NASCAR makes major change to 2027 Daytona 500 week, fans furious with another change & race wife in Costa Rica

NASCAR season begins with the Daytona 500, as fans gather despite weather concerns. Fox News correspondent Madison Scarpino interviews two fans on 'Fox Report.'

Monday Morning Pit-Stop is a weekly NASCAR column that runs on OutKick.com and Fox News Digital. If you're looking for a normal NASCAR recap, go check out insufferable ESPN ... assuming they still know NASCAR exists.

It's the Summer of Corey Heim and Ty Gibbs in NASCAR ...

On a totally unrelated note, what a rough summer for NASCAR!

Lordy. You take a week off, regroup, recharge, and come back to Leigh Diffey, another TV channel to find, and more domination from the Toyotas in a car nobody likes.

Congrats to Ty Gibbs!

How in the world am I supposed to make content today? I'm gonna need NASCAR to work with me a bit here. I can do most of the legwork, but I need this summer to turn around. We're running out of time!

Oh well. I reckon I'll figure it out. I always do. It's why we win (alleged) awards around here.

Yes, Leigh Diffey is back, and NASCAR fans made sure to voice their appreciation on social media. We'll talk about it. They continue to despise the Next Gen car. We'll talk about that, too.

Do y'all like anything right now? Well, you like Kyle Busch stuff, right?

I've also got Ryan Blaney giving us maybe the best Kyle Busch tribute yet. There. Finally! Something positive today.

Daytona can't get here soon enough. This sport needs a real race right now in the worst possible way. Nineteen more days.

Four tires, a couple splashes of that Sunoco racin' fuel, and maybe a hug for all the Hendrick fellas, because that team STINKS right now ... Monday Morning Pit-Stop — the 'The Week Off Didn't Do Much' edition — is LIVE!
