It’s hard to picture a more American moment: a watermelon farmer from Florida driving a Chevy at 200 miles an hour with the name of a fallen soldier painted across the windshield. But that’s exactly what happened this Memorial Day weekend, as Ross Chastain’s No. 1 Jockey-sponsored Chevrolet thundered into Charlotte Motor Speedway, carrying not just horsepower—but legacy. And then came the twist no one saw coming. Chastain didn’t just race. He won.

The much-hyped “double” was no longer in play, but there were still 600 miles to run in Charlotte. A full workday behind the wheel. Focus forward. Try to salvage something.

For a while Sunday, NASCAR’s longest race looked like a one-man show starring William Byron. The kind of show where you could nod off for a few hundred miles and wake up to find nothing had changed.

That means Kyle Busch, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion with 63 career wins, is staying put at Richard Childress Racing.

The clock didn’t just strike Heim Time Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway—it roared like a freight train through Concord, and it was about time. After three straight races of leading the most laps only to leave empty-handed, Corey Heim didn’t just finish the job—he dropped the hammer. Heim swept both stages, reclaimed the lead with 17 laps to go after green-flag pit stops, and crossed the line over six seconds ahead of the field. That’s not just a win—that’s a statement.
