With Helio Castroneves now locked into the #DAYTONA500 with the new NASCAR Open Exemption Provisional (should it be needed), the Trackhouse Racing PROJECT91 driver will become the 207th internationally-born driver, & 4th Brazilian driver, to start a #NASCAR National Touring Series race.

As 1st pointed out by Quinn McCullough, it appears that there are at least 2 NASCAR_Xfinity races from 1997, 1 Xfinity Racing race from 1998, & 4 from 1999 might be heading to the NASCAR Classics site. 👀 Going to love diving into those races on @NASCAR Classics. #NASCAR
After the @NASCAR_Xfinity Series race this past weekend, some called for in-race penalties & asking when the last time some were called. Here are the 15 most recent in-race penalties for rough driving/retaliation that I've been able to document. #NASCAR | Motorsports Reference
#NASCAR STAT: As a result of Joey Logano's disqualification at Talladega Superspeedway, the Team Penske driver now holds the record for longest stretch to start a season by a defending champion without a top-5 finish at 10 races. Bill Elliott held the record from 1989 - 2025. Jeff Gluck
Today, Dale Earnhardt Jr. makes his @NASCAR_Xfinity debut as a crew chief for Connor Zilisch. IF Zilisch were to win at Pocono Raceway today, Dale Jr would become the 9th person with wins as a driver, a crew chief, and a team owner. #NASCAR | #ExplorePocono250 | Xfinity Racing
This weekend marks the 21st anniversary of the first NASCAR Cup Series Overtime at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, what drivers do you think have the most wins in OT? More often than not, the driver leading at the scheduled distance wins, ~60% of the time. 🎨: Daniel Céspedes #NASCAR | #Brickyard400
With 4 races left this season, Corey Heim is officially the winningest driver of the 2025 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Trucks Series season with 9 wins. Of the 30 previous Truck seasons, the winningest driver has won the championship 10 times. Will Heim win the title & how many more races? #NASCAR
Connor Zilisch is poised to become the winningest driver this year in @NASCAR_Xfinity. Interestingly, the winningest driver has NOT won the Xfinity Racing title since 2009. Can Zilisch break the trend? #NASCAR | Motorsports Reference
And with that win at Pocono Raceway earlier this season, Dale Earnhardt Jr. became just the 10th person (3rd in Xfinity Racing) to have wins in NASCAR as a driver, a team owner (Chance 2 & JR Motorsports combined in the totals), and as a crew chief. #NASCAR | Motorsports Reference
On SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Ch. 90) with Dave Moody, Kyle Petty mentioned that Lee Petty was penalized points for competing in a rival series to NASCAR in 1956, costing him the title to Buck Baker. That 1 of 7 examples of #NASCAR drivers having their points stripped for racing elsewhere.
At the behest of John Newby here is a NEW chart detailing various embarrassing incidents by NASCAR Drivers / crew members with Riley Herbst's failed attempt at retaliation as the latest addition #NASCAR fans, are there any we missed? #BofAROVAL | #NASCARPlayoffs | Jeff Gluck
Based on currently available data, & what Justin Schuoler & I have compiled so far, the last full season when there were ZERO races postponed to another day or completely rescheduled due to weather across all of NASCAR's 3 National Touring Series was 1994. #NASCAR Jeff Gluck
In addition to now being tied for 10th all-time in NASCAR Cup Series wins with Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin's win marks the 300th combined victory for the No. 11 across the 3 National Touring Series. #NASCAR | #SouthPoint400 | #NASCARPlayoffs | Motorsports Reference | Jeff Gluck
