This is the final race of the regular season before the Round of 10 starts on Aug. 30. Can a driver outside the current playoff picture get a surprise win on Friday?

Corey Heim, Layne Riggs, Chandler Smith, Daniel Hemric, Tyler Ankrum, and Rajah Caruth are locked into the playoffs by wins, while Grant Enfinger, Ty Majeski, and Kaden Honeycutt have locked themselves in by points. But that final playoff spot is still anyone's. Jake Garcia holds an 11-point lead over teammate Ben Rhodes for the final playoff spot, while rookie Giovanni Ruggiero could still earn his way in on points if Garcia and Rhodes run into issues on Friday. Beyond that, the drivers 13th or lower in points are in must-win territory, as a victory is the only thing that would get them into the postseason. Last year, Majeski came away with the win in this race. He's one of three drivers in this field with a Truck Series win here, along with Enfinger and Smith.

Another NASCAR Driver Suffers From Injury After Watkins Glen Incident
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The NASCAR race weekend at Watkins Glen International made headlines not only for Shane van Gisbergen's fourth Cup Series victory, but also for full-time Xfinity driver Connor Zilisch's fall while celebrating his race win in the Victory Lane. Now though, it appears that another driver was involved in an incident on the same weekend, leading to his absence from the upcoming race at Richmond. Bill McAnally Racing confirmed in a statement on X that Jack Wood will not be able to compete in the Truck Series race on Friday at Richmond Raceway as a "precautionary" measure after he sustained an injury at Watkins Glen. The update read: "Jack Wood will not compete in Friday's race at Richmond Raceway for precautionary measures due to an injury he sustained at Watkins Glen International. The No. 91 entry has been withdrawn from the event. "An update on Wood's status will be announced at a later date." Christopher Bell, driver of the #52 Halmar International Toyota, and Corey Heim, driver of the #11 Mobil 1 Toyota, lead the field during the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Mission 176 at The Glen at Watkins... Christopher Bell, driver of the #52 Halmar International Toyota, and Corey Heim, driver of the #11 Mobil 1 Toyota, lead the field during the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Mission 176 at The Glen at Watkins Glen International on August 08, 2025 in Watkins Glen, New York. MoreThe incident occurred when Wood lost control of his truck due to a suspected front left tire puncture, leading him to crash into the barriers on either side of the track. While he was released from the infield care center after evaluation, the severity of his injury remains unknown. Fortunately for Zilisch, who leads the points standings, it is an Xfinity Series off-weekend this time, meaning he has one more week left to recover from a broken collarbone. He recently underwent surgery to speed up his recovery, but it remains to be seen if he will return for the Wawa 250 at Daytona International Speedway on August 22. At Watkins Glen, Zilisch was to race the following day for Trackhouse Racing in the Cup Series. However, his injury prevented that from happening. Trackhouse owner Justin Marks opened up about the 19-year-old's return to racing after the incident, explaining how discussions had to be made with several parties to ensure Zilisch received maximum support. Newsweek Sports reported his comments: "I think it's a discussion that we all have to have. We haven't really talked about much, obviously, since yesterday, but in the little bit that we've discussed in some of the quiet moments over the last 24 hours, it's going to have to be a group decision. "It's going to have to be sponsors, Chevrolet, the team, taking care of his development, taking care of him as a human and as an athlete, and then keeping his motivations high and making sure he knows he's got a group of people behind him that are supportive of him."

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is in Watkins Glen this weekend for some road-course racing action.

Stewart Friesen suffered a major injury while racing in another series and is out of the No. 52 truck, with Cup Series driver Christopher Bell set to take the truck over this weekend. But Bell won't be in that truck long, as Kaden Honeycutt is set to take it over following this weekend. Honeycutt had been racing for Niece Motorsports and sits sixth in points, but he was released after informing the team he had signed with a different team and manufacturer for next season. He is in the Young's Motorsports No. 02 this weekend, while Connor Zilisch will race his old No. 45 truck. This is the second road-course race of the season for the Truck Series. Back in June, Heim dominated at Lime Rock, leading 99 of the 100 laps. Ty Majeski, Giovanni Ruggiero, Ben Rhodes, and Cam Waters rounded out the top five. This is a crowded field. In addition to Zilisch and Bell, full-time Cup Series or Xfinity Series drivers in the field include William Sawalich, Kyle Busch, Sammy Smith, Ross Chastain, and Chris Buescher.

