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

#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

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

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.

Post-Race Technical inspection is complete. Riley Herbst has been DISQUALIFIED after failing post-race weights. With 4 DQs this season, it is the MOST disqualifications in a single NASCAR Cup Series season since 1960. #NASCAR | #BofAROVAL | #NASCARPlayoffs | Jeff Gluck

Shane van Gisbergen's win at the Charlotte ROVAL marked the 80th time that a driver ineligible/eliminated from the #NASCARPlayoffs won a Playoff race. It's the 18th time in the #NASCAR Cup Series since eliminations started (2014-present) & 36th time when including The Chase era.

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

"Will we ever see another driver get to 60 wins?" was a question posed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the Dale Jr. Download. "I think Kyle Larson (32 wins) could do it, maybe Joey (Logano, 37 wins)." NASCAR fans, who do you think could reach 60 #NASCAR Cup Series wins in the future?
