NASCAR's silly season is quiet so far ... but it's only June
BROOKLYN, Mich. — The free agency market in NASCAR seems quiet, with a couple of big names already off the board and many more expected to stay put. But with the uncertainty at 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, it could (but not definitely) change drastically if those organizations find themselves without charters amid their litigation with NASCAR. 23XI and Front Row each have three drivers and those drivers appear likely to remain with their organizations next year, as long as they remain three-car operations with guaranteed spots in the field. If the teams eventually have to race as open (with non-guaranteed spots in the field) following an appeals court ruling last week and don't have charters in 2026, theoretically they could see their drivers jump to other teams in the offseason. For now, the drivers would likely remain with their organizations: Bubba Wallace, Tyler Reddick and Riley Herbst at 23XI; Todd Gilliland, Zane Smith and Noah Gragson at Front Row. At 23XI, Reddick is the team leader (he won the regular-season title last year). Wallace signed a multiyear deal near the end of last year and sits 10th in the standings and appears happy there. Denny Hamlin, who co-owns 23XI Racing, said the issue of drivers leaving is not one he has sweated. "I've got so much to worry about, I'm not focused on that particularly right this second," Hamlin said. Hamlin himself isn't signed yet with Joe Gibbs Racing but is expected to ink another deal to remain with the organization. If Hamlin signs with JGR as expected, JGR would be set with the same lineup it has this year. Other top teams appear set: — Hendrick Motorsports, with William Byron signing a contract extension last month, appears set. Alex Bowman, whose contract runs through 2026, has weathered speculation he could be out and is 13th in the standings after four wrecks in the last five weeks. — Team Penske has its three drivers under contract, and Roger Penske told FOX Sports on May 31 that Austin Cindric is good for 2026 amid speculation that he could be out of a ride after his father was dismissed from the organization. "As far as Austin Cindric is concerned, I had a good talk with him," Penske said. "He's been a great young guy. ... I said, 'Austin, you've got a job to do here, you've got a contract with us and you've got a contract for next year.' "So as far as I'm concerned, we don't need to be talking about Austin Cindric [status]. We need to be talking about Austin Cindric in the winner's circle." Josh Berry, who drives for the Penske affiliate Wood Brothers Racing, has a win this year and is 17th in points and is expected to return. — Richard Childress Racing, in picking up the option last month for Kyle Busch, says it is set with its two-car stable of Busch and Austin Dillon. The biggest question mark remains at Trackhouse Racing, where Daniel Suarez is 28th in the standings. Three-time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen is 33rd in the standings as a Cup rookie but his Cup deal was never looked at as a one-and-done. Does Suarez sign another contract to remain at Trackhouse or will Trackhouse elevate development driver Connor Zilisch, who is fifth in his rookie year in Xfinity driving for JR Motorsports (he did miss one race because of injury), to full-time Cup? "I wish I didn't have to have these conversations and I didn't have these distractions, but it's part of life," Suarez said. The issue for Suarez is that if he doesn't return to Trackhouse, there could be few options unless he has enough sponsorship to push another driver out the door. RFK Racing officials indicate they won't have any changes for next year with its three-car stable remaining with Brad Keselowski, Chris Buescher and Ryan Preece. The current legal battle between Legacy Motor Club and Rick Ware Racing should not impact RFK. Charters can only be leased for one year during the seven-year charter deal. And RFK is leasing one charter from RWR this year and then will lease the charter that RWR is currently using for next year. Legacy and RWR are in court battling over whether a charter agreed to be sold to Legacy is to be done after the 2025 season or the 2026 season. Legacy's two-driver stable of Erik Jones and John Hunter Nemechek also appear to be safe for next year. If they add a third car, Xfinity driver Jesse Love's previous connection to Toyota could help him. While Spire has made some bold moves in previous years, they do have their three drivers — Carson Hocevar, Michael McDowell and Justin Haley — under contract for next season. Kaulig Racing with AJ Allmendinger (19th in the standings) and Ty Dillon (30th) is trending toward having its same stable. Allmendinger is pretty much locked in and talks continue on a Dillon renewal. The drivers 35th (Cole Custer at Haas Factory Team) and 36th (Cody Ware at Rick Ware Racing) both have family ties to team management. Custer's team appears to be finding more speed and certainly is one that has been in transition after the sale of much of Stewart-Haas Racing. Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.