Christopher Bell Gushes As He Bags Eye-Watering $1 Million NASCAR All-Star Prize
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell clinched the victory of the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway, and as a result, bagged the staggering $1 million prize. The driver of the No. 20 Toyota Camry XSE fended of Team Penske driver Joey Logano to celebrate on Victory Lane. While reacting to the achievement after the race, Bell could barely contain his excitement: "North Wilkesboro, how about that one? That right there was absolutely incredible. North Wilkesboro is the best short track on the schedule. Let's go. [The No. 20 pit crew is] the best. There's nothing else to say. Christopher Bell, driver of the #20 Mobil 1 Toyota, celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 18, 2025 in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. Christopher Bell, driver of the #20 Mobil 1 Toyota, celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 18, 2025 in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina."This sport can be so humbling because behind the wheel you're just a small part of the success. These boys right here, Adam Stevens [crew chief] on the pit box, all the mechanics, all the engineers that put this thing together – they're the big picture. I'm just the guy that gets to stand up here and talk to you and take the pictures, but without them I'm nobody and I owe it all to these guys. The 30 year old driver added: "North Wilkesboro – the best short track in NASCAR. It is absolutely incredible. I had so much fun last year. I sucked in the race, but racing here last year was so much fun. As this place continues to age, it's just going to get better and better. "Man, that was an amazing race. There were so many guys up there racing for the lead. We saw two-wide, three-wide for the lead. It's just a pleasure to race here, and especially whenever you get to drive this Camry. These boys have done such a good job on this thing. I told them going into it, this was the best car we've had in a long time. Christopher's best #AllStarRace finish before tonight? 10th. He sure changed that stat. — NASCAR (@NASCAR) May 19, 2025 "Joey was fast. He gave us a lot of competition and [Ryan Blaney] was really good there and [Chase Elliott]. They had competitive cars. The strategy – we knew it would be all over the place and it fell our way. "[Joey Logano] is probably the best. Him and his spotter do such a good job of working together to play the air game. It works, it works really well. Whether you're at North Wilkesboro or you're at Kansas or Michigan. "He did a great job of trying to keep me behind him, and I knew that once I got that run off turn 4, it was like alright, I'm going to have to be a little more aggressive and kind of leaned on him and got him out of position. I knew once I got the lead, I had the tire advantage so I should be able to cruise, and it worked out that way." NASCAR All-Star Race results

Create Account In a slam-bang affair that set a record for lead changes, Bell won by 0.829 seconds over Logano to earn his first All-Star Race victory. Ross Chastain finished third, followed by Alex Bowman and Chase Elliott. Logano elected to stay on track rather than pit during the final yellow. The decision proved to be costly while trying to hold off Bell, who had pitted for two fresh tires. The field was bunched for the final time on Lap 216 with the 'Promoter's Caution,' thrown by two-time Daytona 500 winner and Fox Sports personality Michael Waltrip, who dropped the yellow flag on the track. The gimmick to guarantee a late restart was a sidebar to an eventful race. After lackluster showings in the first two outings on the 0.625-mile oval (including Logano leading 199 of 200 laps to win last year), the All-Star Race delivered much more action in its third year at North Wilkesboro Speedway. There were 17 lead changes, breaking the mark of 13 (set in 2016) for the most in the event's 41-year history. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Pole-sitter Brad Keselowski and Logano traded the lead twice in the first 10 laps and often ran side by side for the lead. There were six leaders and 10 lead changes in the first half of the race, which topped the total number of leaders (four) and lead changes (five) in the past two All-Star Races combined. After leading 62 laps, Keselowski's bid for his first All-Star Race victory ended with a crash on Lap 177. ALL-STAR OPEN RESULTS Capitalizing on pit strategy, Carson Hocevar led the final 46 laps to win the All-Star Open and advance into the NASCAR All-Star Race. Runner-up John Hunter Nemechek also advanced to the main event by finishing second in the 100-lap warmup race. Noah Gragson won an online fan vote to earn the final transfer spot to the All-Star Race, whose field will include 20 other drivers competing for $1 million over 250 laps Sunday night. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Pole-sitter Shane van Gisbergen finished 13th after leading the first 54 laps on the 0.625-mile oval. The New Zealand native, who is in his first full Cup Series season after winning three Supercar championships in Australia, fell from first to sixth on a four-tire pit stop during the halfway caution. 'I don't know whether to smile or cry,' said van Gisbergen, who is ranked 35th in the points standings with one top 10 this season. 'It's been a dismal year for us, but I feel like we're getting better every week. This shows it.' COSTLY PENALTY Ryan Preece finished 11th in the Open after being sent to the rear from second place on a restart with 17 laps remaining. Preece said he unintentionally ran over the commitment line before which drivers must choose whether they are restarting on the inside or outside lane. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'It's really nonexistent from inside the car,' Preece said. 'You can't see it. I'm frustrated because if you have a situation like that, put a cone out there so we can see it. Our Ford Mustang was super fast, and I think we were the only one that was making some waves. It's heartbreaking to have a run like that taken away.' NASCAR repainted the restart commitment line before the start of the All-Star Race. MORE MONEY The All-Star Race winner's share has been $1 million since the 2003 event, and some drivers have grumbled that an increase for inflation is well overdue. 'I definitely think it should get raised,' 2023 Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney said this week. 'That's the only thing about the All-Star Race I'd probably change. I don't want to get greedy, but I think you can raise it to $3 million.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Bubba Wallace said he'd suggest $5 million but would be good for a bump to $3 million. 'They've got more TV money, so why not,' Wallace said, referring to NASCAR's media rights raising to $1.1 billion annually in a deal starting this year. UP NEXT The Cup Series will race May 25 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the Coca-Cola 600, the longest race of the season. Christopher Bell won last year's race, which was shortened from 600 to 374 miles by rain. Kyle Larson missed the 2024 race after arriving late because the Indianapolis 500 was delayed by rain. The Hendrick Motorsports star again will attempt to become the fifth driver to race the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Check out our sports section for the latest news and analysis.
