Seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton said when asked about NASCAR, "I would love to try it," as first reported by Jenna Fryer.

What’s Happening

Lewis Hamilton piqued the interest of NASCAR fans on Thursday afternoon with an interesting admission in Miami. He is interested in NASCAR, according to Jenna Fryer. Hamilton was in Miami area as Formula One prepares for the second Miami Grand Prix this Sunday.

  • Hamilton is a seven-time Formula One World Champion with 103 career wins. His seven championships are tied with Michael Schumacher for the most all-time, and his 103 wins are the most all-time.
  • This comes amidst preparation for the first of three US races for Formula One this season, with the others being Circuit of the Americas in October and Las Vegas in November. Five F1 World Champions have raced in NASCAR, Jim Clark, Mario Andretti, Jacques Villenueve, Kimi Raikkonen, and Jenson Button.
  • Fans on social media mainly thought of one person Hamilton could go to for his NASCAR ride. That person was Justin Marks with Trackhouse Racing.

Around the Garage

Dale Earnhardt Jr. approves.

Parker Kligerman says YES.

In the Stands

He sure did Sam, and it was awesome.

Project 99 is getting some love.

Justin Marks again being mentioned.

NW147 is also looking towards Project 91.

Eric’s eyes are WIDE open.

From the Pressbox

May we get a Brad Pitt Days of Thunder remake too?

Nothing like a full TV channel giving a comment on a story like this.

Could Lewis Hamilton become the next Project 91 entry or just the next driver in F1 in general? We shall see, but with F1 growing in the United States, this seems more feasible than in previous years.

Lionel Racing Reveals First Wave of 2026 NASCAR Authentics Diecast

by Kauy Ostlien

What’s Happening?

Lionel Racing finally confirmed the first wave of 2026 NASCAR Authentics 1:64 scale diecast for Monday morning, with the line of retail-exclusive diecast featuring a new look for the new year.

  • This line will include six throwback paint schemes from NASCAR’s 2025 throwback weekend at Darlington Raceway. Though they did not release one in 2025, this move restarts an annual tradition of Lionel releasing at least one wave of cars carrying the colors of that prior season’s throwback designs.
  • Included in this wave of cars are Austin Cindric, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, William Byron, and Sammy Smith. Alongside these paint schemes’ debuts in the Authentics line is a new design for the packaging of the 2026 line of NASCAR Authentics.
  • Last season was somewhat turbulent for Lionel as, alongside issues with tariffs, the brand only released three waves of NASCAR Autentics, one wave of NASCAR Autentics Winners Circle diecast, and two waves of Haulers.
  • Lionel announcing the first wave of 2026 early on in the new year is perhaps a sign that 2026 could return this line to its regular release schedule. The post from Lionel Racing also confirmed that the brand will announce another wave by the end of the week, further hinting at a recommitment to the Authentics line.

Chase Pistone, NASCAR Trucks and Nationwide Series Driver, Passes Away

by Kauy Ostlien

What’s Happening?

Chase Pistone, a former competitor on the short track racing circuit in addition to NASCAR’s National Series, has passed away. Pistone, now a successful Legends Car owner, was 42.

  • Chase’s brothers Nick and Tom Pistone confirmed the North Carolina natives’ passing to LegendsNation.com. The cause of Pistone’s passing is unknown. The family asked that media share the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number, which is 988.
  • Pistone, the grandson of NASCAR legend “Tiger” Tom Pistone, made his way to NASCAR after competing on short tracks in Legends cars and Late Models. He would make his jump to NASCAR via the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2005, racing for Green Light Racing at Martinsville Speedway.
  • Pistone would continue his NASCAR pursuits in 2006, racing in ARCA and the NASCAR Busch Series. Unfortunately, these two starts, at Martinsville with the Busch Series and Iowa with ARCA, would be his last for nearly a decade.
  • Pistone returned to NASCAR in 2014, racing in a combined eight NASCAR Camping World Truck and Nationwide Series races. During this season, his final in NASCAR, the then 30-year-old scored his best National Series finish, ninth place in the Truck Series annual trip to Gateway.

8 Takeaways From NASCAR At COTA

by Bryan Aguiar

Three races in, the 2026 season is finally starting to show its hand. COTA shifted narratives, exposed weaknesses, and raised new questions about contenders, pretenders, and everything in between.

  • Has Shane van Gisbergen officially been proven mortal after getting outraced late at Circuit of the Americas?
  • Is 19-year-old Connor Zilisch already ahead of schedule after slicing through the field multiple times?
  • With three straight wins, is Tyler Reddick basically a lock for the postseason this early?
  • And how concerned should the 48 team be after a rough weekend for Alex Bowman?

From substitute drivers being forced into action to points gaps growing faster than expected, COTA delivered more than just a road course chess match. There were momentum swings, reputation hits, and at least one young driver stacking up enemies before stacking up results.
