NASCAR President Reveals Surprising Threat Amid F1 and IndyCar Pressure
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. NASCAR President Steve Phelps believes that the race series isn't in direct competition with Formula 1 and IndyCar. While NASCAR remains the top choice in terms of viewership within the United States, F1 is building momentum as it brings races to Miami, Austin, and now Las Vegas. Netflix's Drive to Survive is also helping F1 grow its popularity state-side, though Phelps believes that NASCAR faces bigger threats. "Yeah, for us, I actually don't view them as competitors," Phelps said during an interview with CNBC. Ryan Blaney, driver of the #12 Menards/Delta Ford, Chase Elliott, driver of the #9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet, and Ty Gibbs, driver of the #54 SAIA LTL Freight Toyota, race during the NASCAR Cup Series...

More Photo by"Our competitors, I view as more holistically. And I think it's really not just motorsports, actually not even just sports, it's entertainment. And we are competing for that dollar. "We are competing for your time and other people's time because if they're not watching NASCAR, are they watching Netflix? Are they watching movies? Are they watching CNBC? "What are they doing when they're not doing that? So it's super competitive." NASCAR is attempting to combat growing competition by expanding its presence to various platforms. The racing series is available on TNT, Amazon Prime, and Fox, as it tries to expand its reach across multiple streaming services and channels. Along with expanding viewing options, the sport is widening its race schedule and the number of locations. For the first time, NASCAR raced in Mexico, potentially paving the way for future races in other countries. "I believe that global expansion for us is important," he added. "Like most people don't know, we have four racing series around the globe. "We have a series in Canada. We have a series of Mexico. We have a series in Brazil, and we have a series in Europe. All meant to do three things: driver development. "So, getting drivers from other countries to come to our national series, like Daniel Suarez, who graduated from our Mexico series and then went up and raced in our national series and has won races in our national series. He was our Xfinity Series champion." There are logistical concerns regarding further expansion, as teams faced several challenges in getting to Mexico and the other races after. F1, meanwhile, is much more prepared to travel around the world. Its international impact is much larger as a result and Liberty Media is hoping to inch closer to NASCAR and become a bigger threat in America. NASCAR holds long-time roots in the States, but F1's rapid expansion may challenge them sooner rather than later. For more NASCAR news, head on over to Newsweek Sports.

Ryan Blaney, newly sparked, to be a dad, but first he must deal with Carson Hocevar
Ryan Blaney has made steady progression during his NASCAR career, with that 2023 Cup Series championship the most noteworthy accomplishment so far. Next up, Blaney joins the NASCAR dads club. He and wife Gianna have announced they're expecting their first child later this year. Quite a ride for Gianna, too. She and Ryan went public with their relationship five years ago. Two years ago, shortly after Ryan won the championship, they announced their engagement, and a year later, they were married. Ryan and Gianna, prior to the 2024 NASCAR awards banquet in Charlotte. In the midst of all that, Gianna was named Miss Hooters in 2021. That honor capped a four-year run of Gianna working at a South Florida Hooters in Boca Raton. Advertisement It's been a bit of a blur, culminating in this latest news. And for what it's worth, Ryan might mark the occasion by putting Carson Hocevar into a tire barrier this weekend in downtown Chicago. You heard me. The bubbling NASCAR feud between Carson Hocevar and Ryan Blaney A quick timeline on these potential hostilities: Back in February, at the first Atlanta race of 2025, Hocevar was trailing Blaney entering Turn 1 but had a head of steam (either that, or Blaney had slowed a tad). Hocevar, in his No. 77 Chevy, appeared to consider passing Blaney on the high side but ran out of time and room, and instead slammed Blaney's right-rear, sending Blaney's No. 12 Ford into a long slide. Advertisement Blaney recovered and finished fourth. Recovered, yes, but he also remembered. Or maybe he was just reminded. Fast-forward to this past week, again at Atlanta, for the first week of the five-week, in-season 'tournament,' complete with brackets, among 32 drivers. Wouldn't you know it, Blaney's first-round opponent was Hocevar. Blaney was seeded seventh in the bracket and Hocevar 26th. Blaney was caught up in an early wreck, Hocevar wasn't, and Hocevar advanced in the tournament by virtue of finishing well ahead of Blaney at Atlanta. Except that's not where it ended. Ryan Blaney says his spark is reignited Someone in charge of social-media engagement with Hocevar's team — Spire Motorsports — decided to have a little fun with the tournament advancement. At Ryan Blaney's expense. And Blaney noticed. And Blaney suddenly remembered February at Atlanta. Advertisement Blaney visited the 'Door Bumper Clear' podcast earlier this week, and guess what topic came up. No better way to end this little saga — for now — with Blaney's own words. 'I'm happy he was able to beat me when I got crashed on Lap 50 — that was cool. Great job by the whole Spire Motorsports team. I saw that, and I wasn't really in a mood. I was like, 'Oh, it's speedway racing, whatever.' Then, I saw that on the plane and I'm like, 'Well, now you've kind of pissed me off a little bit.' 'So, that social media person is going to have to explain when something happens to the 77 car, that it was their fault. I hope they're proud of themselves for that. I do still owe him — he wrecked me at first Atlanta this year and I haven't done anything about it. Now, you've just re-sparked me.' — Email Ken Willis at Advertisement This article originally appeared on The Daytona Beach News-Journal: Ryan Blaney, wife Gianna, expecting; Carson Hocevar also on to-do list
