AUSTIN DILLON QUOTES:
When you see Dover Motor Speedway coming up on the calendar as a driver, what are some things that come to mind that you know you have to concentrate on or be key on, that you may not have to worry about at other tracks on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule?
“Intensity is the first thing I think. You know, you’re going to have a wicked up pace at Dover Motor Speedway. It’s a fast, impressive place, and breathtaking when you go off in the corner. It’s one of those places that it gets the heart pumping.”
You have three top-10s at Dover Motor Speedway. What’s it going to take to get a fourth, and why is this track so tough?
“It’s physically demanding. The car is getting beat up a lot. I feel like the way the track is, you’re going from these big elevation changes down into the corner and out of the corner. It puts a lot of G-force load on you. I think trying to find a car that works well while your tires are worn from the concrete is tough. There are a lot of challenges at Dover Motor Speedway, and it’s not the easiest place to pass once it gets rubbered up.”
For a new fan, how would you explain the difference between driving on concrete versus asphalt tracks?
“When the rubber starts to fill those crevices in the concrete, the best way I could explain it is your front tires feel very greasy, like they just kind of slide across the top of the track and you don’t really feel them ever take a good bite. You’re sliding up, and when it’s ready to go back left, you pick up the gas and try and get back going. On asphalt tracks, you always have that edge. You can feel the right front. At Dover Motor Speedway and Bristol Motor Speedway, you’re a little bit on top of the track as it rubbers up.”
Dover Motor Speedway is challenging because you go from 24 degrees of banking to nine degrees. Is this one of the tracks that you have to play that game the most of ‘loose is fast’?
“Our practice session on Saturday morning is important because as the track changes during the race, you need one balance at the beginning of practice that you probably aren’t going to have during the race. So you’re trying to set up for race pace, but you go really fast at the beginning when the track rubbers down, so the pace changes tremendously and you’ve got to have a good team behind you that can keep up with that. As a driver, I’ve got to know that it’s not going to drive perfect at all times. You look forward to when the rubber gets laid down because you’re going to have a better car at that point in the race.”
Kyle Busch and the No. 8 Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Chevrolet at Dover Motor Speedway… Kyle Busch has made 36 career NASCAR Cup Series starts at Dover Motor Speedway, clinching three wins, 14 top-five finishes, and 22 top-10 finishes. He has led 1,375 laps at the Monster Mile and holds an average finish of 13.9. Busch is looking to carry momentum forward following last week’s top-10 finish at Sonoma Raceway.
Monster Success… The Las Vegas native earned his first Cup Series win at Dover Motor Speedway in 2008 after leading 158 laps and dominating the second half of the race. In addition to his success in the premiere series, he has also won races at Dover in both the NASCAR Xfinity Series (5) and the NASCAR Truck Series (4).
Did You Know?… Busch is a four-time pole winner in the Cup Series at Dover Motor Speedway, and heads into this weekend’s race as the track’s defending polesitter after earning back-to-back poles at the track in 2023 and 2024.
Climbing the Ladder… Coming off his 10th-place finish at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday, Busch gained one spot in the NASCAR Cup Series driver standings, moving him to the 15th position.

The car will be officially unveiled on Friday in front of more than 200 service members, their families and other dignitaries at Dover Air Force base.

Mastering the Legends… During Round 8 of the Summer Shootout Series on Tuesday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Busch scored his fifth victory of the summer in the Legends Masters division.
KYLE BUSCH QUOTES:
If you have some clean days, are you going to be right there in the points battle and in position to earn a spot in the NASCAR Playoffs? Specifically, what is the goal for Dover Motor Speedway this weekend?
“You know, if we are able to consistently knock out top-five, and top-10 finishes, yes. Looking ahead to Dover Motor Speedway this weekend with our Cheddar’s Camaro, I feel like we had a good car there last year. We had some issues on pit lane that set us back a couple of times, but we were still able to come out of there with a decent finish. We want to try to do that again this time, as you said, a little cleaner.”
You gained points to the playoff cut line this week. Can you erase that deficit in six races, or do you feel like you’re in a must win situation?
“I think you can, if you’re smart, play it the right way, and keep yourself up front to get those stage points. In these races, yes you can do it. Now we go back to the ovals where it’s a little more evenly separated between the competition. There is a slight chance that somebody outside of the playoffs will win, and you have to start all over again. The task at hand right now is to knock off eight points per race. If you look at it, divide 40 points into six races. That’s going to be somewhere around the seven-to-eight-point range per race that you need to have in order to put yourself in the playoffs on points.”
Jesse Love and the No. 2 Whelen Chevrolet at Dover Motor Speedway… Jesse Love has made one career NASCAR Xfinity Series start at Dover Motor Speedway, leading 21 laps one year ago while driving the No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. The Menlo Park, California native has also competed in two ARCA Menards Series East events (best finish of second in 2022) at the one-mile, concrete oval.
Standings Update… Through 19 events in the regular season schedule, Love sits in the fifth position in the Xfinity Series driver championship point standings – 35 points behind fourth-place Connor Zilisch.

