Joey Logano’s celebration of his third NASCAR Cup championship at the White House was downplayed by an unusual backdrop: President Donald Trump’s tariff pronouncement that occurred earlier in the day. Logano and his Team Penske crew visited the White House to be honored by Trump for winning last season’s Cup championship. It was the second time Logano and his team were honored.

Kyle Larson does it. Christopher Bell does it. Chase Briscoe and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. still do it. Tyler Reddick used to do it (and wants to do it again, that is, if he can do so without his wife finding out). And soon, Team Penske driver and 2023 NASCAR Cup champion Ryan Blaney is thinking about doing it, as well. “It” is racing a sprint car on dirt.

Pocono Raceway, site of this Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race, isn’t called the Tricky Triangle for nothing. No other track on the Cup circuit has such a challenging layout — road/street courses not included. Pocono has three turns that are all diametrically different from the other turns. When Pocono opened in 1971, the 2.5-mile track was designed to provide a unique layout that was part superspeedway and part road course.

Jeff Gordon has spent more than half his life in NASCAR — 34 of his soon to be 54 years. First he was a driver, then became a broadcaster, then was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and since 2021 has served as vice-chair of Hendrick Motorsports, essentially the No. 2 man behind team owner Rick Hendrick (and Hendrick’s hand-picked eventual successor).

Since last weekend’s NASCAR Cup race in Mexico City, it seems everyone has an opinion on what NASCAR does for an encore. Does the sanctioning body return to Mexico next year? What about other venues and countries? NASCAR analyst and former driver Kyle Petty recently joined host George Howson on Motorsport Reports. Petty agreed with many of his peers that the sport should consider a return encore in Mexico and look north of the border to Canada as well.

With 30 laps left in #Indy500, I’m really liking @malukasdavid to win
But if I have to pick someone for the #Indy500 I like @AlexanderRossi
For the first time, I just can’t make a pick for today’s winner of the #Indy500 . But I am convinced it will be a big surprise, perhaps one of the least mentioned names all month.
