Right behind him is the last of the newly eliminated Playoff drivers, Michael McDowell. He starts in 23rd place, ahead of Ryan Preece, Chris Buescher, Daniel Suarez, Corey LaJoie, Cole Custer, Ryan Newman, and Garrett Smithley. While all that is going on, Josh Bilicki and Anthony Alfredo will line up in 31st and 32nd, respectively. They start ahead of Justin Haley, BJ McLeod, Cody Ware, Quin Houff, Joey Gase, and JJ Yeley. Ware makes a return to the NASCAR Cup Series after he was sidelined after Darlington. Apparently, he suffered from a mighty hit and had a nasty case of carbon monoxide poisoning. Luckily, the outfit gave him two days off to recover his full strength.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b> Alex Bowman and the 2023 playoffs</b></h2>
While Alex Bowman has been showing blistering performances in the Cup Series since his debut, 2023 proved to a bad year for him. The driver was, unfortunately, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-alex-bowman-confesses-career-shortening-consequences-of-his-back-breaking-injury-that-derailed-twenty-twenty-three-season/">a victim of a fractured vertebra after sprint car crash</a> in April that year. The incident occurred during a sprint car event at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, which ultimately saw him miss four races and the Cup Series playoffs. Notably, that was the first time that the driver missed the playoffs in his Hendrick Motorsports career.

Later, perhaps as a precautionary measure, the driver decided to put a pause on his Winged Sprint Car and Midget car racing for the <em>"foreseeable future"</em>.<em> â€œIâ€™ve missed, what, 10 Cup races in the last two years for injuries? For Ally and Hendrick Motorsports and Chevrolet and everybody that puts so much into the 48 program, I canâ€™t afford to miss more races. I need to be in the car every week. You look at what it did to us this year, we go from being extremely strong and up front in points every week to a really tough rest of the year. I donâ€™t need to do that again,"</em> Bowman had told Dave Moody on the SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, according to FloRacing.

After the new name and logo for the team was unveiled in November 2021 at the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/charlotte-motor-speedway/">Charlotte Motor Speedway</a>, the 2012 Cup Series Champion spoke of the rebrand in detail. He mentioned how the rebrandÂ <em>"is more than a fancy new logo".Â </em>
<p style="text-align: left"><em>"It's an acknowledgment to our heritage, a renewed commitment to our people and a stake in the ground that says we are here to operate top-tier race teams in the sport of NASCAR for decades to come,"</em> he added.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brad Keselowski NASCAR Career Stats</strong></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brad Keselowskiâ€™s Charity and Foundation</b></h2>
Brad Keselowski is the founder of the Brad Keselowski's Checkered Flag Foundation. The organization was founded in 2010 after the former Cup Series champion visited the Walter Reed Medical Center in 2009. He was inspired to give back to the brave women and men who served the country and were injured in the process. According to the website, the foundation has raised $3.8 million and helped out over 250 individuals and organizations. It's not only war veterans that the charity supports, but first responders and active military personnel as well.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brad Keselowski Controversies</b></h2>
He might be one of the most talented and consistent drivers in NASCAR but that does not mean that Brad Keselowski has not seen his fair share of troubles. One of the biggest penalties he has faced came in 2022 when the RFK Racing man was fined a whopping 100 points by NASCAR. After the Atlanta race that year, officials found a tail panel modification that was illegal and cost the veteran dearly.

Keselowski was on fire the season he won his first and only Cup Series championship. However, he was involved in a controversial decision by NASCAR which involved not bringing out the caution despite there being an accident on the track. The then-Penske Racing driver hit the wall late during the race but NASCAR surprised several fans and insiders by opting against bringing out the caution as Keselowski kept his car going.

<em>â€œObviously, weâ€™re monitoring that, the 6 is in the fence. Brad is listening through his spotter and race control that we needed the 6 to get down on the apron. Once he did that, it means heâ€™s kind of out of harmâ€™s way and heâ€™s driving around. If he comes to a complete stop down on the apron at that point, then weâ€™re going to have to go get him,â€Â </em>NASCAR official Elton Sawyer had said of the incident.

[caption id="attachment_553763" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-553763 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210216112231/GettyImages-156521363.jpg" alt="Brad Keselowski - NASCAR Cup Series" width="1920" height="1280" /> HOMESTEAD, FL - NOVEMBER 16: Brad Keselowski, driver of the #2 Miller Lite Dodge, stands in the garage during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 16, 2012 in Homestead, Florida.

The racing veteran provided a moment of comic relief in the 2023 Cup Series season at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona. The red flag had fallen and under those circumstances, the cars were meant to be stationary in the pits. However, the #6 was seen going around in circles. Confusion and humor gripped the others on track and the fans but it was later revealed that Keselowski's car had caught on fire and he had no choice but to do what he did to put it out.

The whole controversy surrounding the car inspections is also one of the infamous moments of Brad Keselowski's career. Both his and teammate Joey Logano's cars failed pre-race inspections as NASCAR found something wrong with their rear-end housings, and confiscated them. The Penske Racing cars still managed to finish in the top 10 but the penalties were then levied. The 2012 Cup Series champion was not a happy man at the time as he lashed out at NASCAR for being partial against his team.

<em>"Our guys are innovative and we're looking at the rules, looking at areas where we can get an edge like everybody else," </em>Keselowski had said at the time<em>. "I don't think there's anything we did wrong. It's obviously a judgment."</em>

Despite these incidents, Keselowski has managed to entertain fans outside of the racing world, by dabbling his foot into the entertainment industry.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brad Keselowski in Media</b></h2>
The former Cup Series champion made a cameo alongside Joey Logano in the movie 'Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!' He also joined several other NASCAR stars to appear in the 2017 movie 'Logan Lucky' and he has appeared several times on the sitcom 'Sullivan &amp; Son.'

In his NASCAR Cup Series career, the driver has an average start and an average finish of 12.8 and 14.09, respectively. Brad Keselowskiâ€™s Records Given how charismatic Keselowski is behind the wheel, it&#8217;s only natural that the driver has garnered quite some accolades in his career till now. After he clinched his sixth career win at the Alabama track of Talladega Superspeedway, the RFK team owner tied the iconic Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr for second-most wins of all time. Brad Keselowski Major Achievements and AwardsÂ Â  The RFK Racing driver and co-owner is one of the most experienced racers in the NASCAR Cup Series today. He has been competing in the series since 2008 and in that time, has won countless honors. He was the 2012 Cup Series champion and the 2010 Nationwide Series champion. He has won the Coca-Cola 600, Brickyard 400, and the Advance Auto Parts Clash one time each. When it comes to awards, Keselowski won the Nationwide Series Most Popular Driver award three times straight from 2008 to 2010. He has also been named in NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers list. Apart from that, the driver has shown his dominance by appearing in the Cup Series playoffs 12 times, 11 out of which have been in consecutive years. Keselowski&#8217;s career reached its peak with Roger Penske&#8216;s team but right now, the veteran racer is putting in the effort to take Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing to the heights it once achieved. After the 2012 Cup Series champion joined in 2022, there has been a visible improvement in the team&#8217;s performance. They finished the season with 3 wins in 2023, including a famous 1-2 victory at Daytona. The motorsports veteran is also the owner and founder of Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing. As per the official website, &#8220;Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing (KAM) is a vertically integrated simulation and engineering through serial production manufacturing company with Additive Manufacturing (LPBF-M) and CNC Capabilities.&#8221;Â  DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA &#8211; JANUARY 12: Brad Keselowski, driver of the #6 RFK Racing Ford looks on in the garage during the NASCAR Next Gen Test at Daytona International Speedway on January 12, 2022 in Daytona Beach, Florida. (Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images) Brad Keselowskiâ€™s Charity and Foundation Brad Keselowski is the founder of the Brad Keselowski&#8217;s Checkered Flag Foundation. The organization was founded in 2010 after the former Cup Series champion visited the Walter Reed Medical Center in 2009. He was inspired to give back to the brave women and men who served the country and were injured in the process. According to the website, the foundation has raised $3.8 million and helped out over 250 individuals and organizations. It&#8217;s not only war veterans that the charity supports, but first responders and active military personnel as well. Brad Keselowski Controversies He might be one of the most talented and consistent drivers in NASCAR but that does not mean that Brad Keselowski has not seen his fair share of troubles. One of the biggest penalties he has faced came in 2022 when the RFK Racing man was fined a whopping 100 points by NASCAR. After the Atlanta race that year, officials found a tail panel modification that was illegal and cost the veteran dearly. Keselowski was on fire the season he won his first and only Cup Series championship. However, he was involved in a controversial decision by NASCAR which involved not bringing out the caution despite there being an accident on the track. The then-Penske Racing driver hit the wall late during the race but NASCAR surprised several fans and insiders by opting against bringing out the caution as Keselowski kept his car going. â€œObviously, weâ€™re monitoring that, the 6 is in the fence. Brad is listening through his spotter and race control that we needed the 6 to get down on the apron. Once he did that, it means heâ€™s kind of out of harmâ€™s way and heâ€™s driving around. If he comes to a complete stop down on the apron at that point, then weâ€™re going to have to go get him,â€Â NASCAR official Elton Sawyer had said of the incident. HOMESTEAD, FL &#8211; NOVEMBER 16: Brad Keselowski, driver of the #2 Miller Lite Dodge, stands in the garage during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 16, 2012 in Homestead, Florida. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images) The racing veteran provided a moment of comic relief in the 2023 Cup Series season at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona. The red flag had fallen and under those circumstances, the cars were meant to be stationary in the pits. However, the #6 was seen going around in circles. Confusion and humor gripped the others on track and the fans but it was later revealed that Keselowski&#8217;s car had caught on fire and he had no choice but to do what he did to put it out. The whole controversy surrounding the car inspections is also one of the infamous moments of Brad Keselowski&#8217;s career. Both his and teammate Joey Logano&#8217;s cars failed pre-race inspections as NASCAR found something wrong with their rear-end housings, and confiscated them. The Penske Racing cars still managed to finish in the top 10 but the penalties were then levied. The 2012 Cup Series champion was not a happy man at the time as he lashed out at NASCAR for being partial against his team. &#8220;Our guys are innovative and we&#8217;re looking at the rules, looking at areas where we can get an edge like everybody else,&#8221; Keselowski had said at the time. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s anything we did wrong. It&#8217;s obviously a judgment.&#8221; Despite these incidents, Keselowski has managed to entertain fans outside of the racing world, by dabbling his foot into the entertainment industry. Brad Keselowski in Media The former Cup Series champion made a cameo alongside Joey Logano in the movie &#8216;Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!&#8217; He also joined several other NASCAR stars to appear in the 2017 movie &#8216;Logan Lucky&#8217; and he has appeared several times on the sitcom &#8216;Sullivan &amp; Son.&#8217; Brad Keselowski Social Media Accounts Brad Keselowski is fairly active on his social media handles, especially Twitter.

