A top-tier NASCAR newsletter, containing insider scoops, race day highlights, in-depth interviews, and untold historical tales, curated for you three times a week – by EssentiallySports

👋 Dear Motorheads,

Sheesh! The days are passing faster than we imagined. It felt like two hours ago we were dissecting the Crashes at the Coke Zero Sugar 400. But we’re already halfway through the week, approaching the Regular Season championship finale at Darlington?! It is true. Time does not wait for anyone, especially in a sport decided by split-second margins.

Regardless, before we could get to the Southern 500, NASCAR kept us all busy with the news of a confirmed international Cup race. If you weren’t aware, Mexico City is about to host the first points-paying premier division race in six decades. While it is a big step for the sport, it has signaled some troubling bearings for Kyle Busch. The type that made Rowdy a wanted man south of the border last year. So what happened? And will it affect his Mexico City escapade in 2025? That's something we'll explore today.

Other than that, the Lucky Dog has a whole lot to talk about, from Denny Hamlin’s sly dig at Bubba Wallace to Tony Stewart getting involved in some legal troubles of his own!

So let's dive in!

In today’s newsletter, we’ll uncover these hottest stories from the NASCAR universe:
