Bryan Hulbert – TULSA, Okla. (January 3, 2026) Making perfect laps around the Tulsa Expo Raceway, California’s Braxon Vasconcellos came away with his first career Golden Driller K&B Motorsports Restricted competition at the 41st Hyper Racing Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink.

Leading start to finish, the closing laps put Brycen Roush in hot pursuit of the No. 13v. Getting to the back bumper of Vasconcellos as the pair worked into slower traffic, Roush took a shot at the lead with three to go but could not get between the berm and the No. 13v without causing a crash.

Backing off and regrouping, Roush made one last run on the last lap, but Vasconcellos would not be denied, winning by 0.409 seconds.

Roush in second was followed by Chase DeMarco. A tussle on the initial start for Owen Larson, the No. 83 was shoved back in the right direction, and with it, held on for a fourth-place finish. Making the run from 13th, Brice Shaid made it to fifth.

Jaxon Porter went 20th to sixth, followed by Chase Schott, Cole Bezio, Miles Boertje, and Brexton Busch from 18th to round out the top ten.

K&B Motorsports Restricted A-Class consisted of 213 competitors.

The 42nd annual Hyper Racing Tulsa Shootout powered by NOS Energy Drink takes place December 29, 2026, through January 2, 2027, at the Tulsa Expo Raceway, located inside the SageNet Center at Expo Square.

NASCAR veteran Jeb Burton will partner with Jordan Anderson for the fourth consecutive season, with one unmistakably clear priority.

The NASCAR star aims to win at Daytona International Speedway, a track that has been a constant in his career, representing both opportunity and unresolved challenge. At 33 years old, Burton understands how few clean chances the sport actually gives.

He will drive the No. 27 car for the United Rentals 300 at Daytona on February 14th as a full-time driver for the first race of the next season, and his top-desired prize. The 2026 Cup Series Daytona race will feature the inclusion of  Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s JR Motorsports. 

“With Daytona, I really want to win there,” Burton said on the Crossroads podcast. “I’ve been close to winning there before, and leading in Turn 3 on the last lap in the No. 10 car in 2021 was the closest.”

That 2021 United Rentals 300 saw Burton finish fourth despite carrying minor nose damage after a three-car incident triggered the ninth caution on Lap 114 of a scheduled 120. Burton finished behind Austin Cindric, Brett Moffitt, and his cousin Harrison Burton.

His lone Cup Series appearance at the track in 2015 ended early with a DNF after wrecking in qualifying. In the Xfinity Series, the results have swung unpredictably, with finishes of 25th in 2016 and 23rd in 2020, before the near-breakthrough in 2021.

Since then, Daytona has given him just enough hope to keep returning, including finishes of 19th in 2022, 11th in 2023, 26th in 2024, and 16th last season. Burton finished fifth in the Truck Series race at Daytona in 2013 and seventh in an ARCA start in 2014, which ended in 29th place.

Last season, Burton finished 14th in the Xfinity Series standings across 33 starts. He posted one top-five finish and eight top-10s, with his best result coming at Talladega, where he finished second.

He added a trio of sixth-place finishes at Martinsville, the Charlotte Road Course, and Atlanta. The season showed steadiness, but no reward at Daytona.

The 2025 United Rentals 300 saw Burton finish in 16th after starting the race in 22nd place. He finished stage one in 4th after 30 laps, maintained position with a 6th place in stage two, and fell behind the back in the final 60 laps.

Burton scored 33 points in the Drivers’ championship, but it wasn’t enough to achieve his primary goal. The Burton family has had notable success at Daytona.

Ward Burton, Jeb’s father, won the 2002 Daytona 500 as one of his career highlights. He ended his NASCAR journey with five Cup Series wins. Jeff, Jeb’s uncle, won the 2000 Pepsi 400 at Daytona, and his cousin Harrion claimed victory in the 2024 Coke Zero Sugar 400.

