisbergen’s biggest advantage may actually be mental

While Dale Jr. focused on the technical side, Kevin Harvick turned to something else entirely. Experience. Patience. And knowing how much there is to reveal.

On Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour podcast, the 2014 Cup champion explained why Shane van Gisbergen is far more dangerous than the typical road-course specialist NASCAR used to see years ago.

According to Harvick, many “ringers” have struggled in the past because they never fully adapted to the weekly rhythm of NASCAR racing.

“He’s also really good at communicating with his car and with his team,” Harvick said. “He has the maturity to know how to play the game off the racetrack, what to say, what not to say, keeping his cards pretty close to his vest.”

Harvick believes his calm approach gives Van Gisbergen another advantage over the field as competitors still do not fully know everything he is capable of.

“He’s got a great poker face, he’s a showman,” Harvick said. “He’s really good at making sure he’ll help you, but I don’t think he’ll show you everything he has because no one else can do that.”

At this point, SVG is no longer just the exotic road-course guy who occasionally comes in and steals a win. Drivers now know they understand NASCAR strategy, tire management, restarts and race flow at an even higher level. And as Harvick pointed out, he’s still learning.

Which raises a very uncomfortable question for the rest of the field: what happens when Shane van Gisbergen becomes as dangerous on the Oval as he already is on the road?

Carson Hocevar is emerging as one of the next superstars in NASCAR, while rookie Connor Zylisch is a few years away from becoming one of the top drivers in the Cup Series. The future of the sport is bright and it has a huge impact on some of the emerging drivers.

Let’s dive into our list of the top NASCAR prospects in 2026 who are off to a good start this season and increase their chances of reaching the Cup Series.

corey day

Corey Day, who turns 21 in November, had a tough start to 2026 with a 27th-place finish at Daytona and an incident with Connor Zylisch. It was the latest in a series of mistakes and questionable moves by the young driver that raised questions about his preparation for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Since then, he has demonstrated why Kyle Larson and Hendrick Motorsports have so much confidence in him for the long term.

Through 13 races, Day has the fifth-most points (422) in the O’Reilly Series and has been showing great consistency recently. Even including a DNF (37th place) at Texas Motor Speedway, Day has boasted a 9.75 average finishing position in the last 12 races. He scored his first O’Reilly Series win at Talladega and had four top-five finishes along with nine top-10 finishes in that 12-race span. If Hendrick decides to move on from Alex Bowman, Day seems to be the favorite to take the No. 48 car. However, it would not be a surprise if the team waited until 2028 for Day to become a full-time Cup driver.

Caden Honeycutt

Even before winning four races in a single weekend, 22-year-old Caden Honeycutt was viewed as one of the top NASCAR prospects in 2026. He was the obvious choice for Tricon Garage to replace Corey Haim in the No. 11 truck, and the move has paid off. Honeycutt led the Truck Series points even before his first win in the series at Watkins Glen. Through eight races, Honeycutt leads the Truck Series in the top-five (five) and top-10 (six), and among full-time drivers he leads the third-most laps (68). Minimal experience in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series means Honeycutt is two years away from reaching the Cup. However, we may see him get some opportunities in 2027.

jessie love

Of the top NASCAR prospects in 2026, other than Corey Haim, Jesse Love probably has the best chance to land a full-time Cup Series ride in 2027. A top development driver for Richard Childress Racing, Love is already driving part-time in the No. 33 car. The majority of his time is spent behind the wheel of the No. 2 in the O’Reilly Series, where he has already scored three career wins and currently sits third in points (479) with most top-10s (nine) and most laps led (279). Love will have a chance to become O’Reilly Series champion for the second consecutive year. Whether he can accomplish it or not, Love may have the option of driving full-time for RCR or Legacy Motor Club at Cup level next season at just 22 years old.

gio ruggiero

Gio Ruggiero entered the season ranked 15th by Bob Pockross among the top NASCAR prospects in 2026. It’s fair to say that the 19-year-old has been raising his stock this season. While he finished 15th at Watkins Glen, NASCAR admitted to the No. 17 team that Ruggiero should not have received a penalty for the early restart. The mistake cost him a top-five finish, which would have been his fourth finish in eight races this season.

Even after that mistake made by NASCAR, Ruggiero still has the fourth-most points (257) in the Truck Series and the third-most top-fives. If he can continue at this pace and finish the year in the championship mix, perhaps O’Reilly will have a full-time ride with Joe Gibbs Racing in the Series in 2027. Given that he doesn’t turn 20 until the end of August, it’s possible we see Ruggiero in a Cup car before he turns 21.

chandler smith

Chandler Smith is currently in the old age for NASCAR prospects, turning 24 in June. However, he has experience racing in the Cup Series with Front Row Motorsports. He spends most of his time driving in the Truck Series as a full-time driver for the No. 38. Through eight races, he has almost as many top-fives (four) as he had last season (five), and he is on pace for the best season-long performance of his career.

brent cruz

At 18 years old, Brent Cruz is already seen as one of the future stars in NASCAR. The California native’s age limited the number of O’Reilly Series races he could be a part of to start the season. So, rather than highlight that he is 11th in points (324) in nine races, there are better ways to look at his success this season.

Cruz is averaging 36 points per race in 2026, third in the O’Reilly Series behind only Justin Allgaier (49.2) and Sheldon Creed (37.3). He has improved even more as he has gained more experience at the level, recording five consecutive top-10 finishes with a 4.0 average finishing position over that period. If you want to know how high people inside the sport are regarding the crew’s future, he is widely seen as Denny Hamlin’s successor with JGR.

NASCAR driver Caden Honeycutt is coming off one of the best weekends in racing this season, winning four races including his first Truck Series win. Although he is dominating in trucks at the moment, it won’t be long before he moves up to the Cup Series.

In the latest episode of The Teardown, The Athletic’s NASCAR reporter Jordan Bianchi said he expects Honeycutt to make it to the Cup Series by 2028.

“It’s turning heads right now and he’s got some ways to go. But the path he’s on, he’s someone I would expect to be in the Cup Series in 2028.”

The Athletic’s Jordan Bianchi on when Caden Honeycutt could reach the Cup Series

Honeycutt, who turns 23 in June, entered the season ranked sixth among the top NASCAR prospects in 2026 by Fox Sports’ Bob Pokrass. With Jesse Love and Corey Haim both potentially getting full-time Cup Series rides for the 2027 season, Honeycutt could be one of the next in line and be even higher ranked a year from now.

He has proved that he can win anywhere. Honeycutt’s first Truck Series win came over the weekend when he won four races, including two CARS races and a win in the ARCA Menards Series.

That’s why Honeycutt was chosen to replace Ham in the No. 11 truck with the Tricon garage. Although he has not repeated the historic results delivered by Hamm last season, he leads the Truck Series in points (312) with the most top-fives (five) and fourth-most laps (68) among full-time truck drivers.

Winning four different races with four different teams speaks volumes about Honeycutt’s talent behind the wheel. The Truck Series championship means a lot to him this season and if all goes well, it’s fair to think he’ll become a 24-year-old Cup driver in 2028.

The lawsuit between Joe Gibbs Racing, Chris Gebhardt and Spire Motorsports has turned into a NASCAR civil war, and fans are choosing sides. At this point, it seems like half of NASCAR fans are arguing about it online every day.

It all started when JGR accused their former competition director, Gabehart, of taking confidential competition data and trade secrets before leaving for Spire Motorsports. He also refused to share sensitive information with the team. The case already involves claims of deleted messages, forensic examination of devices, cease-and-desist orders and public firings from both sides.

And when Carson Hocevar led Speer to a shocking Talladega win, the debate reached a whole other level.

Joe Gibbs Racing threw a curveball by amending its lawsuit to imply that Spire’s sudden jump was due to Gabehart stealing confidential data and trade secrets from the organization. And to rub it in, JGR took aim at Spire’s social media posts celebrating his win and said in court papers that the team was basically ridiculing the allegations.

Around the same time, Denny Hamlin publicly criticized Spire owner Jeff Dickerson online, accusing the team of “hiring someone who stole information worth millions.” Those comments, along with JGR’s repeated claims that Spire’s rise was linked to inaccurate data, prompted fans to take sides almost immediately.

Now, NASCAR fans are divided. Some fans think that JGR is completely justified and is protecting its “secret sauce”. Others feel the team is going after a weak team that has finally started winning.

A lot of fans didn’t like the timing

One thing that immediately rubbed people the wrong way was the fact that JGR was placing more emphasis on the lawsuit right after Spire’s win at Talladega.

For many fans, the timing seemed emotional. Chaos happens almost every year at Talladega, so a lot of people didn’t like the idea that a superspeedway win suddenly proved that Spire had some massive technical advantage.

On Reddit, one fan said that JGR had “definitely crazy ex-feelings”. Another called the whole thing “absolutely sour grapes.”

Fans also pointed out that several Gibbs cars crashed or made mistakes during the race, which led some to find the allegations even weaker.

Is Spier winning because of Gabhart or because he’s just good?

Everyone keeps coming back to this argument.

A lot of fans think that Gabehart bested Spier simply because he is one of the smartest competitors in the garage.

People kept repeating versions of the same point online: You can’t expect someone to “wipe their brains out” when they leave a race team.

Others questioned how useful six-month-old setup data is even in the next-gen era, where teams are constantly changing things from week to week.

Some fans also think that Joe Gibbs Racing is more interested in making an example of Gebhardt than proving actual damage.

However many fans think that if the files were actually taken then JGR has every right to keep their information safe. One Reddit user wrote, “If there is proof that Gabhart stole IP from them, JGR is 100% justified.”

Another fan compared it to corporate espionage and said that his company would “destroy” any competitor if it was caught carrying internal data.

Spire suddenly became a fan favorite

For a surprising number of fans, Spire has become the underdog in all this.

Jeff Dickerson’s public comments incensed people, especially when he claimed that “the process is the punishment” and insisted that Spier “took no shortcuts.”

Even court cases have become online entertainment.

Now the legal dispute between Joe Gibbs Racing and former employee Chris Gabehart has taken another important turn when a judge has officially scheduled the case for trial in January 2027.

According to reports from the latest hearing, both sides insisted on very different timelines before the court reached a compromise decision.

As RACER.com writer Kelly Crandall reported on social media, “Judge Susan Rodriguez has ordered that the Chris Gabehardt/Spire Motorsports vs. Joe Gibbs Racing trial move to January 2027. Both sides argued for their proposed dates in a telephonic hearing yesterday (Gibbs wanted November and Spire/Gabehart wanted May 2027).”

The January 2027 date effectively split the difference.

Sunday’s Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway caused some early chaos due to cautions that took out top drivers like Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell and Joey Logano. On a day that saw plenty of surprises at the front of the field and in terms of DNFs, there’s a lot to take away.

Let’s take a look at our winners and losers from today’s NASCAR race.

Winner: Chase Elliott takes his second win of 2026

Even if Chase Elliott couldn’t get to victory lane on Sunday, potentially missing out on the win due to a late caution with about 10 laps remaining, it was going to be a great points day. Thanks to the No. 9 team, the work put into building the fastest car at Texas Motor Speedway was rewarded on the final restart as Elliott raced to victory. Elliott has now given himself a nice cushion in the top four of the points table through 11 races.

Loser: Christopher Bell’s bad luck continues in Texas

Texas Motor Speedway has not been kind to Christopher Bell and the No. 20 team. Coming into the Wurth 400, Bell had finished 17th or worse in three of his previous nine races at the track. Things were looking promising early on Sunday, with Bell leading 22 laps and moving closer to the Stage 1 victory. Unfortunately, as he worked to pass teammate Denny Hamlin, Todd Gilliland broke loose and went straight into the No. 20. Bell’s car suffered damage at the end of the race, resulting in a last-place finish at Texas with only 1 point.

Winner: Riley Herbst starts proving she belongs

The day Corey Heim led 69 laps, rekindling calls for him to get a full-time ride with 23XI Racing next season, Riley Herbst needed a strong performance at Texas Motor Speedway. mission accomplished. Herbst scored 3 stage points in the second stage and secured his third top-20 finish of the season. While we believe Heim will drive the No. 35 car for 23XI next season, Herbst is doing enough to potentially earn a ride with Legacy Motor Club in 2026.

Loser: Fate got Joey Logano’s number 22

The day didn’t start well for Joey Logano, who finished 23rd in Stage 1. Fortune seemed to be on their side, however, when on lap 94, William Byron spun out and Logano narrowly avoided colliding with the No. 24 car. After a few moments, fate found him. Coming out of his pit box, Logano hit Cole Custer hard in the back when the No. 41 stopped on pit road to try to let Ty Gibbs out so he could get into his pit stall. The driver of the No. 22 car had his front end torn off by the impact, ending his day in 37th place.

Winner: Eric Jones delivers season-best points day

Coming into today’s NASCAR race, Erik Jones had not scored more than 16 points in last month’s race. He was losing 14 points in three consecutive races and after the first caution in Stage 1, thanks to the No. 43 team’s strategy, Jones took his first Cup Series stage win of the year and finished the day in 12th place with a season-best 35 points.

Loser: Ryan Blaney’s Pit Road Experience

The good news for the No. 12 team is that this time the pit crew was not at fault. Ryan Blaney lost 11 places on his first pit stop in the Wurth 400 because his car left the pit box and stalled when he put it in the wrong gear. It came after Blaney had earned double-digit placings after poor qualifying on Saturday. Unfortunately, the problem with qualifying poorly is that it leaves you with one of the last options for a pit stall. He later came back to bite Blaney. When Erik Jones came into his pit stall in an awkward position, Blaney had to retreat after his stop to turn the car around. It’s been that kind of season for Blaney on pit road. What’s remarkable, and a testament to Blaney, is that despite all this he’s still ranked 10th.

Winner: Alex Bowman Getting Back on Track

We still believe the chances of Alex Bowman appearing on The Chase are next to zero. That said, the driver of the No. 48 car has shown since his return why he could be the best option for Hendrick Motorsports next season. A third-place finish at Talladega gave Bowman a ninth-place finish on Saturday, giving him his second consecutive top-10 finish. He has scored 72 points over the last two races, which is a great score for someone who only had 24 points upon his return to Kansas Speedway a few weeks ago.

Loser: Kyle Larson has another bad day

The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion comes to Texas Motor Speedway with two DNFs this season and three finishes of 32nd or worse in 11 races. Unfortunately for Kyle Larson, the No. 5 car had more problems on Sunday. He was already having trouble handling the car and then he lost it while taking a roundabout to take caution. Damage to No. 5 forced him behind the wall for repairs, resulting in him falling out of the top 30 for the fourth time this season.

Winner: Daniel Suarez leaves Trackhouse in the rearview

All three Trackhouse Racing drivers finished outside the top 15 in today’s NASCAR race at Texas. Meanwhile, the driver they didn’t want scored his third top-10 finish of the season through just 11 races. After qualifying in second place on Saturday, Daniel Suárez earned 5 stage points in Stage 2 and remained in the top-10 for sixth place for the rest of the day. Suarez is clearly demonstrating that he belongs in the Cup Series, which will make things even more interesting when NASCAR’s silly season arrives. It’s also clear at this point that the problem was Trackhouse, not Suarez.

The first round of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway was uneventful, dominated by commercials more than anything else. A few minutes after Stage 2, “The Big One” happened in Dega.

Just 17 laps into the second stage with racing three-wide at the front of the field, Ross Chastain came to the middle of the lane. This created a stack-up with Ryan Blaney, Austin Cindric, Josh Berry and Joey Logano behind him, that momentum carried Bubba Wallace to the lead.

The No. 23 car came loose from the stack-up push and overturned into the wall, where it was struck by Cole Custer’s No. 41 car. Custer went down and hit Daniel Suarez, who spun into Logano, and the massacre took over most of the field.

Wallace exited his car due to the damage at the end of the race and was taken to the infield care center where he was treated. Speaking to Fox’s pit reporter Jamie Little, he accepted responsibility for what happened.

“We have to figure out how to push better, so I’ll take charge. We’ll do a good debrief and figure out what we can do to make our Toyota a little better at pushing.”

