Tony Stewart

Darlington Raceway president Kerry Tharp says he's retiring after nearly two decades of a NASCAR career. Tharp is stepping away at the end of the season. Tharp had spent 26 years in college athletic communications before joining the sport in 2005 where he became its chief spokesman for much of a decade before leading the track "Too Tough To Tame" since 2015. Tharp helped initiate a "Throwback Weekend" celebrating the sport's rich history in his first season. In September, the Southern 500 will open NASCAR's playoffs for the fourth straight season.

Kyle Larson was at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday to begin his immersion in the Arrow McLaren Racing program. It will help him prepare for next year's Indianapolis 500. The NASCAR superstar was accompanied by Jeff Gordon and several Hendrick Motorsports executives. The two-year Indy 500 deal with Larson and McLaren is backed by Hendrick Motorsports. Larson will also rac in NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway the same night. Five drivers have previously tried the double. Only Tony Stewart in 2001 was able to complete all 1,100 miles in the two races.

To mark NASCAR's 75th season, The Associated Press interviewed 12 key contributors to the industry on multiple topics. According to the survey, developing new stars and engaging a younger audience are among the biggest challenges facing NASCAR in the coming years. NASCAR viewership was down nearly 500,000 viewers during the six races Chase Elliott missed earlier this season with a broken leg.

Tony Stewart is embarking on his first season as a full-time NHRA driver. And he's all in. He will race a Top Alcohol dragster for McPhillips Racing when the season begins next week with the Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway. He says "I'm here" and adds "it's where my heart is." It's the latest and arguably most challenging lane change for a guy who's dedicated his life to motorsports.
