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,

After all this talk about Denny Hamlin's 'Unlucky Dog', the Lucky Dog is thinking about one thing, and one thing only. Who will get left behind as the Lucky 12 make it to the next round of the playoffs? We’ll talk whether your favorite driver makes it, (or perhaps the one that beats all our favorite drivers for those #11 fans) in just a moment.

But first, we must let you know that there’s been a ‘Silly’ move in the post-season. It’s official! Corey LaJoie’s ready to race for a new team. And he will get into his new seat as soon as Kansas comes around next weekend… The same goes for Justin Haley. Something tells us that the guy is about to break big come 2025. Maybe it is about his championship-winning crew chief.

So let's dive in!

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