“Daytona Road Course Race Review”



The Nascar Cup Series raced at the “ Daytona Road course” this weekend resulting in some controversial topics. 26 year old Christopher Bell won last night in a switch of the lead, coming to the final laps of the “O’ Reilly Auto parts 253” race at Daytona. Last night's event ended in a shocker when a quick pop up shower hit the track. This resulted in Nascar officials throwing the caution in the closing laps because of rain. Because of that, drivers and teams had  the option to put on rain tires or slicks. Rain tires are better in the rain and wet conditions for one safety reason and also handling and controlling the car. Slicks( Regular standard tires) are normally used for regular conditions and no moisture in the track. Drivers and teams elected to keep the slicks on which led to the “sprint to the finish” type of ending to the race.  Which resulted in Christopher Bell taking the lead from fellow competitor Joey Logano to end the race.

In a great way to snag his first career win Christopher Bell is crowned the daytona road course champ. But not for long until the Cup Series turns around, as they head for Homestead Miami Speedway https://www.homesteadmiamispeedway.com/ for the “ Dixie Vodka 400” Sunday at 3:30 eastern, only on FOX.

"Homestead Miami Race Review"

  Justin Glenn  3/1/21 2:11pm Homestead Miami Race Review The “ Homestead Miami Speedway” Is where the Nascar Cup Series race ended yesterday ending in good fashion. Yesterday’s race resulted in a great win for William Byron, but also showed some new faces up front. Here is Yesterday's closing laps. William Byron took the checkered flag to record his second career win and first of this 2021 season. The Nascar Cup Series and also the Truck and Xfinity Series will be back in action six days from now at the For the Pennzoil 400 at 3:30 on FOX. My personal Opinion:  I thought this was a pretty solid race, it definitely didn’t show the balance in the field as people will be looking for next week. But all in all it was a pretty good race but as already known Sunday, Las Vegas is next as week 4 of this Nascar season rolls on heading in to the west coast swing.

  The long-awaited return to Homestead-Miami, Florida. After a year and a half, the Nascar Cup Series made its return to Homestead-Miami Speedway. Kyle Larson, in a dominant, and almost perfect afternoon, took home the checkered flag.  This is Larson's 3rd win of the 2022 season and the 19th of his career.  Larson swept both stages 1 and 2.  (Kyle Larson with the Homestead-Miami Trophy) Let’s go through today’s race, John Hunter Nemechek, after running 4th for most of stage 1, spun coming out of turn 1.  This derailed Nemechek’s promising weekend, as he finished 27th.  Chase Briscoe, who is now in a must-win situation, was done for the day by the end of stage 2. After contact with the outside wall, Briscoe’s afternoon was done. Tyler Reddick had a hard hit into the outside wall with 22 laps to go. Reddick, running the outside lane, got loose, and made heavy contact with the inside wall on the back straightaway, coming out of turn 2. Lastly, Kyle Larson spun Martin Truex Jr. on pit