After a brief stint in the K &amp; N Pro Series, the driver finally made his debut in one of the top 3 factions of the stock car racing organization, the Craftsman Truck Series, in 2013. Driving for Hendrick Motorsports, the driver made his Truck debut at Martinsville Speedway where he finished P6. The following year, the driver, for the first time in his career, started his Xfinity Series career and made his well-deserved debut at the Daytona International Speedway and finished P15. But his true calling finally arrived in 2015 when he made participated in the NASCAR Cup Series. Barring his first year, the driver has participated in the division full-time since 2016. And boy did he show consistent results. While he finished tenth in standings in 2016, in the following year, he finished 5th. His most notable year came in 2020 when he clinched the Cup Series Championship for the first time in his career. Chase Elliottâ€™s partnerships and endorsements Ever since Chase Elliott entered into the Cup Series, the driver hasn&#8217;t had to worry about sponsorships and has had big names backing him. The National Automotive Parts Association(NAPA) was one of the very first to lend their support as they signed a three-year deal, to be a primary sponsor, with Elliott ahead of his 2016 full-time Cup debut. Later, in 2020, Hooters signed Chase Elliott as its brand ambassador in a multi-year deal for its Hooters Spirits line. The brand Elliott was a two-race primary sp0nsor in 2017 and one race in 2019. Additionally, they also appeared in three more races in 2022, including the World Wide Technology Raceway, and two NASCAR Cup Series playoff races at Bristol Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The brand is also set to appear in the 2024 season in three races. Coca-Cola also joined Chase Elliott&#8217;s team in 2023 as the official beverage partner. The brand appeared as an associate sponsor for the #9 team in select races, starting with the 2023 Daytona 500. Talking about the iconic partnership, Chris Bigda, director of sports marketing of the brand in North America, had said at the time, &#8220;Coca-Cola is proud to welcome Chase to its Coca-Cola Racing Family and launch its partnership with Hendrick Motorsports. Continuing to partner with the Elliott family is an honor and thrilling legacy, as Chase joins our Coca-Cola Racing Family 25 years after his father Bill Elliott was a founding member back in 1998. Weâ€™re excited for our future together and refreshing this championship team on and off the track.&#8221; Apart from that, UniFirst has also been a long-time primary partner of Chase Elliott, dating back to 2019. In 2024, the company will appear in five races, starting with Richmond Raceway. Its other appearances include Martinsville Speedway (April 7), Darlington Raceway (May 12), Kansas Speedway (Sep. 29), and the Charlotte Motor Speedway aka the Charlotte Roval (Oct 30). Chase Elliott&#8217;s NASCAR career stats With an average finish of 13.05, Chase Elliott has 18 victories in his Cup Series career, which includes 152 Top 10s and 12 pole positions. In his Xfinity career, the #9 HMS driver has finished P1 on five occasions besides clinching 67 Top 10s and two pole positions. As for NASCAR&#8217;s third faction, the Truck Series, the driver has three wins, 15 Top 10s, and three poles. Chase Elliottâ€™s records Chase Elliott has several memorable records to his name. At 22 years, 10 months, and nine days old, the driver became the youngest winner at Dover Motor Speedway in October 2018 after beating seasoned NASCAR veterans like Denny Hamlin (P2), Joey Logano (P3), Kurt Busch (P5) and the reigning Dover Motor Speedway winner from earlier that year, Kevin Harvick (P6). Another record that the driver succeeded in getting was when he won on the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway track in the Cup Series in 2018, thereby becoming the youngest winner. Apart from that, Chase Elliott is also the youngest winner at the Darlington Raceway in the Xfinity Series. Chase Elliottâ€™s major achievements and awardsÂ  After just four full-time seasons in NASCAR&#8217;s top division, Chase Elliott clinched the 2020 Cup Series Championship at 24 years, 11 months and 11 days old. He was the third youngest Cup champion in NASCAR history after beating Brad Keselowski(P2), Joey Logano(P3), and Denny Hamlin(P4) that year.

(Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images) Even off the racetrack, Chase Elliott has a variety of accolades to showcase. Following in his father Bill Elliott&#8217;s footsteps, the HMS driver continues to be the reigning Most Popular Driver Award winner with six consecutive wins. In 2016, he took home the Rookie of the Year honor in the Cup Series after securing 10 top-five and 17 top-10 finishes in 36 starts, including a pair of runner-up finishes, both at Michigan International Speedway. He also won two poles that year. Chase Elliott was also named as one of the 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023 on the stock car racing organization&#8217;s 75th Anniversary alongside Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and Kevin Harvick, among others. Â Chase Elliottâ€™s playoff heartbreak As a Cup Series driver, it is certainly not easy to keep up consistency. However, Chase Elliott seemed to be quite promising on that front with regular playoff appearances since his debut season. However, come 2023, an unfortunate injury took away his playoff chances. The driver was reportedly snowboarding in Colorado when he suffered from a fractured tibia in his left leg. Subsequently, he missed six races and had to be substituted by Josh Berry. Chase Elliott suspension 2023 wasn&#8217;t really Chase Elliott&#8217;s year. On top of missing multiple races in the Cup Series, the driver also faced a one-race suspension from NASCAR for intentionally wrecking Denny Hamlin during the Coca-Cola 600 in May. The incident occurred at the Charlotte Motor Speedway when the two drivers were driving side by side on Lap 186. After Hamlin squeezed Elliott into the wall, the #9 driver retaliated by hitting the rear of Hamlin&#8217;s No. 11 Toyota. Chase Elliott in popular media Chase Elliott&#8217;s rise to popularity has been palpable. After a blistering performance during his rookie season, Chase Elliott was honored as a cover star in his state Georgia&#8217;s official publication. He graced the August 2016 edition of Georgia Magazine in a story titled, &#8220;Like father, like son&#8221;. He was also the cover star for Athlon Sports in 2018 as &#8220;NASCAR&#8217;s next superstar&#8221; and again in 2020 in the NASCAR season preview edition. He was also featured on the cover of the video game NASCAR Heat 5 in 2020. Â The game was available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One devices, and PC via stream. Chase Elliott was one of the voices in the Cars 3 movie, that was released in 2017. He was one of the four next generation drivers and his character was named Chase Racelott.

There are different types of racers today in NASCAR but the silent assassin kind is hard to come by. However, Christopher Bell is someone who fits the bill.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Christopher Bell?</strong></h2>
Christopher Bell is a driver in the NASCAR Cup Series who races for Joe Gibbs Racing, Despite his babyface-like appearance, he is a veteran of the sport and is one of the best drivers in the competition today. His looks can be quite deceiving as he does not always come across as someone fiercely competitive but those who have raced with or against him know exactly just how good he is.

Bell has been unlucky though, as good a driver as he is. He has made it to the championship race in the Cup Series on a lot of occasions but something or the other has always ruined his chances of winning the big prize. Will 2024 be more of the same or will the 29-year-old finally have his moment in the sun?

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Christopher Bellâ€™s early life</strong></h2>
The Joe Gibbs Racing star hails from the city of Norman in Oklahoma. Unlike a lot of his contemporaries, Christopher Bell is not part of a racing family. He is one of 3 children born to David and Kathy Bell. He has two sisters - Kathyrn Bell Burton and Shannon Bell Lack. Information about the Cup Series racer's education has not been made available online but a report from The Oklahoman suggests that his father, David, was a coach at the Community Christian School in Norman when Christopher was a child.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Christopher Bellâ€™s wife and children</strong></h2>
The driver of the #20 tied the knot in 2020 with Morgan Kemenah. The timing of the wedding was quite interesting as it took place in February of that year, only a few weeks before that season's <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/daytona-500/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daytona 500</a>. Bell finished P21 in The Great American Race that year for Leavine Family Racing. The couple got engaged in 2018 after dating for four-and-a-half years. They might have gotten married 4 years ago but are yet to have any children.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Christopher Bell net worth 2024</strong></h2>
2024 will be the fourth year of Christopher Bell being a part of Joe Gibbs Racing. During this time, he has established himself as one of the best drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series and has even made the championship 4 on multiple occasions. It is no surprise that he has accumulated a significant amount of wealth in his career. According to several reports, the 29-year-old has a reported net worth of $5 million as of 2024. With more success in racing, this figure will certainly increase.

His biggest source of income is through his work as a race car driver and the sponsorships that come along with it. Apart from that, the JGR star is the owner of the sprint car team CB Industries which is in the USAC National Midget Series and other Micro Sprint events. Sponsorships play a big role in his income in that race team as well, as is the norm in motorsports.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Christopher Bellâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Being as talented a driver as he is, Christopher Bell has rarely had issues of late when it comes to attracting big sponsors. The fact that he is in a team as big as Joe Gibbs Racing certainly helps as well. One of his biggest sponsors has been DeWalt and they are back with the #20 team for the 2024 Cup Series season. As per a report in Frontstretch, the power tools company will be sponsoring the 29-year-old for 13 races this year. Last season, Bell's win in the Bristol dirt race came with the DeWalt logo on the hood.

Much like DeWalt, Rheem is also coming back to the #20 team in the 2024 Cup Series season to sponsor Christopher Bell. The new deal was announced in January of 2024 and like DeWalt, the water heater manufacturing company will be one of the main sponsors for the 29-year-old this season. As per a report in Jayski's Silly Season Site, Rheem will sponsor Bell for 14 races.

One of the biggest sponsorship deals that Toyota signed this season was the one with Mobil 1. The motor oil and lubricant company will be sponsoring drivers from each of the Toyota teams in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series for a total of 9 races. These drivers include Christopher Bell, Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace, and John Hunter Nemechek. This deal is particularly interesting as the company is sponsoring across teams in Toyota and it will be intriguing to see how things work out between the parties involved.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Christopher Bellâ€™s investments</strong></h2>
It is not just driving that Christopher Bell is interested in when it comes to motorsports (although that probably takes precedence over everything else). He is a full-blown owner of a sprint car racing team, a team that he even raced for in a competition like the World of Outlaws.

CB Industries (founded by Bell and Chad Boat), or CBI Racing used to race in the World of Outlaws with Bell behind the wheel of the #21. He won his first race in the event with his team in 2019 but 2 years later, the #21 had to be shelved as the JGR star wanted to focus on his goals in the Cup Series. They might not compete at that level anymore but the team is still very much active. CBI Racing takes part in the USAC National Midget Series and other Micro Sprint events as well with Chad Boat seemingly heading operations.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Christopher Bell's NASCAR career stats</strong></h2>
He might not have won a Cup Series championship yet in NASCAR but Christopher Bell has several race wins to his name that he can be quite proud of. In the NASCAR Cup Series, before the 2024 Daytona 500, Bell has taken part in 121 races and won 6. He has more than 60 top-10 finishes and 10 pole positions until the 2023 season.

In the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-xfinity-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xfinity Series</a>, the JGR star has 17 wins from 77 races, 49 top-10 finishes, and 12 pole positions. The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-truck-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truck Series</a> saw him win a championship and record 7 race wins, 42 top-10 finishes, and 6 pole positions. It is safe to say that wherever Christopher Bell has gone, he has performed quite well.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Christopher Bellâ€™s records</strong></h2>
His resume in the NASCAR Cup Series may not reflect the biggest race or championship wins but outside of that, Christopher Bell has a record any driver would be envious of. The former Truck Series champion is a 3-time winner of the Chili Bowl Nationals and he is only the third driver to do so. When he won the event for the first in 2017, he was the first Oklahoma native to achieve the feat since Andy Hillenburg in 1994.

In 2014, he turned a lot of heads in the sprint car racing community when he won a whopping 24 USAC Midget races. The JGR star also has victories at New Smyrna Speedway, South Alabama Speedway, and Southern National Motorsports Park as a Super Late Model racer.

Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Christopher Bellâ€™s major achievements and awards</strong></h2>
The aforementioned achievements are all quite impressive but Christopher Bell's greatest achievement so far in his career came in 2017 when he won the the NASCAR Truck Series championship. He was so good that year, racing for Kyle Busch Motorsports, that he even became the regular season champion. The then-KBM star won an incredible 5 races that season and finished P2 in the finale at Homestead-Miami to take the crown. The year before that, he narrowly missed out on the gold as he finished P3 in the championship. That form has often reared its head in the Cup Series but Bell is yet to convert it into a championship win.

Apart from that, Bell is a 3-time winner of the Turkey Night Grand Prix, the 2015 Eldora Mudsummer Classic Winner, and the 2013 USAC National Midget Series Champion. And of course, a 3-time Chili Bowl Nationals winner.

Mandatory Credit: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports Christopher Bellâ€™s records His resume in the NASCAR Cup Series may not reflect the biggest race or championship wins but outside of that, Christopher Bell has a record any driver would be envious of. The former Truck Series champion is a 3-time winner of the Chili Bowl Nationals and he is only the third driver to do so. When he won the event for the first in 2017, he was the first Oklahoma native to achieve the feat since Andy Hillenburg in 1994. In 2014, he turned a lot of heads in the sprint car racing community when he won a whopping 24 USAC Midget races. The JGR star also has victories at New Smyrna Speedway, South Alabama Speedway, and Southern National Motorsports Park as a Super Late Model racer.

Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports Christopher Bellâ€™s major achievements and awards The aforementioned achievements are all quite impressive but Christopher Bell&#8217;s greatest achievement so far in his career came in 2017 when he won the the NASCAR Truck Series championship. He was so good that year, racing for Kyle Busch Motorsports, that he even became the regular season champion. The then-KBM star won an incredible 5 races that season and finished P2 in the finale at Homestead-Miami to take the crown. The year before that, he narrowly missed out on the gold as he finished P3 in the championship. That form has often reared its head in the Cup Series but Bell is yet to convert it into a championship win. Apart from that, Bell is a 3-time winner of the Turkey Night Grand Prix, the 2015 Eldora Mudsummer Classic Winner, and the 2013 USAC National Midget Series Champion. And of course, a 3-time Chili Bowl Nationals winner.

Denny Hamlin

Denny Hamlin Net Worth 2024, Family, Controversies, and More Denny Hamlin is a stock car racing driver and team owner who has been competing in the NASCAR Cup Series for Joe Gibbs Racing since 2005.Â His first-ever race was at the Kansas Speedway, where he finished P32. The driver has amassed 51 wins in NASCAR&#8217;s top faction so far. One of his most notable achievements has been three Daytona 500 wins in 2016, 2019, and 2020. Hamlin was also named as one of NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023. Besides his racing stint, he has also been the team owner of Cup Series team 23XI Racing since 2020, alongside NBA legend Michael Jordan. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s family Denny Hamlin was born to Dennis Hamlin and Mary Lou Clark on November 18, 1980, at the St. Joseph&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Hospital in Tampa, Florida. He has two older siblings, Kevin and Lisa Hamlin.Â The family decided to move to Virginia when he was only 2 years old. He was educated at Manchester High School in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The family might not have been the most financially stable one, but Denny&#8217;s parents&#8217; struggles to get him going in motorsports have definitely paid dividends. At the age of seven, Denny Hamlin made his go-kart debut and went on to win his first race. Before Joe Gibbs Racing took notice of him in 2004, he made rapid progress at the local tracks in Richmond, Virginia, dominating the Late Model Stock Cars, Grand Stocks, and Mini Stocks. He was signed to a driver development contract by JGR in 2004, and he took part in five Truck Series races that year before appearing in the Cup as a part-time driver in 2005. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s wife and children The motorsports veteran has two daughters, Taylor James Hamlin (born January 20, 2013), and Molly Gold Hamlin (born August 15, 2017), with Jordan Fish. Denny and Jordan are not married, and over the years, they have shared a rather complex relationship. While the couple had broken up in 2021, there were rumors of reconciliation doing the rounds. The two were spotted together at the 2023 NASCAR Awards Banquet, and Hamlin even spent Jordan Fish&#8217;s birthday with her in 2023. The couple got engaged on January 1, 2024, after Denny Hamlin went down on one knee. 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Motorsport USA Cup Series Awards &#8211; Las Vegas Denny Hamlin, Jordan Fish arriving for the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Awards held at the Wynn Hotrel &amp; Casino, Las Vegas, November 29, 2018 PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xAJMx 39974306 | Credits: Imago Denny Hamlin&#8217;s net worth 2024 As he is one of the veterans in the Cup Series today driving for one of the biggest teams, Denny Hamlin is one of the highest-paid drivers in the competition today. He also makes a fair sum from being a co-owner of 23XI Racing and through his sponsorships. From his on-track and off-track successes, Hamlin has managed to build a net worth of approximately $65 million. Denny Hamlin has had FedEx as his primary sponsor since he started racing in the Cup Series. Joe Gibbs Racing was also able to bring in the big names like Coca-Cola and Mavis Tyres &amp; Brakes. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s career timeline NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Before Denny Hamlin made his debut in the NASCAR Cup Series, he was a regular face in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Making his debut at the TSport 200 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in 2004 for EJP Racing, the driver managed to finish P10. He competed in four more Truck Series races that same year but failed to clinch a Top-10. Hamlin ultimately finished the season with 582 points, ranked 37th. After skipping the promotion in 2005, he returned the following year with Morgan-Dollar Motorsports and competed in a single race at Martinsville Speedway where he finished P8. That was his only race with the team. Over the next four years, Hamlin continued participating in single races each season for Billy Ballew Motorsports. His highest finish with the team came in 2008 when he clinched P3 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. However, the highest finish of his Truck Series career would not come until 2011 when he clinched a victory at the United Rentals 200 at the Martinsville Speedway, for Kyle Busch Motorsports, a race which Hamlin won again the next year. After spending three seasons with KBM, the driver&#8217;s last Truck race came in 2013 when he competed in the 2013 Kroger 200 at Martinsville, finishing P6.

Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports ARCA Menards Series Denny Hamlin had a short stint at the ARCA Menards Series where he ran only one race each in 2004 and 2005. In his first year at ARCA, Hamlin was seen piloting the #10 Pontiac for Fast Track Racing Enterprises, at the General Tire 200 race at Talladega Superspeedway, where he finished third. However, 2005 didn&#8217;t prove to be a good year for him as the driver finished P36, driving a #2 Pontiac at the Nashville ARCA 150 at the Nashville Superspeedway for Joe Gibbs Racing. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s journey to the NASCAR Xfinity and Cup SeriesÂ  It&#8217;s like Denny Hamlin was announcing his arrival to the world in 2004 when he decided to compete in different promotions across the roster. Besides his Truck and Arca debut in 2004, the driver also participated in his first-ever Xfinity Series race for Joe Gibbs Racing that same year at the Darlington Raceway, finishing eighth. In an Xfinity career spanning 19 years, Hamlin has participated in 163 races and clinched a victory on 18 occasions. The driver also flaunts 101 Top-10 finishes in the promotion. However, Hamlin&#8217;s ultimate calling came in 2005 when he debuted in the NASCAR Cup Series for Joe Gibbs Racing. The driver has remained with the team for the entirety of his Cup career driving the #11. Revealing how the team became a stepping-stone for his illustrious career, Hamlin, in 2017, revealed Joe Gibbs&#8217; son J.D. Gibbs was the one who gave him his first opportunity at JGR. In an X(formerly Twitter) video, Denny Hamlin explained, &#8220;He&#8217;s the one who actually gave me my first opportunity with Joe Gibbs Racing. We went to a test at Hickory Motor Speedway, called his dad up, they signed me about 13 years ago.&#8221;Â  The driver has participated in 650 races in the Cup Series till date, where he has clinched 51 wins and 340 Top-10 positions. Apart from that, the driver also flaunts 40 pole positions. Denny Hamlinâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements Denny Hamlin has had a plethora of sponsorships over the years. Among the most notable is his long-standing relationship with FedEx which dates back to 2005 when he made his Cup Series debut. The conglomerate has served as the primary sponsor for the driver for over 30 races every year. However, in recent times, that number has come down significantly. The driver has also had a sponsorship with Coca-Cola and sported the brand on his car for the first time at the 2022 Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Hamlin&#8217;s other sponsors include Yahoo!, Shingrix, and Mavis Tyres &amp; Brakes, among others.

(Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images) Denny Hamlinâ€™s investments Denny Hamlin is not just a full-time driver in the Cup Series. He is the co-owner of 23XI Racing with NBA legend Michael Jordan. Jordan and Hamlin announced on September 21, 2020, that they would be forming a Cup team to start competing in 2021, with Jordan holding the majority ownership. The team currently fields two full-time drivers, Bubba Wallace in the #23 and Tyler Reddick in the #45. Bubba Wallace was the first driver they signed after buying a guaranteed starting spot in every 2021 race after purchasing a charter from Germain Racing. Hamlin and Wallace are two of the most outspoken individuals in the Cup Series, and even the people they work closely with aren&#8217;t afraid to speak up, making it a feisty combo. As a team owner, Hamlin is a fan of NASCAR&#8217;s charter system as he believes it to be a lifeline for owners. The team was later expanded to two drivers, and Tyler Reddick joined in. The name, 23XI, is an amalgamation of Jordan&#8217;s most-used jersey number (23) and the JGR car number which Hamlin drives (11). The team has a technical alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing. Denny Hamlinâ€™s NASCAR career stats Ever since Denny Hamlin&#8217;s debut in NASCAR in 2004, the driver has been a regular face in the circuit for around 18 years. While Hamlin started his Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series career in 2004, he was seen in a Cup race for the first time in 2005. Over his illustrious career, Denny Hamlin has participated in a staggering 650 races in the NASCAR Cup Series as of August 30, 2023. He has been to clinch victory on 51 occasions and also featured 340 times in the Top-10. Apart from that, Hamlin has also secured 40 pole positions during that time. As for his Xfinity series career, the driver has had 163 race features as of August 30, 2023. Emerging victorious in 18 races, Hamlin has been able to secure a pole position in 21 races with 101 Top-10s. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s Truck series career has been his least elaborate one among the Top 3 NASCAR promotions. The driver has participated in only 16 races over 9 years. With two wins and 10 Top-10s, the driver has secured a pole position only once. Â Denny Hamlin records With a career spanning almost two decades, Denny Hamlin has successfully proven his dominance in the sport. With 51 all-time wins as of December 2023, the driver sits at a comfortable 13th position just behind the Petty family patriarch, Lee Petty on the All-Time NASCAR Cup Series Wins List. Apart from that, the #11 JGR driver has taken a victory lap in the Daytona 500 race thrice in his career with two of those wins in successive years. Beating the likes of Martin Truex Jr, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, Hamlin&#8217;s first Daytona 500 win came in 2016. Subsequently, the driver went on to win the crown jewel race again in 2019 and 2020. However, those are not Denny Hamlin&#8217;s only crown-jewel race victories. The driver emerged victorious in the Cook Out Southern 500 race held at the iconic Darlington Raceway in 2010, 2017, and 2021. Apart from that, he also won the Coca-Cola 600 race in 2022, his first and only victory in the revered event. However, Hamlin has yet to secure his maiden Brickyard 400 victory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Denny Hamlin&#8217;s major achievements and awards Denny Hamlin, undoubtedly, forms the crÃ¨me de la crÃ¨me of stock car racing today. The veteran has several accolades to show for it as well. However, one of his most significant achievements came in 2023 when he was added to the list of NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers list. Making his place among icons like Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt, and Jeff Gordon, Hamlin has almost reached the pinnacle of his stock car racing career. Denny Hamlin also won the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Rookie of the Year award in 2006. With 330 points and two race wins, he beat Clint Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr who were second and third on the list with 271 and 243 points respectively. Also in the running that year were Reed Sorenson, JJ Yeley, and David Stremme, who secured 222, 213, and 192 points respectively. Denny Hamlin and his controversial &#8216;Family Guy&#8217; tweet Hamlin has often been surrounded with controversy but there have been moments when he has taken things a tad too far. One such moment was when he posted a Family Guy meme about Kyle Larson that was cause for outrage among a lot of people. The JGR man tweeted it after Larson&#8217;s ambitious move at Talladega in the 2022 Cup Series went wrong and he ended up wrecking. The video Hamlin posted was of an offensive Asian stereotype and given Kyle Larson was half-Japanese, very few people found it funny. Denny Hamlin eventually took down the tweet after a lot of backlash and apologized for his actions on social media.Â &#8220;I took down a post I made earlier today after reading some of the comments. It was a poor choice of memes and I saw how it was offensive. It came across totally wrong. I apologize,&#8221;Â he wrote. However, NASCAR still decided to send him to sensitivity training as a result. Denny Hamlin and his relationship with Kyle Busch Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin might have been teammates but the two were never really fond of one another. Both drivers were aggressive and outspoken and that often turned out to be a recipe for disaster. When they were at Joe Gibbs Racing, the two raced each other on track on multiple occasions and things did not always end up well. As Rowdy made the jump to Richard Childress Racing, neither of them had to pretend to be nice to the other in public since they weren&#8217;t teammates anymore. Early on in the 2023 season, Kyle Busch said that there was a lack of respect among drivers in the NASCAR garage, something that wasn&#8217;t the case back in the day. He did not take any names but the whole conversation was in light of Denny Hamlin intentionally wrecking Ross Chastain in the first Phoenix race of the year.Â &#8220;We have completely lost any sense of respect in the garage between the drivers at all. Thatâ€™s where the problem lies. Nobody gives two ***** about anybody else. Itâ€™s just a problem where everybody takes advantage of everybody as much as they can. Weâ€™re all selfish, granted. But there was an etiquette that once did live here,&#8221;Â he said. Kyle Busch did not leave Joe Gibbs Racing on the best of terms and while some may speculate that Denny Hamlin may have one of the reasons, there were a lot more pressing matters. Money and performance were certainly a lot higher on that list than a teammate.

