Williams Bids Emotional Farewell To Franco Colapinto As Driver Secures Alpine F1 Role

During his stint with Williams, Colapinto impressed many by scoring points at the Baku race, where he finished eighth, and once again at the US Grand Prix.Williams team principal James Vowles, who has been pushing for the Argentine driver to secure a role in 2025, commented:Colapinto first made headlines when he debuted with Williams at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix, becoming the first Argentine to compete in Formula 1 in 23 years. “We are proud to have returned Argentina to the F1 grid, want to thank Franco for everything he has brought to the team and look forward to future battles on track.”

We’re not crying, you are 💙”They made my dreams come true and I will always be grateful for that. I’d like to thank the mechanics and all the team members who made a massive effort to put the car on track and give me the opportunity to score points. “Over nine memorable races with Williams he clearly showed he is deserving of a place in Formula 1 and we always said we would support him to get one.Colapinto brings with him valuable backing from Argentina and Latin America, which played a part in the negotiations between Williams and Alpine. Additionally, Colapinto’s potential role as a mid-season replacement for Jack Doohan at Alpine opens up exciting possibilities for his future in the sport, keeping him in contention for a full-time seat in the coming seasons.21-year-old Argentine driver Franco Colapinto bids an emotional farewell to Williams Racing to join Alpine as their Test and Reserve Driver for the 2025 season. “The Williams Racing Driver Academy exists to discover and develop the F1 stars of the future which is exactly what it has done in Franco’s case, and builds on our long tradition of giving talented young drivers their break at the top level of motorsport. “Williams has one of the most formidable driver line-ups on the grid for 2025 and beyond in Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz, so we believe this agreement with Alpine represents Franco’s best chance of securing a race seat in 2025 or 2026. “We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Alpine for Franco to join the team on a multi-year arrangement starting in 2025.Before reaching F1, he had a strong junior career, achieving victories across various single-seater competitions and ranking sixth in the 2024 F2 feeder championship, which also included a win and several podium finishes.One of our own.​”And to the fans, who have been so supportive, you have been there for us in the good times and bad; you are the best.”Franco shared his thanks to the Williams team for their ongoing support, stating:

Drivers say N. Wilkesboro Speedway deserves Cup points race

For his first act as a NASCAR All-Star Race champion, Christopher Bell chose to praise the revitalized 78-year-old racetrack that delivered a memorable night of racing. “Let’s go!” Bell shouted to roaring approval from a capacity crowd of 25,000 as he made the case Sunday night during his frontstretch celebration that North Wilkesboro Speedway was due […]

For his first act as a NASCAR All-Star Race champion, Christopher Bell chose to praise the revitalized 78-year-old racetrack that delivered a memorable night of racing.

“Let’s go!” Bell shouted to roaring approval from a capacity crowd of 25,000 as he made the case Sunday night during his frontstretch celebration that North Wilkesboro Speedway was due a Cup Series points race.

What You Need To Know

  • NASCAR All-Star Race champion Christopher Bell called the North Wilkesboro Speedway “the best short track in NASCAR”

  • He said the speedway should get a Cup Series points race

  • The North Wilkesboro Speedway just finished hosting its third All-Star Race

  • Just a few years ago, the track was an overgrown hulk. But a $20 million renovation brought racing back to the North Carolina foothills


“The best short track in NASCAR,” Bell said. “It is absolutely incredible. It’s just going to get better and better. Man, that was an amazing race.”

In its third edition as host of the $1 million exhibition event, the speedway produced All-Star Race records for lead changes (18) and green-flag passes for the lead (59) as its remarkable rebirth continued from a dilapidated and rotting hulk just three years ago.

Speedway Motorsports announced that grandstand seating and premium hospitality were sold out for the 41st All-Star Race, which drew fans from 43 states and nine countries to North Wilkesboro, which is 80 miles north of Charlotte. SMI president and CEO Marcus Smith proclaimed that “like Lambeau Field to football and Fenway Park to baseball, North Wilkesboro Speedway has become America’s throwback racetrack.”

