"Will we ever see another driver get to 60 wins?" was a question posed by @DaleJr on the Dale Jr. Download. "I think Kyle Larson (32 wins) could do it, maybe Joey (Logano, 37 wins)." @NASCAR fans, who do you think could reach 60 #NASCAR Cup Series wins in the future?

In addition to now being tied for 10th all-time in @NASCAR Cup Series wins with Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin's win marks the 300th combined victory for the No. 11 across the 3 National Touring Series. #NASCAR | #SouthPoint400 | #NASCARPlayoffs | @MotorReference | @jeff_gluck

At the behest of @JohnNewby_ here is a NEW chart detailing various embarrassing incidents by @NASCAR Drivers / crew members with @rileyherbst's failed attempt at retaliation as the latest addition #NASCAR fans, are there any we missed? #BofAROVAL | #NASCARPlayoffs | @jeff_gluck

Post-Race Technical inspection is complete. Riley Herbst has been DISQUALIFIED after failing post-race weights. With 4 DQs this season, it is the MOST disqualifications in a single @NASCAR Cup Series season since 1960. #NASCAR | #BofAROVAL | #NASCARPlayoffs | @jeff_gluck

Shane van Gisbergen's win at the Charlotte ROVAL marked the 80th time that a driver ineligible/eliminated from the #NASCARPlayoffs won a Playoff race. It's the 18th time in the #NASCAR Cup Series since eliminations started (2014-present) & 36th time when including The Chase era.

When the green flag flies on Sunday at @LVMotorSpeedway it will mark Katherine Legge's 7th career @NASCAR Cup Series start (as the chart visualizes), tying her with Sara Christian for 5th all-time in Cup starts by a female driver. #NASCAR | #SouthPoint400

Based on currently available data, & what @JSchuoler & I have compiled so far, the last full season when there were ZERO races postponed to another day or completely rescheduled due to weather across all of @NASCAR's 3 National Touring Series was 1994. #NASCAR @jeff_gluck

And with that win at @PoconoRaceway earlier this season, @DaleJr became just the 10th person (3rd in @XfinityRacing) to have wins in @NASCAR as a driver, a team owner (Chance 2 & @JRMotorsports combined in the totals), and as a crew chief. #NASCAR | @MotorReference

On @SiriusXMNASCAR with @DGodfatherMoody, @kylepetty mentioned that Lee Petty was penalized points for competing in a rival series to @NASCAR in 1956, costing him the title to Buck Baker. That 1 of 7 examples of #NASCAR drivers having their points stripped for racing elsewhere.

With 4 races left this season, Corey Heim is officially the winningest driver of the 2025 @NASCAR_Trucks Series season with 9 wins. Of the 30 previous Truck seasons, the winningest driver has won the championship 10 times. Will Heim win the title & how many more races? #NASCAR

Connor Zilisch is poised to become the winningest driver this year in @NASCAR_Xfinity. Interestingly, the winningest driver has NOT won the @XfinityRacing title since 2009. Can Zilisch break the trend? #NASCAR | @MotorReference

This weekend marks the 21st anniversary of the first @NASCAR Cup Series Overtime at @IMS, what drivers do you think have the most wins in OT? More often than not, the driver leading at the scheduled distance wins, ~60% of the time. 🎨: @_DanielCespedes #NASCAR | #Brickyard400

Today, @DaleJr makes his @NASCAR_Xfinity debut as a crew chief for @ConnorZilisch. IF Zilisch were to win at @PoconoRaceway today, Dale Jr would become the 9th person with wins as a driver, a crew chief, and a team owner. #NASCAR | #ExplorePocono250 | @XfinityRacing

#NASCAR STAT: As a result of @joeylogano's disqualification at @TALLADEGA, the @Team_Penske driver now holds the record for longest stretch to start a season by a defending champion without a top-5 finish at 10 races. @BillElliott9 held the record from 1989 - 2025. @jeff_gluck

After the @NASCAR_Xfinity Series race this past weekend, some called for in-race penalties & asking when the last time some were called. Here are the 15 most recent in-race penalties for rough driving/retaliation that I've been able to document. #NASCAR | @MotorReference

Today, @katherinelegge joins 16 other women to have made starts in the @NASCAR Cup Series over the course of the sport's 77-year history, a list which includes Danica Patrick, Janet Guthrie, Shawna Robinson, and more. #NASCAR | #ShrinersChildrens500 | #WomensHistoryMonth

As 1st pointed out by @ThomasQuinnMcC1, it appears that there are at least 2 @NASCAR_Xfinity races from 1997, 1 @XfinityRacing race from 1998, & 4 from 1999 might be heading to the @NASCARClassics site. 👀 Going to love diving into those races on @NASCAR Classics. #NASCAR

.@EuroNASCAR has revamped for 2025. Club Challenge is now the Rookie Challenge. EuroNASCAR 2 is now EuroNASCAR OPEN. #NASCAR | #EuroNASCAR | #NWES | #PureRacing

With @RickWareRacing announcing that Code Ware will drive the No. 51 @FordPerformance Mustang Dark Horse full-time in 2025, it marks the FIRST time in @NASCAR's Charter Era ALL 36 Chartered Cars will have a single full-time driver. #NASCAR

With @h3lio now locked into the #DAYTONA500 with the new @NASCAR Open Exemption Provisional (should it be needed), the @TeamTrackhouse @THProject91 driver will become the 207th internationally-born driver, & 4th Brazilian driver, to start a #NASCAR National Touring Series race.
