Chase Elliott got aggressive at Texas Motor Speedway and was finally able to another win in the NASCAR Cup Series. The AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 was a challenge for every car on the track. All the drivers were calling the track “sketchy.” During practice and qualifying they just couldn’t seem to find the set up for their cars that made them feel good behind the wheel. That “sketchy” feeling appeared to continue in the race Sunday afternoon (3/14). There were 16 caution periods for a total of 72 laps. Some cautions were for cars that spun all by themselves. Apparently, they were victi ..read more

William Byron led his Hendrick Motorsports (HMS) teammates into the NASCAR history books in the Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway Sunday (4/7). The day was historic to start with for HMS.

Martin Truex Jr. dominated the Toyota Owners 500 on Easter Sunday. However, it was Denny Hamlin that left Richmond Raceway with the NASCAR win. Kyle Larson started from the pole position in Sunday’s race (3/31). It appeared that the race would come down to a competition between Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle. Kyle was able to lead 144 laps and score the win in stage one. However, Martin led a race-high 228 laps, win stage two and dominate the last half of the race.

Sunday (3/24) was the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at the Circuit Of The Americas (COTA). William Byron dominated on the road course to become the first 2-time NASCAR Cup Series winner in 2024. William started the day from the pole position and made sure every other driver on the course knew that to win the race you would have to beat him. He led a race high 42 laps in the 68-lap race. The next closest to William among the other six drivers to lead the race was Ross Chastain with just 10 laps out front. The race had incidents of cars hitting each other and spinning. However, since COTA is a ..read more

Denny Hamlin was able to use his experience to protect his tires to be there at the end of the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. NASCAR fans got to witness what many might call “old school” Bristol in the St. Patrick’s Day race. The tires wore out quickly on the concrete racing surface. That put surviving the race in the hands of the drivers to protect their tires to be able to compete. The preferred racing groove was down around the inside as has been in the past. Teams had to strategize to ensure they would have enough tires to make it to the end of the race with a chance to win. The ..read more

Kyle was one of 15 drivers that would exchange the lead 24 times during the race. However, he was the one driver at the lead the most with 181 laps ..read more

Ryan Blaney did more than he needed at Martinsville Speedway in order to make the 2023 NASCAR Championship Four. The Xfinity 500 was the elimination race in the Round of 8.

Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell won the first two races in the Round of 8. That meant they were locked in the Championship Four. That left Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, William Byron, Tyler Reddick, Martin Truex Jr. and Chris Buescher to battle it out for the final two spot ..read more