JESSE LOVE QUOTE:
What makes Dover Motor Speedway so different than any other track on the schedule?
“Dover is my favorite racetrack. I love the concrete. I love the speed. You are in the hammer. The track has a lot of grip, but you are still sliding around a lot. For me personally at concrete racetracks, I have to be at 110 percent to make speed. Some guys are the complete opposite, where they are at 95 percent of the limit, but I can only make speed there when I’m over the limit of the tire and sliding around. I like racetracks that reward the guy that is in the gas more, and Dover is that to a tee. It is hard to pass, but you can move around and search for the clean track. Concrete racetracks seem to magnify if you can find clean areas, and because I can search around, I enjoy racing there even more.”
Austin Hill and the No. 21 Titan Risk Solutions Chevrolet at Dover Motor Speedway… Austin Hill has made three career NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at Dover Motor Speedway, earning a best finish of fourth in 2023 and completing 100 percent of laps competed (608). The Winston, Georgia native has also driven in six NASCAR Truck Series races (best finish of seventh) and three ARCA Menards Series East events (two wins – 2013, 2014) at the high-banked, Delaware oval.

AUSTIN HILL QUOTE:
Dover Motor Speedway is known as the Monster Mile. What makes it unique?
“Dover is a really fast, concrete track. The way that the rubber lays down and then gets picked back up is a lot different than other tracks. You almost have a rollercoaster effect on entry in the corner, where you drop off into a hole. The whole car gets light on entry, and for a second, you don’t have front grip. Then it suddenly lands in the corner with a big compression, and you gain a lot of grip. You have to be ready to get back on throttle as soon as that happens. It’s a tough track to get around. If you are a little bit off, you’re really far off compared to the rest of the field. It can come out and bite you. They don’t call it the Monster Mile for nothing. I’ve had some really good success at Dover throughout my career though. I’ve had chances to win there and been oh so close many times in the Xfinity Series, so maybe this year will be our year.”

A pair of first-day INDY NXT by Firestone practices at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna left series leader Dennis Hauger with a damaged car and Caio Collet with a fast car.
SEE: Practice 1 | Practice 2
Driving the No. 76 HMD Motorsports entry, Collet posted the quickest overall lap, a time of 1 minute, 14.0546 of a second that bested Andretti Global’s Lochie Hughes (1:14.3332 in the No. 26 McGinley Clinic/USF Pro Championship car) and HMD Motorsports’ Josh Pierson (1:14.6193 in the No. 14 HMD Motorsports entry). Hauger had the best lap in the first session – 1:14.7484 – but his opportunity to improve in the second practice was lost when he hit the tire barrier in Turn 6.
Hauger finished with the 16th-best lap overall in Andretti Global’s No. 28 Nammo car, a position he won’t want to be in when qualifying is held Saturday at 1 p.m. ET on FS1. That session will set the starting lineups for each of the two races held this weekend. The past 10 pole winners of the Grand Prix of Monterey have gone on to win the race.
Hauger, who leads the series with five wins and six poles, holds a 76-point lead over Hughes (two wins, two poles) with five races remaining. Collet, a one-race winner this season, stands 94 points out of the series lead.
Nineteen car-and-driver combinations participated after Andretti Cape INDY NXT and driver Ricardo Escotto parted ways.
The weekend’s first race is Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET on FS2. Race 2 will be at 1 p.m. ET Sunday on FS1.

