What’s Happening?

Daniel Hemric, the 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion, is set to enter two more races in the NASCAR secondary series this season with Kaulig Racing.

  • Per Kaulig Hemric will once again pilot the team’s No. 11 car at the Charlotte Roval on October 4 and Las Vegas Motor Speedway on October 11. These will be the 34-year-old’s second and third races of the 2025 Xfinity Series season.
  • Veteran Josh Williams began the season full-time in the No. 11 prior to his release following the July 26 race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Since then, the team has relied on drivers like Hemric to drive the No. 11, with the veteran making his return to the Xfinity Series on September 6 at WWT Raceway, starting 17th and finishing 7th.
  • Hemric drove for Kaulig full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series last season, but after losing that ride, Hemric took the step down to full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series action with McAnally–Hilgemann Racing. So far this season, Hemric has one win in MHR’s No. 19, but has run within the top five in points all season long.
  • Though he has floated across the three NASCAR National Series throughout his career, Hemric is most commonly known for his time in the Xfinity Series, where he has raced with multiple teams since 2017. Despite his 2021 championship season with Joe Gibbs Racing, that year’s season finale is Hemric’s only career win in the series.

NASCAR Suspends Multiple Cup Series Crew Members After COTA

by Bryan Aguiar

What’s Happening?

Two NASCAR Cup Series crew members for Ross Chastain’s No. 1 team were suspended following the race at Circuit of the Americas

  • The crew members suspended were rear-tire changer Josh Appleby and jackman Kenneth Pozega.
  • They will be sidelined for two weeks, missing the races at Phoenix Raceway on March 8th and Las Vegas on March 15th.
  • The penalty comes after Ross Chastain had a loose wheel at Circuit of the Americas while running 13th. On lap 75, his wheel detached from the car, bringing out a caution. Right after the incident, Chastain was also held for 2 laps as part of the penalty, as specified in the rulebook.
  • Chastain ended up finishing 35th after winning stage 1 and grabbing the fastest lap of the race. The result dropped him 9 spots on the point standings. He sits 20th with 64 points, 4 behind Ryan Preece, who holds the final Chase spot for now.
  • It’s the first time in the 2026 NASCAR season that crew members have been penalized for a loose wheel outside of pit road.

by Bryan Aguiar

What’s Happening?

On February 17, Ubisoft released a trailer that confirmed that NASCAR would be included in The Crew Motorfest’s next season update. Details were limited at the time, but in a press release issued today, Ubisoft revealed the full details of the update ahead of its March 4 launch.

What NASCAR Content will be Included?

  • 16 officially licensed NASCAR cars will be available at launch on March 4.
  • The 3 Next Gen Cup cars include the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, 2025 Chevrolet ZL1, and 2025 Toyota Camry XSE.
  • A 10-event NASCAR Motorfest Tour Playlist will run from qualifying rounds through finals, with players competing for the NASCAR Motorfest Tour Champion title.
  • NASCAR cars will be drivable across the full open world, not limited to playlist events.
  • NASCAR content launches March 4 as part of Season 9, which includes 31 total new vehicles across the broader season.

What Else is Included in the Update?

  • Season 9 features 31 total vehicle additions. Of those, 16 are NASCAR-related, but most are cosmetic team liveries rather than separate cars. In total, the season introduces 18 new drivable vehicles, with the remainder made up of cosmetic variations.
  • The 2019 Porsche 935 Racing Car arrives on April 1 as part of the Year Pass 3.
  • Trackforge debuts as a new user-generated track creator, offering two build templates: Motorsports and Coaster. It will have publishing and sharing functionality.

  • A new Island Playground, Summit Contest events, and weekly Main Stage activities round out the Season 9 content slate.

What Else has been Revealed?

Mitch Rasmussen, NASCAR’s Senior Director of Interactive, said in the press release:

We’re excited to bring our iconic brand to life in The Crew Motorfest. This collaboration represents another important step in our strategy to bring NASCAR into the digital spaces and places where next generation fans spend their time, giving players new ways to interact with the culture and communities they love.

The content arrives as part of Year 3 Season 9 and is officially licensed by NASCAR. You can watch the first trailer and learn more in the article linked below

Too Many Road Courses In NASCAR? | New Power Rankings Post-COTA!

by Bryan Aguiar

Four road courses on the schedule, and somehow that’s enough to spark one of the biggest debates in the garage. After recent comments from Brad Keselowski questioning the business value of road racing, the conversation has picked up serious steam. Is NASCAR leaning too far into it, or is the current balance about right?

  • Are road courses truly underperforming in ratings and attendance compared to traditional ovals?
  • Does a venue like Circuit of the Americas represent a growth opportunity, or schedule oversaturation?
  • Should NASCAR prioritize sponsor markets over competitive variety?
  • And what does the ideal long-term schedule balance actually look like?

There are valid points on both sides, from sponsorship realities to fan traditions to competitive diversity. Some tracks have gained traction. Others have struggled. The question isn’t just whether road courses belong, but how many make sense within a 36-race season. It’s less about extremes and more about direction. And with future schedule changes always looming, this debate probably isn’t settled anytime soon.