In the high-octane world of Formula 1, 2025 will be remembered as a season of redemption, rookies, and raw talent triumphing over machinery. Lando Norris etched his name in history by clinching the Drivers’ Championship for McLaren, edging out the competition with a razor-thin two-point margin over Max Verstappen in a nail-biting Abu Dhabi finale.

–by Mark Cipolloni–

But beneath the confetti and champagne, a different narrative emerged from the paddock’s insiders and experts: Max Verstappen, piloting what many deemed an “inferior” Red Bull RB21 plagued by volatility and early-season woes, was unanimously hailed as the standout performer of the year.

The story begins in the shadows of Red Bull’s garage, where Verstappen faced an uphill battle from the start. The RB21, once a dominant force, struggled with balance issues and lacked the outright pace of McLaren’s MCL60 or Mercedes’ resurgent W16. As Goodwood’s analysis pointed out, Verstappen’s car was “not worthy of some of his drives” early on, forcing him into defensive modes and come-from-behind heroics. Yet, the Dutchman rattled off eight wins and eight poles, including a stunning recovery from over 100 points down after his home Dutch Grand Prix to nearly snatch the title.

Speedcafe lauded this as “arguably the greatest season by a driver who didn’t win the championship,” emphasizing how Verstappen’s composure turned a “volatile” car into a contender. Even Flashscore noted he achieved the most wins and poles “despite being in a much worse car than Norris and Piastri.”

The turning point came post-summer break, when Red Bull rectified the RB21’s faults. Verstappen unleashed a barrage of podiums and victories, unsettling McLaren’s duo and dragging his team back into the fight. His peers, in the exclusive drivers’ poll hosted by Formula1.com, voted him Driver of the Year for the fifth consecutive time, recognizing his “remarkable fightback” in the season’s final stint.

Team principals echoed this sentiment, ranking him first despite the hardware disadvantage. One blemish? A controversial collision with George Russell in Spain, where Verstappen “lost his head” and incurred a penalty that cost crucial points. But that moment only humanized the imperious driver, who otherwise delivered “poles and wins that defied belief.”

Meanwhile, Norris’s championship run was a masterclass in consistency, bolstered by McLaren’s superior car. Yet, in expert eyes, it was Verstappen’s ability to extract magic from mediocrity that set him apart. As the season wrapped, a chorus of rankings from respected outlets and insiders solidified this view. Autosport’s writers placed him atop their list, praising his all-around brilliance. Even in fan-influenced polls like Clip The Apex, where Norris edged him out, Verstappen’s resilience shone through.

To determine the overall consensus, we scoured the web for all major published top-10 rankings of 2025 F1 drivers, excluding user-generated content like Reddit . This yielded six key sources: Autosport Writers, F1 Team Principals, F1 Drivers’ Vote, Goodwood, Speedcafe. Each list was compiled into a comparison table below for transparency.

Compiled Top-10 F1 Drivers of 2025

Based on a comprehensive web search, I’ve compiled top-10 rankings from key published sources on the 2025 F1 season. These include the official championship standings (for reference) and subjective rankings from motorsport outlets and insider polls. The sources represent a balanced distribution: expert analyses (Autosport Writers, The Athletic, Speedcafe, Goodwood) and insider votes (Team Principals, Drivers’ Vote).

Overall Top-10 F1 Drivers of 2025

To aggregate an overall ranking, I assigned points using the F1 system (25 for 1st, 18 for 2nd, 15 for 3rd, 12 for 4th, 10 for 5th, 8 for 6th, 6 for 7th, 4 for 8th, 2 for 9th, 1 for 10th) across the **six subjective sources only** (excluding official standings). Drivers not in a list score 0 for that source. Ties were broken by number of top-10 appearances, then highest single position achieved.

Former Williams driver Logan Sargeant is set to return to the cockpit at the end of January, when he competes in the 24 Hours of Daytona.

His seat was handed to Franco Colapinto, who went on to impress with a string of strong results and ultimately secured a full-time drive with Alpine at the start of 2025, replacing Jack Doohan.

