Chase Elliott's Texas Triumph Sets Stage for Record-Breaking Victory

Chase Elliott's recent win at Texas Motor Speedway brings him one victory away from tying the modern era record for consecutive wins at different tracks, currently held by Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson. Elliott's streak of 13 wins at different tracks is just one short of the record. The Cup Series heads to Talladega Superspeedway and Dover, where Elliott has already won during his streak, giving him a chance to tie the record at Kansas Speedway on May 5.

"Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Future Shift: From NBC to Amazon Prime and TNT"

In the latest NASCAR Mailbag, it's unlikely that Kentucky Speedway will see a return to the Cup Series, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will join Amazon Prime Video and Warner Bros. Discovery Sports as lead analyst in 2024, Front Row Motorsports has been elevated to Ford's "Tier 1 program," Texas Motor Speedway may face configuration changes, and it's too early to write off any driver's championship hopes after just two races. NASCAR is also considering races in Mexico and Canada for 2025, potentially leading to a shift in the Cup calendar, while the guy who cleans Denny Hamlin's car probably doesn't get paid enough for the job.