Bubba Wallace on “The Big One” in Dega

In total, NASCAR reported that Seth Eggert counted at least 30 cars that were involved in this massive crash. Obviously, this required a red flag, as the NASCAR Cup Series looked to set a record for the worst crash in the modern era.

About 14 lead-lap cars escaped damage. Coming out of the wreck, the running order for Jack Link’s 500 was Ryan Preece, Chastain, Chris Buescher, Christopher Bell, Eric Jones, Michael McDowell, Todd Gilliland, Chase Elliott, Alex Bowman, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., AJ Allmendinger, Cody Ware, Noah Gragson, Zane Smith and Austin Dillon, as recorded by The Athletic’s Jeff Gluck.

• DNFs from the Wreck: Bubba Wallace, Kyle Larson, Joey Logano, William Byron, Chad Fincham and Cole Custer

Logano, Custer, Blaney, Berry, Kyle Larson and Brad Keselowski all went to the garage with their cars requiring significant repairs. Larson’s No. 5 suffered damage late in the race and finished last. Logano (DNF) finished 39th, Custer (DNF) 38th, Blaney (DNF) 37th and Wallace 36th.

William Byron’s No. 24 car had to have a bent tie rod replaced, and it was determined that the car could not be repaired, ending his day. He finished Sunday’s race in 35th place.

While the No. 54 car of Ty Gibbs was able to run after the restart, his front tire blew out a few minutes later and he crashed into the wall. This was due to damage caused in the initial accident. He ended the day in the 34th minute.

Who won the NASCAR race today? Corey Day scored his first career win at Talladega after a back-and-forth in the closing laps in which Jesse Love lost the lead, setting off a battle between Creed, Corey Day and Sam Mayer that ended with a loss behind the leaders.

At the track known for “The Big One”, there was early chaos in Saturday’s O’Reilly Series race, with rookie Patrick Staropoli pushed loose during check-up and hitting the wall for race-changing damage on the first lap. After that, Talladega displayed some excellent racing with wild battles from start to finish.

Kyle Busch made headlines before this weekend’s NASCAR race at Kansas Speedway by suggesting he could get paid for comments he made earlier in the week about Denny Hamlin. Since Busch’s on-track performance isn’t adding anything to the feud, he’s now working behind the microphone.

In a recent interview, Busch said that Hamlin played the role of the villainous driver who is winning too much. However, they are not talking much, leaving Hamlin to “run his mouth” and say he “might have to face him again here soon” and that Busch has been “washed up” as a driver.

“He has his own podcast and he’s been running his mouth lately so he might be here again soon… He’s been telling me I’m tired and can’t drive anymore.”

RELATED: NASCAR Insider Highlights Kyle Busch’s Options in Free Agency

To set the record straight, Hamlin never said his former partner was washed up or could no longer drive. Instead, on last week’s episode of Actions Detrimental, the driver of the No. 11 car said Busch should “take it better” amid Richard Childress Racing’s ongoing struggles. Hamlin also said that anyone still holding out hope that Busch would regain his former glory as a consistent winner will be “very disappointed” because the 40-year-old “doesn’t know how to get speed out of a Next Gen car on a consistent basis.”

Hamlin, who has scored 12 Cup Series wins since his last trip to Victory Lane in Busch’s No. 8 car, also compared himself to Busch, saying he “can’t catch that guy’s helmet talent-wise”. Apparently, Bush didn’t hear that part of the segment. It’s also notable that when Busch was on the podcast last year, Hamlin credited him with developing his career.

RELATED: Denny Hamlin gives clear message on Kyle Busch’s struggles

Busch also revealed his “hate list” of fellow NASCAR drivers, which includes Carson Hocevar, Joey Logano, and Brad Keselowski. As with Hamlin, the only problem he may cause for them is when he’s going to lag, and probably not for the first time in that race.

NASCAR statistics support this. Over the last six races, Busch ranks 31st in average finishing position (25), which puts him well behind Hamlin (5.3, second), Keselowski (10.0, sixth), Hocevar (14.3, 13th) and even the struggling Logano (19.8, 21st).

RELATED: Kyle Busch winless streak, what’s happened since and before last win

Even in the last 15 races leading up to Talladega, Busch is 21st in average finishing position (20.6), while Hamlin is fifth (11.8), Keselowski is sixth (12.5), Logano is 12th (15.3), and even Hocevar (19.6) is slightly ahead of the future Hall of Famer. None of these drivers can really see Busch as a rival because he is not providing them any competition.

Busch’s frustration with RCR is obvious, but what has brought his struggles even more into the spotlight is that Dillon has been performing better than him this season. Both are forced to deal with RCR providing inadequate support, but the driver of the No. 3 car is handling it better and producing better results.

Notably, Hamlin did not respond to Busch’s weekend comments during Monday’s episode of Actions Detrimental. It will be interesting to see how things play out between the two drivers in the coming weeks, when Hamlin will inevitably tie Busch for a career Cup win and ultimately surpass him this season.

凯尔·布​​希 (Kyle Busch) 本周末在堪萨斯赛道 (Kansas Speedway) 纳斯卡 (NASCAR) 比赛之前成为头条新闻，他表示他可能会因本周早些时候发表的言论而对丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin) 进行报复。由于布希在赛道上的表现并没有增加任何不和，他现在在麦克风后面加倍努力。

在最近的一次采访中，布希表示，哈姆林已经扮演了赢得很多胜利的恶棍车手的角色。然而，他们并没有谈论太多，哈姆林可能会因为“乱说”并说布希作为一名车手“被洗白”而“很快再次在这里遇到”。

“他有自己的播客，最近他一直在胡言乱语，所以他可能很快就会再次在这里遇到……他一直告诉我，我已经精疲力竭了，不能再开车了。”

相关：纳斯卡内部人士透露凯尔·布希在自由球员市场的选择

为了纠正这一记录，哈姆林从未说过他的前队友已经被洗干净或不能再开车了。相反，在上周的《Actions Detrimental》节目中，11 号赛车的车手表示，在理查德·柴尔德里斯赛车队 (Richard Childress Racing) 持续陷入困境的情况下，布希应该“更好地掌控它”。哈姆林还表示，任何仍然期待布希重新夺回昔日冠军荣耀的人“都会非常失望”，因为这位 40 岁的人“不知道如何持续提高下一代汽车的速度”。

自从布希上次驾驶 8 号赛车驶入胜利车道以来，哈姆林已经取得了 12 场杯赛冠军，他还表示，在将自己与布希进行比较时，他“无法在天赋方面抓住这个家伙的头盔”。显然，布希没有听到这部分内容。还值得一提的是，去年布希在播客上时，哈姆林称赞他的职业发展。

相关：丹尼·哈姆林对凯尔·布希的挣扎提出了直言不讳的信息

布希还透露了他对 NASCAR 车手的“仇恨名单”，其中包括卡森·霍切瓦 (Carson Hocevar)、乔伊·洛加诺 (Joey Logano) 和布拉德·凯瑟洛夫斯基 (Brad Keselowski)。与哈姆林的情况一样，他能给他们带来的唯一问题是当他即将被圈时，甚至可能不是在那场比赛中第一次。

纳斯卡的统计数据证明了这一点。在过去的六场比赛中，布希的平均完赛名次（25）排名第 31，这使他远远落后于哈姆林（5.3，第二）、凯瑟洛夫斯基（10.0，第六）、霍切瓦尔（14.3，第 13），甚至落后于苦苦挣扎的洛加诺（19.8，第 21）。

相关：凯尔·布施连续不胜，上次胜利之后和之前发生了什么

即使回顾塔拉迪加之前的最后 15 场比赛，布希的平均完赛名次（20.6）也排名第 21，而哈姆林排名第五（11.8），凯瑟洛夫斯基排名第六（12.5），洛加诺排名第 12（15.3），甚至霍切瓦尔（19.6）也稍微领先于未来的名人堂成员。这些车手中没有一个人能真正将布施视为竞争对手，因为他没有为他们提供任何竞争。

Busch 对 RCR 的失望是显而易见的，但更让他的挣扎受到关注的是 Dillon 本赛季的表现超过了他。两人都被迫应对 RCR，给予他们足够的支持，但 3 号赛车的车手似乎处理得更好，并取得了更好的成绩。

值得注意的是，哈姆林没有回应布希周末在周一的《有害行动》节目中的评论。有趣的是，未来几周，哈姆林将不可避免地与布希并列职业杯冠军，并最终在本赛季超越他，看看两位车手之间的关系可能会受到怎样的影响，这将是一件很有趣的事情。

Just three weeks after NASCAR Truck Series team Kaulig Racing parted ways with driver Daniel Dye after making insensitive comments on a livestream in March, the recently reinstated driver will now find himself competing in multiple Cup Series races later this season.

Live Fast Motorsports announced Monday that Daniel Dye will drive the No. 78 car in four Cup Series races, including the Jack Link’s 500 this coming weekend at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.

RELATED: Daniel Dye, Kaulig Racing Part Ways

Even setting aside Dye’s suspension and insensitive comments, his results in the Truck Series and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series are an odd decision by Live Fast Motorsports. The 22-year-old driver has no experience in the Cup Series, and his results in the lower series do not guarantee a multi-race seat at the highest level.

He has raced 48 times in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, including The LEUNA at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 14. He finished 15th in that and has only finished in the top-20 in two of his three OARS races this year. In his last 21 races in that series, his average finishing position was 21.9.

In the Truck Series, he failed to finish in the top-12 in the three races before his suspension. Going back even further, his average finishing position was 16.44 with only one top-five finish (Talladega) in his last 13 Truck races.

As far as off-track, in addition to the insensitive comments, Dye was arrested in April 2022 while a student at Father Lopez Catholic High School and was charged with a felony, but that was later reduced to a misdemeanor.

As for why Dye is getting this ride with Live Fast Motorsports in the Cup Series, it’s worth noting that his father, Randy Dye, is a former pro late model driver who owns the Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram dealership in Daytona Beach and serves on the NASCAR Foundation’s board of directors. Money and influence certainly seem to have been heavy factors in the opportunity given to Dye.

就在纳斯卡卡车系列赛车队考利格车队与车手丹尼尔·戴伊分道扬镳的三周后，丹尼尔·戴伊在三月份的直播中发表了麻木不仁的言论，这位最近复职的车手现在发现自己将在本赛季晚些时候参加多场杯赛系列赛。

Live Fast Motorsports 周一宣布，Daniel Dye 将驾驶 78 号赛车参加四场杯赛系列赛，包括本周末在阿拉巴马州塔拉迪加超级赛道举行的 Jack Link’s 500 比赛。

相关：丹尼尔·戴伊（Daniel Dye），考利格赛车分道扬镳

即使将戴伊的悬挂和不敏感的评论放在一边，他在卡车系列赛和奥莱利汽车配件系列赛中的成绩也让 Live Fast Motorsports 做出了这个奇怪的决定。这位 22 岁的车手没有参加杯赛系列赛的经验，而且他在低级别系列赛中的成绩并不能完全保证获得最高级别的多场比赛席位。

他在 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series 比赛中参加了 48 场比赛，其中包括 3 月 14 日在拉斯维加斯赛车场举行的 The LiUNA 比赛。他在其中获得了第 15 名，并且在今年的三场 OARS 比赛中，仅两场进入了前 20 名。在该系列赛的最后 21 场比赛中，他的平均完赛名次为 21.9。

在卡车系列赛中，他在停赛前的三场比赛中均未能进入前 12 名。更进一步来说，他在过去 13 场卡车比赛中的平均名次只有 16.44，只有一次进入前五名（塔拉迪加）。

至于偏离正轨，除了他发表的麻木不仁的评论外，戴伊还在 2022 年 4 月就读神父洛佩兹天主教高中时被捕，并被指控殴打重罪，后来又降为轻罪。

至于为什么戴伊能在杯赛系列赛中与 Live Fast Motorsports 一起骑行，值得注意的是，他的父亲兰迪·戴伊 (Randy Dye) 是一名前 Pro Late Model 车手，拥有代托纳海滩的代托纳道奇克莱斯勒吉普公羊经销店，并担任 NASCAR 基金会的董事会成员。金钱和影响力似乎无疑是戴伊获得机会的重要因素。

Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway, the AdventHealth 400, was poised to be the first race of the season without a warning incident. Then with 2 laps remaining, Cody Ware lost control and brought out the first natural caution of the day, sending us to overtime.

Let’s take a look at our winners and losers from today’s NASCAR race at Kansas Speedway.

Winner: Kyle Larson

Kyle Larson has now not won a NASCAR Cup Series race in 11 months, without a trip to 33-race victory lane. It’s certainly disappointing for him, but he won Stage 2 on Sunday, giving him three stage wins in the last three races, and he has earned 39 stage points with third-place (Bristol) and second (Kansas) finishes during this two-race span. The last-lap loss to Tyler Reddick may not have lessened the sting, but the No. 5 team has scored more than 100 points in its last two races and Larson is preparing himself well for The Chase.

Loser: Kyle Busch

When Kyle Busch took some fire Saturday in response to comments made by Denny Hamlin, there were plenty of KFB chants and some on-track chaos was expected. Of course, the point of Busch threatening to make Hamlin’s life “hell” on the track was that the No. 8 car’s only chance would be if he went down a lap-plus. What happened at AdventHealth 400? With 25 laps to go in Stage 1, Hamlin easily passed the No. 8 car. Bush was not the problem; He was an afterthought for the driver of the No. 11 car. Lots of talk, no results. This seems quite appropriate from Bush. Heck, he finished the race today in 35th place, well behind his teammate Austin Dillon (16th).

RELATED: Kyle Busch hits back at Denny Hamlin after recent comments

Winner: 23XI Racing

Tyler Reddick is definitely a winner as he is on his way to victory at Kansas Speedway. Michael Jordan joins them for the fifth time in nine races. 23XI Racing has overtaken Team Penske as NASCAR’s third-best team at least this season. Reddick won the AdventHealth 400, Wallace finished fifth, and teammates Riley Herbst and Corey Heim also finished 14th and 15th respectively. When Reddick is keeping himself in Dale Earnhardt’s company, winning five of the first nine races, and two 23XI drivers sitting in the top eight in points, it’s hard not to call the team a big winner in 2026.

Loser: Trackhouse Racing

Through nine races this season, Daniel Suarez has a pair of top-10 finishes and seven top-20s. Meanwhile, at Trackhouse Racing, the trio of Shane Van Gisbergen, Connor Zylisch and Ross Chastain have combined for three top-10 finishes and 13 top-20 finishes between them. Chastain is definitely a top-10 driver in terms of talent, Zilich was a generational prospect a year ago and even SVG has proven himself in the Cup Series. Trackhouse is ruining them all. Things didn’t get any better in the NASCAR races today, with all three drivers finishing outside the top 20.

RELATED: NASCAR Drivers Who Have Performed Poorly This Season

Winner: Denny Hamlin

It wasn’t a perfect day for Denny Hamlin at Kansas, but he came somewhat close. Hamlin won Stage 1 and then finished second to Kyle Larson in Stage 2. He also could have won the AdventHealth 400 if not for the classic Cody Ware caution, with 2 laps left and the No. 11 being seconds away from the final lap, where he could have won it even under the caution. Hamlin said before the season that to have any shot at winning the championship you had to finish in the top three in points at the end of the regular season. Through nine races, he has a 33-point lead in fourth place, and he is looking to win more races this season.

RELATED: NASCAR Cup Series all-time wins leaders

Loser: Team Penske

The good news is that Team Penske made a much-needed change with Ryan Blaney’s pit crew this weekend. Unfortunately, the No. 12 car also received a pit road penalty for too many on the wall after Stage 1 as the team needed work on the front splitter. As far as what happened with Joey Logano, his car was tight all weekend and the No. 22 team was forced to drop to the back of the field for a steering rack replacement on Sunday. It did not work out, Logano was 24th in Stage 1 and 2 laps down at the conclusion of Stage 2. Penske is really proving this season that the gap between them and 23XI Racing is as close, if not even closer, than the gap between Penske and the clearly top teams (Joe Gibbs Racing and Hendrick Motorsports).

