When NASCAR returned the All-Star Race to North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2023, the move resonated immediately with fans, drivers, and teams. The response felt like a homecoming, and much of the public credit landed with Dale Earnhardt Jr.

The antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR by two of its racing teams — including one co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan — was settled Thursday, with permanent charters granted to all teams.

That settlement is a new charter system called "evergreen charters", meaning teams are going to get permanent team charters, which was the main point of Jordan, driver Danny Hamlin and their team's lawsuit. Although the financial agreements between the two sides will not be publicly disclosed.

A Joe Gibbs Racing insider makes a confident prediction about how the timing of pitstops will improve going forward to 2026.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. reacts to NASCAR viewing SRX as a threat, citing lawsuit texts, financial struggles, and North Wilkesboro’s revival.

Michael Annett, a former racecar driver who made 436 combined starts in NASCAR's three national touring series, has died. He was 39. JR Motorsports, one of Annett's former teams, posted the news on social media on Friday. No cause of death was announced.
