Logano, Preece disqualified after NASCAR Talladega race
Ryan Preece finished second in a side-by-side finish with race winner Austin Cindric. He’ll now be credited with 38th. Preece’s Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing No. 60 Ford had three shims instead of the required two shims on the car’s spoiler, violating Rule 14.5.8.F.

Ryan Preece finished second in a side-by-side finish with race winner Austin Cindric. He’ll now be credited with 38th.
Preece’s Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing No. 60 Ford had three shims instead of the required two shims on the car’s spoiler, violating Rule 14.5.8.F. Preece finished second in the race but will be given a 38th-place finish.
Logano’s Team Penske No. 22 Ford was missing a spoiler bolt and violated NASCAR Rule 14.5.8.E. Logano’s fifth-place finish is nullified. He will be credited with 39th.
The move slightly dims a solid day for Ford, where Penske driver Austin Cindric won the race by half a car length over Preece. Kyle Larson will now be credited with second.
RFK Racing and Penske now hold the final four spots in Sunday’s race. Brad Keselowski (RFK Racing No. 6) and Ryan Blaney (Penske No. 12) crashed out early and initially had the final two spots in the finishing order.
Cindric won Sunday’s Jack Link’s 500 with a solid green flag pit stop from his crew in the closing stage. The lack of wrecks in the final stage allowed Cindric to keep the lead with help from Kyle Larson as the field ran double-file at the superspeedway.
RFK Racing and Penske will have the opportunity to appeal the penalties.

Euro 2025: England captain Williamson wary of ‘fantastic’ Sweden

ZURICH, Switzerland — England captain Leah Williamson has said they are wary of a Sweden team flying under the radar at Euro 2025 and believes the fact few are talking about their quarterfinal opponents as potential winners of the competition is “slightly disrespectful.”
England finished second in Group D and will face Sweden, who topped Group C, with a perfect nine points. That clean sweep of victories included a remarkable 4-1 dismantling of Germany last time out.
Williamson and England know Sweden well, and played each other in the semifinals of Euro 2022, a match England won 4-0. Since then, they’ve faced each other twice, with both matches ending in draws.
“Sweden are a fantastic team, they’re relentless in the way they go about their game,” Williamson said.
“I think they sort of avoid the expectation of every tournament, and nobody really talks about them, [which is] slightly disrespectful, I think, because they always show up and they always seem to pose a threat to most teams, and normally come out with a medal or [be] a semifinal team so, yes, they’re a strong team. We’re looking forward to the fixture.”
Williamson will come up against a few familiar faces, including her fellow Arsenal teammate Stina Blackstenius. When asked whether that familiarity may help her, Williamson answered: “Yes, I suppose so, but she knows me just as well so I think we’ll nullify each other’s threats there.”

For Georgia Stanway, she is wary of the physical threat Sweden pose.
“We’ve got a lot of experience against them,” she said. “Obviously they’re tough, they’re physical, they’re more direct. I’m not sure we’ve faced that so far in our group, but we do have a lot of experience against them. We review this game and we’ve got a few days’ rest and then we’ll do what we can to put ourselves in the best possible position.”
She added there’s little point drawing any comparisons between this match and the game back in Euro 2022.
“It’s a completely different tournament,” she said. “It’s really hard to compare anything that happens in other tournaments and yeah, our focus is on us, our focus is on making sure that we know our things going into the game.
“I think we just need to continue where we’ve been: have the intensity that we had against the Netherlands, press the way that we pressed, win the ball back as much as we did [against Wales]. We can only control what we can do.”

The Media Trade Conference is open to PRI business members. Learn more and register at sema.org/mtc.
Taking place January 27-29 in Anaheim, California, the conference will unveil the latest news from top brands in the motorsports world, as they provide updates on new and innovative products spanning high-performance parts, safety equipment, fluids, maintenance, and more.
Unlike a traditional trade show, where exhibitors meet with buyers and resellers, the Media Trade Conference focuses on private 30-minute meetings between manufacturers and media. Manufacturers participate in more than 40 meetings over the course of three days, gaining valuable, curated connections with journalists, editors, writers, podcasters, and content creators.
“The Media Trade Conference is the only industry event where brands can meet one-on-one with both traditional media and established content creators that can help them promote their brands and products to mass audiences,” said MPMC Director Marcy Yanus. “Our goal is to not only help our member manufacturers save time and money prospecting new partnerships but also discover how the media landscape is changing and leverage those insights to advance their business.”
Known for its speed-dating format, the MPMC Media Trade Conference makes it easy for exhibitors to share detailed information about their products, company updates, and plans for the racing season. Media publish the content they collect on their channels year-round. To help attendees further their connections beyond the meetings, networking breaks and a reception are scheduled throughout the week.
Attendees can maximize their ROI by registering early. Early-bird pricing for exhibitors is $850 until September 8 and will increase to $950 beginning September 9. Media registration will open in September. Learn more and register at sema.org/mtc.

Hendrick Motorsports Taps 20-Year-Old Rookie for Big Xfinity Debut at Dover
Jake Finch has never raced in the Xfinity Series before, but he’s about to get behind the wheel of one of NASCAR’s hottest cars. The 20-year-old ARCA driver will pilot Hendrick Motorsports’ No. 17 Chevrolet at Dover International Speedway, stepping into a ride that has already won twice in 2025 with prominent Cup Series drivers.