Bell was among several drivers who say the short track deserves its first Cup Series points race in 30 years when NASCAR releases its 2026 schedule, which is expected in a few months.

“I don’t see why not,” seven-time most popular driver winner Chase Elliott said about the possibility after finishing fifth. “I think it’s plenty capable of hosting, and obviously, the crowd seems extremely receptive to the idea, too. Whatever NASCAR decides on that, I’m good with. It put on a good race for sure, so it’s hard to argue against that.”

Aside from a smattering of minor-league races in 2010-11, North Wilkesboro Speedway had sat dormant since Jeff Gordon won its most recent Cup race on Sept. 29, 1996. A $20 million renovation (spurred by federal funding from the American Rescue Plan) began in 2022 and led to being awarded the 2023 All-Star Race.

Its first two All-Star Races were lackluster, but North Wilkesboro’s racing came to life Sunday. The 0.625-mile oval’s surface has widened into multiple lanes since a repaving last year, and Sunday’s race featured 1,426 green-flag passes that electrified the jammed grandstands.

“Man, they show up,” Bell said. “We go out for driver intros, and the place was packed. It’s just bumping. We need more events like this.”

Joe Gibbs, whose team scored its third All-Star Race victory with Bell joining previous winners Kyle Busch in 2015 and Denny Hamlin in 2017, credited Smith and support from the community for putting the track in line for points race consideration.

“I won’t be making that decision,” Gibbs said. “But I think the way this race turned out and the crowd and everything, that’ll have a lot to do with it.”

Budding rivalry

Already sour about a “Promoter’s Caution” that erased his late lead and left him vulnerable on older tires, runner-up Joey Logano took issue with Bell’s winning pass in the No. 20 Toyota. After the drivers made contact that squeezed his No. 22 Ford into the outside wall with nine laps remaining, Logano vowed retaliation if he’d been able to catch Bell.

“I did all I could do to hold him off, and he got under me and released the brake and gave me no option,” said Logano, who led a race-high 139 of 250 laps. “If I could’ve got to him, he was going around after a move like that. I just couldn’t get back to him. Just frustrated after you lead so many laps, and the car is so fast, and you don’t win. It hurts quite a bit.”

Bell was bemused by Logano’s frustration.

“I had got to him a couple times before, and he made it very difficult on me, as he should,” Bell said. “I got my run, and I took the moment, as I should. I don’t think that I did anything that Joey has not done, and I’ve seen Joey do much worse. We will continue on.”

Kyle Larson, Joey Logano do it again at All-Star Race

Everyone’s an expert on something, in case you haven’t noticed.

Everyone’s an expert on something, in case you haven’t noticed.

At various times, everyone’s a doctor, a lawyer, a city planner or, unfortunately, an editor. 

Around 10 o’clock Sunday evening, everyone became a schedule maker. 

North Wilkesboro should be on the regular-season schedule became the near-universal rallying cry from NASCAR fans who fell back in love with what short-track racing is supposed to deliver. 

FAST-TRACKING At 20, Jesse Love has arrived in a hurry and has more places to go

On occasion, knee-jerk reactions enjoy long shelf-life. Other times, not so much. And since no one at HQ is going to rip apart the budding 2026 scheduling plans, this particular knee-jerking needs some time for digestion, for a couple of reasons.

What the hell, make it three.

1. Yes, the weekend of racing was first-rate at North Wilkesboro, particularly during Sunday night’s main event, when door-to-door battles were more norm than exception. But guess what. Asphalt ages. Tire formulas are tweaked. Today’s great track for racin’ isn’t necessarily gonna be tomorrow’s. 

2. Ever try mapping out a schedule with 38 moving parts and dozens upon dozens of constituencies to please? If Chicago’s street race is disappearing after this year, some say, just plug North Wilkesboro into that slot. And ignore the possibility (or maybe probability, for all we know) of a near-future street-or-road race in Montreal or San Diego? Marketing is important, you know.

