Denny Hamlin just won Michigan, but he might skip NASCAR’s first-ever points race in Mexico City. Why? It’s not an injury, it’s not a suspension, it’s something far more personal. With the clock ticking and a baby on the way, Hamlin made it clear: he’s staying home if the timing doesn’t line up.

And what do we make of Chastain, Reddick, and Logano heading into a tricky international road course? It’s a wild time in the NASCAR garage, and it’s only getting more unpredictable.
