Racing

It's down to one race -- and four drivers.

Hello there! It's podcast time again!

Imagine logging 20,000 remote miles in northern Canada and Alaska, crossing all of British Columbia and heading deep into the Northwest Territories, the Yukon Territory, and our country’s final frontier, Alaska, in late summer and the dead of winter. The roads are rough, the weather equally as so, especially as we travel above the Arctic Circle—again.

Hey all, it's podcast time!

Looking for this weekend's NASCAR action? Here's how to watch the YellaWood 500.

It's Friday, so it must be podcast time again.

The first round of the 2025 NASCAR playoffs began at Darlington last week, and here's a breakdown of the craziness that happened on pit lane during that race.

Hey hey, it's podcast time!

NASCAR's playoffs are in full bore, and the third round begins Saturday at Las Vegas. Here's how to watch the South Point 400.

Hello there! It's podcast time again!

Join Vasser Sullivan Racing mechanic and pit crew member Bozi Tatarevic to go behind the scenes of the Battle of the Bricks IMSA endurance race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as he works on the No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3.

Yup, it's Friday, so you know what that means. It's podcast time!

Today's TTAC podcast goes deep on what Leno's Law is, and why it's failed, at least to this point.

Hello! It's time for the TTAC podcast!

Picture the 1980s. Wall Street was booming, shoulder pads were considered high fashion.

Hello! It's podcast time yet again!

NASCAR may be leaving Chicago in 2026, but it's not leaving Chicagoland.

Hey there, happy Friday! It's podcast time!

It's Friday, so it must be podcast time!

It's podcast time again!

This week on the TTAC podcast, the talk is all about modifying your own car.

American rallying fans are presently having a conniption after the 2026 World Rally Championship calendar was revealed on Thursday. Despite previous confirmation from WRC leadership that fans should see the sport officially returning to North America for the first time in almost four decades, those events were conspicuously absent from the newly released WRC calendar.

It's TTAC podcast time!

We told you earlier this week that NASCAR was pretty close to inking a deal with San Diego for a street race, and that the series will not have a Chicago street race in 2026.

NASCAR announced on Friday that the Chicago Street Race is off the calendar for 2026, with the goal of returning in 2027, though not on a weekend near the Fourth of July holiday.

Welcome to this week’s TTAC podcast! This week we’re discussing how the loss of the EV tax credit will affect the market.

Matt P. brought us some scary news for race fans today -- New Jersey's Old Bridge racetrack is under threat.

Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, is reportedly under threat thanks to the state’s "affordable housing" directive. Local reports stipulate that the Department of Community Affairs has set a goal of providing zoning for 673 homes new within Old Bridge over the next 10 years.

I saw the new F1 movie, starring Brad Pitt, over the weekend. Based on reviews I read and what I heard/what people who'd seen it told me, I had an idea of what to expect. And I got exactly that. Nothing more, nothing less.

As we've said almost too many times over the past two weeks, it is uncertain if NASCAR will return to downtown Chicago in 2026. NASCAR drivers seemed to hope that the Chicago Street Race returns -- and so, too, did a few fans I spoke to at the race.

It's Friday, so that means it's podcast time again!

Whether the Chicago Street Race (the Loop 110 Xfinity race and Grant Park 165 Cup race) returns in 2026 is up in the air. The three-year contract has two option years, and it's not yet decided if those will be exercised.

While there has been no shortage of controversy surrounding Christian Horner in recent times, it always seemed like Red Bull Racing was committed to its long-time team principal. This morning, we learned that the energy drink company’s willingness to back Horner has run dry, as the racing team made the shocking announcement that he would be stepping down with immediate effect.

For three years, NASCAR has come to Chicago in early July and shut down streets in the heart of downtown in order to stage two races on those same streets.

For three years, rain cast a literal and figurative cloud over the event. For three years, I was there to take it all in.

I hope that this was just the third year, and not the final year.

CHICAGO -- I wrote yesterday that NASCAR driver Shane Van Gisbergen has been so dominant at the Chicago street course he may need to move to Chicago, despite being a grass-loving country boy from New Zealand. Today, I am suggesting that Van Gisbergen might need to run for mayor, after he won the NASCAR Cup Grant Park 165.

He's won two of three Cup races in Chicago, and two of three Xfinity races in Chicago. For the mathematically challenged, that's four out of six.

CHICAGO -- While one relative NASCAR newcomer, Connor Zilisch, challenged for the win in the NASCAR Xfinity Loop 110 Chicago Street Race, it was Shane Van Gisbergen's day in Chicago. Again.

Welcome to the Bozi Breakdown. This week, the talk is all about pit stops.

It's podcast time again! A day early, because of the holiday. This week we discuss glass cleaner, NASCAR at Atlanta, and whether car dealerships are doomed.

It's podcast time again! This week on the TTAC podcast we talk about exhaust welds, NASCAR fuel strategy, and how to fix Stellantis.

It's Friday, and that means it's podcast time again!

Today we have a 2005 Chevrolet SSR that was used as a parade truck for that year's Indianapolis 500, which was won by the late Dan Wheldon.

The Blue Oval crew has been bringing the heat to Pikes Peak over the last couple of years - and it seems 2025 may be the hottest trial yet.

Ram hasn’t been a part of NASCAR Truck Series races for 13 years, but it recently announced a return to the sport in the 2026 Craftsman Truck Series. Tim Kuniskis, Ram CEO, made the announcement at a NASCAR event in Michigan this past weekend, saying that customers and dealers have been clamoring for the move for years.

Hey hey, it's Friday, so it must be podcast time!

Hello there! It's podcast time again, and this week we have a topic that's perfect for graduation season.

Yeah, yeah, it's a day late. Mea culpa. Anyway, time for my 2025 Indianapolis 500 recap. I've done one of these most years -- and this year was one of the most interesting races I've seen since starting at TTAC.

I sat through 1,100 miles of racing on Sunday (Indy 500 recap forthcoming). I'd also hoped to get a part of Monaco in, but honestly forgot it was on.

It appears that more EV owners are willing to take them on longer road trips, thanks to increasing range and improving charging infrastructure.

Hey there, it's podcast time once again!

Hello there! It's time once again for the TTAC podcast!

It's considered common knowledge that consumers would rather take their cars to an independent shop for repairs than the more-expensive dealership. But is it true?

Iowa has passed a bill that prohibits people from issuing formal complaints about nearby racetracks. House Bill 645 is designed to protect racing venues from being subject to legal actions pertaining to noise and nuisance claims.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has suggested that he might need to revisit the controversial new rules pertaining to offensive language. While the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has been attempting to curtail what leadership considers speech that it considers “coarse, rude, or may cause offence,” drivers have started to push back.

Hey all, it's podcast time again!

I am back in Chicago after a productive whirlwind of two-ish days in Manhattan. The podcast went on the road to the 2025 New York Auto Show!

A portion of this week's TTAC podcast was given over to discussing the throwback paint schemes that NASCAR drivers were running at Darlington last weekend.

It's Friday, and we're podcasting!
