Pretty amazing Reddick pulled it off.

Wishing I’d have grabbed some of that 16/1 mid-week.

Never been done in the 75-year history of NASCAR

Tyler Reddick wins first 3 races of season, making NASCAR history

Tyler Reddick became the first driver in NASCAR Cup Series history to win the first three races of the season with a victory Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas.

10 pm race so watchable.

I record them and try not to instinctively look at my phone when I wake up Sunday morning so I can re-watch the entire thing.

They usually start at 7 am or 8 am our time.

Expect a big year out of Mercedes this year.

George Russell is the favorite in Australia and to win the overall title. His Mercedes teammate Kimi is fourth fave for the title.

Odds seem to think McLaren missed the 2026 set up.

Both of their drivers, Norris and Piastri, who battled for the 2025 title all season with Norris ultimately winning it, aren’t among the top faves like they were all last season.

Ok boys and @BMR Genie NASCAR is heading to Phoenix Raceway for a Saturday night race (6:30 PM) in the O’Reilly’s Series and a Sunday afternoon (3:30 PM ET) race in the Cup Series.

After two super speedways to start the season and a road course last week at COTA, NASCAR heads west to a Phoenix’s mile oval with a unique dogleg layout. Makes for multiple-wide racing on restarts, especially late, as drivers try to go for the pivotal pass that could either be a race-winning move or lead to disaster.

Blaney won here in the fall and Bell won in the spring. They are among the favorites this week.

Byron drops down to the O’Reilly’s series to drive the #88 Jr. Motorsport entry and will definitely be the favorite Saturday night.

F1 is also in action for its season-opener in Australia. Kicking off at 11 PM ET Saturday. George Russell is the early favorite there, slightly ahead of Max, but as always in F1 qualifying is everything so bet your man early if you think he might get the pole. Usually pole sitters are close to even money or less in F1.

I really enjoy this track.

Sometimes 6, 7 wide racing after a restart. Don’t see that on many one-mile tracks. (If ever)
