Trying to confirm but I think the rest of Auto Club has been sold.

Auto Club Speedway is officially dead. NASCAR sold off the remaining land that they owned. My home track is now gone 😔🥺💔 pic.twitter.com/xe0k4gcQZr

Kaulig Racing is on a Cup Series island. No resources/data, no simulator, and no access to Chevrolet teammates. They work off old notes and car feel. It's not easy.

But they've embraced being forced to adapt to racing in a different way.

New for ESPN:

I know the dinger has not been as great lately but seeing him hang around the top 20 in points with as little support as they have was very impressive.

It's very impressive.

So apparently NASCAR has not sold Auto Club.

This report is incorrect. NASCAR still owns the same area of land it has owned since selling a large section of the property. No changes. The documents in question are related to a cancelation of an easement. https://t.co/4BT4QFOnxq

Kyle Busch's final lesson for a sport built on risk

Eleven years later, that reputation made the details of his death that much more stunning -- killed by sepsis, not a ride into the wall. "Rowdy" was felled by a cold that progressed into pneumonia, then sepsis.

Men are almost twice as likely as women to have no usual source of healthcare, according to the CDC's 2024 National Health Interview Survey. A 2019 study found that avoidance of healthcare was linked to perceived male roles, among other factors. And a 2016 study found that linking one's self-worth to masculine ideals was associated with barriers to seeking healthcare among both men and women.

It's impossible to know whether continuing to drive killed Busch, or whether taking a weekend off might've saved him. Some peers who encountered him in his final week could tell he was sick, but others couldn't.
Kurt Busch, who met with family members and Kyle's doctors in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the days after his death, said he was told by a doctor that Kyle's death, a result of rapidly worsening pneumonia, was "one in a million."

"There's a flaw in the driver's DNA," (Kyle) Petty said. "Somewhere in our DNA, we never, ever, ever believe it's going to happen to us. It's always somebody else. It's denial. "In the larger picture of what the sport is, you have to have that denial, because if you don't have that denial, that ability to come out the other side of it, then you can't crawl through that window and drive a car."

Bill Janitz, Busch's longtime former media relations man and friend, said Kyle taught Brexton one principle so essential that lacking it would render any other traits moot. "If you're going to do this, you can't drive with fear," Janitz said. "No fear. Does that bleed into your personal life? I think it has to. But I think Kyle impressed upon him that that's what it takes to be great at this."

Nice crowd for the truck race.

Seeing that NASCAR will have a truck race at Bowman Gray next year.

Race today will start on wet weather tires. Rain has stopped at the track.

That was a big topic there last night, they were excited for the announcement and to be doing it on championship night for the weekly series.

Unfortunately the races got rained out. The Sportsman race did finish but thr modified race was cut short. The other classes didnt get a chance to race at all.

The truck race at Bowman will be a wreck fest for sure. The Cup series was tolerable, not sure about trucks.

This track is completely wet, this should get interesting.

36 or trucks seems like a lot for that track?

This race is going to be a cluster ****

Just me, but motor racing should not ever be ran in wet weather. Although, I'm listening to the scanner and the drivers gave the thumbs up.

Really pulling for my 21. Fingers crossed.....

Hard hit for sure.

Good win for Blaney. Good run also for Wallace and Josh Berry

Next up Daytona

Happy to see Ford coming to life. P1 for the 12 and P3 for the 21.

Was pulling for Berry

He gave it a really good run. Was nice to see some good racing like that at the end of a race...

Would really L-O-V-E to see Preece catch SVG next week, but these guys on TV sure do act like 31 points is a lot closer than it really is... finished 4th yesterday and only picked up 19. He ain't going to catch him unfortunately.

Boy, Diffey sure has reined himself in since two years ago... he was much better last season than he was the first one - and now yesterday he just much more naturally blends in with the rest of the announcing team, and he seems to have finally dropped the Dickie V "look at me" approach... *Cary is probably disappointed though.
