NASCAR Radioactive | 2026 North Wilkesboro Speedway

Time, this time. Side, inside. Oh! Big stack-up. Should have waited to lap Alex. That's my fault. Just so you know, it's a bad idea to pit from the top. Winners are underneath you. Well, I don't ****ing need that. The energy in this place is just amazing. It's electric. Put on a show. Have a great night. Kick their ass. I think we've got a good race car here. Let's capitalize on the opportunity. Let's hold out a crowd here. Let's put on a show for them. It's time to go racing at North Wilkesboro. You can leave, one and a half. Ah, plowed by space off. 12, Ryan Blaney had the pull for the metric. Gave it up because of the steering change area. It's mired back in tact. We're just looking. Nowhere to go. Just the ***ing hornet's nest back here, but I'm not great by any means. Maybe it gets better. Hang on to it. Hang on. Tight right here through the center. No front turn. Just terrible. It's all about focusing. Focus here, make our adjustments here, we'll get it right. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Watch this. Oh, man, that's a hard one. We were ahead of them. I thought we would have had right away, so let me know if you're steering wheels are OK. I think I'm OK. If anything, it might be a little left. We're going to pit this time. Our wheel is broken. Our wheel is broken, so we're going to put four on it. The left front fender's got a little damage. I don't think it's going to do anything to hinder you. Yeah, I told him I'd pit. Sorry, I had no idea. SVG to the inside. Denny on the older tires. Muscle up from New Zealand, 97. How about that? Gibbs is going to get there. Will SVG alter his line at all? Can Gibbs get there side-by-side for the lead? Ty Gibbs gets the jump. They got us too fast. Section 7. This is the backstretch of shame right here. The 97, look at the front windshield on that thing. It's as if they tried to get the tear-off and didn't get it. The tear-off, I know it's not ideal. Hopefully, it'll blow off. Yeah, the bubbles are real bad. It's real distorted right in front of me. Go there, Jor. I don't know if they have many racetracks like Wilkesboro down under, but Shane Van Gisbergen likes it in Wilkes County. Clear high, clear, clear, clear. It feels like it's driving like it did. We're on one now, as it matters. Everything's low as f***. The car just sucks, man. Like, how do I get the thing to turn up here? That was too low. Oh, man, I'm trying to get the f***ing thing to turn. Corner. How's that? That's really mean here, Brennan. Just a little bit mean. That was f***ing mean. Oh, man. Man. Wow. Brennan's broke. Steering's broke. Big stack-up. Looks like cars are maybe trying to come to pit road. Rolling, rolling, rolling. In the right front, Billy. 48. Off her nose. Should've waited a lap, Alex. That's my fault. Steering is 1 o'clock. Full hour off. 48 for what it's worth. Good save. Yeah. Copy. Doesn't change much. Just so you know, it's a bad idea to pit from the top. Winner's car underneath you. My dumb s*** did that. One of the ones that want to bring the caution out, I guess. Joey Logano not wasting any time. He'll rock it to the race lead. Three inside. 19 with Utah. Got 20. Wipes it up. Oh, we got a car around. Josh Barry gets tagged. Store all the s***. Christopher Bell. Oh, man. Split up the racetrack into the door of the 21. That left front's broke. Go to the garage. 20 car got you. Looks like he got loose underneath you. Here comes the 21. I'm sure he's mad. Yeah. You can tell the spotter right at the start. Where do I take this piece of s***? Go beneath that start finish line. Is it going to leave it in the 20 stall? I wish. Joey Logano continues to lead this thing. Every time we have a restart, he comfortably drives away. I got to be honest. S*** Joey's going. Oh, man. Should be seeing the green checkered right here. No pressure behind. First stage victory of 2026 for Joey Logano. Have I mentioned this race is way too s*** long? I think it started two weeks ago. I need two water bottles and a couple of gels, please. Copy that. Just something with some sugar. Starting to cramp a little bit. Final stage underway at North Wilkesboro. Short, quarter, quarter, bumper, bumper, bumper, bumper, bumper, clear. Denny Hamlin tries to make the top side work. He'll have to settle in behind Logano now. It's really, really tight. 57 of Hostmark continues to struggle. It's undrivable, like I'm telling you. As soon as we can pit, I have it. We pit now. We're going to go multiple down. We're planning on 74. Something's f***ing broke, or I'm having a plan. Okay, simple. All we can do is hope for a caution right now. Laney flying around the top. Taking another spot. Laney fourth. All clear. Driving away. This time, we'll pit, pit, pit. Denny Hamlin, second place, jumps to pit road first. We'll see if the 22 counters. The 11 just pitted behind us. Do you need an adjustment, Joey? Bring it to us. Now. Copy. This time. Joey Logano, your leader is dead. It's going to be a pretty close blend, but I think Joey Logano might keep it, or will it be momentum for Hamlin? 22. Blending here in front of you. Three to Denny. Logano gets back on the gas. Pulls up in front of the 11. Right here, 88 laps to go. Oh, and we got a penalty on Ryan Blaney, speeding on the pit lane. Do you have a pass through? Yep. When the f*** you want me to come? Come right away. Huge penalty for the 12. Blaney is being shown two laps down in the 20th position. Now that the pit stops have cycled through, Joey Logano leads Denny Hamlin, Chase Frisco, Shane Van Gusbergen, and Bubba Wallace. Take your part and drive away. 45 to go here. Just do it now. Not over. Still got a race. Can't give up nothing. Don't f***ing say I'm giving up, but I'm trying my hands off after. I mean it that way. I said don't give up nothing. That's all I meant by that. Joey Logano trying to snap a 45-race winless streak. Can he hang on? 10 to go. Six back to the 11. Now Logano just wants to make sure he sees the white flag. Don't need a caution. Your gap's nine to Denny. White flag here. One more. Joey Logano's going to snap a 45-race winless streak, and he will win at North Wilkesboro. Yeah! Hell yeah! He threw a great fight. Played a battle. Just a tiny bit short today. Hell yeah. What a night. Good job, guys. Yeah, copy that. We can do it. Good car. What a car. Good job, Paul. Good job, team. Good. 38 career wins. 16th season with a victory for Joey Logano. Hell yeah. Perfect. Good job. Appreciate it, man. Yeah, way to stick together here.
