NASCAR is entering All-Star weekend at Dover International Speedway after a one-way Cup Series race at Watkins Glen. Trackhouse Racing’s Shane van Gisbergen won from pole position, building up a nearly 30-second advantage over his closest opponent, Michael McDowell.
It was the Kiwi’s second consecutive Cup Series win at The Glen, and his sixth since the start of the 2025 season. However, NASCAR and FOX Sports drew criticism for their absence of coverage of Cody Ware’s crash.
Cup Series title candidate Denny Hamlin spearheaded the effort, calling it inappropriate. Elsewhere during the same race weekend, Carson Hocevar hurled obscenities at Cup Series competitor Daniel Suarez after an on-track collision. NASCAR has seen several changes, and Express U. S. Sport has compiled a list of the most important stories.
Danica Patrick shows off
Danica Patrick, a former NASCAR and IndyCar driver, is taking time away from television after quitting her position as an F1 commentator for Sky Sports. The 44-year-old resigned on the eve of the 2026 season, with Patrick hoping to explore new possibilities.
However, one aspect of Patrick’s life has remained consistent: his health and fitness. Patrick frequently shares her workout sessions with her social media followers, and she recently offered fans a glimpse into her strenuous gym training.
The training video depicted Patrick performing a demanding series of exercises, including shoulder presses, weighted pull-ups, chest presses, incline curls, and tricep pushdowns. Patrick has also been accompanied in the gym by celebrities, including Lara, President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law.
Tulsi Gabbard, the Trump administration’s Director of National Intelligence, also participated in the drills. Patrick has previously stated that she appreciates a rather exciting lifestyle.
In a 2018 interview, she stated that it’s a fresh method of eating and exercising that has helped her achieve her best physique ever. Patrick also gave viewers a tip on how to determine their ideal weight.
Perhaps you should check at your clothes. My method is to put on garments and check whether they fit me well or are too tight, she said. Clothes are an excellent gauge. Consider this: “I believe these garments shrunk. ” This does not fit as it usually does. ‘
Chase Elliott adds race
Chase Elliott, a Hendrick Motorsports racer, has included a non-NASCAR event to his 2026 schedule. The 2020 Cup Series champion will race in the Tar Heel 250 next weekend.
Elliott will race in the ASA STARS National Tour stop at Hickory Motor Speedway on May 21, before competing in the Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway three days later. As he enters this weekend’s NASCAR All-Star Race, Chase Elliott is ranked third in the Cup Series standings, riding high on a recent victory in the Würth 400.
The 30-year-old is one of just two drivers this season, along with Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing, to win many times, having also crossed the finish line earlier this year at Martinsville.
Elliott claims that there is more to come and that his squad is not currently performing at full capacity. We got off to a good start, but I don’t believe that as a group we have been as strong as we want to be or anticipate to be, Elliott said after Texas. Have simply dug in, put our heads down, and got to work.
