There’s no sugar coating what we witnessed in the Food City 500 (April 13). Once again, Bristol Motor Speedway was Kyle Larson‘s world, and we were living in it. The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion led over 400 laps for the second consecutive time in Thunder Valley en route to an absolute shellacking of the field. Nevertheless, there were 38 other drivers on the track just for clarification, and even some underdogs produced a loud bark during the 500-lap event.

One of the most captivating storylines of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season was the ultimate demise of Stewart-Haas Racing, a multi-time championship organization that shuttered its doors after Tony Stewart pulled out of the ownership side of the sport following the season.

One week removed from Super Bowl LIX, NASCAR kicks off its 77th season with its prime event, none other than the illustrious Daytona 500.

“Names are made here.”That slogan has resounded as the foundation of the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the second-highest level of stock car racing in the United States. While the division is one step closer in a driver’s Everest-like climb to the NASCAR Cup Series, it comes with limited opportunities.

The conclusion of each NASCAR Cup Series season may shift the spotlight to the driver holding the Bill France Cup, but it also brings bittersweet endings. This season was the end of a remarkable 21-season career for Martin Truex Jr. Championship-winning organization Stewart-Haas Racing made its final lap before shuttering its doors during the offseason. It also appears that the last chapter has closed on FedEx’s longstanding partnership with Denny Hamlin.

There have been over 2,000 races in NASCAR Cup Series history. More than 200 drivers have earned victories in those races. More than 2,000 total races tell a story. Whether they were monumental, lost to time, crown jewels, one-and-done winners or chaotic, each race contributed to a painting of what NASCAR has become over the course of almost 76 years. But before Oct. 23, 2024, one race stood alone in its meaning.