Mandatory Credit: Mike Dinovo-USA TODAY Sports Denny Hamlin embraces his â€œvillainâ€ crown Denny Hamlin has been branded as the new villain of NASCAR and he has embraced that title with open arms. One of the people who he had some beef with in the 2023 season is Kyle Larson. The two raced hard in the final lap of the first Kansas race of the season for the lead. With just one turn remaining, Hamlin made slight contact with Larson which nudged him into the wall. Thankfully, the HMS man was able to maintain his composure but Hamlin had passed him for the lead by then and he won the race. The two drivers had a tense moment in Pocono, however. When the race restarted with less than 10 laps remaining. The two were battling for the lead and Hamlin pushed Larson up the track and into the wall. After the race, the HMS driver expressed his dissatisfaction with his JGR counterpart with a seething tirade. â€œIâ€™ve been cost a lot of good finishes by him throughout my career, and I know he says I race a certain way, but I donâ€™t think Iâ€™ve ever had to apologize to him about anything. So, not that Iâ€™m sure heâ€™s going to say sorry after this, but it is what it is,&#8221;Â he said. Turns out the HMS man was frustrated with both his racing and how Hamlin is on the Actions Detrimental podcast. Being booed everywhere he goes and branded as NASCAR&#8217;s villain may be unnerving to some people but Denny Hamlin has embraced the dark side.Â â€œI think there was a time to uh reel that back in but I just think that thereâ€™s no going back at this point,&#8221;Â he had said about the matter. Denny Hamlinâ€™s plans for retirement Denny Hamlin is 43-years-old in 2023. A lot of people may suggest retirement is on the horizon for the JGR man but given Hamlin&#8217;s attitude, he has shown zero signs of even thinking about hanging up his boots. The #11 driver signed a multi-year deal with Joe Gibbs which will start from the 2024 season. It is safe to say that NASCAR&#8217;s villain is here to stay for a few more years. After all, the hunger for winning the Cup Series is yet to be satisfied.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Joey Logano Controversies</strong></h2>
Joey Logano may give off the vibe of a fun-loving individual but he has had his fair share of altercations and they have been brutal. In 2010, the 2-time Cup Series champion was spun around on track in Pocono by Kevin Harvick, and he did not hold back afterward. He charged towards Harvick but was held back. In the post-race interview, Logano said, <em>"It's probably not his fault, you know. His wife wears the firesuit in his family, tells him what to do.â€</em>

He and Kyle Busch got into a huge brawl as well in 2017 after Logano spun the then-Joe Gibbs Racing driver in Vegas. Busch got his 'Rowdy' persona on as he went after Logano that day and it was an ugly scene. Things have calmed down between them now but the 2 former Cup Series champions do share the occasional banter at times.

Joey Logano even took a dig at fans earlier in 2023, calling them spoilt as NASCAR was one of the few sports where they could meet and interact with the drivers a little bit before the races.Â <em>"Our fans are spoiled! And I love our race fans, but think about other sports for a second? When are you going to meet an NFL player? Can you access an NFL player, anytime, like three hours before the game? NO!"</em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Joey Logano in Media</b></h2>
Joey Logano and Kyle Busch were the guest hosts of the October 26, 2009 episode of WWE's Monday Night RAW. The two were in the ring with pro-wrestling legends Big Show and Chris Jericho. The Team Penske star has appeared in various TV shows and movies as well like Logan Lucky, Sharknado 3, The Glades, Lab Rats, and Race For The Championship. He has also lent his voice to Milo Murphy's Law.

Joey Logano

Who is Joey Logano? Joey Logano has cemented his place as one of the greats in NASCAR with two Cup Series victories so far in his career. The Team Penske star most recently won his second Cup championship in 2022. Logano has taken part in more than 500 Cup races throughout his illustrious career and come out victorious on 32 occasions. Nick-named &#8216;Sliced Bread&#8217;, Logano was prolific in the NASCAR Xfinity Series as well, winning 30 out of 176 races. It&#8217;s safe to say that with such accolades to his name, the 33-year-old has managed to build himself a substantial reputation as a revered driver.

Mandatory Credit: John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports Joey Loganoâ€™s Early Life Joey Logano, the son of Deborah B. and Thomas J. Logano, was born in Middletown, Connecticut. Thomas, his father, is of Italian descent. In addition to racing, Joey played ice hockey as a youth. To advance his racing career, they eventually relocated to Georgia from their original home in Portland. Because of his early professional success as a racer, he was given the moniker &#8220;sliced bread&#8221; at the beginning of his career. He has a sister named Danielle Logano who is a professional figure skater. Joey&#8217;s parents encouraged him to pursue his interest in racing when he was in elementary school. Debbie, his mother, quickly concluded that the young racer needed homeschooling to continue his education. Logano&#8217;s home-based instruction allowed him the flexibility he needed to hone the abilities and discipline required to become a professional racer. Joey Loganoâ€™s Wife and Children Logano confirmed his engagement to Brittany Baca, his childhood sweetheart, on November 13, 2013. He revealed on Twitter, in 2014, that they would get married during the NASCAR off-season. The couple eventually tied the knot on December 13, 2014. In January 2018, they declared the birth of their first child, a son named Hudson Joseph Logano. Soon after on May 7, 2020, they welcomed their second son, Jameson Jett Logano. In February 2022, their first daughter and third child were born, who was named Emilia Love Logano.

(Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) Joey Loganoâ€™s Net Worth 2024 When it comes to net worth, it is safe to say that Joey Logano has done quite well for himself. According to Zac Johnson, the former Cup Series champion has a net worth of a whopping $44 million. It is no surprise considering the fact that he is one of the most successful drivers in one of the world&#8217;s biggest motorsports competitions. Annually, the Team Penske star makes about $9 million as per Rookie Road, making him one of the highest-paid drivers in NASCAR today. It&#8217;s not just racing that pays Logano&#8217;s bills. The 2022 Cup Series champion has several sponsorships and endorsements that go a long way in making him richer as well. There are some pretty big names supporting Logano which include the likes of Coca-Cola, Shell, Pennzoil, and Ford Performance to name a few. As per his official website, Sliced Bread has 19 sponsors. Joey Loganoâ€™s Career Timeline Joey Logano has been a racer ever since he was just six years old. Starting his motorsports journey with quarter-midget racing, the driver soon moved on to greener pastures. In his teenage racing career, Joey Logano competed in the FASCAR Pro Truck Series, USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series, NASCAR West Series, and the Arca Menards Series among others. Then, at the age of 18, Logano finally made his debut in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2008 and won his third race in the promotion at the Kentucky Speedway. He also made his Cup Series debut the same year racing in just five races, two of which saw him suffer a DNQ. Joey Logano finally made his full-time Cup Series debut in 2009 and finished 20th. However, his highest-ever finish came in 2018 and 2022 when he clinched the Cup series championship. Joey Loganoâ€™s Partnerships and Brand Endorsements Being the holder of so many impressive accolades, getting sponsors isn&#8217;t the hardest of jobs for Joey Logano. Recently, his team signed a multi-year deal with Hunt Brothers Pizza. It will see the leading convenience store pizza brand sponsor the illustrious Team Penske which won the last two NASCAR Cup Series championships. Logano and The Good Feet Store have also signed a contract recently. This company will leverage its connection with the two-time Cup Series winner to promote foot health. It manufactures and stores custom-fit arch supports for every foot and lifestyle. The driver of the #22 also has long-standing partnerships with some industry heavyweights Shell-Pennzoil and Coca-Cola.

(Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images) Â Joey Loganoâ€™s NASCAR Career Stats Joey Logano has had an abundance of victory lane visits throughout his career. In the Cup Series alone, the driver has seized 32 wins with 274 Top-10s and 28 pole positions. In the Xfinity series, the driver has shone bright with 30 wins, 143 Top-10s, and 36 pole wins. With 8,476 laps led across the three top divisions of NASCAR, the driver boasts an average finish of 13.99. His average start sits at 11.7. Now that&#8217;s what we can call a decorated career! Joey Loganoâ€™s Records Joey Logano&#8217;s talent behind the wheel has truly come off as unparalleled at times! Apart from a two-time sweep of the NASCAR Cup title, the driver has successfully showcased his dominance very often. In 2015, fans were left awestruck when the driver won all three races of the Round of 12 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway, and the Talladega Motor Speedway. But his list of records doesn&#8217;t end there. Joey Logano scripted history in 2016 when, two days before his 26th birthday, he won the highly revered All-Star Race beating the likes of iconic drivers that include Brad Keselowski (P2), Dale Earnhardt Jr (P3) and Tony Stewart (P20, DNF). Joey Loganoâ€™s Achievements and Accomplishments Despite not being one of the older drivers, Joey Logano has accomplishments anyone would be proud of. The Team Penske superstar is a 2-time winner of the NASCAR Cup Series and that&#8217;s just for starters. He became the youngest race winner in the Xfinity Series at 18 years and 21 days. He also became the youngest Cup Series race winner at 19 years and 35 days. Logano was the 2015 Daytona 500 winner, the 2016 All-Star race winner, the 2009 Cup Series Rookie of the Year and has also been named in NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers list. Joey Logano, along with Roger Penske, was also invited to the White House in 2019 by then-president Donald Trump. Logano had won the 2018 Cup Series championship just a few months earlier. Joey Loganoâ€™s Charity and Foundation Apart from being a racer, Joey Logano has a charity foundation that helps out children and young adults when life deals them a tough hand. The Joey Logano Foundation strives to encourage people to lead generous lives and makes investments in organizations that provide children and young adults in need with second chances. It has given more than $5,000,000 to organizations nationwide since 2013 to help children and young adults, particularly those residing in the foster care system, through trying moments in their lives. The foundation&#8217;s objectives are to use a platform like motorsports to raise awareness about children and young adults facing tough circumstances and to invest in programs that assist them. Joey Loganoâ€™s Fight with Auto-immune Disease Life has not always been fair to the 2-time Cup Series champion. Logano was diagnosed withÂ Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that targets hair follicles, in September 2019. Although there are no physical side effects or health hazards associated with the condition, Logano has frequently made jokes about the patches of baldness or thinning hair it causes. Following his second NASCAR Cup Series victory in December 2022, Logano finally received effective treatment.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Having been a Cup Series driver for over twenty years, Kevin Harvick has reportedly amassed an approximately $70 million net worth.

While the retired veteran has taken up new duties as a full-time FOX TV Analyst, his salary hasn't been disclosed.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Career TimelineÂ Â </b></h2>
Kevin Harvick's relation with the race-track dates back to his toddler days. Little Harvick was reportedly gifted a go-kart by his parents as a kindergarten graduation gift. And since that day, the racer hasn't had to look back. The driver soon started participating in go-karting events, and notably won two Grand National championships and seven national championships. However, Harvick didn't stop there as he began racing in late models on a part-time basis during his teenage days. And just three years later, in 1995, Harvick made his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-truck-series/">NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series</a> debut at Mesa Marin Raceway, where he finished P27.

Then in 1999, he made his Xfinity Series (then called the NASCAR Busch Series) debut at Rockingham Speedway. Unfortunately, due to an engine failure, the racer had to finish at a dismal P42, despite having started at P24.

Subsequently, Kevin Harvick was scheduled to make a full-time <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-cup-series/">Cup Series</a> in 2002 with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/richard-childress-racing/">Richard Childress Racing</a>. However, the Intimidator Dale Earnhardt's tragic death during the 2001 Daytona 500 changed all plans and Kevin Harvick had to fill in for Earnhardt for the rest of the season, starting with the Dura Lube 400 at Rockingham Speedway, where he finished P14. And 13 years later, Harvick finally won the Cup Series in 2014.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</strong></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvick and Dale EarnhardtÂ </b></h2>
Kevin Harvick's foray into the Cup Series will always be a part of the history books. Initially, after showing blistering performances in other NASCAR divisions, Harvick was roped in to make his Cup debut in 2002 on a full-time basis, for Richard Childress Racing. However, that plan didn't see the light of day as, in 2001, during the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt met his tragic end. Now, left with a vacant No. 29 Chevrolet, Richard Childress decided to field Harvick on an immediate basis that saw him compete the rest of the season, 35 races to be precise, in place of the Intimidator.

Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt shared a camaraderie like no other. Being a part of the same team back then saw the duo form a friendship where Dale Earnhardt reportedly also took up a mentorship role for Harvick, who was in his early 20s back then.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvick Controversies</b></h2>
While Kevin Harvick has made some memorable friendships in the circuit during his long career, feuds have also followed him on quite some occasions. One of the most memorable ones date back to 2014 when Kevin Harvick, despite not being involved in a fight directly, decided to stir the pot. The incident unfolded during the final playoff elimination round at the AAA Texas 500. Keselowski seemingly squeezed between the No. 48 of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jimmie-johnson/">Johnson</a> and the No. 24 of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jeff-gordon/">Gordon</a> in a bid to steal the win but instead bumped Gordon, which ended up spinning him to the back of the field and finish at a dismal P29.

Later, after the conclusion of the race, Gordon stormed over to pit road to confront <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/brad-keselowski/">Keselowski</a>, who didn't seem too interested in a feud. However, things took a turn when Kevin Harvick suddenly came up from behind Keselowski and pushed him toward Jeff Gordon. What followed was a massive fistfight. While Harvick, at the time, may have instigated the fight, he later expressed his regret for the shove.

https://twitter.com/NASCARONFOX/status/1190282849276104704

<em>â€œI know what I was thinking when I pushed him into the fight and then it caused the chaos. For me, my mind was, â€˜Man, we didnâ€™t win tonight. We need chaos'â€¦We needed the story to go elsewhere other than us and being out of contention. It did exactly what I wanted it to do, but itâ€™s not the best thing for your kids to find on YouTube, starting the fight,â€Â </em>Harvick had later shared on 'Stacking Pennies With Corey LaJoie'.

One other driver that the 2014 Cup Series Champion was seen locking horns with was <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joey-logano/">Joey Logano</a>. The duo was often seen racing hard against each other and even engaging in multiple run-ins. In 2010, at the Pocono Raceway, Harvick had nudged Logano from behind, which sent him spinning. And later, during a post-race interview, Logano didn't holf back from firing shots at both Harvick and his wife DeLana.<em> â€œI donâ€™t know what his deal is with me, but itâ€™s probably not his fault, you know, his wife wears the firesuit in the family and tells him what to do. I donâ€™t know what Iâ€™ve ever done to piss him off, but heâ€™s apparently stupid,â€</em> Logano had said. That's not the end of it, though. Again, in 2015, a similar incident took place, but this time it was Logano who nudged Harvick during the Sprint Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway.

While the feud seemed like it would have no end, the duo have let of the bad blood, and are even good friends today.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvick Retirement and Fox booth analyst</b></h2>
A saddening news hit the NASCAR circuit in January 2023, when Kevin Harvick announced that he would retire after the 2023 season.

<em>â€œThere is absolutely nothing else in the world that I enjoy doing more than going to the race track, and Iâ€™m genuinely looking forward to this season. But as Iâ€™ve gone through the years, I knew there would come a day where I had to make a decision. When would it be time to step away from the car? Iâ€™ve sought out people and picked their brains. When I asked them when they knew it was the right time, they said itâ€™ll just happen, and youâ€™ll realize thatâ€™s the right moment. Youâ€™ll make a plan and decide when itâ€™s your last year. Itâ€™s definitely been hard to understand when that right moment is because weâ€™ve been so fortunate to run well. But sometimes there are just other things going on that become more important and, for me, that time has come,â€</em> Harvick had said in an official press release.

And just a month later, it was announced that the veteran would be joining the FOX Sports Broadcast Booth for the Cup Series in 2024. He was roped in as a part of a three-member team alongside Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer.

Kevin Harvick

Kevin Harvick: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More Who is Kevin Harvick? Kevin Harvick is a stock car racing driver, who will perhaps always be known as the guy that succeeded Dale Earnhardt. However, he has made sure that&#8217;s not the only thing he&#8217;s known for after churning out more than two decades of what everybody will definitely call an iconic career. Aug 12, 2023; Speedway, Indiana, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver Kevin Harvick (4) during practice for the Verizon 200 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course. Mandatory Credit: Mike Dinovo-USA TODAY Sports Kevin Harvickâ€™s Early Life Kevin Harvick was born on December 8, 1975, to Mike Harvick and JoNell Harvick. He has a younger sister named Amber, who prefers to stay away from the limelight. Kevin Harvickâ€™s Wife and Children Talking about Kevin Harvick is incomplete without mentioning his partner in crime, DeLana Harvick. The couple first met in the year 2000, when DeLana was working in the Public Relations department for NASCAR driver, Randy LaJoie. The couple, smitten with each other, tied the knot just a year later, shortly after Harvick&#8217;s Cup Series debut and have been going strong since then. They have two children together, a son Keelan Paul Harvick, born on July 8, 2012, and a daughter Piper Harvick, his daughter, born on December 8, 2017. Source: Kevin Harvick&#8217;s Facbook Page Kevin Harvickâ€™s Net Worth 2024 Having been a Cup Series driver for over twenty years, Kevin Harvick has reportedly amassed an approximately $70 million net worth. He was reportedly being paid $10.9 million at Stewart-Haas Racing before he retired and was reportedly one of the highest paid drivers in his last full-time season in 2023. While the retired veteran has taken up new duties as a full-time FOX TV Analyst, his salary hasn&#8217;t been disclosed. Kevin Harvickâ€™s Career TimelineÂ Â  Kevin Harvick&#8217;s relation with the race-track dates back to his toddler days. Little Harvick was reportedly gifted a go-kart by his parents as a kindergarten graduation gift. And since that day, the racer hasn&#8217;t had to look back. The driver soon started participating in go-karting events, and notably won two Grand National championships and seven national championships. However, Harvick didn&#8217;t stop there as he began racing in late models on a part-time basis during his teenage days. And just three years later, in 1995, Harvick made his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at Mesa Marin Raceway, where he finished P27. Then in 1999, he made his Xfinity Series (then called the NASCAR Busch Series) debut at Rockingham Speedway. Unfortunately, due to an engine failure, the racer had to finish at a dismal P42, despite having started at P24. Subsequently, Kevin Harvick was scheduled to make a full-time Cup Series in 2002 with Richard Childress Racing. However, the Intimidator Dale Earnhardt&#8217;s tragic death during the 2001 Daytona 500 changed all plans and Kevin Harvick had to fill in for Earnhardt for the rest of the season, starting with the Dura Lube 400 at Rockingham Speedway, where he finished P14. And 13 years later, Harvick finally won the Cup Series in 2014. Kevin Harvickâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements According to Kevin Harvick&#8217;s official website, he is backed by brands like RealTree, Busch Beer, Hunt Brothers Pizza, Pristine Auction.com, Ezgo and Treetop. Kevin Harvickâ€™s NASCAR Stats In his elaborate Cup career, Kevin Harvick has clinched 60 wins, 444 Top-10s and 31 pole positions in 826 races. In the Xfinity Series, in 349 races, the driver has 47 wins, 261 Top-10s and 25 poles. As for NASCAR&#8217;s third division, the Craftsman Truck Series, Harvick has four pole positions, 62 top-10s and 14 wins in 124, to his name. Kevin Harvickâ€™s Major Achievements and Awards There&#8217;s hardly anything the driver has yet to clinch in his NASCAR career. From championship wins to iconic race wins, Harvick has it all! He won the 2014 Cup Series championship, besides being named as one of NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023. Apart from that, Harvick is also tops the list for wins at the Phoenix Raceway with nine victories. He is also the 2011 and 2013 Coca-Cola 600 winner, the 2007 NEXTEL All-Star Challenge winner, the 2009, 2010 and Â 2013 Sprint Unlimited winner, the 2014 and 2020 Cook Out Southern 500 winner and the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race winner, among others.

(Photo by Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images) Kevin Harvick and Dale EarnhardtÂ  Kevin Harvick&#8217;s foray into the Cup Series will always be a part of the history books. Initially, after showing blistering performances in other NASCAR divisions, Harvick was roped in to make his Cup debut in 2002 on a full-time basis, for Richard Childress Racing. However, that plan didn&#8217;t see the light of day as, in 2001, during the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt met his tragic end. Now, left with a vacant No. 29 Chevrolet, Richard Childress decided to field Harvick on an immediate basis that saw him compete the rest of the season, 35 races to be precise, in place of the Intimidator. Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt shared a camaraderie like no other. Being a part of the same team back then saw the duo form a friendship where Dale Earnhardt reportedly also took up a mentorship role for Harvick, who was in his early 20s back then. Kevin Harvick Controversies While Kevin Harvick has made some memorable friendships in the circuit during his long career, feuds have also followed him on quite some occasions. One of the most memorable ones date back to 2014 when Kevin Harvick, despite not being involved in a fight directly, decided to stir the pot. The incident unfolded during the final playoff elimination round at the AAA Texas 500. Keselowski seemingly squeezed between the No. 48 of Johnson and the No. 24 of Gordon in a bid to steal the win but instead bumped Gordon, which ended up spinning him to the back of the field and finish at a dismal P29. Later, after the conclusion of the race, Gordon stormed over to pit road to confront Keselowski, who didn&#8217;t seem too interested in a feud. However, things took a turn when Kevin Harvick suddenly came up from behind Keselowski and pushed him toward Jeff Gordon. What followed was a massive fistfight. While Harvick, at the time, may have instigated the fight, he later expressed his regret for the shove. https://twitter.com/NASCARONFOX/status/1190282849276104704 â€œI know what I was thinking when I pushed him into the fight and then it caused the chaos. For me, my mind was, â€˜Man, we didnâ€™t win tonight. We need chaos&#8217;â€¦We needed the story to go elsewhere other than us and being out of contention. It did exactly what I wanted it to do, but itâ€™s not the best thing for your kids to find on YouTube, starting the fight,â€Â Harvick had later shared on &#8216;Stacking Pennies With Corey LaJoie&#8217;. One other driver that the 2014 Cup Series Champion was seen locking horns with was Joey Logano. The duo was often seen racing hard against each other and even engaging in multiple run-ins. In 2010, at the Pocono Raceway, Harvick had nudged Logano from behind, which sent him spinning. And later, during a post-race interview, Logano didn&#8217;t holf back from firing shots at both Harvick and his wife DeLana. â€œI donâ€™t know what his deal is with me, but itâ€™s probably not his fault, you know, his wife wears the firesuit in the family and tells him what to do. I donâ€™t know what Iâ€™ve ever done to piss him off, but heâ€™s apparently stupid,â€ Logano had said. That&#8217;s not the end of it, though.

