The 2025 Nascar playoffs have arrived. Last week, it all came down to one final hurrah for over two thirds of the Cup series field. With one last chance to lock in a playoff position with a win at Daytona, many teams laid it all out on the line. But ultimately, Ryan Blaney would have the last word.

The mid summer swing of late season sponsors is also continuing this week with a couple of new Mustangs.