Steve Lauletta Details 23XI Racing's Growth In 2025

Tilton/Getty Images) When 23XI Racing announced it was expanding to three full-time entries with the addition of rookie Riley Herbst, it showed the entire sport that this team has its eyes set on the future. The expansion raised eyebrows as 23XI expanding its existing relationship with Monster Energy, and it also gave Toyota another entry. But 23XI operates differently compared to every other team in the Nascar Cup Series. Even the company's social media appears different, having the look of an epic sports dynasty. 'We have a younger, more diverse fan base at 23XI that are interested in music, fashion, sneakers, food, art and all of those things,' 23XI Racing President Steve Lauletta said. 'We want to show up at all of those places.' Team co-owners Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan are in the midst of a complicated antitrust lawsuit with Front Row Motorsports against Nascar. As of now, 23XI Racing has three charters and their status is in flux. But they are operating as business as usual at the moment. In its first year as a three-car team, 23XI's performance has been up and down. All three drivers are winless. Bubba Wallace has shown more raw speed, but poor luck has resulted in an average finish of 18.7, while Tyler Reddick is still winless. Rookie Herbst is 34th in the standings, the third lowest of all full-time drivers. For the first time, 23XI fielded four cars with full-time Craftsman Truck Series driver Corey Heim driving the No. 67 car at Kansas and Nashville. In doing so, the team welcomed yet another duo of new sponsors, Robinhood and Chief's. 'We took on a lot by going to a third full-time car this year,' Lauletta said. 'We wanted to make sure we didn't distract or take away our focus from what we were doing for our first four years with Tyler and Bubba. "Having the ability to sign a development talent like Corey Heim had us know we'd have a fourth car and get him some seat time in the Cup Series. It gave a lot of our folks at Air Speed a chance to go to the racetrack. Yes, it's extra work for all of us, but it's important for us to continue the development of what 23XI is on and off the track.' 23XI Racing has made a name for itself for welcoming new partners to Nascar since its inception in 2021. The team inked major partnerships with companies like Door Dash and Columbia Sportswear, amongst others as the years have gone on. 'We try to be innovative and different in everything we do,' Lauletta said. 'It's how we think and deliver to our partners and how we build our brand. I've said since the beginning that our goal is to build a brand in 23XI that happens to be a race team, not a race team brand. It's proven that our fan base is different from the core Nascar fan.' Last year, Reddick captured the regular season points title and qualified for the Championship 4 for the first time in team history. While he didn't win it all, it showed the team is plenty capable of competing for championships. 'We're capable of winning a lot of races,' Lauletta said. 'Denny laid out a five-year plan when we started building this team in late 2020, and that was by 2025 to be a consistent race-winning team and championship-contending team. We got there in four years, and we need to continue that growth.' Even with the tough luck through 15 races, Reddick and Wallace are sixth and 10th in the standings, respectively.

Christian Pulisic's father tells Landon Donovan to ‘grow a pair' after criticism of son
Christian Pulisic's father, Mark, has continued the proud tradition of scrappy US soccer parents by firing back at Landon Donovan over perceived criticism of his son. Christian Pulisic has chosen not to play for the US men's national team at this summer's Gold Cup after a long season with his club team, Milan. During Fox Sports' coverage of the Uefa Nations League final between Portugal and Spain on Sunday, Donovan appeared to reference Pulisic's withdrawal from the USMNT squad, although he did not mention the player by name. [Cristiano Ronaldo]'s 40 years old,' said Donovan, who won 157 caps for the USMNT. 'He's played a long ass season. He's tired. He's out there grinding. Hurt himself in the process, and I can't help but think about our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's pissing me off.' Advertisement Related: Even with Coppa Italia loss, Christian Pulisic has had the best-ever season by an American man in Europe On Sunday evening, Mark Pulisic posted to Instagram a ChatGPT answer detailing Donovan's decision to take a sabbatical from soccer in 2013. Mark Pulisic added the comment: 'This guy is talking about commitment. Look in the mirror + grow a pair and call names out, or are you afraid? Next time you want an interview, you will get rejected again.' His son added a like to the post. In May, Donovan addressed his own sabbatical in the context of Pulisic's decision to sit out the Gold Cup. 'I understand very clearly what it's like to need a break,' said Donovan, whose call then-US head coach Jürgen Klinsmann said contributed to the decision to cut Donovan from the 2014 World Cup team. 'If there's something serious going on in your life, in your family, mentally, whatever, I get it. I'm going to assume for the sake of this conversation that's not going on. If they would actually come out and give reasons, it would help us, but none of them want to say anything publicly. I think it would help them publicly to say 'this is why.'' Advertisement Pulisic enjoyed his best season in Europe in 2024-25, putting in standout performances for Milan, even as the club slumped to eighth place in Serie A. Pulisic's decision to sit out the Gold Cup is unsurprising – he last played in the tournament, which is held every two years, in 2019. The Gold Cup is contested by Concacaf nations and occasional guest teams – Saudi Arabia will play in this year's edition. Mark Pulisic's angry response to criticism of his son has echoes of a dispute involving Christian's USMNT teammate Gio Reyna. In 2023, the Reyna family notified the US Soccer Federation of a decades-old incident involving then USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter and his wife in response to Berhalter's criticism of Reyna at a speaking event.