Kyle Busch

Who is Kyle Busch? If there was anyone to personify the word â€˜consistencyâ€™ in the present era of NASCAR, it would be Kyle Busch. When he first came into the Cup Series, Busch was arguably a brash and aggressive driver. He did not shy away from saying or doing what he felt like and that earned him the â€˜Rowdyâ€™ nickname. You can love it or hate it but his approach to racing led him to win 2 Cup Series championships. Now, he has toned down a lot but despite being one of the older drivers, the hunger is still very much alive. He currently drives the #8 car for Richard Childress Racing. TALLADEGA, ALABAMA &#8211; OCTOBER 02: Kyle Busch, driver of the #18 M&amp;M&#8217;s Toyota, walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on October 02, 2022 in Talladega, Alabama. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) Kyle Buschâ€™s family Rowdy was born on May 2, 1985, in Las Vegas, Nevada to Tom and Gaye Busch. His first motor racing experience came at the age of six with go-karts. Reports suggest that Kyle Busch was not tall enough to reach the throttle in his first race around the street near his home. His father controlled the pedal while Rowdy drove as per reports. Busch also worked in his familyâ€™s garage and worked as a crew chief for his only sibling (2004 Cup Series champion and 2017 Daytona 500 winner) Kurt Busch at the age of 10 in dwarf car racing. Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch | Credits: Imago Kyle Busch&#8217;s Wife and ChildrenÂ  Rowdy has been in a long and successful marriage to Samantha Busch for 14 years now. The couple got married on December 31, 2010. They met in 2007 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. At the time, Samantha was a student at Purdue University and apparently, Kyle was too shy to ask her out first time. Well, good that he mustered up the courage to eventually do so otherwise we wouldâ€™ve been robbed of one of the most wholesome NASCAR couples. Kyle and Samantha have two kids, Brexton Locke Busch and Lennix Key Busch. Brexton is the older of the two and is following his fatherâ€™s footsteps. In fact, he seems to have gotten Rowdyâ€™s talents as he has already made a big impact in the junior racing community. The couple love their kids to death but they faced a lot of issues while conceiving, especially with Lennix. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS &#8211; SEPTEMBER 11: Kyle Busch, driver of the #18 M&amp;M&#8217;s Toyota, spends time with his wife Samantha and daughter Lennix Key on the grid prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway on September 11, 2022 in Kansas City, Kansas. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) In 2018, Kyle and Samantha were supposed to welcome their second child to the world. At the time Brexton was just over 3 years old. However, their dreams were shattered and on November 30 of that year, Samantha shared the news of suffering a miscarriage. The couple had been struggling with infertility for the longest time and had turned to IVF to conceive. When it did not work out in 2018, they decided that a surrogate would be a better option. So, in 2022, when Lennix Key Busch was born, they were absolutely overjoyed. Kyle Busch Net Worth 2024Â  Throughout his career, Kyle Busch has earned several accolades. Winning championships and races come to him naturally. When one keeps on winning, they get richer and itâ€™s safe to say that Rowdy is one of the wealthiest drivers in NASCAR today. According to several sources, the 2-time Cup Series champion has an estimated net worth of a whopping $80 million. As per zacjohnson.com, Busch makes roughly $16-19 million annually. Being one of the most popular NASCAR drivers today, Rowdy has no trouble pulling sponsors. The former Cup Series champion recently extended deals with Cheddarâ€™s Scratch Kitchen and Lucas Oil. His current list of partners also include Lenovo, 3CHI, Alsco, Bet MGM, and more. Apart from racing, these partnerships are a big part of Rowdyâ€™s earnings. Him being a team owner for quite a long time also contributes to that. Kyle Busch Career Timeline Though Kyle Busch has been familiar with race tracks from the young age of six having driven in go-karts, the racer began his professional racing career after his 13th birthday, in 1998 with legends car racing. And in a short while, he made his presence known by racking up two track championships at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring short-track. Soon he moved to late model racing where he ten races during the 2001 season. And soon enough, NASCAR came calling. At the young age of 16, Busch made his Craftsman Truck Series debut at the Indianapolis Raceway Park for Roush Racing after replacing truck series driver Nathan Haseleu, and secured a P9. Not bad for a debut race! The driver made his full-time Cup Series debut in 2005 for Hendrick Motorsports and secured nine Top-5s, in addition to two victories at California Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway. Kyle Busch Partnerships and Endorsements While sponsorship woes might have marked an end to his time at Joe Gibbs Racing, his new team, Richard Childress Racing has backed him pretty well on that front. The No. 8 car of Kyle Busch enjoys an extended partnership with multiple brands like US restaurant chain brand Cheddar&#8217;s Scratch Kitchen, hemp-derived product manufacturer 3CHI, rental company Alsco, sports betting company BetMGM and consumer electronics company Lenovo. Apart from that Lucas Oil also signed as a multi-race primary sponsor, Rebel Bourbon came onboard as new anchor partner for the 2024 season, Zone Nicotine Pouches joined in alongside Global Industrial who will sponsor Busch for select races in 2024.

Mandatory Credit: Mike Dinovo-USA TODAY Sports Kyle Busch Investments Apart from being a motorsports athlete, Kyle Busch is an entrepreneur. There are several ventures that he has started or partnered with so far in his life, one of them being Rowdy Nation. Fans can get an official Kyle Busch fan membership and exclusive merchandise from the platform. He also got a return on his investment through one of his properties in 2023. Rowdy sold his North Carolina house. The home was 15,000 sq feet and was built on 1.4 acres of land near Lake Norman, with a side of the house facing the water body. It was listed for $13 Million and the real estate agent was Heather Gibbs, daughter-in-law of NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs and NASCAR racer Ty Gibbs&#8217; mother.Â  Kyle Busch NASCAR Career Stats To say that Kyle Busch has had an iconic career wouldn&#8217;t be an understatement. In his illustrious career, the driver has won 63 of 679 races in the NASCAR Cup Series. Apart from that, he also has 373 Top-10s and 33 poles. In NASCAR&#8217;s second tier division, the Xfinity Series, the driver has 102 victories from 366 races, along with 70 pole positions and 266 Top-10s. In the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Busch has 65 wins in 170 races, 138 Top-10s and 23 poles. In NASCAR&#8217;s top division, the driver has an average start and average finish of 12.2 and 13.81, respectively. Kyle Busch Records If you thought Kyle Busch&#8217;s list of accolades end here, you were sorely mistaken. The #8 driver is the first in NASCAR Cup Series history to win on every track competed. He was also the first driver to win one race in each of NASCAR&#8217;s three divisions in one weekend. Apart from that, the driver held on to his superiority by winning at least one race in the NASCAR Cup Series for 19 consecutive seasons. He also tops the list for the most wins in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with 64 victories to his name. His most recent win came in February 2024, when he won the Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Feb 16, 2022; Daytona, FL, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Busch (18) talks to the press during Daytona 500 media day at Daytona International Speedway. Mandatory Credit: John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports Kyle Busch Major Achievements and Awards Kyle Busch has won several honors in his career and it would take anyone far too long to list all of them. So here are some of his most notable ones. Rowdy is a 2-time Cup Series champion and a 1-time Xfinity Series champion. He has won the Brickyard 400 twice, the Southern 500 once, the Coca-Cola 600 once, and the All-Star race once. The NASCAR legend has made his mark in other competitions as well, winning the Snowball Derby on two different occasions. He also holds the record for the most wins by a driver in the Xfinity and Truck Series. Apart from that, he was also inducted into NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers list in 2023. Charity and Foundation Kyle Busch, along with his wife, chairs The Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy fund. According to its official website, â€œThe Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund is dedicated to advocating for infertility education and awareness and removing financial barriers by granting monetary awards to couples who require fertility treatments to have their own bundle of joy.â€ The statistics on the charityâ€™s website suggest that they have awarded 116 grants and generated $1,509,880. They have also facilitated the birth of 83 babies so far. Itâ€™s safe to say that the couple did not want anyone to suffer as much as they did in order to conceive and have helped several families as a result. Kyle Busch Motorsports Kyle Busch dabbled into the ownership line in NASCAR not too long after making his debut in the Cup Series. Kyle Busch Motorsports was founded in the year 2010 and they have been quite successful in the NASCAR Truck Series with two championships. The team had also won the ARCA East Series. KBM has been a venture that was close to Rowdyâ€™s heart but he took the tough decision to sell it in 2023, with Spire Motorsports being the buyer. Although the fee for the sale was not immediately made public, Charlotte Business Journal reported it to be close to $14.5 million. Kyle Busch and Alex Bowman rivalry Itâ€™s safe to say that Alex Bowman and Kyle Busch are not the best of friends. They have not always raced each other very clean and after one race, Rowdy lost his cool with the Hendrick Motorsports driver. It was the 2022 race in Las Vegas, and Busch was in prime position to win the Cup Series race. However, a late crash involving Erik Jones and Bubba Wallace brought out the caution with less than 2 laps to go. As a result, Alex Bowman was able to get on fresh tires and snatch the win away from the then-Joe Gibbs Racing driver. On the team radio after the race, Rowdy expressed his feelings towards Bowman and it was not pretty. â€œSame f****** guy who backs into every f****** win that he ever f****** gets, backs into another f****** win,â€ he said. Kyle Busch and Joey Logano rivalry Another driver that Kyle Busch might not have too great of a relationship with is Joey Logano. The two drivers are infamous for causing a bloody fistfight in Las Vegas in 2017. As the race progressed, Logano was racing quite hard and while in close quarters with Rowdy, he turned the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing car. What ensued on the pit road after this was chaos. Rowdy confronted Logano and threw a vicious punch that seemed to somewhat catch the driver of the #22.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Kyle Larson?</b></h2>
Kyle Miyata Larson is one of the most prolific and successful motorsports drivers in NASCAR today. The Hendrick Motorsports star is a former Cup Series champion and is one of the most consistent drivers in the Cup Series. However, stock car racing is not the only thing Larson is prolific in. He is a master sprint car racer and will be trying his hand at IndyCar in 2024. Larson is also the co-owner of the fast-rising sprint car racing competition, High Limit Racing.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Kyle Larson's early life</b></h2>
Kyle Larson was born on June 31, 1992, in Elk Grove, California. The HMS star was educated at Pleasant Grove High School in Elk Grove itself. Racing and school are difficult to balance but Larson had a lot of help from his mother who was a teacher. It's safe to say that the 2021 Cup Series champion was kind of an all-rounder when he was in school.

The HMS driver was born into a family of racers. His father, Mike Larson, was a racer as well. His mother, Janet Larson, is Japanese-American and both of his grandparents spent time in an internment camp during World War II. His middle name is Miyata which is a common surname in several regions in Japan. He has a sister whose name is Andrea.

Early on in his career in motorsports, Kyle Larson was a prolific dirt-track racer with several prestigious wins in the King's Royal, Knoxville Nationals, and the Chili Bowl Nationals. He also won the 2011 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway. This saw him win three types of USAC races at a go in a single night, becoming only the second driver to achieve so. The following year saw him earn six victories in USAC National Midget races, which included the Turkey Night Grand Prix.

His achievements caught the eye of the teams in NASCAR and Kyle Larson made his full-time debut in the 2013 Nationwide Series with Turner Scott Motorsports. He had run a few races in the Truck Series in 2012 with the same team.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larsonâ€™s wife and children</b></h2>
The Hendrick Motorsports star married Katelyn Sweet on September 26, 2018. The couple has 3 children together, Owen Miyata Larson, Audrey Layne Larson, and Cooper Donald Larson. Cooper is the youngest and was born on the last day of 2022. However, when it comes to Audrey, the family shares some bad news. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-same-quote-kyle-larsons-wife-reveals-daughter-suffers-from-the-same-horrific-disease-as-jada-pinkett-smith/">The parents revealed how their daughter has been impacted by Alopecia</a> since she was 18 months old, in honor of Alopecia Awareness Month. Since then, she has had hair loss, but they delayed going public with the news.

He also has several sponsorship deals with Target, Chevrolet, Oakley, Credit One Bank, iRacing, and Alpinestars.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larsonâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
Making his racing debut in outlaw karts at the age of seven, Kyle Larson has always been a talented multitasker trying his hands in various tourneys. Throughout his childho0d and adolescence, the driver started his professional racing career with open wheel-cars in the United States Auto Club (USAC) and the Silver Crown, among others. He also participated in the World of Outlaws and racked up his first win in the division at the Placerville Speedway, as one of the youngest drivers to ever compete. After winning Rookie of the Year in 2011, the racer then divulged his attention toward the NASCAR K &amp; N Pro Series and the ARCA Series.

In 2012, he was signed as a developmental driver for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. In June of the same year, Larson won his first NASCAR K &amp; N Pro Series East race at Gresham Motorsports Park. He also went on to win the 2012 NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series East Championship beating the likes of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/corey-lajoie/">Corey LaJoie</a>. On the other hand, his ARCA career took some time to take off as his first win in the division came two years after his debut, in 2014, at Pocono Raceway.

