Jimmie Johnson says he could run more NASCAR Cup races in 2026
Seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who has run only two Cup races this season, says 'there's a chance that I run more races next year.' One of those races, he hopes, will be the inaugural street race at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego next June. That event has special meaning for Johnson, who grew up in El Cajon, California, about 15 miles east of San Diego. Dustin Long, While San Diego would be a special place for Johnson to run his final Cup race next Father's Day (June 21), the co-owner of Legacy Motor Club said he still wants to race more in NASCAR's premier series even as he's set to turn 50 in September. 'I want to keep going,' Johnson said in response to a question from NBC Sports about his future plans. 'I want to stay in a car. I think it's good for us. 'We're hopeful to have a third charter. Need to start building a team. There's a chance that I run more races next year if we have a third charter on the docket and have a sponsor to bring along, team members to groom, a crew chief to get reps, a driver to get reps. There's a lot of scenarios that are in play. I'm hopeful I can keep going. 'I certainly don't want to feed you guys a line of BS here. There is also a scenario where (making San Diego his final Cup start) would make sense. We've put zero effort into the idea yet at this point. I have more years in me. I want to keep going.' Legacy Motor Club hopes to have a third charter next year but that could depend on the court system. Legacy Motor Club has filed a lawsuit against Rick Ware Racing, alleging that Rick Ware Racing is backing out of an agreement signed in March to sell Legacy Motor Club a charter. Rick Ware Racing claims the wrong charter number is listed in the agreement. A trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 26, 2026. Legacy Motor Club filed a lawsuit July 16 against former Spire Motorsports co-owner T.J. Puchyr, who told The Associated Press in June that he had entered into an agreement to purchase Rick Ware Racing. Legacy Motor Club accuses Puchyr of tortious interference after he helped broker the deal between Legacy Motor Club and Rick Ware Racing. Erik Jones and John Hunter Nemechek are Legacy Motor Club's full-time drivers.

Playoff standings: How national series fields shape up heading into Dover
Shane van Gisbergen made it three wins in five races as he crossed the start/finish line comfortably ahead of Chase Briscoe on Sunday at Sonoma Raceway. After the recent run of road courses in the schedule, the NASCAR Cup Series will head back to the ovals for the next three weeks, starting at Dover Motor Speedway. Read on to see full playoff standings and key battles in each of NASCAR's three national series. As a reminder: A win provisionally clinches a playoff spot for full-time drivers in all three series, and it's the simplest path to the postseason. The remainder of the postseason field — 16 drivers in Cup, 12 in Xfinity and 10 in the Craftsman Truck Series — is determined by points earned over the regular season. RELATED: | NASCAR CUP SERIES By clicking on the 'Playoff Picture' tab on our standings page, you'll see SVG is now in third place ahead of Christopher Bell. SVG has one more playoff point based on three race wins and two stage wins versus Bell's three race wins and one stage win. Hard to believe for a guy who, before this recent run of road-course dominance, sat 33rd in the standings. Drivers provisionally qualified for playoffs with a win (12): Kyle Larson (three wins), Denny Hamlin (three wins), Christopher Bell (three wins), Shane van Gisbergen (three wins), William Byron, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Chase Briscoe, Ross Chastain, Joey Logano, Austin Cindric and Josh Berry. Winless drivers more than 100 points above the elimination line (one): Tyler Reddick (+149). Biggest movement: Thanks to his 10th-place finish at Sonoma, Kyle Busch gained nine points against the elimination line and now sits minus-37 heading to Dover. Three of Busch's seven top-10 finishes this season have come on road courses, including two in a row the last two weeks. Alex Bowman lost seven points against the elimination line after Ty Dillon bumped him out of the way on the last lap to win their In-Season Challenge matchup. In addition to losing to Dillon, Bowman's 19th-place finish at Sonoma dropped him to just 32 points above the elimination line as he dipped beneath Chris Buescher in the playoff standings. Note: Drivers in bold have provisionally clinched a playoff spot by virtue of winning. There are six races remaining in the regular season.

