250 Laps, Pit Road Olympics, and a Corporate Turf War: The All-Star Race Goes Full Send at North Wilkesboro

2 days ago | cupscene.com | Greg Engle

In the latest proof that NASCAR officials will never pass up a chance to tweak, poke, or outright rewire their most chaotic exhibition event, the 2025 All-Star Race is going full tilt with a longer main event, a new “promoter’s caution” that sounds suspiciously like a TV time-out, and a corporate ego showdown that pits Chevy, Ford, and Toyota in a Battle of the Brands — because nothing says Saturday night short track madness like a boardroom fistfight on wheels.

In what initially appeared to be a heartwarming comeback straight out of a fanfiction forum and a Monster Energy fever dream, NASCAR fans were left stunned and slightly betrayed after learning that Kasey Kahne—one of the sport’s 75 Greatest Drivers—had not, in fact, made a triumphant return to the track last weekend. The No. 33 car at Rockingham Speedway was instead piloted by an AI-generated Kahne avatar powered by NVIDIA, expired AMP Energy and late-2000s YouTube highlight reels.

Ryan Blaney, 2023 Cup Series champ, beloved meme king, and fully grown man who collects action figures unironically, showed up to the track this week in something no one saw coming: a hat. Not a sponsor hat. Not a vintage throwback cap. No, this was a weird hat — wide-brimmed, tan, and hauntingly neutral. To the untrained eye, it may have looked like an REI purchase made by a man having a quarter-life crisis in an Airstream.

It started like any other race weekend. Haulers rolled in, crews prepped tires, and somewhere, Denny Hamlin was explaining aerodynamics to a sandwich. But the garage was rocked to its core when an unnamed spotter allegedly witnessed Ty Gibbs, heir to the Joe Gibbs Racing empire and professional disruptor, sitting quietly… reading a book.

Xfinity Quits, NASCAR Panics, and Somewhere a Waffle House Marketing Guy Just Got Promoted

So, it’s official. The Xfinity Series, NASCAR’s second-tier stock car slugfest—where teenagers, part-timers, and Cup drivers on ego trips collide like beer cans at a Talladega tailgate—is about to become an orphan. Xfinity, the internet company best known for not working when the race does, is pulling the plug.
