With four NASCAR Cup Series championships and 93 wins in the top series—including three Daytona 500 victories—there’s little Jeff Gordon can’t do with a steering wheel in his hands. But what about a wrench? The NASCAR Hall of Famer recently visited the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to help build the twin-turbo 5.5-liter

There are gas stations, and then there is Buc-ee’s. The company does highway rest stops right, with massive convenience stores serving fresh barbecue and stocked with things you probably don’t need, but are pretty cool nonetheless. It’s also become a cultural phenomenon—people just love that buck-toothed beaver. Drivers in seven states will soon get to

Honda’s Formula 1 power unit effort is effectively starting over from scratch with new partner Aston Martin. That’s naturally going to lead to some teething problems as it gets up to speed with the competition, in addition to the new 2026 engine regulations presenting uncharted territory for everyone. Among those problems are nagging vibrations that,

What began nearly four years ago with the signing of a contract that wasn’t ultimately fulfilled, and later evolved into a multi-million-dollar lawsuit between racing driver Alex Palou, McLaren, and Chip Ganassi Racing, is finally settled. The amount of the settlement was not made public, but it certainly wasn’t cheap, as back in January, a

After years of doing its best imitation of a non-legacy manufacturer, Ford made a big splash last fall when it announced a new, “software-defined vehicle” platform aimed at bringing affordable EVs to the U.S. market. But if the current (now discontinued) F-150 Lightning and Mach-E aren’t software-defined EVs, then what are they? And just what

The Cadillac Formula 1 Team will race its maiden Grand Prix next weekend, but before it sets up shop in Australia, it revealed the codename for its first-ever chassis: the MAC-26. The designation stands for Mario Andretti Cadillac 2026, and it honors the 1978 F1 World Champion. The tribute isn’t just because of Andretti’s accomplishments

Though it doesn’t happen quite as often as it used to, sometimes, if you catch an automaker’s website when the stars align, you’ll see something not quite meant for your eyes. BMW is preparing some new M and M Performance models, and it’s already begun laying the groundwork online, as the good people over at

Some of the coolest stuff from BMW M and Mercedes AMG over the years came as skunkswork projects. Remember the M Clown Shoe? Now Rivian’s skunkworks performance division just got the green light and became official as the high-performance division for the electric automaker. On Thursday, in Big Sky, Montana, Rivian formally announced the formation

JB Tools, an online tool and garage-stuff retailer out of Livonia, Michigan, has become one of my new favorite places to browser-window shop. There’s a great selection of hand tools, power tools, safety equipment, and more on the site. But there’s also a richly populated clearance-sale page loaded with killer deals, and below that, specific

The automobile has been commonplace for more than a century. Despite that fact, the world still can’t agree on one of the most basic principles of operating a car: which side of the road to drive on. This lasting schism has cost automakers billions in redundant development costs and makes the simple act of owning