RELATED: NASCAR Cup Series Stage Winners 2026

Winner: Alex Bowman

After qualifying 33rd at Kansas on Saturday, it certainly felt like everything was going to go wrong for Alex Bowman this season, which will continue in the AdventHealth 400 this afternoon. Credit to Bowman and the No. 48 team; He gradually worked his way up the field to finish 17th in Stage 1 and Stage 2 and maintained a top 20 finish throughout the race. This kind of performance doesn’t open the door for Bowman to potentially make The Chase, but this performance shows he is still a very capable driver.

Loser: Carson Hocevar’s Pit Crew

The No. 77 car definitely had the speed to have a good day at Kansas Speedway and Carson Hocevar’s driving style seems perfect for this track. Unfortunately for Hocevar, his pit crew cost him dearly today. The No. 77 team had several instances where it lost positions on pit road because the No. 77 team was slow in its movements. Given the tight conditions of the battle for the final places in The Chase, a race like this could make the difference in whether Hocevar is successful or not. Hocevar finished the day in 13th place, with the likes of Ryan Preece and Chris Buescher ahead of him. We will see if these cases come up in September.

Winner: Corey Haim

Get ready to see Corey Haim in the coming weeks. This was his first Cup Series race in 2026 since the Daytona 500, but he is competing in seven races with 23XI Racing from now through July 27 at the Brickyard 400. Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 showed why and proved he’s already in this series full-time. He qualified 24th on Saturday, but battled hard to finish 10th in Stage 1 and has kept himself in the top 15 for most of NASCAR’s racing today. Coming to the Heim Time Cup Series.

周日在堪萨斯赛道举行的 NASCAR 杯系列赛 AdventHealth 400 有望成为本赛季第一场没有因事故警告的比赛。还剩两圈时，科迪·韦尔失去了控制，并发出了当天的第一个自然警告，将我们送入加时赛。

让我们深入了解今天在堪萨斯赛道举行的 NASCAR 比赛的赢家和输家。

获胜者：凯尔·拉尔森

凯尔·拉尔森 (Kyle Larson) 已经 11 个月没有赢得过 NASCAR 杯系列赛的胜利了，他已经参加了 33 场比赛，但从未踏上胜利之路。这对他来说当然是令人失望的，但他在周日赢得了第二赛段，使他在过去三场比赛中赢得了三个赛段胜利，并且他在这两场比赛中获得了 39 个赛段积分，获得了第三名（布里斯托尔）和第二名（堪萨斯）。这或许并不能消除最后一圈输给泰勒·雷迪克的痛苦，但这支排名第五的车队在过去两场比赛中已经积累了超过 100 分，拉尔森也为追逐赛做好了充分的准备。

失败者：凯尔·布希

周六，当凯尔·布希 (Kyle Busch) 对丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin) 的评论作出回应时，现场响起了很多 KFB 的口号，并希望赛道上会出现一些混乱。当然，布希威胁要让哈姆林在赛道上生活“地狱”的问题在于，8号赛车唯一的机会就是如果他落后一圈多。 AdventHealth 400 发生了什么？第一赛段还剩 25 圈时，哈姆林轻松超越了 8 号赛车。布施不是问题；他是11号车司机的事后才想到的。说了很多，没有结果。布施的说法似乎很合适。哦，他今天也以第 35 名完赛，远远落后于队友奥斯汀·狄龙（第 16 名）。

相关：凯尔·布希在最近发表评论后对丹尼·哈姆林进行了反击

获胜者：23XI Racing

泰勒·雷迪克（Tyler Reddick）无疑是胜利者，因为他处于堪萨斯赛道的胜利车道上。迈克尔·乔丹 (Michael Jordan) 在九场比赛中第五次加入他的行列。 23XI Racing 至少在本赛季已经超越 Team Penske，成为 NASCAR 中第三好的车队。雷迪克赢得了 AdventHealth 400，华莱士获得第五名，该队甚至让莱利·赫布斯特和科里·海姆背靠背获得第 14 名和第 15 名。当雷迪克与戴尔·恩哈特 (Dale Earnhardt) 并肩作战，赢得前 9 场比赛中的 5 场，并且两名 23XI 车手的积分位列前八时，很难不称车队为 2026 年的巨大赢家。

相关：内部人士透露与泰勒·雷迪克签订新合同的可能成本

失败者：田径场赛车

通过本赛季的九场比赛，丹尼尔·苏亚雷斯两次进入前十名，七次进入前二十名。与此同时，在 Trackhouse Racing，Shane van Gisbergen、Connor Zilisch 和 Ross Chastain 三人组合已 3 次进入前 10 名，其中 13 次进入前 20 名。就天赋而言，查斯坦可以说是前十名的车手，一年前，齐利什是一代人的新星，甚至 SVG 也已经在杯赛系列赛中证明了自己。 Trackhouse 正在浪费它们。今天的 NASCAR 比赛中情况并没有任何好转，所有三名车手都没有进入前 20 名。

相关：本赛季表现不佳的纳斯卡车手

获胜者：丹尼·哈姆林

对于堪萨斯队的丹尼·哈姆林来说，这并不是完美的一天，但他已经接近完美了。哈姆林赢得了第一赛段，然后在第二赛段落后于凯尔·拉尔森获得第二名。如果不是因为经典的科迪·韦尔（Cody Ware）的警告，他甚至可能赢得 AdventHealth 400 比赛，因为在还剩 2 圈时，距离最后一圈只有 11 秒的距离，他甚至可以在警告下赢得冠军。哈姆林在赛季前表示，你实际上需要在常规赛结束时得分前三，才有机会赢得冠军。在九场比赛中，他领先第四名 33 分，并且本赛季他将赢得更多比赛。

相关：纳斯卡杯系列赛历史上获胜最多的球队

失败者：潘斯克队

好消息是彭斯克车队本周末与瑞安·布莱尼 (Ryan Blaney) 的维修人员一起做出了急需的改变。不幸的是，由于车队需要对前分离器进行维修，12 号赛车在第一赛段后仍然因为翻墙人数过多而受到维修站处罚。至于乔伊·洛加诺（Joey Logano）的遭遇，整个周末他的赛车似乎都很紧张，迫使22号车队在周日掉到了场地后方，更换了转向架。但这并没有奏效，洛加诺在第一赛段排名第 24，在第二赛段结束时落后了 2 圈。Penske 在本赛季确实证明了他们与 23XI Racing 之间的差距，即使不是均匀，也比 Penske 与明显的顶级车队（Joe Gibbs Racing 和 Hendrick Motorsports）之间的差距要近得多。

相关：2026 年 NASCAR 杯系列赛阶段冠军

获胜者：亚历克斯·鲍曼

周六在堪萨斯州排位赛获得第 33 名后，亚历克斯·鲍曼 (Alex Bowman) 今天下午继续参加 AdventHealth 400 比赛，感觉这个赛季一切都会出问题。这要归功于鲍曼和第 48 号车队；他们在第一赛段和第二赛段中逐步取得了第 17 名的成绩，整场比赛都保持在前 20 名的位置。这样的表现并不一定会为鲍曼打开追逐之门，但这种表现确实表明他仍然是一位非常有能力的车手。

有关的： 2026 年 NASCAR 杯系列赛堪萨斯赛道之后的积分榜

失败者：卡森·霍切瓦尔的维修站工作人员

77 号赛车的速度确实足以在堪萨斯赛道上度过美好的一天，而卡森·霍切瓦 (Carson Hocevar) 的驾驶风格似乎非常适合这条赛道。对于霍切瓦尔来说不幸的是，他的维修站工作人员今天让他付出了惨重的代价。 77号车队曾多次因77号车队行动缓慢而在维修站道路上失去位置。考虑到追逐赛最后名额的争夺日益激烈，像这样的比赛可能会决定霍切瓦能否成功。 Hocevar 最终获得第 13 名，Ryan Preece 和 Chris Buescher 等人领先于他。我们将在九月份看看这是否重要。

获奖者：科里·海姆

准备好在接下来的几周内见到很多科里·海姆。这是他自 Daytona 500 以来 2026 年首次参加杯赛系列比赛，但从现在到 7 月 27 日，他将在 Brickyard 400 中与 23XI Racing 一起参加七场比赛。周日的 AdventHealth 400 展示了原因，并证明他已经完全属于这个系列赛。他在周六的排位赛中取得了第 24 名，但在第一阶段的比赛中一路奋战，取得了第 10 名的成绩，并且在今天 NASCAR 比赛的大部分比赛中，他都保持在前 15 名之内。杯赛系列赛即将迎来海姆时间。

We’re in the race for eight points in the 2026 NASCAR season for the Cup Series before this weekend’s action at Kansas Speedway. While there is still more than 2/3 of the season left, we can look at some NASCAR stats to highlight the drivers who have disappointed so far.

Let’s take a look at the list of NASCAR drivers who have not lived up to expectations this season. Team performance could certainly play a role in these drivers’ contention in 2026, but the point is that these drivers are not performing up to the expected standard.

Connor Zylisch

No one with any reasonable expectation thought Connor Zylisch would make The Chase in his rookie season. The learning curve in the Cup Series is too steep to be met. However, we had some hope early in the season when he was at the front of the field at the Daytona 500 and Echopark. Wrecks took him out and following COTA, where two spins resulted in a 14th-place finish, he finished 26th or worse in four of his last five races (18th at Darlington). Zyllic’s future is still bright and he could win a road-course race this year, but it’s not a good look for Trackhouse nor the No. 88 team when Zyllic is 33rd in points and Daniel Suarez would be in The Chase if the regular season ended today.

kyle busch

We agree with Denny Hamlin: Anyone expecting Kyle Busch to turn back the clock and become KFB again will have to either invent a time machine or let go of the past. Richard Childress Racing isn’t doing Busch any favors, but let’s also keep in mind that Busch now has multiple crew chiefs with the No. 8 team. Furthermore, he’s barely performing any better than teammate Austin Dillon, and the driver of the No. 3 car isn’t making as much of a fuss nor is he venting his frustrations on everyone around him. Bush’s winless streak has reached three digits, and there is no reason to think it will end in 2026. As far as numbers go, Bush’s average finishing position (22.0) is worse than Daniel Suarez (16.3), SVG (19.9), AJ Allmendinger (19.4), Zane Smith (20.3) and Eric Jones (20.4).

RELATED: Kyle Busch winless streak, things that happened before and after the win

Ross Chastain

One theme of this list has been the disappointment of NASCAR drivers with trackhouse racing. This probably says a lot more about the team than Zilleisch and Ross Chastain. As for Chastain, she finished the 2025 season with the 12th-highest average finishing position (15.8) thanks to her eighth-most top 20 finishes (26). While we’re only 8 races into the 2026 campaign, Chastain’s average finishing position has dropped to 19.375 and she’s finished in the top 10 just once (Atlanta). We’re not questioning Chastain’s talent, she may perform better on a stronger team. Unfortunately, the trackhouse situation has made this season very disappointing for him and there is no reason to think a turnaround is imminent.

chase brisco

Chase Briscoe is starting to dig himself out of the hole he found himself in just a few weeks ago. A second-place finish at Echopark (43 points) was followed by three races where he finished 36th or worse and only scored 4 points overall. He also finished outside the top-10 at Darlington and Martinsville, largely a result of starting 23rd and 27th in the respective races. This is not what we expected from a guy who won three races in his first season with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2025, even taking the No. 19 team to the championship 4. The statistics aren’t great for Briscoe at present, but he is improving and what he has shown as a driver over the past calendar year suggests he will bounce back.

RELATED: NASCAR predictions for Kansas, including Chase Briscoe

kyle larson

Kyle Larson has not won 32 consecutive Cup Series races. The winless drought seems shocking for a man considered by many to be the best driver in the world. Well, Larson last reached victory lane a year ago in the spring race at Kansas Speedway, which he completely dominated. Although he has since won the 2025 Cup Series championship, it seems strange that he has not even finished second in this season’s race. We’d say, Larson’s history of excellence and the fact that he’s second in laps led (421) this season all suggest that victory is imminent for the No. 5 team. However, this season has been a bit disappointing so far.

在本周末堪萨斯赛道比赛之前，我们已经完成了 2026 年 NASCAR 赛季杯系列赛的八场积分赛。虽然赛季还有超过 2/3 的时间，但我们可以看一下 NASCAR 的一些统计数据，以突出那些迄今为止令人失望的车手。

让我们深入了解一下本赛季未达到预期的 NASCAR 车手名单。车队的表现肯定会对这些车手在 2026 年的困境中发挥作用，但问题仍然是这些车手的表现没有达到预期的标准。

康纳·齐利什

没有人有任何合理的期望，认为康纳·齐利什会在新秀赛季成为追逐者。杯赛系列赛的学习曲线太陡，无法实现这一目标。然而，我们在赛季初期确实抱有一些希望，当时他在代托纳 500 英里赛和 EchoPark 比赛中都处于领先位置。 Wrecks 把他淘汰出局，在 COTA 比赛中两次旋转导致他获得第 14 名，他在过去 5 场比赛中的 4 场中只获得了 26 名或更差的成绩（在达灵顿获得第 18 名）。 Zilisch 的未来仍然光明，他今年可能会赢得一场公路赛，但对于 Trackhouse 和 88 号车队来说，这都不是一个好兆头，因为 Zilisch 的积分排名第 33 位，而如果常规赛今天结束，丹尼尔·苏亚雷斯 (Daniel Suarez) 将进入 The Chase。

凯尔·布​​施

我们倾向于同意丹尼·哈姆林（Denny Hamlin）的观点：任何期望凯尔·布希（Kyle Busch）让时光倒流并再次成为 KFB 的人要么需要发明一台时间机器，要么就让过去过去。理查德·柴尔德里斯车队并没有给布希带来任何好处，但我们也要记住，布希现在已经在 8 号车队中有多名车队负责人。此外，他的表现仅仅比队友奥斯汀·狄龙 (Austin Dillon) 差一点，而且 3 号赛车的车手也没有那么大吵大闹，也没有将自己的挫败感发泄到周围的每个人身上。布施的不胜纪录已经达到了三位数，而且没有理由认为这种情况会在 2026 年结束。就数据而言，布施的平均完赛名次（22.0）比丹尼尔·苏亚雷斯（16.3）、SVG（19.9）、AJ Allmendinger（19.4）、赞恩·史密斯（20.3）和埃里克·琼斯（20.4）要差。

罗斯查斯坦

这份名单的一个主题是，Trackhouse Racing 的 NASCAR 车手令人失望。它可能比 Zilisch 和 Ross Chastain 更能说明团队本身。至于查斯坦，他在 2025 赛季结束时以平均排名第 12 位（15.8）的成绩结束了，这得益于他在前 20 名中排名第八（26）。虽然距离 2026 年赛季还剩 8 场比赛，但查斯坦的平均完赛名次已降至 19.375，并且他仅一次进入前十名（亚特兰大）。我们并不是质疑查斯坦的天赋，他在一支更强的球队中可以表现得更好。不幸的是，Trackhouse 的情况让他在这个赛季表现得非常平淡，没有理由认为他即将迎来转机。

蔡斯·布里斯科

蔡斯·布里斯科（Chase Briscoe）正开始从几周前陷入的困境中挣扎出来。在 EchoPark 获得第二名（43 分）之后，他在三场比赛中获得了 36 名或更差的成绩，总共只获得 4 分。他还在达灵顿和马丁斯维尔的比赛中未能进入前十名，这主要是因为他在两场比赛中分别以第 23 名和第 27 名出发。对于一个在 2025 年加入 Joe Gibbs Racing 的第一个赛季赢得三场比赛，甚至让第 19 号车队进入锦标赛 4 的人来说，这不是我们所期望的。布里斯科目前的数据并不好，但他正在进步，他在过去一年中作为车手所表现出的表现表明他将会反弹。

凯尔·拉尔森

凯尔·拉尔森 (Kyle Larson) 已连续 32 场杯赛系列赛未获胜。对于一个被许多人认为是世界上最好的车手的人来说，无胜的干旱让人感到震惊。恰如其分的是，拉尔森最后一次进入堪萨斯赛道的胜利通道是在一年前的春季比赛中，他完全占据了主导地位。虽然他后来赢得了 2025 年杯赛系列赛冠军，但奇怪的是他本赛季甚至没有在一场比赛中获得第二名。我们可以说，拉尔森的卓越历史以及他本赛季领先圈数排名第二（421圈）的事实都表明，排名第五的车队即将获胜。不过，就目前而言，这个赛季的表现有点平淡。