Larson's NASCAR Truck Series debut came in 2012 and he won his first race the next year, at Rockingham Speedway, driving for Turner Scott Motorsports. And it is around the same time that his Xfinity And <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-cup-series/">Cup Series</a> career took off as well. Debuting the top faction for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/chip-ganassi-racing/">Chip Ganassi Racing</a> in 2014, the driver finished 17th in the points standings in his first year. As for his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-xfinity-series/">Xfinity</a> Series career debut in 2013, the driver finished 8th in the final standings while driving for Turner Scott Motorsports.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larsonâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
One of Kyle Larson's earliest sponsor after he moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/hendrick-motorsports/">Hendrick Motorsports</a> from Chip Ganassi Racing in 2021 was HendrickCars.com. The Hendrick Automotive Group, via the HendrickCars.com brand, became a majority sponsor for the #5 driver for the 2022 and 2023 Cup Series seasons. Backing Larson for some 35 races in his NASCAR schedule, the brand also committed itself to sponsoring the racer in all non-NASCAR events.

As the division's first Japanese-American driver, Larson also paid an ode to his heritage when, in 2023, he landed an official restaurant partner in the form of JINYA Ramen Bar. In this extensive agreement, according to an official press release by Hendrick Motorsports, the brand was set to feature on the driver's post-race hat, firesuit and even his team apparel.

Expressing his excitement, JINYA Founder and CEO Tomo Takahashi said at the time, <em>"Not only is Kyle a NASCAR star because of his supreme talent on the track, but heâ€™s also the sportâ€™s first-ever Asian-American driver, so we are thrilled to partner with him. Kyle has already picked up two wins this season and we canâ€™t wait to see him make many more trips to victory lane while wearing the JINYA logo!"</em>

Additionally, ahead of the 2024 Cup season, automotive services and lubricant brand, Valvoline also announced its bid to back Kyle Larson along with his teammate William Byron. <em>â€œValvoline will be the primary sponsor for Kyle Larson in three races (Phoenix, Sonoma and the Chicago Street Race) for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season,â€Â </em>an official press release said.

In another exciting development, Kyle Larson is also set to drive for McLaren Racing for the 2024 Indianapolis 500 as he attempts the revered 'Double Duty' on May 26. Apart from that, tool manufacturer, Cincinnati Inc also joined hands with him ahead of his HMS debut.

One thing's for sure. The driver sure knows how to attract sponsors!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson's investments</b></h2>
Just like any other multi-talented personality, Kyle Larson has time and again shown how easy it is to dabble in multiple things at once. From competing to owning, the driver knows how to do it all. Merely at the age of 21, in 2013, Kyle Larson started exploring his entrepreneurial side which saw the formation of his sprint car and midget racing team, in association with fellow driver Justin Marks, named Larson Marks Racing. Primarily competing in the World of Outlaws, the team has had its highs and lows. The team had a fairly successful run with driver Shane Stewart who won at the team's second-ever start at the Eldora Speedway. Apart from that, the driver was also the 2015 Kings Royal victor at the Eldora Speedway yet again. Stewart was also won the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdow during the 2015-16 off-season, besides finish second in the WoO points standings in 2015.

But, things soon went downhill. While Kyle Larson taking over the sole ownership of the team in 2017 and renaming it Kyle Larson Racing seemed promising, the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be an adversity. In October of 2020, it was announced that the team would cease operations after the season was over.

While the closure might be disheartening, it didn't dampen his spirit. Soon after, in 2021, the driver announced the formation of a sprint car series, with his brother-in-law and five-time WoO champion Brad Sweet. The first season in 2023, saw 12 races. Kyle Larson won the inaugural season of the series. As for High Limit Racing's 2024 plans, the series has expanded the schedule to a staggering 60 races. It will also offer $5.8 million in prize money. Now that's what we can call an epic comeback!

The driver also boasts a total of 7,556 laps led in his NASCAR.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson'sÂ  major achievements and awards</b></h2>

The HMS star is the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion, the 2012 NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series East Champion, the 2010 King of the West Sprint Car Series Champion, the 2018 United Truck Parts International Midget Series Champion, the 2020 Pennsylvania Speedweek Champion, 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona Overall Winner, 2019, 2021, 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race Winner, 2021 Coca-Cola 600 Winner and countless more.

This year, too, he'll be looking to visit the podium as the series takes a new turn with charter introductions akin to NASCAR and schedule expansion.

The 31-year-old is also set to expand his racing horizon when he makes his IndyCar debut with Arrow McLaren in 2024 in the Indy 500 on May 26.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson's controversies</b></h2>
He may come across as a civil sportsperson today but Kyle Larson was the center of attention for all the wrong reasons back when he was racing for Chip Ganassi Racing in 2020. The now-Hendrick Motorsports driver uttered a racial slur during a video game stream in April that year. He was swiftly dropped from his team and he lost his sponsors. Before long, NASCAR suspended the driver. Larson was reinstated in October after which he joined HMS.

The 2021 Cup Series champion has had run-ins with the outspoken <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/denny-hamlin/">Denny Hamlin</a>. The two drivers had a moment in the 2023 Cup Series season in Kansas. Hamlin nudged Larson into the wall to take the victory of the race. The two drivers expressed their disappointment with one another and even the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/stewart-haas-racing/https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/joe-gibbs-racing/">Joe Gibbs Racing</a> driver's comments on the Actions Detrimental podcast frustrated his rival.

<em>â€œI donâ€™t think thereâ€™s a reason to be mad at him,â€</em> Larson had said on an episode of the High Limit Room podcast. <em>â€œWe were racing aggressively on the last lap for a win, and he was way faster than me. Just the only thing that I guess I get frustrated with is on his deal, his podcast, he says, â€˜I race a certain way, but Iâ€™ve never had to reach out to him to apologize about anything.'"</em>

From competing to owning, the driver knows how to do it all. Merely at the age of 21, in 2013, Kyle Larson started exploring his entrepreneurial side which saw the formation of his sprint car and midget racing team, in association with fellow driver Justin Marks, named Larson Marks Racing. Primarily competing in the World of Outlaws, the team has had its highs and lows. The team had a fairly successful run with driver Shane Stewart who won at the team&#8217;s second-ever start at the Eldora Speedway. Apart from that, the driver was also the 2015 Kings Royal victor at the Eldora Speedway yet again. Stewart was also won the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdow during the 2015-16 off-season, besides finish second in the WoO points standings in 2015. But, things soon went downhill. While Kyle Larson taking over the sole ownership of the team in 2017 and renaming it Kyle Larson Racing seemed promising, the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be an adversity. In October of 2020, it was announced that the team would cease operations after the season was over. While the closure might be disheartening, it didn&#8217;t dampen his spirit. Soon after, in 2021, the driver announced the formation of a sprint car series, with his brother-in-law and five-time WoO champion Brad Sweet. The first season in 2023, saw 12 races. Kyle Larson won the inaugural season of the series. As for High Limit Racing&#8217;s 2024 plans, the series has expanded the schedule to a staggering 60 races. It will also offer $5.8 million in prize money. Now that&#8217;s what we can call an epic comeback!

The driver boasts an average finish of 14.23 and an average start of 11.9. He has a total of 23 race wins in his Cup series career with 164 top 10s and 16 pole positions.

The driver also boasts a total of 7,556 laps led in his NASCAR. Kyle Larson&#8217;sÂ  major achievements and awards Kyle Larson, at his age, has already earned more accolades than several racing veterans and even legends of the sport. The HMS star is the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion, the 2012 NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series East Champion, the 2010 King of the West Sprint Car Series Champion, the 2018 United Truck Parts International Midget Series Champion, the 2020 Pennsylvania Speedweek Champion, 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona Overall Winner, 2019, 2021, 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race Winner, 2021 Coca-Cola 600 Winner and countless more. As for his sprint car racing career, the driver won the inaugural season of his High Limit Racing series, thereby cementing his place as a formidable racer. This year, too, he&#8217;ll be looking to visit the podium as the series takes a new turn with charter introductions akin to NASCAR and schedule expansion. The 31-year-old is also set to expand his racing horizon when he makes his IndyCar debut with Arrow McLaren in 2024 in the Indy 500 on May 26. The HMS did race go-karts when he was younger and that knowledge will come in handy. The race will be a part of the revered &#8216;Double Duty&#8217; attempt which him see him compete in the Indianapolis 500 and the almost 600 miles way Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Kyle Larson&#8217;s merchandise Being as popular as he is, Kyle Larson&#8217;s merchandise sells out like hotcakes. He has his own merch store online with several products embroidered with the KL logo. Caps, beanies, hoodies, t-shirts, and even gift cards are the products sold by the driver&#8217;s team on https://shopkylelarson.com/ Kyle Larson&#8217;s controversies He may come across as a civil sportsperson today but Kyle Larson was the center of attention for all the wrong reasons back when he was racing for Chip Ganassi Racing in 2020. The now-Hendrick Motorsports driver uttered a racial slur during a video game stream in April that year. He was swiftly dropped from his team and he lost his sponsors. Before long, NASCAR suspended the driver. Larson was reinstated in October after which he joined HMS. The 2021 Cup Series champion has had run-ins with the outspoken Denny Hamlin. The two drivers had a moment in the 2023 Cup Series season in Kansas. Hamlin nudged Larson into the wall to take the victory of the race. The two drivers expressed their disappointment with one another and even the Joe Gibbs Racing driver&#8217;s comments on the Actions Detrimental podcast frustrated his rival. â€œI donâ€™t think thereâ€™s a reason to be mad at him,â€ Larson had said on an episode of the High Limit Room podcast. â€œWe were racing aggressively on the last lap for a win, and he was way faster than me. Just the only thing that I guess I get frustrated with is on his deal, his podcast, he says, â€˜I race a certain way, but Iâ€™ve never had to reach out to him to apologize about anything.'&#8221; Sep 26, 2021; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin (11) driver Kyle Larson (5) and driver Kyle Busch (18) race for position during the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

<p class="gnt_ar_b_p"><em>â€œFrom the very minute of her diagnosis, Sherry was determined to not only fight ovarian cancer with everything she had, but also make a difference in the lives of others battling this terrible disease."</em></p>

Martin Truex Jr Foundation TheÂ Martin Truex Jr. foundationÂ (MTJF) was begun in 2007 by NASCAR driver Martin and, his partner, Sherry Pollex. The mission is to help campaigns for cancer awareness explicit to ovarian and childhood cancers. It helps the people and families influenced by them. As of now, the foundation has donated $1.2 million to build the Martin Truex Jr Foundation Children&#8217;s Emergency Department at Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center and the Sherry Strong Integrative Medicine Oncology Clinic at Novant Health Presbyterian Main in Charlotte, North Carolina. It has also donated $750,000 to Atrium Health, $4.5 million to Catwalk for a Cause and $130,000 to Karting for Cancer. Martin Truex Jr and the Demise of Sherry Pollex In September 2023, the NASCAR world was hit with the heartbreaking news of Truex Jr&#8217;s longtime partner Shelley Pollex&#8217;s passing after an almost decade-long battle with cancer. Later, the driver put out an official statement that read: â€œFrom the very minute of her diagnosis, Sherry was determined to not only fight ovarian cancer with everything she had, but also make a difference in the lives of others battling this terrible disease.&#8221; â€œSherryâ€™s passion for making a difference in the lives of others was inspiring to everyone.

