A legal war, a media power shift, and a schedule shakeup all hit the NASCAR world at once. From charters in courtrooms to Chicagoland’s resurrection and IndyCar’s rising spotlight, this week’s news has massive implications across the entire motorsports landscape.
- What did Legacy Motor Club win in court that could block Rick Ware’s $150 million sale?
- Why is FOX going all-in on IndyCar—and could NASCAR end up paying the price?
- The Chicago Street Course is gone… but not NASCAR. What oval is rising in its place?
- One driver is out midseason, another starting a team from scratch, and a third recovering from trauma overseas.
And that’s just the surface. NASCAR might still rule the ratings, but FOX’s IndyCar buy-in could reshape how fans—and networks—prioritize motorsports in the next five years. With Chicago shifting back to a traditional oval, San Diego stepping in as the next street race, and Rockingham rumors swirling, it’s clear: the 2026 schedule won’t look anything like 2025. Plus, updates on Stewart Friesen’s condition, the Corvette vs. Mustang showdown in Germany, and the surprising exit of Josh Williams from Kaulig Racing—are we looking at a deeper reset in the Xfinity garage?