休息一周后，2026 年最佳 NASCAR 车手于周日重返布里斯托尔赛车场赛道，参加本赛季的第八场积分赛。我们本赛季第五次迎来了新的获胜者，随着蔡斯·埃利奥特和威廉·拜伦等人的挣扎，我们的前 10 名车手发生了变化。

让我们深入了解布里斯托尔之后的最新 NASCAR 实力排名。与往常一样，当我们评估目前最好的 NASCAR 车手时，最新的比赛（Food City 500）和最近的五到六场比赛在排名中占据重要地位。然而，对于最近可能陷入困境的顶级车手来说，这会带来一些好处。

1.泰勒·雷迪克（先前：1）

泰勒·雷迪克终于在短道速赛上驱除心中的恶魔了吗？他在布里斯托尔没有获得赛段积分，但 45 号赛车的车手在赛道类型上克服了超速处罚，最终获得第四名。这是他本赛季第五次进入前五名，另外四次当然都是胜利。 45 号赛车还在布里斯托尔取得了第二名，仅次于瑞安·布莱尼 (Ryan Blaney)。如果雷迪克真正解决了短道速滑的问题，他可能是赢得追逐赛的热门人选。

2.瑞安·布莱尼（Ryan Blaney）（此前：3）

瑞安·布莱尼 (Ryan Blaney) 拥有布里斯托尔赛车场最快的赛车。事实上，12 号赛车可能是本赛季八场比赛中速度最快的赛车，而布莱尼的比赛水平与雷迪克相当，杯赛系列赛的胜利遥遥领先。不幸的是，他还面临着 NASCAR 中最差的维修站工作人员。现在，12 号车队在美食城 500 大赛中遇到的更多问题是布莱尼本赛季在维修站道路上失去 90 多个位置的原因；这支球队已经是灾难性的了。如果做出改变并且有效，布莱尼将在 2026 年赢得五场比赛。

3.泰·吉布斯（之前：4）

两周前，我们将泰·吉布斯 (Ty Gibbs) 在 NASCAR 实力排名中上升至第四位，现在他赢得了他的首个杯赛系列赛冠军。周日在布里斯托尔的胜利之路上，他的一切都是他赢得的。 54 号赛车早早陷入困境，在第一赛段获得第 13 名，之后他一路奋战回到赛场，并为车队在最后一次警告后将赌注置于轮胎上做好了准备。它得到了回报，吉布斯在加时赛中阻止了凯尔·拉尔森和瑞安·布莱尼（两次）。在过去的六场比赛中，吉布斯的成绩不低于第六名，并且在此期间他以 4.0 的平均成绩领先于杯赛系列赛。

4. 丹尼·哈姆林（之前：2）

丹尼·哈姆林在布里斯托尔度过了美好的一天，获得第 9 名并获得第五高积分（41 分）。但显然，对于未来的名人堂成员来说，“好”还远远不够。 11 号赛车的速度确实无法与 Blaney 或 Kyle Larson 相媲美。甚至他的队友泰·吉布斯也拥有更好的赛车。哈姆林不会因为他在马丁斯维尔的最后两场比赛中取得的成绩而感到高兴，但对他来说重要的是他在过去五场比赛中的得分（240）领先于杯赛系列赛。

相关：纳斯卡杯系列赛历史上获胜最多的球队

5.凯尔·拉尔森（之前：8）

凯尔·拉尔森显然没有在周日的布里斯托尔比赛中获得他想要的胜利，但他表现出了更多的统治力和速度，正如你对亨德里克赛车运动的 5 号赛车所期望的那样。本赛季他进入美食城 500 英里赛时没有取得任何赛段胜利，但他在周日在布里斯托尔赢得了两场比赛的胜利，这让他在当天获得了第二高的积分（54 分）。他最近的表现有些异常（达灵顿第 32 名），但除此之外，他在过去五场比赛中的平均完赛名次为 5.6。仍然让人感到疯狂的是，他已经近一年没有赢得过杯赛系列赛了。

相关：Food City 500 之后的 NASCAR 排名

6.克里斯托弗·贝尔（Christopher Bell）（此前：7）

在周六的排位赛中获得第 14 名后，克里斯托弗·贝尔 (Christopher Bell) 在周日的第一赛段中一路奋战，取得了第二名的成绩，并且他的速度似乎能够在整场比赛中与拉尔森和布莱尼保持一致。然后他受到了超速处罚，掉到了场地的后面，当汽车松动并旋转时，损坏确保了他没有机会爬回来。这是贝尔在过去三场比赛中第二次获得第 19 名或更差的成绩。然而，即便如此，他在过去六场比赛中的平均完赛名次（10.3）仍然排名第六，领先第四多圈数（207）。我们非常愿意忽略周日在布里斯托尔的小挫折，因为贝尔的表现一直像目前最好的 NASCAR 车手之一。

7. 蔡斯·埃利奥特（Chase Elliott）（此前：5）

无论亨德里克赛车运动公司为布里斯托尔第 24 名和第 9 名车队制定了什么计划，都应该被扔进垃圾桶，永远不会再被重新审视。两周前在马丁斯维尔取得胜利后，蔡斯·埃利奥特在排位赛中获得第 18 名，并在布里斯托尔获得第 22 名。他甚至没有嗅到赛段积分，这对第九队来说是一天的巨大浪费。我们知道埃利奥特的能力，但令人担忧的是，他本赛季已经两次进入前 20 名之外，而直到去年 8 月才一次进入前 20 名。我们还会注意到，自 2025 赛季以来，埃利奥特六次进入前 20 名之外的成绩都是自 8 月份以来发生的，因此球迷确实有理由对结果感到不满。

8.威廉·拜伦（先前：6）

没有人告诉我们 24 号球队要休息两周。就是这样发生的，对吧？这是我们的假设，因为威廉·拜伦 (William Byron) 在周六的排位赛中获得了第 30 名，然后从后方出发，因此车队可以尝试对转向系统进行更改。结果怎么样？他落后了五圈，只得到了七分。我们愿意将其视为相当于 24 号车队的 DNF，但令人费解的是，这辆车在本周末的设置有多糟糕。

9. Chase Briscoe（以前：未排名）

在本赛季的前四场比赛中，蔡斯·布里斯科 (Chase Briscoe) 有 3 次获得第 36 名或更差的成绩，最终只获得了 4 分。他现在已经距离 The Chase 的第 16 位不远了。周日在布里斯托尔取得的第五名是他自 EchoPark 以来最好的成绩，过去五周（四场比赛）他每场比赛平均得分 32.3 分。如果第 19 名的车队能够摆脱系统中的所有灾难，布里斯科可能会迅速提升 NASCAR 实力排名。

10. Ryan Preece（以前：未排名）

瑞安·普里斯（Ryan Preece）最近在这里取得了不错的成绩。周日，他在布里斯托尔获得第八名，这是他自回声公园（第九名）以来首次进入前十名。过去五周，一致性一直是他的主题，他在所有五场比赛中都获得了第 13 名或更好的成绩就证明了这一点。 RFK Racing 目前还没有掀起任何大波澜，但 Preece 和 Brad Keselowski 正在为 The Chase 的席位做好准备。

休息一周後，2026 年最佳 NASCAR 車手於週日重返布里斯托爾賽車場賽道，參加本賽季的第八場積分賽。我們本賽季第五次迎來了新的獲勝者，隨著蔡斯·埃利奧特和威廉·拜倫等人的掙扎，我們的前 10 名車手發生了變化。

讓我們深入了解布里斯托爾之後的最新 NASCAR 實力排名。像往常一樣，當我們評估目前最好的 NASCAR 車手時，最新的比賽（Food City 500）和最近的五到六場比賽在排名中佔據重要地位。然而，對於最近可能陷入困境的頂級車手來說，這會帶來一些好處。

1.泰勒·雷迪克（先前：1）

泰勒雷迪克終於在短道速賽上驅除心中的惡魔了嗎？他在布里斯托沒有獲得賽段積分，但 45 號賽車的車手在賽道類型上克服了超速處罰，最終獲得第四名。這是他本賽季第五次進入前五名，另外四次當然都是勝利。 45 號賽車還在布里斯托爾取得了第二名，僅次於瑞安·布萊尼 (Ryan Blaney)。如果雷迪克真正解決了短道速滑的問題，他可能是贏得追逐賽的熱門人選。

2.瑞安·布萊尼（Ryan Blaney）（先前：3）

瑞安布萊尼 (Ryan Blaney) 擁有布里斯托賽車場最快的賽車。事實上，12 號賽車可能是本賽季八場比賽中速度最快的賽車，而布萊尼的比賽水平與雷迪克相當，杯賽系列賽的勝利遙遙領先。不幸的是，他還面臨著 NASCAR 中最糟糕的維修站工作人員。現在，12 號車隊在美食城 500 大賽中遇到的更多問題是布萊尼本賽季在維修站道路上失去 90 多個位置的原因；這支球隊已經是災難性的了。如果做出改變並且有效，布萊尼將在 2026 年贏得五場比賽。

3.泰·吉布斯（之前：4）

兩週前，我們將泰·吉布斯 (Ty Gibbs) 在 NASCAR 實力排名中上升至第四位，現在他贏得了他的首個杯賽系列賽冠軍。週日在布里斯託的勝利之路上，他的一切都是他贏得的。 54 號賽車早早陷入困境，在第一賽段獲得第 13 名，之後他一路奮戰回到賽場，並為車隊在最後一次警告後將賭注置於輪胎上做好了準備。它得到了回報，吉布斯在加時賽中阻止了凱爾·拉爾森和瑞安·布萊尼（兩次）。在過去的六場比賽中，吉布斯的成績不低於第六名，並且在此期間他以 4.0 的平均成績領先於杯賽系列賽。

4. 丹尼‧哈姆林（之前：2）

丹尼·哈姆林在布里斯托爾度過了美好的一天，獲得第 9 名並獲得第五高積分（41 分）。但顯然，對於未來的名人堂成員來說，「好」還遠遠不夠。 11 號賽車的速度確實無法與 Blaney 或 Kyle Larson 相媲美。甚至他的隊友泰·吉布斯也擁有更好的賽車。哈姆林不會因為他在馬丁斯維爾的最後兩場比賽中取得的成績而感到高興，但對他來說重要的是他在過去五場比賽中的得分（240）領先於杯賽系列賽。

相關：納斯卡盃系列賽史上獲勝最多的球隊

5.凱爾·拉爾森（之前：8）

凱爾·拉爾森顯然沒有在周日的布里斯托爾比賽中獲得他想要的勝利，但他表現出了更多的統治力和速度，正如你對亨德里克賽車運動的 5 號賽車所期望的那樣。本賽季他進入美食城 500 英里賽時沒有任何賽段勝利，但他在周日在布里斯托爾贏得了兩場比賽的勝利，這讓他在當天獲得了第二高的積分（54 分）。他最近的表現有些異常（達靈頓第 32 名），但除此之外，他在過去五場比賽中的平均完賽名次為 5.6。仍然讓人感到瘋狂的是，他已經近一年沒有贏得杯賽系列賽了。

6.克里斯多福貝爾（Christopher Bell）（先前：7）

在周六的排位賽中獲得第 14 名後，克里斯托弗·貝爾 (Christopher Bell) 在周日的第一賽段中一路奮戰，取得了第二名的成績，並且他的速度似乎能夠在整場比賽中與拉爾森和布萊尼保持一致。然後他受到了超速處罰，掉到了場地的後面，當汽車鬆動並旋轉時，損壞確保了他沒有機會爬回來。這是貝爾在過去三場比賽中第二次獲得第 19 名或更差的成績。然而，即便如此，他在過去六場比賽中的平均完賽名次（10.3）仍然排名第六，領先第四多圈數（207）。我們非常願意忽略週日在布里斯托爾的小挫折，因為貝爾的表現一直像目前最好的 NASCAR 車手之一。

7. 蔡斯·艾利奧特（Chase Elliott）（先前：5）

無論亨德里克賽車運動公司為布里斯托爾第 24 和第 9 名車隊制定了什麼計劃，都應該被扔進垃圾桶，永遠不會再被重新審視。兩週前在馬丁斯維爾取得勝利後，蔡斯·埃利奧特在排位賽中獲得第 18 名，並在布里斯托爾獲得第 22 名。他甚至沒有嗅到賽段積分，這對第九隊來說是一天的巨大浪費。我們知道埃利奧特的能力，但令人擔憂的是，他本賽季已經兩次進入前 20 名之外，直到去年 8 月才一次進入前 20 名。我們還會注意到，自 2025 賽季以來，埃利奧特六次進入前 20 名之外的成績都是自 8 月以來發生的，因此球迷確實有理由對結果感到不滿。

8.威廉·拜倫（先前：6）

沒有人告訴我們 24 號球隊要休息兩週。就是這樣發生的，對吧？這是我們的假設，因為威廉·拜倫 (William Byron) 在周六的排位賽中獲得了第 30 名，然後從後方出發，因此車隊可以嘗試對轉向系統進行更改。結果怎麼樣？他落後了五圈，只得到了七分。我們願意將其視為相當於 24 號車隊的 DNF，但令人費解的是，這輛車在本週末的設置有多糟糕。

9. Chase Briscoe（以前：未排名）

在本賽季的前四場比賽中，蔡斯·布里斯科 (Chase Briscoe) 有 3 次獲得第 36 名或更差的成績，最終只獲得了 4 分。他現在已經距離 The Chase 的第 16 位不遠了。週日在布里斯托爾取得的第五名是他自 EchoPark 以來最好的成績，過去五週（四場比賽）他每場比賽平均得分 32.3 分。如果第 19 名的車隊能夠擺脫系統中的所有災難，布里斯科可能會迅速提升 NASCAR 實力排名。

10. Ryan Preece（以前：未排名）

瑞安·普里斯（Ryan Preece）最近在這裡取得了不錯的成績。週日，他在布里斯托爾獲得第八名，這是他自迴聲公園（第九名）以來首次進入前十名。過去五週，一致性一直是他的主題，他在所有五場比賽中都獲得了第 13 名或更好的成績就證明了這一點。 RFK Racing 目前還沒有掀起任何大波瀾，但 Preece 和 Brad Keselowski 正在為 The Chase 的席位做好準備。

周日在布里斯托赛车场举行的福德城 500 大赛上演了凯尔·拉尔森 (Kyle Larson)、瑞安·布莱尼 (Ryan Blaney) 和丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin) 等人所期待的那种统治性比赛。然而，我们在今天的杯赛系列赛中确实得到了一些惊喜，克里斯托弗·贝尔和威廉·拜伦等追逐者的竞争者在接近后面的位置完成了比赛。另外，多亏了凯尔·布希（Kyle Busch）对泰·吉布斯（Ty Gibbs）的回报，我们在布里斯托尔得到了加时赛。

今天让我们深入了解 NASCAR 美食城 500 强赛的成绩。我们在下面列出了布里斯托尔的 NASCAR 杯系列赛阶段成绩，但我们将从总积分和完整的美食城 500 强赛成绩开始。

让我们深入了解今天 NASCAR 比赛的赢家和输家。

获胜者：泰勒·雷迪克克服短道恶魔

赛季初取得四场胜利固然很棒，但泰勒·雷迪克只有在短距离赛道上有所进步，才能成为纳斯卡杯系列赛冠军。他和 45 号车队两周前在马丁斯维尔就知道这一点，但从第八名出发却最终获得第 15 名。

雷迪克驱除恶魔的迹象在周六首次出现，当时他在排位赛中取得了第二好成绩。当重要的时候，他将这一点带入了赛道上的成功，甚至在周日克服了超速处罚，获得了第四名。如果这一点能够延续到其他短道赛道上，那么 23XI Racing 就有了一个合法的冠军争夺者。