In November 2024, he carried out a private test with Meyer Shank Racing at The Thermal Club, getting his first taste of an IndyCar in a closed-door outing. However, the test has yet to open the door to a race seat, with no concrete proposal emerging.

Now, Logan Sargeant will have a major opportunity to put himself back in the spotlight, returning to competitive action from Wednesday, January 21 to Sunday, January 25, 2026 with Era Motorsport — marking his official comeback to racing.

The American will share the No. 18 Oreca 07 LMP2 with Ferdinand Habsburg, a known driver in Endurance Racing, alongside an Indian-American tech entrepreneur Naveen Rao.

“I’m super excited to be tackling my first-ever Daytona 24 with Era to kick off 2026,”  Sargeant commented.

“It’s a race I’ve always wanted to be part of, with how close it is to home. It’ll be great to get acquainted with my teammates at the ROAR and push hard to come away with a Rolex at the end of the race.”

Sargeant had already sampled IMSA competition last season, taking part in the final two rounds of the championship with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, though the outings ultimately yielded no standout results.

NASCAR and the wider motorsports world are grieving the sudden loss of a respected leader and beloved figure. 

Michael Printup, a 30-year veteran of the sport and current Chief Operating Officer of Racing America, has died unexpectedly at the age of 60, just days after NASCAR released a statement when Denny Hamlin’s father passed away.

Racing America confirmed the news on Thursday, issuing a statement that said the organization is “devastated to confirm the sudden passing of Chief Operating Officer Michael Printup.”

“Michael was an icon in motorsports, a great partner and a friend. His passion for racing and commitment to the industry made a lasting impact on the sport. He will be deeply missed,” the statement added.

Printup’s career spanned nearly three decades, much of it spent within NASCAR and its related properties. A native of Hamburg, New York, he began his journey in motorsports working for International Speedway Corporation in 2000.

Over time, he climbed the ranks to become the president of Watkins Glen International, one of America’s most storied road course venues, a position he held for 15 years.

His tenure at Watkins Glen was marked by significant growth and improvements. Printup oversaw infrastructure enhancements and worked to expand the track’s offerings beyond race weekends. 

Under his leadership, Watkins Glen became a cherished stop on the NASCAR schedule and a respected fixture in the broader racing community.

In July 2023, Printup accepted a new challenge by joining Racing America as President of the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA), an organization dedicated to historic motorsport and vintage racing. 

Just six months later, in January 2024, he was promoted to COO of Racing America, where he oversaw the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli along with all racing operations across the organization.

Colleagues and fellow industry figures responded to the news with heartfelt tributes. Trans Am Series President Andy Lally remembered Printup as a close friend and mentor, noting the support and guidance he provided throughout their years of collaboration.

Lally said, “For more than 15 years, Michael has been a great friend … I leaned on him a lot for advice in so many areas, and he was incredibly generous with his time. I’m going to miss him terribly.”

Max Verstappen has emerged as the best Formula 1 driver from the 2025 season, according to team principals, drivers themselves, as well as Motorsport, Autosport and their readers.

All current team bosses and racers were asked by F1 to submit their top 10s, applying the 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 points system to create separate standings. No representative from Red Bull and Ferrari took part in the vote, with Lewis Hamilton, Nico Hulkenberg, Yuki Tsunoda and Lance Stroll also skipping it.

Motorsport’s sister publication Autosport and its F1 writers Stuart Codling and Jake Boxall-Legge established our own ranking, while Autosport readers’ race-by-race average ratings were aggregated into a top 10.

In all four instances, Verstappen was placed at the top, but behind him it was quite tight between Lando Norris, George Russell, Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc. The new world champion was slightly more successful than Mercedes’ lead driver, his McLaren team-mate, and Ferrari’s top performer.

Those five were widely considered as the best five drivers of the season, though team principals ranked Leclerc lower than Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz on average. The Spaniards were part of numerous midfield contenders for the top six, where Hulkenberg featured twice too; Isack Hadjar was the only midfielder to be included in all top 10s.
