2022 is our 30th Anniversary Season on the air!
NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series:
Last Race: Playoff Round of 12 Opener: Sunday September 25th, Texas Motor Speedway, Fort Worth: First race in their playoff round of 12. Tyler Reddick's playoff ended in a crash a week ago at Bristol, but that didn’t stop him from playing the spoiler, winning an eventful, dramatic race that saw a track record 16 cautions, a rash of tire failures, this one well over 5 hours to complete! Reddick's 3rd victory of the season, and it continues a streak of now 4-straight non-playoff drivers winning playoff races. Top contender finishers: Joey Logano 2nd, Ryan Blaney 4th.
Active in the Round of 12: Elliott, Logano, Chastain, Larson, Byron, Hamlin, Bell, Blaney, Briscoe, Bowman, Suarez and Cindric.
Next Race: Race # 2 in the Round of 12: Sunday October 2nd, Talladega Alabama.

Formula One World Driving Championship: Idle!
Next Grand Prix: Sunday October 2nd: The Grand Prix of Singapore.
Last Race: Sunday September 11th: The Italian Grand Prix Monza: it finished behind the safety car, but make it 5 wins in a row for Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, his 11th win this season, fighting back to the front after an engine change grid penalty started him 7th. He was easily the fastest car all weekend regardless of how it ended. Home land hero Charles LeClerc was 2nd, his Ferrari just couldn’t match Max’s pace after the team gambled away his early lead off the pole with a 2-stop strategy. George Russell 3rd in the Mercedes completing the podium. The finish at Monza followed the rules. Had there been enough laps, the back-markers would have been allowed to overtake the Safety Car and catch up to the back of the train. A re-start would have then occurred at the end of the following lap. So there!
ET: The Canadians: Nick Latifi 15th. Lance Stroll: a DNF with brake issues.
F-1 Points into Singapore: October 2nd: Verstappen’s Driver’s lead on LeClerc is 116. If Max wins Singapore, he clinches his 2nd-straight title LeClerc and Perez don’t score high. In Constructors: Red Bull leads Ferrari by 139. The gap in the schedule created when they scrubbed Sochi Russia on the 25th with Russia warring against Ukraine.