相关：今天 NASCAR 在 Food City 500 之后的排名

失败者：William Byron 和 24 号队的布里斯托尔周末

威廉·拜伦和 24 号球队的麻烦在这个周末立即显现出来。由于赛车训练繁重，在弯道中挣扎，他在 Food City 500 的排位赛中获得第 34 名，排位赛时间第四慢。在起步位置如此糟糕的情况下，车队通过改变转向系统来承受掉到场地后面的打击。拜伦在第一赛段只落后了 40 圈。这对于 24 号车队来说是灾难性的一天，但好消息是今天的 NASCAR 比赛是他们整个赛季第一次没有获得 25 分以上的分数。

获胜者：轮胎策略为 Josh Berry 和 21 号车队带来了早期回报

进入周日，布里斯托尔赛车场的轮胎磨损肯定仍然存在一些不确定性。这意味着车队必须冒一些风险，与赛场上的其他车队对抗，这就是 21 号车队在第一赛段所做的。在第一次警告后，乔什·贝里 (Josh Berry) 没有进站，21 号赛车留在了赛段的最后一段路程。他们因这场赌博而得到了回报。贝里在第一阶段获得第五名（积六分），在第二阶段获得第六名，多积五分。在最后阶段，21号选手稍微有点松动，随后的碰撞使他撞到了墙上，这实际上使他在当天余下的时间里无法进入前30名。如果没有这些阶段的成绩，贝里只能得到六分。相反，他得到了 16 分。考虑到今天参加 NASCAR 比赛，贝里的积分排名第 25 位，落后丹尼尔·苏亚雷斯 55 分，获得这 11 个赛段积分对于一支已经在追逐争夺中苦苦挣扎的球队来说可能会挽救赛季。

失败者：第一阶段后的克里斯托弗·贝尔

布里斯托尔的第一赛段对于 20 号赛车而言表现非常出色。在周六的排位赛中获得第 14 名后，克里斯托弗·贝尔 (Christopher Bell) 一路冲到第二位，他的赛车似乎有能力在布里斯托尔赛车场挑战凯尔·拉尔森 (Kyle Larson) 的胜利。它走下坡路很快。贝尔在维修站道路上超速行驶后被抛到了场地后方。当他遇到交通堵塞时，20 号车松动、旋转，撞到墙上，需要进行重大维修。贝尔在第二赛段中点之前就落后了 4 圈，他连续 5 次进入前 20 名的记录在周日结束，其中四次进入前七名。这些阶段积分帮助他避免了在布里斯托尔遭遇更大的积分灾难。

获胜者：凯尔·拉森 (Kyle Larson) 共同拥有布里斯托尔

布里斯托尔赛车场正式归 Speedway Motorsports 所有。凯尔·拉森 (Kyle Larson) 值得拥有该赛道的部分股份。 5 号赛车在 Food City 500 的大部分比赛中真正占据主导地位，轻松赢得两个赛段（20 分），并在整场比赛的一半以上（285 圈）中领先。在拉斯维加斯之外，按照拉尔森的精英标准，这是一个相当安静的赛季。周日展示了他有多么伟大。不幸的是，对于拉尔森来说，两个轮胎的最后进站并没有成功。

失败者：亚历克斯·鲍曼的霉运仍在继续

本周，当亚历克斯·鲍曼 (Alex Bowman) 将驾驶 48 号赛车回归时，NASCAR 的每个人都非常高兴。在因眩晕问题缺席四场比赛后，鲍曼回到了他拥有良好历史的赛道。进行追逐可能是不可能的，但至少他可以开始串联良好的比赛。不幸的是，对于鲍曼来说，在这个似乎一切都出了问题的赛季中，这再次脱离了他的控制。在第二赛段初期，肖恩·范·吉斯伯根 (Shane van Gisbergen) 松手并开始旋转。当约翰·亨特·内梅切克 (John Hunter Nemechek) 猛拉他的车试图避开车祸时，他将车直接驶入 48 号公路。鲍曼 (Bowman) 的车撞到墙上，并被托德·吉利兰 (Todd Gilliland) 从后面撞到。这对他来说就是这样的一年。

获胜者：泰·吉布斯篮板，赢得首个杯赛冠军

向 Ty Gibbs 和 54 号球队致敬。在周六取得第五快的排位赛成绩后，吉布斯周日在美食城 500 英里赛中早早就开始摔倒，并以第 13 名结束了第一阶段。 54 号车的改变让他再次出发，一旦他对赛车有了正确的感觉和控制力，他就在第二赛段重新回到第七位（4 分），并带着这种势头进入了最后赛段。

随着布莱尼（4 个轮胎）和拉尔森（2 个轮胎）在倒数第二次重新开始时轮胎磨损，吉布斯首次获得胜利。他本来就处于有利位置，直到凯尔·布希（Kyle Busch）对莱利·赫布斯特（Riley Herbst）进行了报复，引起了警告并迫使加时赛。不管怎样，吉布斯仍然在正面交锋中击败了布莱尼，赢得了他的首个杯赛系列赛胜利。哦，顺便说一句，他连续六场比赛都获得了第六名或更好的成绩。

失败者：瑞安·布莱尼的维修站人员

潘世奇团队什么时候必须做出改变？瑞安·布莱尼（Ryan Blaney）的维修站工作人员整个赛季都是一个问题，最臭名昭著的是更换轮胎的问题，这导致他失去了位置，并迫使他进站到队友的包厢进行紧急修复。即使休息一周后，潘斯克也没有改变任何事情。那么，布里斯托尔发生了什么？

赢得杆位后，布莱尼的维修站工作人员在前两个赛段后的进站中遇到了问题，12 号赛车在维修站路外失去了多个位置。布莱尼再次在这方面表现出色，以至于他找到了一种方法仍然能够取得令人难以置信的成绩。在这一点上这是不可原谅的；正如广播中指出的那样，布莱尼在维修站道路上比本赛季第二差的球队失去了 30 多个位置。

获胜者：乔伊·洛加诺 (Joey Logano) 使其成为积分日

本周早些时候，乔伊·洛加诺 (Joey Logano) 在 The Gluckcast 上表示，这种赛制成功的关键是强调双赢，并在以积分为目标的比赛中表现出色。周六在布里斯托尔的排位赛中获得第 20 名后，第 22 名车队非常清楚，世界上所有的调整都不会让这辆赛车成为赢得比赛的赛车。

因此，洛加诺将这一天定为强项日。在第一赛段获得第 25 名后，他在第二赛段获得第八名并获得 3 个赛段积分，并保住自己的位置，最终获得第七名。像这样的表演往往不会引起人们的注意，但它们可以在几个月后产生巨大的影响。

失败者：理查德·柴尔德里斯赛车队

本赛季我们并不是凯尔·布施 (Kyle Busch) 的最大支持者，周日在布里斯托尔，他的 101 场比赛不胜纪录仍在继续。话虽如此，现在真正尴尬的是理查德·柴尔德里斯赛车队。布希和奥斯汀·狄龙当天的大部分时间都在前 20 名之外，只是为了避免落后一圈。

当你被困在人群中间时会发生什么？如果你稍微松一点，你的车自然会被你后面的车撞到，就像我们在最后赛段早些时候看到布希发生的那样。这支曾经是一支传奇的车队，很大程度上是因为传奇车手的缘故，现在却在比赛周末被人们遗忘。获胜和入围制度确实是近年来唯一让 RCR 季后赛变得有意义的东西，现在它已经消失了，好吧，我们只能说没有人会在 The Chase 的手表上拥有 RCR 车手。

今天下午，我們在布里斯托爾賽車場舉辦了一場精彩的 Food City 500 比賽，泰·吉布斯 (Ty Gibbs) 贏得了他的首個杯賽系列賽冠軍。它在加時賽中擊敗了凱爾·拉爾森和瑞安·布萊尼，這只是布里斯托爾這場精彩比賽的錦上添花。

讓我們深入了解今天 NASCAR 比賽的贏家和輸家。

獲勝者：泰勒·雷迪克克服短道惡魔

賽季初取得四場勝利固然很棒，但泰勒雷迪克只有在短距離賽道上有所進步，才能成為納斯卡盃系列賽冠軍。他和 45 號車隊兩週前在馬丁斯維爾就知道這一點，但從第八名出發卻最終獲得第 15 名。

雷迪克驅除惡魔的跡像在週六首次出現，當時他在排位賽中取得了第二好成績。當重要的時候，他將這一點帶入了賽道上的成功，甚至在周日克服了超速處罰，獲得了第四名。如果這一點能夠延續到其他短道賽道上，那麼 23XI Racing 就有了一個合法的冠軍爭奪者。

威廉拜倫和 24 號球隊的麻煩在這個週末立即顯現出來。由於賽車訓練繁重，在彎道中掙扎，他在 Food City 500 的排位賽中獲得第 34 名，排位賽時間第四慢。在起步位置如此糟糕的情況下，車隊透過改變轉向系統來承受掉到場地後面的打擊。拜倫在第一賽段只落後了 40 圈。這對 24 號車隊來說是災難性的一天，但好消息是今天的 NASCAR 比賽是他們整個賽季第一次沒有獲得 25 分以上的分數。

獲勝者：輪胎策略為 Josh Berry 和 21 號車隊帶來了早期回報

進入周日，布里斯托賽車場的輪胎磨損肯定仍然存在一些不確定性。這意味著車隊必須冒一些風險，與賽場上的其他車隊對抗，而這就是 21 號車隊在第一賽段所做的。在第一次警告後，喬什·貝裡 (Josh Berry) 沒有進站，21 號賽車留在了賽段的最後一段路程。他們因這場賭博而得到了回報。貝裡在第一階段獲得第五名（積六分），在第二階段獲得第六名，多積五分。在最後階段，21號選手稍微有點鬆動，隨後的碰撞使他撞到了牆上，這實際上使他在當天餘下的時間裡無法進入前30名。如果沒有這些階段的成績，貝裡只能得到六分。相反，他得到了 16 分。考慮到今天參加 NASCAR 比賽，貝裡的積分排名第 25 位，落後丹尼爾·蘇亞雷斯 55 分，獲得這 11 個賽段積分對於一支已經在追逐爭奪中苦苦掙扎的球隊來說可能會挽救賽季。

失敗者：第一階段後的克里斯多福貝爾

布里斯託的第一賽段對於 20 號賽車而言表現非常出色。在周六的排位賽中獲得第 14 名後，克里斯托弗貝爾 (Christopher Bell) 一路衝到第二位，他的賽車似乎有能力在布里斯托爾賽車場挑戰凱爾拉爾森 (Kyle Larson) 的勝利。它走下坡路很快。貝爾在維修站道路上超速行駛後被拋到了場地後方。當他遇到交通堵塞時，20 號車鬆動、旋轉，撞到牆上，需要進行重大維修。貝爾在第二賽段中點之前就落後了 4 圈，他連續 5 次進入前 20 名的記錄在周日結束，其中四次進入前七名。這些階段積分幫助他避免了在布里斯托遭遇更大的積分災難。

獲勝者：凱爾·拉森 (Kyle Larson) 共同擁有布里斯托爾

布里斯托賽車場正式由 Speedway Motorsports 所有。凱爾·拉森 (Kyle Larson) 值得擁有賽道的部分股份。 5 號賽車在 Food City 500 的大部分比賽中真正佔據主導地位，輕鬆贏得兩個賽段（20 分），並在整場比賽的一半以上（285 圈）中領先。在拉斯維加斯之外，按照拉爾森的精英標準，這是一個相當安靜的賽季。週日展示了他有多偉大。不幸的是，對於拉爾森來說，兩個輪胎的最後進站並沒有成功。

失敗者：亞歷克斯鮑曼的黴運仍在繼續

本週，當 Alex Bowman 將駕駛 48 號賽車回歸時，NASCAR 的每個人都非常高興。在因眩暈問題缺席四場比賽後，鮑曼回到了他擁有良好歷史的賽道。進行追逐可能是不可能的，但至少他可以開始串聯良好的比賽。不幸的是，對於鮑曼來說，在這個似乎一切都出了問題的賽季中，這再次脫離了他的控制。在第二賽段初期，肖恩·範·吉斯伯根 (Shane van Gisbergen) 鬆開並開始旋轉。當約翰·亨特·內梅切克 (John Hunter Nemechek) 猛拉他的車試圖避開車禍時，他將車直接駛入 48 號公路。鮑曼 (Bowman) 的車撞到牆上，並被托德·吉利蘭 (Todd Gilliland) 從後面撞到。這對他來說就是這樣的一年。

獲勝者：泰·吉布斯籃板，贏得首個盃賽冠軍

向 Ty Gibbs 和 54 號球隊致敬。在周六取得第五快的排位賽成績後，吉布斯週日在美食城 500 英里賽中早早就開始摔倒，並以第 13 名結束了第一階段。 54 號車的改變讓他再次出發，一旦他對賽車有了正確的感覺和控制力，他就在第二賽段重新回到第七位（4 分），並帶著這種勢頭進入了最後賽段。

隨著布萊尼（4 個輪胎）和拉爾森（2 個輪胎）在倒數第二次重新開始時輪胎磨損，吉布斯首次獲得勝利。他本來就處於有利位置，直到凱爾·布希（Kyle Busch）對萊利·赫布斯特（Riley Herbst）進行了報復，引起了警告並迫使加時賽。不管怎樣，吉布斯仍然在正面交鋒中擊敗了布萊尼，贏得了他的首個杯賽系列賽勝利。哦，順便說一句，他連續六場比賽都獲得了第六名或更好的成績。

失敗者：瑞安·布萊尼的維修站人員

潘世奇團隊什麼時候必須做出改變？瑞安·布萊尼（Ryan Blaney）的維修站工作人員整個賽季都是一個問題，最臭名昭著的是更換輪胎的問題，這導致他失去了位置，並迫使他進站到隊友的包廂進行緊急修復。即使休息一周後，潘斯克也沒有改變任何事情。那麼，布里斯托發生了什麼事？

贏得桿位後，布萊尼的維修站工作人員在前兩個賽段後的進站中遇到了問題，12 號賽車在維修站路外失去了多個位置。布萊尼再次在這方面表現出色，以至於他找到了一種方法仍然能夠取得令人難以置信的成績。在這一點上這是不可原諒的；正如廣播中指出的那樣，布萊尼在維修站道路上比本賽季第二差的球隊失去了 30 多個位置。

獲勝者：喬伊·洛加諾 (Joey Logano) 使其成為積分日

本週早些時候，喬伊·洛加諾 (Joey Logano) 在 The Gluckcast 上表示，這種賽製成功的關鍵是強調雙贏，並在以積分為目標的比賽中表現出色。週六在布里斯託的排位賽中獲得第 20 名後，第 22 名車隊非常清楚，世界上所有的調整都不會讓這輛賽車成為贏得比賽的賽車。

因此，洛加諾將這一天定為強項日。在第一賽段獲得第 25 名後，他在第二賽段獲得第八名並獲得 3 個賽段積分，並保住自己的位置，最終獲得第七名。像這樣的表演往往不會引起人們的注意，但它們可以在幾個月後產生巨大的影響。

失敗者：理查德·柴爾德里斯賽車隊

本賽季我們並不是凱爾·布施 (Kyle Busch) 的最大支持者，週日在布里斯托爾，他的 101 場比賽不勝紀錄仍在繼續。話雖如此，現在真正尷尬的是理查德·柴爾德里斯賽車隊。布希和奧斯汀狄龍當天的大部分時間都在前 20 名之外，只是為了避免落後一圈。

當你被困在人群中間時會發生什麼事？如果你稍微鬆一點，你的車自然會被你後面的車撞到，就像我們在最後賽段早些時候看到布希發生的那樣。這支曾經是一支傳奇的車隊，很大程度上是因為傳奇車手的緣故，現在卻在比賽週末被遺忘。獲勝和入圍制度確實是近年來唯一讓 RCR 季後賽變得有意義的東西，現在它已經消失了，好吧，我們只能說沒有人會在 The Chase 的手錶上擁有 RCR 車手。

Sunday’s Ford City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway featured the kind of impressive racing you’d expect from the likes of Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney and Denny Hamlin. However, we had a few surprises in the Cup Series race today as Chase contenders like Christopher Bell and William Byron finished last. Plus, thanks to Kyle Busch getting revenge on Ty Gibbs, we got overtime at Bristol.

