NASCAR

Yup, it's podcast day! Spend some time during the long weekend with us!

NASCAR is going to Mexico.

NASCAR's decision to take the Cup Series to Mexico in 2025 marks an important step for the sport, one that feels both inevitable and overdue.

Hello there! It's podcast time!

This week we talk with Colum Wood, VP of content at VerticalScope, our parent company, about a study run by sibling site AutoGuide. This study shows about 10 percent of EV owners have been left stranded -- but not for the reasons you probably think.

We'll give you a preview of this week's podcast -- we're going to talk a lot about what Austin Dillon did at Richmond last night.

It's Friday, so it must be podcast time!

This week on the TTAC podcast we talk with Jessica Caldwell, head of insights at Edmunds.com, about why Teslas are being traded in for gas cars -- and hybrids.

Hey all, it's podcast time again!

This week we chat with Robby DeGraff from AutoPacific about why younger buyers are more open to buying Chinese cars, despite potential privacy concerns.

I spent a few minutes pre-race on Sunday talking to NASCAR fans about the second edition of the Chicago Street Race. I asked if they were enjoying themselves, if the race was better than the first edition, and what, if anything, NASCAR could change.

While snagging some lunch in downtown Chicago Friday afternoon, I spied rising NASCAR star and last year's winner of the inaugural Chicago Street Race Shane van Gisbergen walking down Michigan Avenue. Only one or two fans stopped him for autographs -- he was, despite being one of the best racecar drivers in the entire world, walking down a busy street in America's third-largest city in the middle of the day and going almost unrecognized.

NASCAR has had a rain problem recently.

CHICAGO – As part of the festivities during 2024 NASCAR Chicago Street Race event in Chicago this past weekend, NASCAR unveiled a prototype EV.

CHICAGO – Lightning might not strike twice, but rain certainly does.

CHICAGO – NASCAR is back in Chicago. And we’re back at the track.

Um, excuse me, that’s course. As in street course. While we will use the word “track” to describe it, it is definitely not a dedicated racetrack.
