John Hunter Nemechek NASCAR Cup Series Watkins Glen
Year two with Legacy Motor Club in the NASCAR Cup Series has yielded six Top-10 finishes and a final four appearance in the inaugural NASCAR In-Season Bracket Challenge for John Hunter Nemechek. “We’re having conversations within the organization that we didn’t think that we would be having for another year or two, which is a […]

Year two with Legacy Motor Club in the NASCAR Cup Series has yielded six Top-10 finishes and a final four appearance in the inaugural NASCAR In-Season Bracket Challenge for John Hunter Nemechek.
“We’re having conversations within the organization that we didn’t think that we would be having for another year or two, which is a good stepping stone for us,” said Nemechek, who drives the #42 Toyota.
The son of longtime NASCAR driver Joe Nemechek has been climbing the ranks, from the Truck Series to the Xfinity Series, and now the Cup Series, fighting for a playoff spot.
“My goal is to be as consistent as possible this year throughout the season, and we’ve definitely been able to do that,” he said.
When Nemechek and others descend on Watkins Glen International Aug. 10, it’ll be a crucial race. With it being the third-to-last race before the postseason, it could get a bit hectic.
“Everyone’s going to be going for stage points,” Nemechek said. “I think that there’s going to be a lot of strategy that gets involved in the race of trying to put yourself in a position to be up front and track position-wise to have a shot to win it.”
It’s a course he’s never won. But a challenge Nemechek certainly embraces, trying to tackle this 90 lap, 220.5 mile road course race in front of what will likely be another electric crowd.
“The amount of campers, the amount of kids running around, fan perspective, everyone can get up on the fence, scaffolding built, standing on campers,” he said.
It’ll be a unique experience for Nemechek, and one he’ll get to share with his father, who will also be there participating in the HSR NASCAR Classic that weekend.
“It’ll be neat to have him here,” Nemechek said. “I think he’s going to spot for me on Sunday as well, in one of the spotter locations. So I’m sure that he’ll pipe up on the radio. He always does.”
The NASCAR Truck Series will take place Aug. 8, followed by the Xfinity Series on Saturday, and the Cup Series on Aug. 10.

F1 under fire for ‘grotesque’ caution at wet Belgian GP
(GMM) Formula 1’s cautious approach to racing in the wet came under intense fire after a farcical Belgian GP Sunday – with Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Dr Helmut Marko leading criticism of the FIA’s long delay and refusal to start in full wet conditions. Despite a wet setup gamble from Red Bull and others, […]

(GMM) Formula 1’s cautious approach to racing in the wet came under intense fire after a farcical Belgian GP Sunday – with Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Dr Helmut Marko leading criticism of the FIA’s long delay and refusal to start in full wet conditions.
Despite a wet setup gamble from Red Bull and others, the race was delayed for a painfully long time, beginning only after the heaviest rain had passed – and with multiple laps behind the safety car before a rolling start.
“That’s how you ruin a beautiful, classic race in the rain,” said Verstappen. “You’d be better off saying, ‘You know what, we’ll wait until it’s completely dry and then we’ll just start on slicks.’
“That’s not what a wet race is about.”

Often at loggerheads with the FIA, the quadruple world champion was highly critical once again.
“They just do what they want. They decide,” said the Dutchman. “I think it’s a shame for everyone. You’ll never really see those classic rain races again.”
Red Bull’s Marko was equally blunt: “We have to rethink the entire procedure. With two or three laps behind the safety car, we would have cleared the water from the track and been able to start an hour earlier.”
He added the delay ruined Red Bull’s strategy: “It meant our whole strategy with rain settings was no longer valid. Without any problems, it would have been a safe race.”
FIA race director Rui Marques was heavily criticised by several paddock figures and press outlets, with Marca calling the delay “the biggest nonsense in Formula 1” and Ekstra Bladet slamming F1’s “grotesque hesitation.”
Viaplay pundit and ex-F1 driver Heikki Kovalainen said: “We should be able to drive in this weather. This is a dangerous sport and you should be able to accept that. If you don’t, then you’re in the wrong sport.”
But others defended the caution. Charles Leclerc said: “On a track like this with what happened historically, I think you cannot forget about it. I’d rather be safe than too early.”
Race winner Oscar Piastri added: “Even with just Lando ahead of me, I couldn’t see a thing. You can only imagine what it’s like for the guys at the back.”
Carlos Sainz Jr., co-director of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, called the decision “correct,” pointing to Spa’s recent tragic history. “Given the bad history here, it’s better to be overly safe than to err on the side of excess risk.”

