Brad Keselowski is cleared for Daytona, Cleetus McFarland gets the green light for his Truck Series debut, and Kyle Busch quietly adds fuel to the 2026 rumor mill. It’s a packed Out of the Groove episode. Before diving in, quick shoutout to Wander Club. Their NASCAR Track Token Collection is a clean, durable way to commemorate the tracks you’ve been to, Daytona included, with portable metal tokens designed for bags or keyrings. Check them out at TheWanderClub.com.
- What does Keselowski’s medical clearance mean for RFK’s Daytona 500 chances and the superspeedway balance of power?
- Can Cleetus McFarland race his way into a stacked Truck Series field without provisional protection?
- How much do OEM provisionals change the Truck Series Daytona equation this year?
- Is Kyle Busch’s expanded Truck schedule just extra seat time, or a breadcrumb toward a major 2026 Cup move?
Between Keselowski chasing the one trophy missing from his resume, Cleetus trying to survive a brutally deep qualifying field, and Busch popping up in a Hendrick-sponsored Spire truck during a contract year, there’s a lot more going on here than meets the eye. Speedweeks chaos is already in full swing, and these storylines could ripple well beyond Daytona.