3. What’s wrong with just keeping the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro until further notice? It’s one of the marquee events on the yearly schedule, so doesn’t it deserve a quality racetrack?

As for an answer to the third point: Yes, it does. But, you may ask, what happens if North Wilkesboro isn’t producing quality short-track racing in a year or two, as suggested in the first point?

Beats me, so let’s change the subject(s) and go through the gears …

First Gear: Joey Logano with silly talk, Michael Waltrip with butter fingers

The last, and most consequential, of the side-by-side battles came in the last few minutes of the All-Star Race when Christopher Bell bullied his way past Joey Logano for first place and the eventual win, which came with a million-dollar payday for the No. 20 team. 

“Bullied” in an acceptable rubbin’-is-racin’ kind of way. Bell had fresher right-side rubber (racing term!) than Joey and took advantage of it. Or took too much advantage of it, to hear Joey tell it. Joey explained his new strategy for Bell in the coming weeks.

“I just race him the same way. That’s all it is,” he said. “We’re racing for a million dollars. I get it. But we race each other every week, and we’re like elephants, we don’t forget anything.”

Speaking for everyone, well, I say we let Christopher Bell speak for everyone …

“Joey was frustrated? He was frustrated? That is interesting,” Bell said at his winner’s interview. “I genuinely would not have guessed that.

“I had got to him a couple times before, and he made it very difficult on me, as he should. And I got my run and I took the moment, as I should. I don’t think that I did anything that Joey has not done, and I’ve seen Joey do much worse. So we will continue on.”

Joey was also disappointed in that gimmick of a late “promoter’s caution,” but once that possibility hit the race’s rules sheet, you knew that yellow was gonna fly. Making a big show of it, with Mikey Waltrip hamming it up on the flag stand (and eventually DROPPING the flag onto the track), is another story entirely. 

Second Gear: Kyle Larson 21st at North Wilkesboro (and Indianapolis)

We’ve spent a lot of time here discussing Kyle Larson’s inability to follow a win with another quality performance, but we wondered if the All-Star Race might be an exception.

In the end, it wasn’t. Kyle rallied from the rear of the field and was within striking distance when he slid up into the wall and finished 21st in a 23-car field. Coincidentally, 21st is where he’ll start the Indianapolis 500 this coming Sunday.

Weather permitting.

And right now, the weather is trending toward permissible. From about two weeks out until now, the long-range Indy forecast has shown partly cloudy skies, temps around 70(!) and no more than 20-to-25 percent chance of race-day showers. 

After last year’s rain delay, Kyle should get the opportunity to just worry about the challenge of 200 Brickyard laps — assuming he stays on the lead lap, which in reality should constitute a victory for the moonlighting star. 

Third Gear: RFK still trying to Make Kez Racy Again

He finished 22nd in a field of 23, so you’re led to believe the beat goes on for Poor Ol’ Brad Keselowski. In recent weeks, however, you may have noticed how Kez’s weekly bout with bad luck was preceded by a real uptick in performance.

Well, that uptick took a definite upturn at North Wilkesboro, where he won the pole and then dominated his heat race, leading 74 of 75 laps. Or, as the team’s press release put it: “With smart defensive driving, he effectively blocked both lanes and never relinquished control.”

He then led 61 of the first 63 All-Star laps, but he began losing tire grip and track position. While battling back toward the front, he clapped against the wall and broke his right-front shock. Progress, though.

 “We’re connecting things, for sure,” Kez said. “We just haven’t connected everything, and when we do that, we’ll be dangerous.”

It seems he’s talking both figuratively and literally.

Fourth Gear: Uh-oh, it’s Prime time for NASCAR

For a year and a half now — since November, 2023 — we’ve been eyeballing this coming weekend. Some of us, or maybe many of us, have been wondering how we’ll break it to Aunt Mae and Uncle Ed that they won’t be watching the NASCAR races for over a month of Sundays.