Seven-time world champion Hamilton, however, sided with Verstappen: “I kept saying we were ready to go. I think they just overreacted, because last time (at Silverstone) we told them not to start right away. This weekend it was the other way around.”
“I would definitely say I agree,” he added, when asked about Verstappen’s strong comments. “We could also have just done a standing start – the line was almost dry, and there wasn’t much spray further on.”
Nico Hulkenberg called the long delay a “mood killer,” while Soy Motor’s Jesus Munoz wrote: “Formula 1 has been stolen from us. And the worst part is that it’s sure to get worse.”

NASCAR Brickyard 400 results in full as Bubba Wallace claims huge win – Motorsport – Sports
23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace — amid his team’s antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR — was victorious at the Brickyard 400 after a protracted end to the race, staving off a lack of fuel to hold off a rampant Kyle Larson in second after overtime. “Bubba Wallace busts his bubble and wins his way to the […]

23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace — amid his team’s antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR — was victorious at the Brickyard 400 after a protracted end to the race, staving off a lack of fuel to hold off a rampant Kyle Larson in second after overtime.
“Bubba Wallace busts his bubble and wins his way to the playoffs,” the TNT broadcast said. This ends Wallace’s 100-race winless streak and gives him: a) a spot in the 2025 Cup Series playoffs, b) his third career Cup Series win, and c) 23XI Racing a statement victory amid their suit against NASCAR.
Wallace’s win in a mostly clean Brickyard 400 (besides an incident between Ross Chastain and Michael McDowell) gives him his first NASCAR “crown jewel” victory.
The caution was waved with six laps in regular to go as a radar that looked relatively clear turned wet. The yellow flag quickly changed to a red flag, and the race was delayed for over 25 minutes despite having less than five minutes remaining.
Three-time NASCAR Cup Series winner Joey Logano was cruising with 26 laps to go before he blew a tire. An opportunistic Wallace immediately passed before Brad Keselowski moved into the lead after a pit stop.
Indiana Pacers star Pascal Siakam, having led the hometown team to the NBA Finals, kicked off the festivities by driving the pace car before the Cookie Monster (of Sesame Street fame) started the race.
“Basketball and motorsports, Pacers and Racers, go hand in hand in Indianapolis,” said IndyCar and IMS President J. Douglas Boles. “Following the Pacer’s electrifying postseason run, it’s only fitting to have Siakam join us to pace the field as NASCAR’s biggest stars compete to win the in-season challenge and add their name to the history books with a win at the Brickyard.”
“This is my home now and I’m super excited to be here,” Siakam said. “You just want to continue to do good for the city, for the state, and again it’s another cool opportunity to see the people and hang out.”
Chase Briscoe, an Indiana native, made sure to greet Siakam before the race. He led after stage 1 and finished XX overall.
Ty Gibbs captured the one-million-dollar prize in the NASCAR In-Season Challenge by default after finishing ahead of Ty Dillon. This finishes off the eight-race gauntlet proposed by Denny Hamlin with an underdog victor.

The first caution of the day belonged the Ross Chastain after Michael McDowell shoved him into the wall on Lap 3. “Darn it, man. Didn’t mean to do that. Just didn’t think he’d jump on the binders that hard,” McDowell said on his radio (per Jeff Gluck of the Ahtletic).
McDowell’s No. 71 Chevy also had some trouble: the 40-year-old pitted during the caution with damage to both his splitter and his hood.
