Kyle Larson

Kyle Busch is off to a solid start with Richard Childress Racing. He's won once, has two top-10 finishes and is fourth in points, Busch had one of the four Chevrolets to sweep the first four races of the season. He says wins by Ford and Toyota in the last two races are a good thing because parity means no one knows who will win any given week.

Joey Logano dominated early and then passed Brad Keselowski on the final lap to win NASCAR’s race at Atlanta and end the early season domination of Chevrolet and Hendrick Motorsports. Logano won the pole but Keselowski looked like the Ford driver to beat late in the race. 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR levied the largest combined fine on one team in series history Wednesday, hammering Hendrick Motorsports for modifying air-deflecting pieces last weekend at Phoenix Raceway.

William Byron won his second straight NASCAR Cup Series race, taking advantage of a pair of late cautions to give Hendrick Motorsports a victory in overtime at Phoenix Raceway. Byron’s No. 24 Chevrolet got a great start in overtime with two laps left, and just like he did a week earlier at Las Vegas, he overtook teammate Kyle Larson for the win. 

Kevin Harvick has had a big share of his best Cup Series moments at Phoenix Raceway. And Sunday is one of two chances to get win No. 10 in the desert and join some elite company before he retires after this season. Harvick is seeking to become just the sixth driver in NASCAR Cup Series to win 10 times at one track. Others who have done that include Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt and David Pearson.

William Byron took the lead on the second-to-last lap of overtime to win the NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas and put an exclamation mark on a dominant day for Hendrick Motorsports. The top three drivers were from Hendrick, with Byron beating teammates Kyle Larson and Alex Bowman.

Kyle Busch sent Fontana off in style. The veteran stormed up from the back after an early penalty and earned his first victory for Richard Childress Racing while winning on this Southern California track for the fifth time. Busch held off Chase Elliott and Ross Chastain in NASCAR’s final race on the gloriously weathered asphalt at Auto Club Speedway, which will soon be demolished to make room for a half-mile track.

Most of NASCAR's Cup Series drivers feel like they're saying their final goodbye to a dear old friend this weekend. Auto Club Speedway has a track that's seemingly adored by every professional wheelman on the continent. Those two miles of gloriously weathered asphalt have allowed racers to be their best selves with the ideal combination of grip and space during a quarter-century of memorable Sundays.

The ultimate prize on NASCAR’s ultimate stage has eluded Kyle Busch throughout his professional career. Busch is winless in 17 starts in the Daytona 500. He will try to change his fortunes in the 65th running of “The Great American Race” on Sunday. 

Alex Bowman won his third career Daytona 500 pole and will be joined by Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson on the front row for NASCAR's season opener. The Hendrick dominance is no surprise. Bowman is on the Daytona 500 front row for the the sixth straight time and the organization has produced a pole winner in eight of the last nine years. Jimmie Johnson and Travis Pastrana both qualified for the race. They were among six drivers competing for four open spots in the Daytona 500.

Kyle Larson will attempt to race the Indianapolis 500 in 2024 as well as the Coca-Cola 600 — NASCAR’s longest race of the season — at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the same day.
