SVG continues his NASCAR plunder; playoff cut looms for Kyle Busch, others: Let's rank 'em
Since it feels as if Sunday was just a perfunctory routine — a box to check, a mere formality — we should just look ahead to the coming two-week bout of Saturday Night Fever and who's feeling the most heat. The road-course Plunder from Down Under is something we sorta expected, though not to this extreme. But a few other races have been won by fellas who weren't necessarily automatic picks to do so, given their record and/or circumstances. We're looking at y'all: Bubba Wallace, Josh Berry and Austin Cindric. Hell, for a while there, even Chase Elliott couldn't be counted upon to clinch a playoff spot with a trophy. Now we're down to two regular-season races remaining — scheduled for the next two Saturday evenings — the second of which, at Daytona, could be won by anyone with a firesuit and car keys. With 13 different winners and therefore three playoff spots currently occupied based on the point standings, a few race teams will soon consider 2025 a washout. Right now, Tyler Reddick is all but locked in on points, while Alex Bowman seems relatively safe, barring two new winners the next two weeks. But boy oh boy, Chris Buescher is teetering on a thin bubble. Buescher's point edge over the next closest non-winner (Ryan Preece) is a healthy 34 points, but he also needs Cinderella to stay home two Saturdays from now, when Daytona offers a lifeline to the Have Nots, as it did last year with Harrison Burton. You know who's not worried? That's right, the plunderer. Let's get to that and move along … First Gear: Shane van Gisbergen finds yet another gear If not Sonoma, certainly Watkins Glen, right? The Glen would be Shane van Gisbergen's chance to lose a road-course race. Right? I mean, come on, the first sign arrived Saturday when Ryan Blaney dusted him in qualifying by a whopping three one-hundredths of a second! Watkins Glen is different, they all said. Not as 'technical,' which is race-speak for difficult to maneuver — might remind you of a few old mates, technically speaking. The Cup regulars would get their revenge Sunday in upstate New York. Well, SVG appeared to say, here's what happens when I quit toying around and go full-throttle. When is the last time you saw an 11-second margin of victory? Yeah, I know, Rusty Wallace won Watkins Glen by nearly 12 seconds just … just … when was it? Oh yeah, just 38 years ago! I'll say it again. Shane is carrying a lot of playoff bonus points (22) into the Round of 16. Only Denny Hamlin (24) and Kyle Larson (23) have more. If that cushion helps SVG get to the Round of 12, that round includes the Charlotte road course, which means he'll have a real shot to make the Round of 8. Gee, you think? Second Gear: Connor Zilisch delivers a win and quite a scare Perhaps the best chance of challenging SVG at Watkins Glen tumbled away Saturday when Connor Zilisch took his nasty spill in Victory Lane. That was a brutal, head-first fall from the roof of the winning car, and the most immediate whiplash of emotions we've seen in many years. A broken collarbone is bad, but compared to the worst fears when we saw Connor Z on the ground, we'll take it. Don't watch this video below if you're queasy about such things ... And you wonder if we're just lucky it doesn't happen more often. There are plenty of opportunities for the roof and/or window ledge to get wet and slick. Makes you wonder if teams shouldn't appoint a Victory Lane spotter, similar to those the gymnasts use when attempting something overly daring on the rings or uneven bars. Trackhouse Racing pulled the Sunday entry for Zilisch, who was going to make his fourth Cup start of the year. It might've been interesting if he hadn't gotten hurt, because his winning run Saturday included a drop-kick that put SVG in the wall. They're teammates, by the way, adding to the Sunday dynamics that never played out. Third Gear: Ranking the bummers (yes, including Kyle Busch) Of those most likely to miss the playoffs, which driver should be the most bummed about it? Approaching the topic, let's assume Reddick and Bowman are safe on points, as mentioned above. And let's assume Buescher isn't. Let's rank 'em, one through five, in order of who would consider 2025 the bigger disappointment. 1. Ty Gibbs: Surprised that you don't see a bigger name here? Don't be, this kid isn't supposed to be battling this hard in his third full (winless) Cup season. His three teammates have a combined eight wins. We're guessing the patience will continue at Joe GIBBS Racing. 2. Kyle Busch: Tempted to rank him lower, since he probably knew he wouldn't have what he needed under him. Team owner Richard Childress might be just as upset about it. Actually, he's definitely more upset, because Kyle seems to be resigned to battling for a top-15 here and there. 3. Chris Buescher: Two years ago, he was looking like a star in the making. He hasn't been horrible by any stretch, but still ... 4. Brad Keselowski: He fell way behind through the first half of the season, and by summer, it was obvious that only a win would get him in the playoffs. He's been digging hard of late and it still might happen. 5. Ryan Preece: He landed at RFK Racing after Stewart-Haas shuttered last winter, and he's been OK. Sitting 12th in the non-playoff point standings indicates decency. Fourth Gear: ARCA gets down and dirty and lets us watch! A lot of fans like to say they love a good dirt-track race, even if they haven't bothered to watch one in years. Well, the solid Americans at ARCA are giving you two chances in the next three weeks to watch full-bodied stock-cars have at it on the rich soil of the Midwest. And frankly, this Sunday, it's the only game in town, so why not give it a look-see on your color TV? ARCA races Sunday afternoon at the Illinois State Fairgrounds (2 p.m., FS1). And it's not some crampy bull ring, but a one-mile oval with rich clay and a rich history. A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and, more recently, Kyle Larson have won there. Bob Keselowski, Brad's dad, had several wins at the 'Springfield Mile.' Two weeks later, on the Sunday night before Labor Day, ARCA will race at another Illinois one-miler — the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, and I know what you're thinking.