Jake Finch has never raced in the Xfinity Series before, but he’s about to get behind the wheel of one of NASCAR’s hottest cars. The 20-year-old ARCA driver will pilot Hendrick Motorsports’ No. 17 Chevrolet at Dover International Speedway, stepping into a ride that has already won twice in 2025 with prominent Cup Series drivers.
Can Jake Finch Handle the Pressure of the No. 17 Car?
Hendrick Motorsports (HMS) has ramped up its Xfinity Series activity in 2025. The No. 17 car made only 10 starts in NASCAR’s second-tier series in 2024, but 19 races into this season, that number has already climbed to 11. Another race start is scheduled for the upcoming Dover International Speedway race.
After all the team’s Cup drivers have already piloted the No. 17 car this season, Mr. H has handed the keys to a debutant this time. The car has been a beast on the track so far, with Kyle Larson, William Byron, Alex Bowman, Chase Elliott, and Corey Day running it. Out of the 11 races, the car has visited victory lane twice: First with Larson at Bristol Motor Speedway and then with Byron at Charlotte. Beyond those wins, the car finished seven times in the top five, with three runner-up finishes.
You can imagine the pressure that its newest pilot faces, especially when he’s never even set foot in the Xfinity Series before. Part-time ARCA Menards series driver Finch will be taking on the car at the “Monster Mile.” HMS even released a teaser video on X, with the caption: “Next up in the No. 17! @jamessfinch will drive the No. 17 @HendrickCarsChevy at the @MonsterMile.”

Why Did Hendrick Motorsports Choose Dover for Finch’s Debut?
Finch making an Xfinity start was already known in the NASCAR community, thanks to Dale Earnhardt Jr. revealing it earlier in his podcast. However, few would have guessed that HMS would put him at Dover. The Dover track is called the Monster Mile for a reason. The track’s high banking challenges the most seasoned veterans, let alone a rookie.
Despite the challenge, the 20-year-old has shown promise in the ARCA series. He has made 18 race starts so far. As Sports Illustrated reported, Finch has accumulated two wins, 11 top-five finishes, and 28 top-10s in his ARCA career. Additionally, he is currently running for Venturini Motorsports. He already has three starts to his name this season. His best finish was a seventh-place run at Talladega.
Finch has been good at Talladega, where he even won in 2024. But the reason why HMS picked Dover for Finch was that he won there in 2023. Clearly, Finch has the talent. However, the race won’t be easy. Xfinity Series regulars will be pushing extra hard as the regular season will soon come to a close. Those who haven’t already secured a win would be desperate to get a victory and a playoff spot.
Still, Finch has some of that No. 17 car’s form on his side. After all, he isn’t the only debutant to run the car this year. Before him, Day drove it for four races and had decent runs. His best was an 11th-place finish at Nashville.
There is a chance that Finch could pull off something extraordinary at Dover, too. Only time will tell how he fares in the race.

‘Nothing wrong’ for Ty Gibbs in NASCAR Cup top-10 finish at Sonoma

SONOMA, Calif. — Ty Gibbs continued to shine on road courses with “nothing wrong” in a seventh-place finish Sunday at Sonoma Raceway.

“Nothing wrong” was the ruling from NASCAR after drama unfolded on pit road between Gibbs’ No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing team and Brad Keselowski’s No. 6 RFK Racing team.
While coming into his pit box, Gibbs drove through Keselowski’s box where his crew prepared for a pit stop. Keselowski’s tire carrier, Telvin McClurkin, claimed Gibbs clipped his hand and twisted his wrist. After finishing the pit stop, McClurkin had a shoving match with Gibbs’ crew to express his displeasure.
RFK Racing posted video on social media showing the incident.
NASCAR ruled Gibbs did “nothing wrong,” according to the TNT broadcast, absolving of any penalties. In fact, NASCAR reportedly ruled Keselowski’s team should’ve given Gibbs more room to pull his car into his pit box.
All that to say, Gibbs and Keselowski had speed Sunday. While they didn’t have the pace to compete with Shane Van Gisbergen, both teams are headed in the right direction.
For Gibbs, he had another solid points day. He earned 32 points from finishing ninth in stage one and seventh in the race.
Still, leaving Sonoma at 60 points below the NASCAR Cup Series playoff cutline, a win may be what gets Gibbs into the playoffs. Luckily, the No. 54 team is improving as the season goes on.

In the 14 races before Michigan, Gibbs had only three top-15 finishes. In the six races since Michigan, Gibbs hasn’t finished outside of the top-15 and has picked up three top-10 finishes. Although he didn’t finish inside of the top-10 in Mexico City and EchoPark Speedway Atlanta, he led the second- and third-most laps in those races – leading 27 laps in Mexico City and 32 laps at EchoPark.
The next race for the NASCAR Cup Series is the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400, Sunday, July 20, at Dover Motor Speedway. In 2024, Gibbs finished 10th while teammate Denny Hamlin took home the checkered flag.
Gibbs is within striking distance of the playoff cutline but may need his teammate’s fortune to stave off another new winner knocking him down in points.
- Tyler Reddick: 615 points (+149 points to the cutline)
- Chris Buescher: 500 (+34)
- Alex Bowman: 498 (+32)
- Bubba Wallace: 469 (+3)
- Ryan Preece: 466 (-3)
- Kyle Busch: 432 (-37)
- A.J. Allmendinger: 419 (-50)
- Ty Gibbs: 409 (-60)
- Erik Jones: 401 (-68)
- Michael McDowell: 399 (-70)