Let’s take a look at the NASCAR results for the Food City 500 today. We’ve covered results from the NASCAR Cup Series stage at Bristol further down, but we’ll start with the points totals and full Food City 500 results.

2026 年 NASCAR 賽季的前七週已經進入尾聲，蔡斯·埃利奧特 (Chase Elliott) 週日在馬丁斯維爾 (Martinsville) 舉行的 Cook Out 400 比賽中獲勝，讓我們休息了一周。隨著週末盃系列賽的結束，現在是評估最佳 NASCAR 車手的時候了。

讓我們深入了解馬丁斯維爾之後最新的 NASCAR 實力排名。

1.泰勒·雷迪克（先前：1）

泰勒雷迪克仍然無法弄清楚馬丁斯維爾。正如他最後在廣播中所說，45號賽車的車手對這條短賽道比他本週末出現時更加困惑。這輛車在周六的排位賽中取得了第八名，雷迪克確實在馬丁斯維爾獲得了一些賽段積分，但第 15 名的成績是他本賽季最差的成績。不管怎樣，他仍然取得了四場勝利，並在進入中場休息時以大幅領先優勢以平均完賽名次（5.7）領先杯賽系列賽。

2. 丹尼‧哈姆林（之前：5）

丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin) 很可能會贏得周日的 Cook Out 400 比賽，如果不是因為維修站路上的碎片而導致最後的警告以及 11 號賽車的後輪胎似乎出現了問題。哈姆林在馬丁斯維爾取得了 292 圈的領先，並且完全處於杆位到杆位的位置，但不幸的運氣將其抹去了。他仍然以當天最高積分（56）名列第二，並且他領先的圈數（444）比該類別中排名第二（克里斯托弗·貝爾，225）和第三（泰勒·雷迪克，189）的車手總和還要多。哈姆林今年絕對會超越凱爾布希的職業生涯勝利總數。

3. 瑞安·布萊尼（Ryan Blaney）（先前：2）

瑞安·布萊尼 (Ryan Blaney) 擁有馬丁斯維爾第二快的汽車。對他來說不幸的是，當天最快的賽車（丹尼·哈姆林）將他撞到了牆上，有效地消除了 12 號車手贏得 Cook Out 400 比賽的任何機會。這對布萊尼來說是一個令人沮喪的結果，特別是因為他的維修站工作人員在本月早些時候犯了一些代價高昂的錯誤後，似乎終於發洩了怒氣。儘管如此，布萊尼在杯賽系列賽中仍然擁有第三好的平均完成位置（10.1），並且他在傳球方面領先所有車手。隨著他的維修站工作人員似乎重回正軌，布萊尼可能會更好地前進。

4. 泰·吉布斯（之前：6）

一個多月來，泰·吉布斯一直是 NASCAR 最好的車手之一。在賽季的前兩周里，他總共獲得了15個積分，平均起跑名次為22.5，平均完賽名次為30。在過去的五場比賽中，吉布斯已經獲得了205分，平均完賽名次為4.6，並且他有3次獲得第九名或更好的成績。這位 23 歲的球員現在正在努力做到這一點，即使有史以來的首個杯賽冠軍仍然讓人感覺遙不可及，但他在積分方面所做的正是他所需要的。喬吉布斯賽車隊一定很高興。

5. 蔡斯·艾利奧特（Chase Elliott）（先前：8）

週日在馬丁斯維爾，Chase Elliott 是否擁有前五名的賽車？不。機組負責人艾倫·古斯塔夫森是否因為碎片警告而獲得了一些好運，從而挽救了他的兩個維修站呼叫？絕對地。這些都是蔡斯·艾利奧特（Chase Elliott）駕駛時需要承擔的風險。埃利奧特還因在最後時刻擊敗丹尼·哈姆林並為亨德里克賽車運動隊贏得本賽季的首場勝利而受到更多讚揚。在鳳凰城取得第23名的成績是艾利歐特本賽季履歷中的一個異常值，因為他四次進入前十名，而在亞特蘭大取得第11名的成績仍然是38分。埃利奧特仍然是一個偉大的總冠軍人選。

6.威廉·拜倫（先前：4）

威廉·拜倫在馬丁斯維爾當天的大部分時間裡都處於前五名，並以當天第四高的積分（47）結束，但他從來都不是周日獲勝的真正因素。對於 24 號賽車來說，最重要的是這標誌著連續第四場比賽進入前十名。從 COTA 到馬丁斯維爾，拜倫的平均首發位置為 8.6，平均終點位置為 7.2，每場平均得分 36 分。這些數據將使他有很大機會在常規賽結束時獲得積分前五名，這對於爭奪冠軍至關重要。

7. 克里斯多福貝爾（Christopher Bell）（先前：7）

對於克里斯托弗貝爾和 20 號團隊來說，這是充實但平淡的一天。他沒有獲得任何賽段積分，但他仍然獲得了第七名的成績，使他在過去五週內四次進入前十名。這彌補了他在代托納和亞特蘭大的糟糕開局。 JGR 對貝爾感到非常滿意的一件事是：他本賽季領先 225 圈（第二多）。這樣的速度顯示勝利指日可待。

相關：2026 年馬丁斯維爾賽道官方 400 場比賽結果

8.凱爾·拉爾森（之前：9）

對於亨德里克賽車運動來說，除了艾利奧特的勝利之外，好消息是凱爾拉爾森週日沒有做任何讓自己丟分的事情。繼達靈頓（第 32 位）和亞特蘭大（第 32 位）發生的情況之後，這是一個進步。令人有點擔心的是，拉爾森上一次贏得杯賽還是在5月11日在堪薩斯大學。對於許多人認為是賽車運動中最好的車手來說，長達一年沒有獲勝的乾旱感覺令人難以理解。

9. 奧斯汀辛德里克（Austin Cindric）（之前：未排名）

對於奧斯汀辛德里克來說，本賽季初的情況看起來很黯淡。從 Daytona 400 到 Phoenix，他有 3 次獲得第 30 名或更差的成績，平均名次為 29.0。辛德里克在那五場比賽中總共只得到 71 分。在過去的兩周里，Cindric 獲得了 78 分，現在他已經連續幾場比賽進入前十名。第二支球隊有希望。

10.布拉德凱塞洛夫斯基（Brad Keselowski）（之前：10）

很早就很明顯，RFK 不具備對馬丁斯維爾的頂級球隊構成任何真正威脅所需的設置。因此，布拉德·凱瑟洛夫斯基 (Brad Keselowski) 將排位賽第 23 名轉變為第 13 名，這一事實應該被視為一場勝利。在 Cook Out 400 之前，Keselowski 連續三次進入前 15 名，並且在達靈頓賽中表現出色。有一點是肯定的：他經過手術修復的腿本週將不再參加比賽。

Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway was exactly what you’d expect from Virginia’s iconic short track. While the focus today is always on the winner of the NASCAR race, we also wanted to provide some analysis on how other drivers and teams performed at Martinsville this afternoon.

Let’s take a look at our winners and losers from the Cook Out 400.

Winner: Denny Hamlin

Complete dominance. Denny Hamlin went nearly pole-to-pole in the Cook Out 400 and could have scored maximum points with 76–20 points for the stage win, 55 for winning the race, and 1 point for fastest lap – if not for a late caution due to a wreck on Ty Dillon’s car. This allowed Chase Elliott’s pit strategy to completely pay off; Otherwise, this would have been a race that Hamlin would have won in historic fashion. Hamlin did not get a win in the Cook Out 400, but he left Martinsville with the most points (56) that day and led 292 laps. Agreed that he would be sad if he did not win.

RELATED: NASCAR Cup Series all-time win list

Loser: Kyle Busch

Kyle Busch is fed up with Richard Childress Racing and his time spent in the No. 8 car. That became abundantly clear after qualifying on Saturday, when his tone reflected that of a driver who knew the No. 8 car had no chance of being competitive after finishing 34th. Late in Stage 1 he fell and then at his first pit stop, Busch opted to drive through a wheel that came loose and bounced off the front of his car. Busch has now gone 100 consecutive races without a Cup Series win and it’s clear he’s counting down the days until he can join a new team.

Connected: What happened to Kyle Busch’s winless streak, 100-race drought

Winner: Ty Gibbs

Five consecutive top-10 finishes for Ty Gibbs. In fact, it’s even better than that, as his worst finishing position was sixth at Darlington last Sunday. The No. 54 car finished in the top four for the second time in the last three races and Gibbs demonstrated his ability to make the most of it, scoring the second-most stage points (16) at the Cook Out 400. Clearly, Gibbs is performing much like Chase Briscoe did at No. 19 last season. More about them later.

Connected: NASCAR standings today, Cup Series points leaders after Martinsville

Loser: Richard Childress Racing

Why does Richard Childress Racing even run a third car at this point? It’s clear they don’t have the ability to put Kyle Busch in any position to be competitive and with the win-and-playoff system gone, Austin Dillon and the No. 3 team are irrelevant for the season. In Sunday’s Cook Out 400, RCR had Austin Hill in the No. 33 car (part-time) and he spent the majority of the race leading several laps. In fact, we have to wonder if NASCAR’s top prospect Jesse Love would be better off pursuing a full-time Cup ride with another team since RCR has nothing to offer.

Connected: Best NASCAR Races 2026, Ranking Every Cup Series Race This Season

Winner: Shane van Gisbergen

Performing so well in the Cook Out 400 had a lot to do with qualifying, considering how little passing was on Sunday. This is still something for which Shane van Gisbergen deserves credit, as he achieved a season’s best fifth place in qualifying. This is even better than his starting position at COTA (13th) a few weeks ago. SVG needed a solid point total after recording a total of 24 points in his last two races and he accomplished that at Martinsville, while continuing to show that he is getting better at the ovals.

RELATED: Official 2026 Cook Out 400 results at Martinsville Speedway

Loser: Bubba Wallace

Silly. Bubba Wallace didn’t have a good race at Martinsville, but he was at least in position to finish in the top 20 for a good points day. Considering the points the 23rd-ranked team has earned this season, it would have been fine to keep them in the top seven. Instead, inexplicably, Wallace decided to hit the throttle and drive straight into Carson Hocevar not once but twice. Karma took care of the No. 23 car with race-ending damage, but Wallace’s actions are inexcusable and his immaturity caused damage to several other cars because he could not control his emotions. This felt like an older version of Wallace, and if he’s back after just two bad races, 23XI Racing has a problem beyond just an eight-place drop in the points.

Winner: Chase Elliott

Did some good luck help crew chief Alan Gustafson’s pit strategy succeed? Definitely. However, that’s also a gamble you can take when you have a driver of Chase Elliott’s caliber behind the wheel of the No. 9 car. The team did not score any stage points on Sunday at Martinsville, but an early pit stop and fresh tires gave Elliott a car he could drive further. The caution ended well for him, but you also have to give Elliott credit for how he controlled traffic on the final laps and didn’t give Hamlin a real chance to take the lead. Elliott gave Hendrick Motorsports its first win of the season and it looks great for the team too.

周日在马丁斯维尔赛道举行的纳斯卡杯系列赛完全符合您对弗吉尼亚标志性短道赛道的期望。虽然焦点始终集中在今天 NASCAR 比赛的获胜者身上，但我们也想对其他车手和车队今天下午在马丁斯维尔的表现进行一些分析。

让我们深入了解 Cook Out 400 的赢家和输家。

获胜者：丹尼·哈姆林

绝对的统治。丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin) 在 Cook Out 400 比赛中几乎取得杆位到杆位，如果不是因为泰·狄龙 (Ty Dillon) 赛车碎片导致的最后警告，丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin) 可能会获得最高分 76 分——赛段胜利 20 分，正赛胜利 55 分，最快圈速 1 分。这使得蔡斯·埃利奥特（Chase Elliott）的坑策略得到了完美的回报；否则，这将是哈姆林以历史性方式赢得的一场比赛。哈姆林没有赢得 Cook Out 400 比赛的胜利，但他确实以当天最多的积分（56 分）离开马丁斯维尔，并领先 292 圈。当然，他会因为没有获得胜利而感到痛苦。

相关：纳斯卡杯系列赛历史胜利名单

失败者：凯尔·布希

凯尔·布​​希 (Kyle Busch) 厌倦了在理查德·柴尔德里斯车队 (Richard Childress Racing) 和驾驶 8 号赛车的时光。这一点在周六的排位赛后就已经很明显了，当时他的语气反映出一位车手知道这辆 8 号赛车在获得第 34 名后没有任何竞争力。他在第一赛段后期落后了一圈，然后在第一次进站时，布希选择直接穿过一个松动的车轮并在他的车前面弹跳。布施现在已经连续 100 场比赛没有赢得过杯赛系列赛的胜利，很明显，他正在倒计时，直到他能加入一支新球队。

获胜者：泰·吉布斯

泰·吉布斯 (Ty Gibbs) 连续五次进入前十名。说实话，这甚至比这更好，因为他最差的成绩是上周日在达灵顿获得的第六名。 54 号赛车在过去三场比赛中第二次进入前四名，吉布斯展示了将其最大化的能力，同时在 Cook Out 400 中获得了第二高的赛段积分（16）。坦率地说，吉布斯的表现很像 Chase Briscoe 上赛季在 19 号赛车中的表现。稍后会详细介绍他。

有关的： 今日纳斯卡积分榜，杯赛系列赛积分榜仅次于马丁斯维尔

失败者：理查德·柴尔德里斯赛车队

为什么理查德·柴尔德里斯赛车队此时还要运行第三辆赛车呢？很明显，他们不具备让凯尔·布施（Kyle Busch）处于任何有竞争力的位置所需的能力，并且随着胜利进入季后赛制度的消失，奥斯汀·狄龙（Austin Dillon）和第三支球队与本赛季无关。在周日的 Cook Out 400 比赛中，RCR 让奥斯汀·希尔 (Austin Hill) 驾驶 33 号赛车（兼职）出战，他在比赛的大部分时间里都落后了好几圈。确实，我们不得不怀疑 NASCAR 的顶级新星杰西·洛夫 (Jesse Love) 是否会更好地与另一支球队一起参加全职杯赛，因为 RCR 没有什么可提供的。

获奖者：肖恩·范·吉斯伯根

考虑到周日的超车情况很少，在 Cook Out 400 中表现如此出色与排位赛有很大关系。这仍然是肖恩·范·吉斯伯根值得赞扬的事情，因为他在排位赛中取得了赛季最好的第五名。这甚至比几周前他在 COTA 的首发位置（第 13 名）还要好。 SVG 在过去两场比赛中总共仅获得 24 分，而他在马丁斯维尔实现了这一目标，同时继续表明他在椭圆形比赛中取得了更好的成绩，因此需要获得稳定的积分。

相关：2026 年马丁斯维尔赛道官方 400 场比赛结果

失败者：布巴·华莱士

哭笑不得。布巴·华莱士在马丁斯维尔的比赛中表现不佳，但他至少能够进入前 20 名，获得不错的积分。考虑到排名第 23 的球队本赛季获得的积分，如果他们能保持在前七名之内就很好了。相反，令人费解的是，华莱士决定踩油门，直接撞上卡森·霍切瓦尔，不是一次，而是两次。 Karma 处理了导致比赛结束的损坏的 23 号赛车，但华莱士的这种行为是不可原谅的，并且由于他无法控制自己的情绪，他的不成熟损坏了很多其他赛车。这感觉就像旧版的华莱士，如果在两场糟糕的比赛后又回来了，23XI Racing 的问题不仅仅是在积分上下降了 8 位。

获胜者：蔡斯·埃利奥特

机长艾伦·古斯塔夫森 (Alan Gustafson) 的维修站策略是否得到了一些好运气的帮助？当然。然而，当你的 9 号赛车的方向盘后面有一位像蔡斯·埃利奥特 (Chase Elliott) 那样有才干的车手时，这也是你要进行的一场赌博。周日在马丁斯维尔，车队没有获得任何赛段积分，但提早进站并更换新轮胎帮助埃利奥特获得了一辆可以开到前面的赛车。警告对他们来说很好，但你也必须赞扬埃利奥特在最后几圈中如何驾驭交通，从未给哈姆林真正的机会重新夺回领先地位。埃利奥特为亨德里克赛车运动队带来了本赛季的首场胜利，这对车队来说也一定感觉很棒。

Tonight’s NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Martinsville Raceway featured a starting lineup that was determined by a metric score after qualifying on Friday. As the NFPA 250 results were captured, what happened created some extra excitement and late-stage crashes at the short track.