Former NASCAR racer Danica Patrick shared her criticism about it on social media at the time and wrote, &#8220;I avoid negativity on social at almost all costs. Almostâ€¦But this the most insensitive disconnected statement from a guy that I have never liked. And obviously for good reason. I donâ€™t care what happened between them but this is as cold as it gets. A PR rep wrote this guaranteed. Youâ€™re free from this now sherry.â€ Later, at Texas Motor Speedway, NASCAR drivers were seeing paying their respects to Pollex by carrying decals, featuring ribbons that read, &#8220;Sherry Pollex&#8230; In Memory 1979-2023&#8221;.Â  https://twitter.com/NASCAR/status/1705621065899049322 Martin Truex Jr and Retirement Being a 43-year-old driver racing at high speeds can definitely be physically taxing. Perhaps that explains why Martin Truex Jr has been mulling retirement over the past few years. The first time when the news surfaced was in 2022. While the driver admitted that he was actually considering retirement, he officially announced his return to the Cup Series next year. â€œI will be back in the 19 next year. At the end of the day, this is really what I want to do right now,â€ Truex Jr has informed at the time. The driver also returned to the 2024 as a full-time driver. However, when we come to his actual retirement plans, the driver is not yet sure what he&#8217;s going to do. During a pre-race Daytona 500 presser, when asked if he was going to extend his career, Truex Jr answered, â€œYeah, probably. I have no idea what Iâ€™m doing next year.â€ Martin Truex Jr Social Media  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MartinTruexJr/  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/martintruex_jr/  Twitter https://twitter.com/MartinTruex_Jr  &nbsp;  Full Name Martin Lee Truex Jr  Popular Name Martin Truex Jr  Birthdate June 29, 1980  Birthplace Mayetta, New Jersey  AgeÂ  43 years (as of March 2024)  HeightÂ  1.8 m  Weight 180 lbs  Parents Martin Truex Sr, Linda Truex  Siblings Ryan Truex  NationalityÂ  American  Ethnicity Caucasian  Salary Approx. $10.4 million  Net Worth Approx. $40 million  Relationship/ Marital Status Single  Spouse Â &#8211;  Children Â &#8211;  Profession Stock car racing driver  Team Joe Gibbs Racing  &nbsp;

Ryan Blaney

Who is Ryan Blaney? Ryan Blaney is a driver in the NASCAR Cup Series who pulled off an unforeseen feat when he won the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series. After making it to six consecutive playoffs, the Team Penske driver made it count on the seventh occasion. Having competed in over 300 Cup Series races, Blaney currently possesses 10 wins and most importantly, a championship to his name. The 30-year-old driver&#8217;s talent lies not only on the track but also off it. Alongside his impressive racing career, the #12 driver has starred in several movies and TV shows. Not only has that boosted his net worth but has also helped him increase his fanbase. Ryan Blaneyâ€™s Early Life Ryan Blaney was born on the last day of 1993 in Hartford Township, Trumbull County, Ohio. He is of Irish descent and a third-generation race car driver. Interestingly, his father, Dave Blaney, used to race in NASCAR competitions while his grandfather, Lou Blaney was a modified dirt track racer.

Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports Safe to say, racing has always been in Blaneyâ€™s blood. However, he would take immense pride in realizing that he has been the most successful racer in his family. Having started his racing career at the age of nine, he began with quarter midget racing. While racing has been an eye-catching prospect for Blaney, the same can be even said for his siblings. Ryan Blaneyâ€™s Wife and Children Dave Blaney and his wife Lisa have three children. Ryan Blaney is the middle child and only son of his parents. His elder sister Emma is married to driver Cale Conley. On the other hand, his younger sister Erin is currently dating Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron. While it is a tricky situation for Erin with both Blaney and Byron being in the Cup Series, both drivers have handled it quite well. As far as Ryan Blaney&#8217;s dating life is concerned, he has been in a long and loving relationship with Hooters model and executive Gianna Tulio.       View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Ryan Blaney (@ryanblaney10)  The couple made their relationship public when they went together on a vacation to Vail, Colorado. Gianna can often be seen at race tracks supporting her man as she was right there when Blaney registered his 2023 Cup Series championship victory. Shortly after winning the title, Blaney popped the million-dollar question to his girlfriend, and the two got engaged on December 12, 2023. Hopefully, the wedding bells arenâ€™t far away either. Ryan Blaneyâ€™s Net Worth Ryan Blaney perhaps is one of the highest-paid drivers in NASCAR today, especially given his last yearâ€™s heroics. As per Equity Atlas, his net worth is $12 million. This is projected to reach an impressive $20 million by the end of 2024. It is likely given the progress Blaney has been making in the past few years. The #12 driver signed a contract extension with Team Penske in 2022 but there is no solid information yet regarding his annual salary as per his current contract. Given that he has starred in several movies and shows, it has only helped boost his total net worth in recent years. Ryan Blaneyâ€™s Career Timeline Ryan Blaney started his racing career at a very young age and looked impressive. At the age of 12, he won the Loweâ€™s Motor Speedway Young Lions Winter Heat Point Championship. He made his debut in the ARCA Racing Series and the NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series West and East in 2011. His driving skills saw him earn praise from Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick in his early days in NASCAR. In fact, in 2012, he earned his debut in the Truck Series. His win at Iowa Speedway in September 2012 made him the youngest winner in the Truck Series then. WHOâ€™S WON HERE? @Blaney has! In 2012, Blaney earned his first career @NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win at Iowa! He returned in 2015 and DOMINATED the Xfinity Series race! Congrats to the champ, and we look forward to having you back! pic.twitter.com/bpMZdv6b6u â€” Iowa Speedway (@iowaspeedway) November 10, 2023 Two years later, he made his NASCAR Cup Series debut. Eventually, in 2016, he completed his first full-time season. From 2018, Blaney has been associated with Team Penske. With them, it has only taken his performance to the next level. Â His championship victory last season is a testament to his hard work and never-give-up attitude. No wonder, sponsors are very keen on being associated with Blaney. Ryan Blaney Endorsements As far as sponsorships go, the 2023 Cup Series champion has those in abundance. As per the Team Penske website, the driver&#8217;s primary sponsors are Menards, Discount Tire, BODYARMOR, DEX Imaging, Advance Auto Parts, WURTH, Wabash, Range Leather, Black Buffalo, Dent Wizard, Flag &amp; Anthem and Pennzoil. Speaking about his primary sponsor Menards last year, Ryan Blaney couldnâ€™t be more happy with them. As reported by Forbes, he said, â€œIâ€™ve been lucky to have the Menards partnership and Advance Auto Parts and Ford. Everybody has been amazing. On the Menards side, theyâ€™re been part of motorsports for a long time and John Menard is a huge race fan. He loves everything about racing. I love those guys up there.â€ Ryan Blaneyâ€™s NASCAR Career Stats To date, Ryan Blaney has been a strong force in the Cup Series. He has 10 victories to his name in over 300 race appearances. In fact, in his eight full-time seasons, only once has he missed out on making it to the playoffs. So far, he has 69 top-five and 131 top-ten finishes, showcasing his amazing consistency. Even his Xfinity Series record looks impressive with seven wins in 70 races. With the age very much on his side, it is interesting to see the number of records Blaney breaks in the coming years. Ryan Blaney NASCAR Records From a young age, Ryan Blaney has adopted the habit of breaking records. His win in the Truck Series at Iowa Speedway came at 18 years, eight months, and 15 days, making him the youngest driver then to do so. With four wins in the Truck Series, seven wins in the Xfinity Series, and 10 wins in the Cup Series, Ryan Blaney is one of only 40 drivers to win in all three series. It is a massive record considering the sport has been 75 years old now. Ryan Blaneyâ€™s Achievements and Awards Ryan Blaney has making a lot of noise with his performances ever since he entered NASCAR. During his debut season in the NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series at Phoenix, he registered his first in just his third race. His 2014 Truck Series campaign was a memorable one as he won once, finished in the top five 12 times, and 17 times in the top ten. In fact, he also went on to win the Most Popular Driver Award in the Truck Series that year. His second full-time Cup Series season with Wood Brothers Racing gave the team their best finish since 1995. That very season, Blaney finished ninth with one win, four top-five, and 14 top-ten finishes. In the same year, he helped Team Penske earn their fourth Xfinity Series Owners Championship win. RYAN BLANEY BY INCHES. WHAT A FINISH. TALLADEGA, EVERYONE. pic.twitter.com/3HPeOvSm8X â€” FOX: NASCAR (@NASCARONFOX) October 1, 2023 Blaneyâ€™s an expert when it comes to racing at Talladega Superspeedway. His victory at the track in June 2020 made him the first driver to win back-to-back races at the track since 2007. In 2021, for the first time in his Cup Series career, he finished the season with more than one win, one of which again included a win at Talladega. The following year, Blaney made a sensational run at Texas Motor Speedway to win his first-ever NASCAR All-Star race, winning the $1 million prize. Last season, he once again recorded a win at Talladega and eventually ended up winning the championship title. This helped Team Penske earn their 44th national championship. Ryan Blaney Charity and Foundations In 2009, the Blaney family was dealt a heartbreaking loss when Lou Blaney passed away at the age of just 69 due to Alzheimer&#8217;s. As a result, the family started a charitable foundation to raise awareness about brain health and support people struggling with Alzheimer&#8217;s or concussion-related injuries. The charity is based in North Carolina and is called Ryan Blaney Foundation. The 2023 Cup Series champion was close to his grandfather and his loss impacted him in a big way. A statement on the charity website read, &#8220;We lost our father and grandfather, Lou Blaney, to Alzheimerâ€™s disease when he was just 69 years old. It is a horribly difficult disease for both the person and family it affects.&#8221; Further, it read, &#8220;When we felt lost and did not know where to get the answers we needed, it was our local chapter of the Alzheimerâ€™s Association that provided us not only with accurate and useful information, but with compassionate support for the whole family.&#8221; The Ryan Blaney Foundation raises money primarily through donations. The organization offers help offering important resources and information to raise awareness about the respective diseases. They have online and in-person support groups and a 24/7 hotline. The organization also helps in the research aspect towards finding a cure for Alzheimer&#8217;s and they have a close relationship with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Sports Medicine Concussion Clinic. Ryan Blaney in Media It is a shame that Ryan Blaney has not appeared in any Star Wars movies or TV series but there&#8217;s other stuff he has done in cinema. He voiced the character Ryan &#8216;Inside&#8217; Laney in Cars 3 alongside several other NASCAR stars like Bubba Wallace, Chase Elliott, and Jeff Gordon to name a few. The Team Penske star also made an appearance in the 2017 film &#8220;Logan Lucky&#8221;. He has also played Special Agent Nathan Wood in the TV series &#8220;Taken&#8221; in 2018. The 2023 Cup Series champion is technically a Netflix star with a cameo appearance in Netflix&#8217;s television series The Crew. He was also a podcaster with Kim Coon and Chuck Bush. The 3 started the Glass Case of Emotion podcast in 2017 which saw its final episode after Blaney won the Cup Series in 2023. Ryan Blaney has also had a stint as a media executive with Fox. He joined as a pit reporter with Erik Jones and Ricky Stenhouse Jr in the Xfinity Series in 2017. He also interviewed Brad Keselowski once after the former Cup Series champion won a race at Pocono. It could be an interesting career choice for Blaney after he retires from the sport.

However, his real journey with stock cars started in 2012 when Byron's father started exploring how his son could turn into a real-life racer. At 15, he started racing Legends and even clinched the Legend Car Young Lions Division championship with 33 wins during that season. Then, two years later, in 2014 he was noticed by JR Motorsports and eventually signed by them to race in the team'sÂ  late model program. Later, he also had a short stint in the K&amp;N Pro Series where he won a championship as well.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>William Byron and the #24 Chevrolet</b></h2>
If you ask any NASCAR fan what the No.24 Hendrick Motorsports car means to them, they'd probably tell you all about its legacy involving HMS' current vice-chairman and former NASCAR driver, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jeff-gordon/">Jeff Gordon</a>. The Hall of Famer spent 23 years of his 24 year-long NASCAR Cup career behind the #24 and built an iconic legacy behind it. So, naturally, whichever driver got their hands on the iconic number was an achievement in itself. After Jeff Gordon's retirement, Chase Elliott got to drive the #24 from 2016 to 2017. However, the onus finally fell on William Byron to carry the legacy of the number forward.

Since debuting full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, William Byron has been driving the #24. The driver even managed to rack up an iconic 100th victory for the car number with his win at the Darlington Raceway in May, 2023.

Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports William Byron and the #24 Chevrolet If you ask any NASCAR fan what the No.24 Hendrick Motorsports car means to them, they&#8217;d probably tell you all about its legacy involving HMS&#8217; current vice-chairman and former NASCAR driver, Jeff Gordon. The Hall of Famer spent 23 years of his 24 year-long NASCAR Cup career behind the #24 and built an iconic legacy behind it. So, naturally, whichever driver got their hands on the iconic number was an achievement in itself. After Jeff Gordon&#8217;s retirement, Chase Elliott got to drive the #24 from 2016 to 2017. However, the onus finally fell on William Byron to carry the legacy of the number forward. Since debuting full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, William Byron has been driving the #24. The driver even managed to rack up an iconic 100th victory for the car number with his win at the Darlington Raceway in May, 2023.