NASCAR takeaways: No controversy this time as Austin Dillon wins Richmond race
Austin Dillon breezed through his last lap. He had been in front for the previous 47 trips around Richmond Raceway on Saturday, Aug. 16. What was one more? He held off Alex Bowman by 2.5 seconds to capture the Cook Out 400 checkered flag and slide himself into the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Dillon thought he had done so last year. He won at Richmond, but it happened with two bull-in-a-china-shop moves on Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin. NASCAR let him keep the victory but stripped him of the automatic postseason berth a few days later. So this one felt oh so good. 'I really wanted that one,' Dillon said on the USA broadcast after his post-race burnout. 'Last year hurt really bad, just going through the whole process of it. But this one feels so sweet. I love Richmond.' Let's break it down. 1. Austin Dillon redeems himself at Richmond Dillon entered the evening 28th in the point standings. His first-place finish wasn't a fluke, though. The driver of the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet led 107 laps, which trailed only Bubba Wallace's 123. They were the only two cars to surpass 60. Wallace claimed Stage 2, and Tyler Reddick grabbed Stage 1. Dillon retook the lead with 48 laps to go and cruised from there. During the first 24 races of the year, he led a total of eight laps. The victory was the sixth of his Cup Series career and first since the 2024 Cook Out 400. He's now won at Richmond twice, Daytona twice, Charlotte once and Texas once. Why has he enjoyed this level of success at Richmond? 'Tire management,' Dillon said. 'I probably am the slowest to get going on some of these tracks when it really comes to high grip. But when it comes to these places and taking care of your stuff, I'll go against the best of them.' 2. What does Austin Dillon's win do for NASCAR playoff picture? Well, Chris Buescher is out of a spot. He was clinging to the 16th and final position the last few weeks. With Dillon vaulting in from outside the bubble, Buescher drops below the cutline. Right now, Reddick and Bowman hold the final two playoff spots. Reddick stands 89 points above the cutline, with Bowman 60 above Buescher. Ryan Preece lags 34 points behind Buescher. If Daytona produces a new winner, only one driver will reach the postseason on points. If a repeat winner emerges next weekend, two drivers will enter on points. One other points note: William Byron clinched the regular-season title at Richmond. He placed 12th while Chase Elliott, the only guy who could've caught him, got tangled up in a wreck and did not finish. Byron will receive 15 playoff bonus points. 3. NASCAR schedule: It's time for Daytona It all comes down to this. Only one chance remains for drivers to clinch a postseason berth, and it comes next Saturday at Daytona International Speedway. Last August, Harrison Burton went from way outside the playoff picture to securing his place with a surprising Coke Zero Sugar 400 win, the first triumph of his Cup Series career. Will we see a repeat this year? Or will one of the sport's heavyweights add another victory to his 2025 collection? The green flag is set to drop shortly after 7:30 p.m. NBC will air the race.

NASCAR results: Full finishing order of Cook Out 400 race at Richmond Raceway
This one was a little more normal. Austin Dillon won the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway without controversy Saturday. He also claimed the race last year, but it came via a pair of chaotic last-lap moves on Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin that got him stripped of his automatic NASCAR playoff berth. This time, no worry. He's in. The driver of the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet led 107 laps during his first win of the 2025 Cup Series season. He held off runner-up Alex Bowman. Ryan Blaney, Logano and Austin Cindric rounded out the top five. Let's take a look at the complete results.