A theme of NASCAR races today is cautions in the final stages, culminating in a big stage with 16 laps that resulted in a red flag. As a result, the double-point cars failed to finish the race.

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series starting lineup for Saturday’s race at Martinsville Speedway has been set, but for a different reason than usual. Due to weather in the area, qualifying ahead of tomorrow’s NFPA 250 has been canceled, and that means the lineup for Saturday’s race has been mathematically determined.

Let’s dive into the NFPA 250 starting lineups after metric scores determined the grid due to rain in NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series qualifying at Martinsville Speedway. Because there was no qualifying, the metric score prevents Dawson Cram and Justin Carroll from qualifying for the 38-car race.

With the Cup Series drivers largely dominating the last two O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races, there hasn’t been as much movement among the points leaders for the second week in a row. However, the Help a Hero 200 still brought some changes to the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series standings and Justin Allgaier made even more breathing room for himself at the top.

Let’s take you straight to the NASCAR OARS standings after Darlington.

科里·海姆 (Corey Heim) 是 NASCAR 中最有前途的车手，这位 23XI Racing 开发车手被业界广泛认为已经准备好全职参加杯赛系列赛。然而，海姆在卡车系列赛中驾驶 11 号赛车打破了纪录，在 2026 年赛季中，他将兼职参加所有三个级别的比赛。

正如福克斯体育频道的鲍勃·波克拉斯 (Bob Pockrass) 周六所解释的那样，海姆于 2025 年 2 月被宣布为 23XI 的开发车手。这让他留在了丰田家族，这正是他想要的，海姆“指望”在 2027 年开放全职赛车。至于为什么他不能花一个赛季为另一支车队全职驾驶，波克拉斯提到，力狮汽车俱乐部“并不认为自己是车手的训练场”。 23XI 出发。

相关报道：达灵顿 NASCAR 杯系列赛首发阵容，23XI 赛车手领跑

上个赛季，作为 TRICON Garage 的 11 号丰田坦途卡车的全职车手，海姆在 25 场比赛中创造了单赛季卡车系列赛记录，包括领先圈数 (1,625)、积分 (4040)、胜利 (12) 和前五名 (19)。他在整个赛季中占据主导地位，然后在菲尼克斯完成了最后一圈的比赛，以卡车系列锦标赛结束了破纪录的一年。

对海姆来说，全职参加杯赛系列赛从来都不是天赋问题。相反，金钱才是首要因素。 23XI Racing 的第三位全职车手 Riley Herbst 与 Monster Energy 有着密切的关系，他的家族财力雄厚，他的父亲拥有众多与 Monster 合作的加油站和便利店。

这些财务资源对于 23XI 上赛季与 NASCAR 的法律诉讼来说是有点必要的，导致了数千万美元的法庭费用。赫布斯特最初也签了一份多年合同，因此即使在 2025 年表现平平的赛季之后，球队也不会离开他。

不过，35号赛车应该可以让海姆在下赛季接任全职车手。他还只有 24 岁，他的加入将为 23XI 提供三名完全有能力赢得比赛并在追逐赛中赢得一席之地的车手。

目前，所有迹象都表明海姆将在下赛季成为 23XI 的全职车手。在那之前，今年他将主要参加卡车系列赛、杯赛和奥莱利汽车配件系列赛。正如周五晚上在达灵顿举行的卡车系列赛中他在最后一圈超越罗斯·查斯坦（Ross Chastain）所表明的那样，他已经完全有能力在最高水平上超越一些顶级车手。

Corey Heim is the hottest prospect in NASCAR and the 23XI Racing Development driver is widely considered across the industry to be ready for a full-time ride in the Cup Series. However, after a record-breaking year finishing 11th in the Truck Series, Hamm is spending the 2026 season part-time at all three levels.

As Fox Sports’ Bob Pokrass reported on Saturday, Heim was announced as a development driver for the 23XI in February 2025. This kept him within the Toyota family, which is what he wanted, and Heim is “banking” on starting to ride full-time in 2027. As to why he cannot spend a season driving full-time for another team, Pokrass noted that the Legacy Motor Club “does not see itself as a training ground” for a driver until then. Departure for 23XI.

Reality: NASCAR Cup Series debut at Darlington, 23XI Racing drivers leading the field

As the full-time driver of the No. 11 Toyota Tundra Truck with Tricon Garage last season, Heim set single-season Truck Series records in laps led (1,625), points (4040), wins (12) and top-fives (19) in 25 races. He dominated throughout the season and then pulled away in the final lap to cap off a record-breaking year with a Truck Series championship at Phoenix.

Getting a full-time ride in the Cup Series has never been a matter of talent for Heim. Instead, money is the primary factor. 23XI Racing’s third full-time driver, Riley Herbst, brings with him a strong relationship with Monster Energy, and his family has a strong financial background and his father owned several gas stations and convenience stores that are in partnership with Monster.

Those financial resources were little needed for 23XI last season amid a legal battle with NASCAR that resulted in millions of dollars in court costs. Herbst was also originally signed to a multi-year contract, so the team wasn’t going to move on from him through 2025, even after a very poor season.

However, the No. 35 car should be open for Hamm to take over as a full-time driver next season. He will still only be 24 years old and his inclusion gives 23XI three drivers capable of winning races and earning a spot in The Chase.

At the moment, all signs point towards Heim becoming a full-time driver for 23XI next season. Until then, he will split his time between the Trucks, Cup and O’Reilly Auto Parts series this year. As Ross Chastain’s last lap pass on Friday night in the Truck Series race at Darlington showed, he’s already capable of beating some of the top drivers at the highest level.

就在纳斯卡车手丹尼尔·戴因在直播中发表的言论而被无限期停赛几天后，另一位车手现在因其在社交媒体上的行为而引起了人们的关注。

在 Instagram 上拥有近 200 万粉丝的网红萨拉·布莱克 (Sara Blake) 周四与粉丝举行了问答环节。显然，纳斯卡车手乔什·比利奇给她发了一条消息，问她哪里最怕痒。

布莱克随后截图了这个问题，并将其分享到了她在 Reddit 上捕捉到的 Instagram 故事，并表示虽然她热爱 NASCAR，但她并没有在市场上寻找 NASCAR 车手，她鼓励 Bilicki 留在他的车道上。

她随后发布了一篇较长的帖子，后来在 Reddit 上分享，解释说她已经建立了一个平台来帮助运动员建立品牌并与粉丝建立联系。然而，她的帐户并没有滑入她的直接消息中。

虽然本周末在达灵顿赛道举行的 NASCAR 赛程中不会有规定的“回归周末”，但会有一些车手和车队用他们的涂装方案向一些传奇人物和偶像致敬。其中包括卡森·霍切瓦 (Carson Hocevar)，他的 Spire Motorsports 车队向历史上最伟大的车手戴尔·恩哈特 (Dale Earnhardt) 致敬，这位年轻的车手经常被拿来与他进行比较。

在接受 NASCAR YouTuber Eric Estepp 采访时，Hocevar 谈到了其他人将他与传奇车手 Dale Earnhardt 进行的比较。

相关：卡森·霍切瓦透露了与 NASCAR 车手建立友谊的方法

“我在这里说实话，我不喜欢这种比较。显然，我很欣赏它，但我不知道……我觉得我们现在可能应该赢得一场比赛……但是，只是因为我时不时地遇到人们，现在我到处开着一辆黑色汽车，我真的不明白……没有人是下一个戴尔……我只想成为我，这要容易得多……我很想拥有戴尔所取得的1%的成功。我不喜欢任何比较。”

卡森·霍切瓦尔 (Carson Hocevar) 与戴尔·恩哈特 (Dale Earnhardt) 的比较

正如霍切瓦尔告诉埃斯特普的那样，他从小就是一名铁杆赛车迷，他观看了各种有关戴尔·恩哈特的纪录片。他知道这位 3 号赛车的标志性车手对 NASCAR 的历史有多大的意义，也知道他对那个时代数百万车迷的意义有多大。最终，霍切瓦尔认为这种比较对恩哈特来说是一种伤害，对他想要自己建立的遗产也不公平。

就在他站在 77 号辣椒赞助赛车旁的照片发布几天后，这位 23 岁的年轻人意识到自己说这句话有些讽刺。蓝黄相间的涂装方案类似于 1981 年 2 号赛车所使用的方案，在那个赛季，恩哈特以使用牧马人颜色而闻名，随后以该品牌作为主要赞助商赢得了数十场比赛。然而，霍切瓦尔承认，这一切的背后很大程度上是营销团队在幕后黑手。

胡切瓦与恩哈特的比较来自一些历史上的伟人，这并没有什么帮助。今年早些时候 小比赛回顾传奇人物理查德·佩蒂表示，他看到了两位车手之间的一些相似之处。

“男孩，那个 77 号球衣（霍切瓦尔）。……现在，他所做的很多事情并没有那么错误。如果我回去看他跑步之类的事情，他让我想起了戴尔·恩哈特。恩哈特学会了如何应对这些事情。而穿着 77 号球衣的男孩，他只需要学会如何应对他正在做的事情。”

理查德·佩蒂谈卡森·霍切瓦尔和戴尔·恩哈特之间的相似之处

对于霍切瓦尔来说，在几次接近胜利后，重点仍然是实现杯赛系列赛的首场胜利。他明确表示，他不会改变自己的驾驶风格，也不是为了与其他 NASCAR 车手交朋友。如果获胜让他成为球迷的最爱，而不是同龄人的最爱，那么他会非常乐意接受这个结果。

Although there will be no mandatory “Throwback Weekend” as part of the NASCAR schedule at Darlington Raceway this weekend, some drivers and teams will pay tribute to some legends and icons with their paint schemes. This also includes Carson Hocevar, with his team Spire Motorsports paying tribute to all-time great Dale Earnhardt – to whom the young driver has been constantly compared.

In an interview with NASCAR YouTuber Eric Estep, Hocevar talked about some others comparing him to legendary driver Dale Earnhardt.

RELATED: Carson Hocevar reveals approach to friendship with NASCAR drivers

“I’ll be honest here, I don’t like the comparisons. I appreciate it, obviously, but I don’t know… I think we probably should have won a race now… But, just because I meet people every now and again and now I’m racing a black car here and there, I don’t really see it… There’s no next Dale… I just want to be me, it’s that easy… I’d love to have 1 percent of Dale’s success. I’d love any comparisons. It is not.”

Carson Hocevar on comparisons to Dale Earnhardt

As Hocevar told Estep, he grew up as a die-hard racing fan, and watched the various documentaries that came out about Dale Earnhardt. He knows how much the iconic driver of the No. 3 car means to NASCAR history and how much he meant to millions of fans during that era. Ultimately, Hocevar feels the comparison is a disservice to Earnhardt and unfair to the legacy he wants to build on his own.

The 23-year-old recognized his irony just days after the release of photos showing him standing near the No. 77 Chiles-sponsored car. The blue and yellow paint scheme resembles the one used for the No. 2 car in 1981, a season where Earnhardt famously sported Wrangler colors before winning dozens of races with the brand as his primary sponsor. However, Hocevar admitted that the marketing team was largely behind all this.

It doesn’t help that Hocevar and Earnhardt have been compared to some of the all-time greats. earlier this year patty race recapVeteran Richard Petty said he noticed some similarities between the two drivers.

“The boy, that 77 (Hocevar). …Right now, a lot of the things he’s doing or is doing aren’t really that wrong. If I go back and watch him race and do stuff, he reminds me of Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt has learned to work with that stuff. And the 77 boy, he just has to learn to work with the things he’s doing.”

Richard Petty on the similarities between Carson Hocevar and Dale Earnhardt

For Hocevar, the focus is still on scoring his first Cup Series win after coming close on a few occasions. He has made it clear that he is not changing his driving style, nor does he want to make friends with other NASCAR drivers. If winning makes him a favorite among fans and less so among his teammates, he’s more than happy to take that result.

Most career stage wins (Cup) in NASCAR

Here are the career Cup Series leaders in most stage wins in NASCAR. Data via NASCAR Insights on March 17 and updated manually.

Matt Johnson is the senior NFL and college football editor for Sportsknot. His work including the weekly NFL and college… More about Matt Johnson

The Pennzoil 400 marked the fifth points race of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, providing the third winner to this point. We also saw some of NASCAR’s best drivers perform very well at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, resulting in things getting a little closer to normal in the weekly rankings.

Let’s take a look at our latest NASCAR Power Rankings coming out of Las Vegas.

1. Tyler Reddick (First: 1)

Tyler Reddick dropped out of the top 10 for the first time this season, finishing 13th in the Pennzoil 400. However, he scored record points in both stages, before the No. 45 car suffered a slight decline after the final pit stop. Despite his worst season finish, Reddick still tied for the fourth-most laps led (112) among top-10 (four) and top-5 (three) teams in the Cup Series and the top average finishing position in the Cup Series (4.8). Reddick is currently ranked No. 1 in the NASCAR Power Rankings, but he’s now in a position where he could be overtaken by Darlington.

RELATED: NASCAR standings after Las Vegas

2. Christopher Bell (First: 4)

Making it three consecutive top four finishes for Christopher Bell. The No. 20 car did not have the same pace as teammate Denny Hamlin, but Las Vegas consistently scored over 50 points with Bell taking the stage win. Bell did not just lead the Cup Series in laps (225); He is the first driver to complete 200 laps this season and has tied Reddick for the longest streak of top-5 finishes (three) this year. The disastrous performance at Daytona (35th place, 3 points) seems like a distant memory and it won’t be even a month until Joe Gibbs Racing has two race winners in 2026.

3. Denny Hamlin (1st: 6)

No one was beating Denny Hamlin in the Pennzoil 400. After finishing third in Stage 1, he dropped to the back of the field (31st) on the restart for speeding on pit road (50.03 mph). It didn’t take long for the No. 11 car to get back into the top 15 and finished Stage 2 in fifth place. At that point it was clear that no matter who had the fastest car on Sunday, Hamlin was headed to victory. After running at the front of the field at Daytona and Atlanta, but falling back due to car damage from wrecks caused by his teammates, Hamlin now has three consecutive top-10 finishes with an average finishing position of 5.33 and a total of 145 points during that span. Oh, he’s also now headed to Darlington where he’s a spring season winner.

Related: Pennzoil 400 Results

4. Bubba Wallace (First: 3)

We’re five races into this season and Bubba Wallace still has the second-most points in the Cup Series. Part of that is certainly due to the stages, as he became the first driver to score 50 stage points this year. That said, it’s also worth acknowledging that Wallace ranks sixth in laps led (86), he’s tied with Kyle Larson for the highest average spot in mid-race (7.60) and he leads the game in quality passes (690). That leaves you with a driver who has had the most top 10 finishes (four) on road courses with a season-worst finish of 11th.

RELATED: Denny Hamlin praises Bubba Wallace for elite improvement

5. Chase Elliott (First: 7)

The only driver who made Denny Hamlin sweat a little in the final stages was Chase Elliott. It says a lot about where this No. 11 car is, as Las Vegas Motor Speedway has not been particularly kind to the team in recent years. While Elliott did not perform particularly well in the stages on Sunday (3 points total), the adjustments made put him in position to challenge Hamlin at the end. Leading up to Darlington, Elliott has finished 11th or better four times with more than 33 points in each race. Phoenix (23rd) was clearly an example of a flawed game plan, but Elliott is back on track to win the regular season championship.

