The field of 12 is set in the NASCAR Cup Series. Despite significant tire challenges for all teams, Christopher Bell took the checkered flag at Bristol. Next is New Hampshire. The stars of the NASCAR Xfinity Series are off until Kansas on September 27. However, the Craftsman Truck Series playoffs continue this weekend in New Hampshire.

After the NHRA Reading Nationals this past weekend, 3-Time NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart has gotten closer to possibly winning the 2025 Top Fuel Division Championship. No, he did not win the Reading Event Championship, but Smoke did gain points and is now just 18-points behind leader Doug Kalitta. But Stewart cannot rest. Two other Top Fuel drivers are close behind, Shawn Langdon and Justin Ashley. The Reading winners: Shawn Reed on Top Fuel,
Cruz Pedregon took Funny Car, John Hall hit the top podium spot in Pro Stock Motorcycle, and Dallas Glenn won Pro Stock. This weekend the teams compete again in Charlotte at the NHRA Carolina Nationals.
