CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Drivers Kurt Busch, Ray Hendrick and Harry Gant were voted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Tuesday, while executive Humpy Wheeler was named the Landmark Award winner for his contribution to the sport.

A ceremony will be held to officially induct the Class of 2026 into the Hall of Fame.

The 46-year-old Busch, a first-ballot selection, held off Jimmie Johnson to win the 2004 Cup Series championship and went on to win 34 Cup races, including at least one in 19 of 21 of his full-time seasons on the premier circuit before retiring in 2023.

His journey to NASCAR stardom began in 2000 with a Truck Series rookie season that foreshadowed greatness. His big breakthrough came in 2004, when he became the first driver to win the title under NASCAR’s “playoff” system – a feat that proved both his excellence and adaptability.

The consistent Busch finished in the top 10 in the Cup Series standings 10 times.

Hendrick, who died in 1990 at age 61, was the original “Mr. Modified.”

He is one of the winningest drivers of all time, with than 700 modified and late model sportsman wins between 1950-88. His success started in his home state of Virginia, where his No. 11 was well know. He won five track championships at South Boston Speedway — four modified and one late model sportsman.

He was known as a driver that was willing to race “anywhere and everywhere,” and did just that. He filled his schedule with modified and late model sportsman races across the East coast. Hendrick was known best for his wins on short tracks, but also produced victories at Talladega, Charlotte and Dover.

Despite never winning a Modified Division championship, Hendrick finished in the top 10 in the standings nine times from 1960-69.

The 85-year-old Gant, known as the “Bandit” for his long-time sponsorship with Skoal Bandits, won 18 Cup Series races, including the Southern 500 in 1984 and 1991. In the five seasons from 1981 through 1985, he finished in the top five in points four times, including a runner-up championship finish to Terry Labonte in 1984.

He also won 21 Xfinity Series races.

Gant raced into his 50s, and still holds premier series records for oldest driver to win a race (52 years old) and a pole (54). He drove the first race car with a telemetry system installed in it at Talladega in 1985 and relayed the data to CBS during its coverage of the event.

This was the Gant’s seventh time on the ballot.

All three were among NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers and one of NASCAR Modified’s All-Time Top 10 Drivers.

Wheeler became synonymous with promotion and innovation.

He spent 33 years as the president and general manager of Charlotte Motor Speedway and played a pivotal role in transforming the venue into a world-class facility.

Wheeler added a new dynamic to the sport, a visionary whose leadership and creativity helped shape today’s fan experience with the introduction of dramatic prerace ceremonies and the development of night racing at superspeedways.

He was known for his innovative promotions and stunts.

Reddick sponsor announced as Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing scores huge win – Motorsport – Sports

23XI Racing and Tyler Reddick secured a major win after revealing that they’ve landed a new primary sponsor.

It’s been a rollercoaster year for Michael Jordan’s Cup Series team, which remains embroiled in an ugly legal dispute with NASCAR. 23XI additionally made team history earlier this month by fielding four drivers at Kansas Speedway, including development driver Corey Heim – a decision that was welcomed by Bubba Wallace.

Amidst speculation that 23XI could soon lose several of its drivers, the organization received a huge boost once it was announced that they’d expanded their longstanding partnership with Pinnacle Financial Partners.

As part of the new multi-year deal, Pinnacle will serve as the primary sponsor for Reddick’s No. 45 Toyota Camry XSE in two races this season — the NASCAR Cup Series Race at Nashville on June 1 and the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol on September 13.

“Our team has enjoyed the partnership with Pinnacle since Tyler joined the team, and we’re excited to grow our relationship with Pinnacle to more prominently feature their brand on the No. 45 car,” 23XI president Steve Lauletta said in an official statement.

“Much like 23XI, Pinnacle is driven to be impactful for their clients, their employees, and their community, and we look forward to developing more programs and activations with them.”

Back in 2018, Pinnacle first began working with Reddick while he was still competing in the Xfinity Series. The Nashville-based company has acted as an associate sponsorship partner for 23XI’s No. 45 team since 2023, with the upcoming Nashville race marking the first time it’s served as a Cup Series primary sponsor.

“The group at Pinnacle has played such an important role in my career, and I’m honored to have the chance to represent them in a greater way through this partnership expansion,” Reddick said. “From supporting me earlier in my career to continuing to believe in me and what we’re doing at 23XI, I’m excited to represent all the associates at Pinnacle and look forward to having a great opening race with them in Nashville.”

DON’T MISS:

At Nashville Superspeedway and Bristol Motor Speedway, the No. 45 team will proudly display Pinnacle’s logo on their equipment and Reddick’s driver uniform. “Pinnacle and 23XI are such a great match for each other because we both share a vision of being the best,” Pinnacle’s director of music, sports and entertainment Andy Moats said.

“The love for NASCAR and racing runs deep at our firm, and we’ve been with Tyler for a long time. Working alongside him as he’s grown into the racer he is today has been a privilege, and this partnership will bring us even closer to him, his team and the incredible community that surrounds this sport.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Given his résumé, Kurt Busch knew it was a matter of when, not if, he would be selected into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Still, getting voted in on the first ballot on Tuesday was a huge relief for Busch, who let out an emotional sigh of relief after hearing his named called at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

“I’m very grateful and thankful that it happened this first time,” Busch said. “You want to have that answer as fast as you can.”