6. Kyle Larson (1st: 5)

Kyle Larson won his first NASCAR race in 2026, most recently in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. At a track where he has historically dominated, Larson finished second in both stages (18 points) and led the second-most laps (62 points), but he lost a bit of balance with the car in the final stages and he finished seventh. Larson’s average finishing position over the last three races is 5.333, but the No. 5 team is coming up just short of the finish line. It’s only a matter of time before that changes and his OARS win on Saturday showed he can still find victory lane even when he doesn’t have the best car.

7. Ryan Blaney (First: 2)

After the win in Phoenix, Team Penske was not having it at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It’s a testament to Blaney’s driving that he finished sixth on the same day Joey Logano finished 21st, and we saw that carryover on Sunday. Blaney scored two stage points (ninth in Stage 1), but fell to the middle of the pack and finished 16th in the Pennzoil 400. Through five races, Blaney finished outside the top 15 twice with one win and two top 10 finishes.

8. William Byron (before: 8)

William Byron had his best performance of the season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, scoring his first top-5 finish of the year and scoring 49 points in the process. While the No. 24 didn’t have the pace to catch Hamlin in the long sprint in the final stages, there were some great battles earlier in the race. Byron and Hendrick Motorsports are righting the ship after three consecutive races outside the top 10, and he’ll likely climb the NASCAR power rankings in short order.

9. Ty Gibbs (previously: unranked)

It certainly seems as if the commentary surrounding Ty Gibbs in the Spire Motorsports-Joe Gibbs Racing legal battle has lit a fire for the young driver. In the first two races of the season, Gibbs scored a total of 15 points with an average finishing position of 30.0. The No. 54 car is now coming off a three-race run with 123 points and an average finishing position of 4.333. Gibbs, 23, is certainly starting to look like the driver his grandfather always believed he could become. A first career Cup Series win remains elusive for Ty, but it’s impossible to ignore how well he has performed of late.

10. Chase Briscoe (Previously: Unranked)

Chase Briscoe managed to finish eighth in the Pennzoil 400, truly one of the most impressive performances of the weekend. Due to a poor start to the season, which affected the metrics for qualifying order, he was part of the first qualifying group and started 18th on Sunday. Things got worse for the No. 19 team, as Briscoe received a speeding penalty in Stage 1 and then a penalty for pitting outside the box in Stage 2, resulting in him spending most of the race a lap down. He was successful in making a comeback in the top-10. He still has two DNFs on his record this season, but Brisco’s driving when the car isn’t being seriously damaged is reminiscent of last season.

Pennzoil 400 标志着 2026 年 NASCAR 杯系列赛赛季的第五场积分赛，创造了迄今为止的第三个冠军。我们还看到一些最好的 NASCAR 车手在拉斯维加斯赛车场表现出色，导致每周排名更接近恢复正常。

让我们深入了解来自拉斯维加斯的最新 NASCAR 实力排名。

1.泰勒·雷迪克（先前：1）

泰勒·雷迪克本赛季首次进入前十名之外，在 Pennzoil 400 中排名第 13。不过，他在两个赛段都创下了积分纪录，但在最后一次进站后，45 号赛车似乎出现了一些下滑。即使在经历了赛季最差成绩之后，雷迪克仍然在杯赛系列赛前 10 名（4 次）和前 5 名（3 次）中并列领先，领先圈数第四（112 圈），平均完赛位置最高（4.8 圈）。雷迪克目前在 NASCAR 实力排名中保持第一，但他现在的位置可能会在达灵顿之后被超越。

2. 克里斯托弗·贝尔（Christopher Bell）（此前：4）

克里斯托弗·贝尔 (Christopher Bell) 连续三年进入前四名。 20 号赛车的速度与队友丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin) 不太一样，但在拉斯维加斯，贝尔连续几周拿下 50 多分并获得了赛段胜利。贝尔不仅以领先圈数（225 圈）领跑杯赛系列赛，而且还以领先圈数领先。他是本赛季第一个领先 200 圈的车手，并追平了雷迪克今年最长的前 5 名连续纪录（3 次）。代托纳的灾难性表现（第 35 位，积 3 分）感觉就像是遥远的记忆，甚至可能用不到一个月，乔·吉布斯车队 (Joe Gibbs Racing) 就会在 2026 年获得两场比赛冠军。

3.丹尼·哈姆林（之前：6）

在 Pennzoil 400 比赛中，没有人能够击败丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin)。在第一赛段获得第三名后，他在重新开始时因维修站道路超速（50.03 英里/小时）而不得不掉到赛场后面（第 31 位）。 11 号赛车没花太多时间就回到了前 15 名，并以第五名的成绩完成了第二赛段。周日谁拥有最快的赛车就已经很明显了，哈姆林正在稳步走向胜利。在代托纳和亚特兰大的比赛中，哈姆林在靠近前场的位置上比赛，但由于同行的残骸对赛车造成损坏而退后，哈姆林现在已经连续三次进入前十名，平均完赛位置为 5.33，在此期间获得的总积分为 145。哦，他现在还前往达灵顿，在那里他是春季卫冕冠军。

4. 布巴·华莱士（前：3）

本赛季我们已经完成了五场比赛，布巴·华莱士仍然在杯赛系列赛中获得第二高的积分。其中部分原因肯定是赛段，因为他成为今年第一个获得 50 个赛段积分的车手。话虽如此，还值得承认的是，华莱士在领先圈数中排名第六（86），他与凯尔·拉尔森并列在比赛中段平均排名最高的位置（7.60），并且他在质量传球方面领先（690）。这就是您如何获得一名并列进入前十名最多（四名）且在公路赛上取得赛季最差成绩（第 11 位）的车手的方式。

5. 蔡斯·埃利奥特（Chase Elliott）（此前：7）

唯一在最后赛段让丹尼·哈姆林有点出汗的车手是蔡斯·埃利奥特。这充分说明了这辆 11 号赛车的处境，因为近年来拉斯维加斯赛车场对车队并不是特别友好。虽然埃利奥特在周日的舞台上表现不佳（总共 3 分），但所做的调整使他能够在最后挑战哈姆林。在前往达灵顿的比赛中，埃利奥特有四次获得第 11 名或更好的成绩，每场比赛都获得 33 分以上的积分。菲尼克斯队（第 23 名）显然是一个有缺陷的比赛计划的一个例子，但埃利奥特又回到了正轨，并坚定地赢得了常规赛冠军。

6.凯尔·拉尔森（之前：5）

凯尔·拉尔森 (Kyle Larson) 于 2026 年赢得了他的第一场 NASCAR 比赛，当时刚刚参加了奥莱利汽车配件系列赛。在这条他历史上占据统治地位的赛道上，拉尔森在两个赛段都获得了第二名（18 分），并领先第二多圈（62 圈），但赛车的平衡在最后赛段有点下降，他获得了第七名。拉尔森在过去三场比赛中的平均完赛名次确实为 5.333，但排名第五的车队距离终点线还很遥远。这种情况的改变只是时间问题，周六他在桨场比赛中的胜利表明，即使他没有最好的赛车，他也能带领自己走向胜利。

7.瑞安·布莱尼（Ryan Blaney）（先前：2）

在菲尼克斯获胜后，潘斯克车队在拉斯维加斯赛车场却没有取得胜利。布莱尼在排位赛中获得第六名，而乔伊·洛加诺在排位赛中获得第 21 名，这证明了布莱尼的驾驶技术，我们看到这种情况延续到了周日。布莱尼获得了两个赛段积分（第一赛段第九名），但最终在 Pennzoil 400 比赛中跌至中游，仅获得第 16 名。在五场比赛中，布莱尼已两次进入前 15 名之外，并两次取得胜利并两次进入前十名。

8.威廉·拜伦（先前：8）

威廉·拜伦 (William Byron) 在拉斯维加斯赛车场上演了赛季最佳表现，首次进入本年度前 5 名，并在此过程中得到 49 分。虽然 24 号赛车在最后赛段的长距离速度上无法追上哈姆林，但在比赛的早期还是发生了一些精彩的战斗。拜伦和亨德里克赛车运动队在连续三场比赛都进入前十名之外后，似乎正在扭转局面，他很可能会在短时间内攀升 NASCAR 实力排名。

9. 泰·吉布斯（Ty Gibbs）（之前：未排名）

毫无疑问，围绕泰·吉布斯在 Spire Motorsports 与乔·吉布斯赛车之间的法律诉讼中的评论似乎点燃了这位年轻车手的火焰。在本赛季的前两场比赛中，吉布斯总共获得 15 分，平均名次为 30.0。这辆 54 号赛车在三场比赛中获得 123 分，平均完赛名次为 4.333。 23 岁的吉布斯显然开始像他祖父一直相信他能成为的司机一样。对于泰来说，职业生涯首个杯赛系列赛的胜利仍然遥不可及，但我们不可能忽视他最近的表现。

10. Chase Briscoe（以前：未排名）

Chase Briscoe 在 Pennzoil 400 比赛中获得第八名确实是周末最令人印象深刻的表现之一。由于赛季开局不佳，影响了排位赛顺序，他被分在第一组排位赛中，并在周日以第 18 名出发。对于第 19 号车队来说，情况只会变得更糟，因为布里斯科在第一赛段受到超速处罚，然后在第二赛段因禁区外进站受到处罚，导致他在这场比赛的大部分时间里都落后了一圈。他设法重返前十名。本赛季他还有两场 DNF 记录，但布里斯科在赛车没有受到严重损坏的情况下驾驶让人想起上赛季。

Hendrick Motorsports 车手 Alex Bowman 在合同年进入 2026 NASCAR 杯系列赛赛季，需要再次证明自己，以长期保持 48 号赛车的驾驶。不幸的是，对于鲍曼来说，健康问题（眩晕）已经成为他不幸运气的最新例证。由于本赛季结束时他很可能成为车队中唯一错过追逐赛的车手，因此下赛季感觉有必要寻找替代者。

让我们深入了解 2027 年 NASCAR 赛季亨德里克 48 号赛车中鲍曼的潜在替代者名单。

凯尔·布​​施

Hendrick Motorsports 可能会将 Corey Day 视为 48 号席位的长期选择，但这位 20 岁的车手需要学习如何在 O’Reilly 汽车配件系列赛中比赛而不造成严重破坏，然后才能成为最高级别的全职车手。可行的是一个继任计划，由凯尔·布希在未来两年接替鲍曼。这位未来的名人堂成员在理查德·柴尔德里斯赛车队中取得了灾难性的成绩，杯赛系列赛中连续不胜的记录已经达到了三位数，这就是证明。 Busch 之前曾与 Hendrick 合作，在卡车系列赛中驾驶过 7 号赛车。一份两年的合同可以让他有机会在退役前增加几场胜利。到那时，戴就可以准备好了。

卡鲁斯图

现在还处于赛季初期，但拉贾·卡鲁斯正在充分利用他在桨队的机会。他在前 10 场比赛中的 3 场都取得了前 10 名的成绩，本赛季在椭圆形比赛中平均每场比赛得到 37 分。亨德里克在这里会进行一场赌博，特别是考虑到卡鲁斯在 6 月份才年满 24 岁，但他已经在奥莱利系列赛中参加了 50 多场比赛，其中在卡车系列赛中参加了 75 场比赛。卡鲁斯进入 48 号赛车的机会当然取决于他本赛季余下时间的表现，但他可能是亨德里克目前最好的内部选择之一。

罗斯查斯坦

如果罗斯查斯坦拥有更好的设备和拥有更多资源的团队，他能完成什么？他在 Trackhouse Racing 中完成了他所能做到的一切，使球队成为季后赛常年竞争者，在过去四个赛季中每个赛季都至少取得一场胜利。 Chastain 在进入 2026 年的过去三年中总共获得了 40 次前十名。然而，很明显 Connor Zilisch 很快就会成为球队的新面孔。下个赛季可能是查斯坦离开的最佳时机，他有机会真正展示他驾驶 48 号赛车的能力。

泰勒·雷迪克

Hendrick Motorsports 是否想为 23XI Racing 制造一场令人不安的竞购战？这才是真正的问题。鉴于泰勒·雷迪克刚刚创造了历史，成为第一位赢得本赛季前三场比赛的纳斯卡杯系列赛车手，我们不认为超级激进的竞争对手和亿万富翁迈克尔·乔丹会让任何人在雷迪克身上花费超过他。话虽如此，如果亨德里克想冲向围栏，雷迪克是目前合同到期的最佳车手，没有紧随其后的第二位。

克里斯·布舍尔

如前所述，亨德里克赛车运动目前并没有完全考虑内部选择。这至少可以让鲍曼有机会将 48 号赛车再保留一个赛季，因为车队认为本赛季是一次洗礼，并且对系统中任何未经证实的车手都没有信心。然而，克里斯·布舍尔可能正处于合同年。 2027 年他将进入 34 岁的赛季，因此也许一份为期三年的合同对双方都有利。近几个赛季，Buescher 一直是 RFK Racing 车队积分前 10 名的车手，绝对最大限度地发挥了他在 17 号赛车上所提供的一切。这对他来说是一个很好的情况，但拥有亨德里克资源的 48 号球队将为他提供更加稳定和更多胜利的机会。如果有人能将布舍尔从 RFK 手中拉走，那一定是英国皇家海军。

Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman enters the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season in a contract year, needing to prove himself once again if he wants to keep his ride in the No. 48 car long-term. Unfortunately for Bowman, medical problems (vertigo) have become the latest example of his terrible luck. Since this season is likely to be over and he will be the team’s only driver to miss The Chase, a replacement next season seems necessary.

Let’s take a look at our list of potential replacements for Bowman in the No. 48 car at Hendrick for the 2027 NASCAR season.

kyle busch

Hendrick Motorsports may look to Corey Day as a long-term option for the No. 48 seat, but the 20-year-old needs to learn how to race without a glitch in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series before becoming a full-time driver at the highest level. What could work is a succession plan, with Kyle Busch replacing Bowman for the next two years. The future Hall of Famer has had disastrous results with Richard Childress Racing, as evidenced by his lack of wins in the Cup Series approaching three points. Busch has partnered with Hendrick before, driving the No. 7 in the Truck Series. A two-year deal could give him a chance to add some wins before retiring. By then, Day could be ready.

carruth diagram

It’s still early in the season, but King Carruth is making the most of his opportunities at OARS. He has finished in the top 10 in three of his first 10 races, averaging 37 points per race on ovals this season. Hendrick may be gambling here, especially since Carruth will turn just 24 in June, but he will have driven more than 50 races in the O’Reilly Series along with 75 races in the Truck Series. Carruth’s chances of moving into the No. 48 car should certainly depend on how he performs the rest of this season, but he’s probably one of the top homegrown options for Hendrick so far.

Ross Chastain

What could Ross Chastain accomplish with better equipment and a team with more resources? He has achieved virtually everything he can at Trackhouse Racing, leading the team to become a perennial playoff contender with at least one win in each of the last four seasons. Chastain also boasts 40 combined top-10 finishes over the past three years leading up to 2026. However, it also seems pretty clear that Connor Zylisch will soon be the new face of the team. Next season may be the right time for Chastain to depart, giving her a chance to really show what she’s capable of in the No. 48 car.

tyler reddick

Does Hendrick Motorsports want to create an uncomfortable bidding war for racing the 23XI? This is the real question here. Given that Tyler Reddick made history as the first NASCAR Cup Series driver to win the first three races of the season, we don’t envision any scenario where ultra-aggressive competitor and billionaire Michael Jordan allows anyone but Reddick to overtake him. That said, if Hendricks wants to swing for the fences, Redick is the best driver on an expiring contract right now, and there isn’t anyone else around him.

Chris Buescher

As mentioned earlier, Hendrick Motorsports isn’t swimming in interior options right now. This could at least give Bowman a chance to keep the No. 48 car for another season, with the team seeing this season as a waste and not feeling confident with any unproven drivers in the system. However, Chris Buescher could be in a contract year. He will enter his age-34 season in 2027, so perhaps a three-year deal could work for both parties. Buescher has been a fairly consistent top-10 points driver in recent seasons for RFK Racing, fully maximizing what he’s been given in the No. 17 car. It’s a good situation for him, but the No. 48 team with Hendrick’s resources will provide him with even more consistency and a chance for more wins. If anyone could pull Buescher away from RFK, it would be HMS.
