But with darkness closing in due to an earlier 1

Cindric was previously announced as transitioning to the Cup Series full-time next season, driving the #21 Wood Brothers Ford, but Harrison Burton will now take that seat next year. Penske said 2012 Cup Series champion Keselowski was leaving the team “to pursue other opportunities within the sport”, which opens the door to the potential Roush-Fenway-Keselowski

The 2012 Cup series champion, who gave Penske its first title in NASCAR’s premier division, has driven for the team since the end of 2009 following his breakthrough victory at Talladega earlier that year with Phoenix Racing.

The 26-year-old scored his maiden Cup win on the Daytona road course earlier this year, but had endured a disappointing run of form with just five further top-10 finishes in the following 17 points-paying races prior to Road America. Bell had a gradual rise up the order in Sunday’s race, earning a penalty for driving

Ganassi entered NASCAR in 2001 and (currently winless in 2021) will likely leave it with a fairly meagre total of 14 wins at Cup level and 20 in the second-tier Xfinity Series. Compare those stats to its IndyCar and IMSA/Grand-Am sportscar numbers – 117 and 59 race wins respectively. Granted, two of those 14 Cup

Larson’s extensive sprint car background, including his continued participation in numerous races during the Cup season, has often raised questions over whether NASCAR was where he really wanted to be racing full-time.

Larson saved enough fuel to make it to the end as Sunday’s Ally 400 ended with a 68-lap green-flag run – the longest of the race, and took the checkered flag 4.335 seconds ahead of Ross Chastain, who reached the runner-up spot in the final laps. The #5 Hendrick Motorsports driver finished third in the

Larson held off his Hendrick Motorsports team-mate Chase Elliott in a two-lap overtime fight to secure the win in at Sonoma Raceway, but his victory never seemed seriously challenged.
