-After weeks of speculation, Daniel Suarez was finally announced as the new driver of the No. 41 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series on Monday.

-Over the past couple of weeks, two high profile teams have announced their exit from the NASCAR Xfinity Series, as both Chip Ganassi Racing and Roush Fenway Motorsports shuttered their NXS operations.

Ross Chastain landed a full ride in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in Chip Ganassi Racing's No. 42 after winning at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but saw that ride go away when the team announced it was shutting down due to a lack of sponsorship.

The current management of Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville and Bristol Motor Speedway are teaming up to explore the possibility of bringing NASCAR racing back to the historic Tennessee raceway.
