Denny Hamlin never wanted to drive for a team other than Joe Gibbs Racing. A two-year contract extension may seal the deal.

Denny Hamlin topped Saturday’s abbreviated NASCAR Cup Series practice for the Brickyard 400 – going fastest with a lap of 182.039mph (49.44s). The Joe Gibbs Racing driver jumped to the top of the board in the final few minutes of the session.

This victory marks Elliott's first win since April and his 20th career Cup Series win, securing him a playoff spot. Chase Elliott passed Brad Keselowski on the final lap and held on for a win in the Atlanta NASCAR race, his home race, on June 28.

Connor Zilisch goes for his third consecutive win this season as the NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Pennzoil 250.

Childress was referring to an incident earlier in the year during the Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas when Austin Cindric retaliated by hooking Childress’ grandson Ty Dillon in the right rear after being moved up the track by the No. 10 car. NASCAR docked Cindric 50 points and fined him $50,000 several days later.

Things are taking a strange turn for the NASCAR Cup Series as Kyle Larson and others are complaining about the track surface. Apparently, in Turn 2, the track is starting to come up and break apart.

Joe Gibbs Racing announced on Friday that Denny Hamlin has signed a multi-year contract extension to continue driving the No. 11 Toyota Camry XSE in the NASCAR Cup Series
