Martin Truex Jr. held off Joey Logano and Clint Bowyer Saturday night to finally break through for his first short-track win in the Cup Series.

Brad Keselowski cruised to his second victory of the Cup Series season in taking the checkered in the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

Joey Logano felt like the favorite to win the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship, even if nothing on paper backed that up.

After their last race, and despite an “awful” 2018, Jimmie Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus reflected on their championship-filled time together.

Brad Keselowski, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson and Alex Bowman eliminated from playoffs as Chase Elliott takes the checkered flag at Kansas Speedway.

Michigan and Michigan State football players exchanged words on the field at Spartan Stadium before kickoff Saturday.

Kyle Larson and Alex Bowman need a win to avoid elimination and Kansas Speedway could be the ideal track to pull it off.