Ray Hendrick and Harry Gant were also voted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Tuesday, while executive Humpy Wheeler was named the Landmark Award winner for his contribution to the sport. A ceremony will be held to officially induct the Class of 2026 into the Hall of Fame in March.

The 46-year-old Busch held off Jimmie Johnson to win the 2004 Cup Series championship and went on to win 34 Cup races, including at least one victory in 19 of his 21 full-time seasons on the premier circuit before he retired in 2023.

The consistent Busch finished in the top 10 in the Cup Series standings 10 times.

“Things happened fast for me in this sport and I don’t know how or why,” Busch said. “There was no template, there wasn’t the ladder that these days you see the kids that have a system where it is going to be this or that. For me it was being in the right place at the right time and the universe smiled down on me.”

Hendrick, who died in 1990 at age 61, was the original “Mr. Modified.”

He is one of the winningest drivers of all time, with than 700 modified and late model sportsman wins between 1950-88.

He also won 21 Xfinity Series races.

Members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame Voting Panel met Tuesday in an in-person closed session at the Charlotte Convention Center to debate and vote on the 15 nominees for the induction class of 2026 and the five nominees for the Landmark Award.

The 49-person voting panel included representatives from NASCAR, the Hall of Fame, track owners from major facilities and historic short tracks, media members, manufacturer representatives, competitors (drivers, owners, crew chiefs), recognized industry leaders, a nationwide fan vote conducted through NASCAR.com and the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion (Joey Logano).

Busch and Gant both received 61% of the “modern era” ballot votes. Jeff Burton finished third, followed by Harry Hyde and Randy Dorton.

Hendrick received 31% of the “pioneer” ballot votes. Bob Welborn finished second.

Gant raced into his 50s, and still holds premier series records for oldest driver to win a race (52 years old) and a pole (54). He drove the first race car with a telemetry system installed in it at Talladega in 1985 and relayed the data to CBS during its coverage of the event.

This was the Gant’s seventh time on the ballot. He did not attend the announcement ceremony on Tuesday and was not available for comment.

All three were among NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers and one of NASCAR Modified’s All-Time Top 10 Drivers.

Wheeler became synonymous with promotion and innovation.

Cadillac unveils Mobil 1 as Le Mans sponsor

No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R livery to feature iconic brand

DETROIT (May 20, 2025) – Cadillac welcomes Mobil 1™ brand as its primary sponsor of the No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The livery features the iconic Mobil 1 logo across the sides and front of the blue and white Hypercar, symbolizing a powerful collaboration in motorsport excellence.

“Mobil 1 and Cadillac Racing are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of performance and innovation in motorsport,” said John Roth, Vice President, Global Cadillac. “We’re excited to welcome the Mobil 1 brand as the primary sponsor of the No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.”

Cadillac Racing looks to contend for the overall victory while showcasing its all-new livery featuring the Mobil 1 brand. Earlier this year, the Mobil 1 team announced an extension of its technical alliance with Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), further solidifying its role as the Official Motor Oil of Cadillac Racing.

“Le Mans is the ultimate proving ground in motorsport, and we’re proud to support Cadillac’s ambitions through our continued technical partnership,” adds Tony Esposito, Strategic Global Alliance Manager, on behalf of the Mobil 1 team. “This new livery reflects what our work with Cadillac is all about – performance, passion and pushing boundaries. We’re thrilled to see it come to life on track at Le Mans, where our legacy in motorsport continues.”

Cadillac Racing will contest the 93rd edition of the twice-around-the-clock race on the 8.467-mile course incorporating public roads with a four-car factory program lineup that features drivers who have accumulated 21 Le Mans podiums.

Cadillac Racing is in its third season of WEC competition, which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans among eight races, with the No. 12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R driven by Alex Lynn, Norman Nato and Will Stevens and the No. 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R driven by Earl Bamber, Sebastien Bourdais and Jenson Button.

The No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R driven by Jordan Taylor, Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque and the No. 311 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R driven by Jack Aitken, Felipe Dragovich and Frederik Vesti are full-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship contenders in the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class competing as the Nos. 10 and 31, respectively.

Cadillac Racing earned a third-place finish at Le Mans in 2023 after a 21-year hiatus and qualified second and third in 2024 with a best finish of seventh among its three-car contingent.

The Cadillac V-Series.R, powered by the purpose-built 5.5-liter DOHC V8 engine, marks the third-generation Cadillac prototype racecar and the brand’s first hybrid electrified race car. Co-developed by Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing and chassis constructor Dallara, the racecar represents the fifth generation of the V-Series, incorporating key Cadillac V-Series production car design elements such as vertical lighting and floating blades.

Motorsport provides a testbed for the Cadillac and Mobil 1 brands to transfer knowledge and technology between racecars and production vehicles.

The performance, durability, and efficiency of systems tested under extreme conditions directly influence the design of Cadillac production vehicles — delivering innovation, power, and reliability to customers.