We said it then and we can still say it now, 18 months later: “Oh, man, this ain’t gonna be good.”

This is it. This is the week Amazon takes over broadcasting the Cup Series on its Prime Video service, which you ain’t getting on basic cable. We’re talking $14.99 a month or $139 annually (do your own math, but yes, it saves you some money). 

After five weeks, the Cup schedule shifts to TNT and will include the same Prime broadcast team, which includes Junior Earnhardt, so there’s that. Every now and then, NASCAR does something that doesn’t sit well with the longtime fans, and on a few occasions, there have been seismic disruptions — this is probably one of those.

And I know what you’re thinking: “It’s almost as if they’re trying to force me to pay for something I didn’t have to pay for before.” Well, if it makes you feel better, you’re right — you’ve figured them out. Amazon is trying to do that, and paying NASCAR big money to serve as one of their lures.

On the bright side, maybe you already pay for Amazon Prime, which you convinced yourself you needed — for the free shipping and, Lord knows, you don’t want to wait an extra couple days for those new pajamas. If you have Amazon Prime, you also get Prime Video as part of the package. 

You just have to take the time to find it.

Notable

With top-five finishes by Ross Chastain, Alex Bowman and Chase Elliott, Chevrolet beat Ford and Toyota to win the All-Star Race’s first “Manufacturer’s Showdown” that was based on the combined results for each automaker. … Jon Edwards, the former PR rep for Kyle Larson who died last month, was honored with “The Byrnsie Award” that is voted on by Fox’s NASCAR broadcast team in tribute to late broadcaster Steve Byrnes. Fox has presented the award since 2016 to celebrate those who embody Byrnes’ principles of preparation, teamwork and family.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — A day after finishing second in the All-Star Race and being critical of how Christopher Bell raced him for the win, Joey Logano told NBC Sports that how Bell drove him “wasn’t as bad as I thought it was.”

Bell and Logano dueled much of the final 20 laps Sunday night at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Logano blocked Bell and tried to take his lane away while Bell worked to get by. Bell made a second attempt and eventually moved Logano up the track and took the lead with 10 laps to go. Bell went on to win his first All-Star Race.

After the race, Logano expressed his displeasure with Bell’s move.

“I did all I could do to hold him off and he got under me and released the brake and gave me no option,” Logano told FS1. “Kind of just ran me up into the wall, and if I could’ve got to him, he was going around after a move like that, I just couldn’t get back to him.”

NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race

Christopher Bell has won five points races and the All-Star Race since last year’s Coca-Cola 600.

Monday, before a ceremony by the mayor of Mooresville and Town Board honoring the teams of Logano and Ryan Blaney for winning the last three Cup titles, Logano admitted he had a different take on how Bell raced him in those final laps.

“When I went back and re-watched it, I was like, that wasn’t as bad as I thought it was,” Logano told NBC Sports. “If he did that (move Logano up the track) the first time he got to me, I’d be like, ‘Dude, why would you do that?’

“But he made solid attempts to pass me. I ran him all up and down the racetrack. So I opened the door. Like at that point, I opened the door (to more aggressive racing). I had to do that to try to maintain the lead.

“But it also to me, it was like, OK, well, if you’re willing to do that, you should be able to move that person up the racetrack. Then I should have been able to get back at him.

“I set the tone that we’re going to race like assholes. It’s OK that he did that to me. But in the moment you’re just pissed, right? You’re just like, ‘He ran me up the track.’ Then when I watched it, I was like, ‘Nah, it’s probably warranted.’

“So, I shouldn’t have said that (after the race). You’re mad. It is what it is. He knocked me up and then moved me up. Would I have done the same? Probably. Especially after someone ran me all over the racetrack like I did, I probably would have done the same.

“I’m a really bad loser. I’m a sore loser. I can’t help it. It is who I am, but I think that’s also what makes us winners.”
