“We had a fast No. 3 Bass Pro Shops/Winchester Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway. We missed our balance at the beginning. Our first run wasn’t bad, but we took two tires. You could tell we weren’t as good as we needed to be. We faded hard. We finally got the car tight enough, and then we freed it back up at the end. Our Chevrolet handled well in traffic towards the end of those last three restarts and we were able to inch our way forward. The track widened out toward the end, but the bottom was still the dominant lane. The top line was pretty hard. If you’re good on top, you’ve got something figured out. Overall, a solid day for our team.”

Kyle Busch and the No. 8 7-Eleven Chevrolet Team Leave Texas Motor Speedway with Top-20 Finish

“It was a long day at Texas Motor Speedway in our 7-Eleven Chevrolet. I slid through our pit stall in the middle of the race when we were going to take right side tires, so the pit crew had to push the car back and call an audible to take four tires instead. The way the race played out, it actually worked in our favor. We made adjustments to our Chevrolet throughout the race and got it to where it was absolutely hauling. We made another stop, took four tires and left it alone. I said to myself ‘ok, let’s go’ and then lost the rear end after going over one of the bumps. I don’t get it. I feel like every time it’s time to go and the race is on the line, I give it that extra bit, and I wall it. We’ll keep digging. Randall Burnett and the guys have a good piece heading to Kansas Speedway next week.”

University of North Carolina (UNC) Charlotte is hitting the NASCAR scene for the first time and doing it in style. They recently struck a deal with Front Row Motorsports to display the university’s branding on the No. 34 Ford F-150 driven by alumnus Layne Riggs. The truck will run in two NASCAR Truck Series races this May.
You can watch the truck at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 17 and Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 23. It will be hard to miss, since the truck’s paint scheme will match UNC Charlotte’s signature colors.
“My education is something I take a lot of pride in,” said Riggs in a team’s press release. “When I started my journey at Charlotte, I put a big emphasis on taking what I learned in the classroom and applying it to my racing career, something I still do today driving for Front Row Motorsports,” he further expressed.
The deal links Riggs’ time on track with his academic path. While earning his mechanical engineering degree from UNC Charlotte in 2024, he also won the Truck Series Rookie of the Year award, proving you can excel both in class and on track.
“At UNC Charlotte, we don’t just teach motorsports, we’re crafting the future of racing. Layne Riggs is a shining example of what happens when you combine engineering expertise with passion and grit,” stated Harish Cherukuri from the William States Lee College of Engineering.
After nine races this season, Riggs sits ninth in points. His top run came at Homestead-Miami, where he crossed the line in second place but was later disqualified after a post-race inspection. The 22-year-old driver has shown steady growth throughout the year.
Want to cheer him on? You can watch the North Wilkesboro race on FS1 or listen on SiriusXM channel 90. Green flag drops at 1:30 PM ET on May 17.
2025 Indianapolis 500 sold out – Indianapolis News | Indiana Weather | Indiana Traffic
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — For just the second time in its history, the Indianapolis 500 is a sellout. Well, almost.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — For just the second time in its history, the Indianapolis 500 is a sellout. Well, almost.
Doug Boles, president of the NTT IndyCar Series and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, announced Friday that a sellout is “imminent” and he expects the remaining grandstand tickets to be sold by the end of the day.
The first — and until now, only — grandstand sellout was in 2016 for the 100th running.
“The sheer size and scale of this crowd is going to be massive,” Boles said. “The 109th Running will be a full-scale, nonstop spectacle that draws the eyes of the world to Speedway, Indiana.”
Boles says the track will continue to sell general admission tickets until supplies run out.
Tickets have been in high demand all spring, with less than 10,000 grandstand seats available at the end of April. Brian Kaltenmark, senior marketing director for IMS, said May 1 that sales were up 4% year-over-year.
With packed grandstands and space for 100,000 fans in the infield, race day attendance could hit 350,000 — more than enough for the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” to continue its reign as the largest single-day sporting event in the world.
A sellout doesn’t just mean more people at the track — it means the race will be shown live on TVs across central Indiana for just the fourth time in 75 years.
The speedway implemented a local TV blackout in 1951 after two years of live broadcasts, believing the race would draw bigger crowds if people could not stay home and watch it. Officials promised to lift the local TV embargo if the race ever sold out — and both of those things happened in 2016. The blackout was lifted again in 2020, when the race was held in August due to the coronavirus pandemic, and a third time last year following a four-hour rain delay.
The “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” is still 9 days away, but plenty of fans will be at the track on Friday for “Fast Friday.” In the final practice session before qualifications, cars will receive a turbocharger boost to reach the speeds they will run during qualifying on Saturday and Sunday.
Practice is scheduled to run from noon to 6 p.m. The qualification draw is set for 6:15 p.m. in Pagoda Plaza.
The 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for Sunday, May 25. Join WISH-TV’s Daybreak starting at 5 a.m. for live coverage from IMS.