The 18-year-old wunderkind joined Justin Allgaier and Austin Hill with three wins this season. However, Zilisch's victory meant the number of unique winners in the series stayed the same at seven this week. Drivers provisionally qualified for playoffs with a win (7): Justin Allgaier (three wins), Austin Hill (three wins), Connor Zilisch (three wins), Jesse Love, Brandon Jones, Nick Sanchez and Sammy Smith. Winless drivers more than 100 points above the elimination line (one): Sam Mayer (+163). Biggest movement: Thanks to his eighth-place finish at Sonoma, Carson Kvapil gained 27 points against the elimination line and sits just below the 100 club at plus-90 points to the good. In fact, everyone above the elimination line gained points at Sonoma: Sam Mayer (+14), Sheldon Creed (+24), Taylor Gray (+14) and Jeb Burton (+4) all joined Kvapil. This meant most of the drivers below the elimination line lost some ground, with the biggest losers being Christian Eckes (-21) and Ryan Sieg (-20), who plummeted thanks to 34th and 35th place finishes at Sonoma, respectively.

NASCAR Bringing Race To San Diego Naval Base In 2026
CORONADO, Calif. — NASCAR has landed on a unique way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy. It will race on a naval base. NASCAR Cup Series drivers will compete June 21, 2026 on a still-to-be-finalized course on Naval Base Coronado, capping a weekend that will include a Craftsman Truck Series race June 19 and an Xfinity Series race June 20. "This is another historic moment for our sport," NASCAR Executive Vice President Ben Kennedy said. The event outside of San Diego will be the first NASCAR points race in Southern California since 2023 and replaces the Chicago Street Race on the 2026 schedule, albeit not on the July 4 weekend. The idea of racing on a military base has been floated the last few years in NASCAR schedule discussions and was an idea that Kennedy said "felt like just such a natural opportunity for us to explore." "We've talked to a handful of military bases," Kennedy said. "This one was a really good fit for us. ... .We felt like it was a good opportunity for us to get back to Southern California market and re-engage our fans." The course will be roughly three miles and will utilize the tarmac and the apron areas of the runways but likely not the runways themselves, said Kennedy, who oversees NASCAR's scheduling and new events. The course will be designed to also limit disruptions of base operations. Kennedy said NASCAR expects "tens of thousands" of fans to be able to attend the event. NASCAR will have a general admission ticket that would allow people to roam to various temporary grandstands as well as to visit military displays. There also will be temporary suites erected for the event. NASCAR is partnering with Sports San Diego for promotion of the event, which for now is a one-year deal. "We'd love to kick it off and be at Naval Base Coronado for a number of years, but this could also be an opportunity for us to move it to other military installations across the country, too," Kennedy said. The announcement of the San Diego race adds another element into the still-evolving 2026 NASCAR Cup Series schedule. The race will be the 17th event of the Cup schedule (the last race televised by Prime), meaning that NASCAR has 20 weekends available for the final 19 races (the season finale already has been announced as Nov. 8 at Homestead-Miami Speedway). Where that off-weekend will come and the rest of the schedule — other than the preseason Clash Feb. 1 at Bowman Gray Stadium and season-opening Daytona 500 on Feb. 15 — is still to be finalized. Could that off-weekend be the July 4 weekend? NASCAR has traditionally raced on that weekend, including at Daytona for decades until 2020 when NASCAR moved the Daytona race to the regular-season finale in August. "More than likely, we'll have an event on that weekend, not sure exactly where it's going to land yet, but it is an important part of our schedule," Kennedy said about a race around the July 4 holiday. Whether there could be additional new venues on the 2026 schedule is also still to be determined. Since NASCAR won't race the streets of Chicago, there is some movement to race at the Chicagoland Speedway in somewhat nearby Joliet. NASCAR announced last week that it would engage in talks with Chicago politicians to return the street race in 2027 on a date other than around July 4. "It's a tremendous market for us to be in," Kennedy said about Chicago. "We're bullish about getting it back on the schedule in 2027 and beyond." If NASCAR does add Chicagoland back until it returns to the Chicago streets, where that race would come from is still to be determined. NASCAR is still in negotiations to return to Mexico City next year, with a preference for a spring date around the likely Easter off-weekend and well before the World Cup.