Peach State safety Nascar McCoy commits to Ole Miss: ‘It is the right fit for me’

Nascar McCoy visited Ole Miss on his birthday (March 22) and that visit made an impact on his recruitment. At the time, schools like Auburn, Georgia, Miami and Texas A&M were higher on his list, but when he saw practice, spent time with the coaches and got another feel for Oxford, the Rebels moved up his list.
The three-star safety out of Buford (Ga.) then took an official visit to Ole Miss in June and he has committed to the Rebels over the Bulldogs and the Hurricanes.
“Ole Miss really made a later move for me,” McCoy told Rivals. “They have always recruited me and they recruited me hard, so after the official visit, they moved up a lot for me. Oxford is a great place with great people and it is a small town like Buford. It reminds me of home. Oxford is a small town, it is a loving place and it just feels right for me.”
Wes Neighbors, Pete Golding and Lane Kiffin all played a role in this decision.
“Coach Neighbors is a great coach. He knows safeties, he knows SEC football and we have a great relationship. Coach Golding is the mastermind behind the Ole Miss defense. He coached under Nick Saban, he is very smart and I love the scheme. Coach Kiffin and I have a great relationship. We have talked about a lot of things, we play pickleball when I am down there and he is an exciting head coach to play for.”
McCoy is ready to compete in Oxford
Kiffin was the first to find out about McCoy’s decision. The No. 39 safety in the country told the Ole Miss head coach of his decision on the official visit. McCoy is excited about his future on the Grove.
“Ole Miss is a lot like Buford,” McCoy said. “They are very competitive with each other. They compete every day and make each other better. The players at Ole Miss compete with the 10 guys you go on the field with and I love that.
“I am a workhorse and I want to come in and help the team win. I am determined, I love to work and I can’t wait to get to work in their system. At Ole Miss, I can come in and be a guy for them. It is the right fit for me with their development, their system and how it will show my talent.”

“It doesn’t sit well with me”: Why Kyle Larson wants to run the Indy 500 again

Kyle Larson enters the Brickyard 400 as the defending winner of the event. However, it is also his first time racing at the historic oval since competing in the Indianapolis 500 this past May.
Larson was attempting to complete the rare ‘Double’ after a failed attempt in 2024. And while he did take part in both races this time, he came several hundred miles short of running all the laps due to wrecking out of both races.

As he returns to IMS, Larson told NASCAR on TNT that the experience “hasn’t changed how I view this place. I always viewed it as being an amazing facility with an amazing history and all that.”
Reflecting further on the attempt, Larson admitted: “I obviously wish it would have gone better. I just made a lot of mistakes this May and crashed a few times, and just put myself in bad positions. I’ll always be grateful for the chance to get to do the Double. (I) wish it would have gone better, but still, a lot of fun and a lot of stress throughout those couple of weeks. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
Will he ever run the Indy 500 again?

As Larson has previously said, he has no desire to attempt the ‘Double’ again in the immediate future, citing logistical challenges. However, he still wants to run the Indy 500 again, but a third attempt at the iconic race will likely have to wait until the end of his NASCAR career.

“It doesn’t sit well with me that I made two mistakes in both of the years I’ve done it and didn’t get the finishes I wanted,” said Larson. “But even if I don’t get to run the Indy 500 again, I’m grateful to have gotten to do it … We’ll see what the future holds.”

Larson also hasn’t won a Cup race since attempting to run the Indy 500 and the Coke 600 during Memorial Day Weekend, but he doesn’t necessarily feel the two are connected.

“We’ve been off since the Double attempt this year, but I just think that’s circumstantial,” explained Larson. He also believes that running the Indy 500 doesn’t take anything away from the Cup program, as he is constantly running other races all around the country.
“I don’t think it takes anything away. I race all the time, so I don’t spend a whole lot of time prepping for NASCAR races in general.”

Taylor Swift Supports Travis Kelce in Happy Gilmore 2 With Cheeky Nod to His Shirtless Honey Scene
Taylor Swift‘s love for Travis Kelce is sweet like honey.
The “August” singer—who has been dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end since late summer 2023—celebrated Travis’ cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 with a rare return to social media on July 25.
Sharing a poster of the golf comedy, Taylor wrote on her Instagram Story, “Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie! An absolute must watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible.”
She also added a honey emoji in reference to a funny scene in which Bad Bunny rubs the gooey treat on Travis’ shirtless body.
As for the NFL star’s acting skills? Writer and star Adam Sandler said he had an enchanting experience with Travis on set.
“Travis just came from a football game,” the actor told E! News earlier this month. “I think he had a game on Sunday, and he was on our set on Monday and showed up with bruises on his back and he just was pulling up, gave us a couple days of greatness and then back to life.”
