After missing last Sunday’s Indianapolis race with COVID-19, Jimmie Johnson has been cleared to return to NASCAR Cup racing at Kentucky.
Two weeks after the Bubba Wallace noose investigation and nearly a month after NASCAR banned the Confederate flag, U.S. president Donald Trump is demanding an apology. The NASCAR world has since stepped up to defend their driver.
Tyre attrition was the name of the game in Sunday’s Brickyard 400, one won by Kevin Harvick after a fiery crash courtesy of a cut tyre eliminated his race rival Denny Hamlin.
Jimmie Johnson has tested positive for COVID-19. He will miss Sunday’s Indianapolis race, which will be the first Cup event since 2001 without the 7-time champ, as Justin Allgaier takes over his car.
The 2020 NASCAR All-Star Race at Bristol will be split into four stages, will introduce a choose cone, and will feature new number placements closer to the rear wheel.
Jimmie Johnson’s open-wheel excursion will continue next week when he joins Chip Ganassi Racing for an IndyCar test on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
In a reversal of Saturday’s late-race battle, Denny Hamlin used pit strategy to beat Kevin Harvick at Pocono for his fourth win of the season.
In the first doubleheader race of the Cup Series’ Pocono weekend, pit strategy was the key of the game as Kevin Harvick held off Denny Hamlin for his maiden win at the Tricky Triangle.

NASCAR has released a photo of the noose found in Bubba Wallace’s garage at Talladega. In a teleconference shortly after, President Steve Phelps broke down the timeline of events during the investigation.
The FBI concluded that the supposed noose found in the garage of Bubba Wallace was a garage pull, and that no hate crime was committed against the driver.
The last 28 hours for NASCAR have seen rain, a horrific gesture, wrecks, fuel strategy, and a dramatic photo finish between Ryan Blaney and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. as the latter won Talladega by just .007 seconds.
After a noose was discovered in Bubba Wallace’s garage, the NASCAR world came together to show support. Drivers and crews pushed Wallace’s car to the grid before the race, while president Steve Phelps took great offense to allegations of it being staged and pledged his support to the FBI investigation.
In a truly heinous act, a noose was found in the garage of Bubba Wallace before the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and a NASCAR race being postponed by rain. In this case, Sunday’s GEICO 500 at Talladega has been moved to Monday.
