Supercross might seem …

NASCAR is massively popular but remains a fairly insular world. It may look a little silly to nonracing fans or even fans of other racing series; I get it. But, even if you don’t know racing at all, you have probably heard the name Tony Stewart. Well, he and fellow NASCAR big-shot Ray Evernham have …

The GR Yaris’s rave reviews don’t make its lack of US availability any easier to bear. But the Toyota hot hatch isn’t the only rally-themed car kept from American shores.

Formula 1 cars are made of many expensive pieces, but the most costly options might not be what you think.

When one of your latest cars is so fast that its hubcaps come off, that’s a proper sign of performance dedication. And AMG has been doing that to Mercedes-Benz’s cars for decades, plus a brief dalliance with Mitsubishi. This legacy was kick-started by one very special sedan: the Mercedes 300 SEL 6.8, aka the ‘Red …

The first desert-hopping dune buggies were made from VW Beetles. But today, the lightweight off-road racer formula has gotten a bit more extreme.

Though the Bronco R couldn’t quite pull off a Baja win, Ford hasn’t pulled the plug on the SUV’s racing career.

The Ford Bronco 4600 channels extreme Baja spirit …
