"Richmond Race Review"

 


Wow! In an upset alert, Alex Bowman wins the “ Toyota Owners 400” at Richmond. Richmond Raceway is

where the Nascar Cup Series raced at this weekend ending with a shocking Finish. Alex Bowman took the

checkered flag by passing Denny Hamlin on the final restart to conclude today’s race. Denny Hamlin led

207 out of 400 laps today but couldn’t close out the race.  Denny Hamlin battled Joey Logano in the

closing laps to try to put an end to today’s race just for a late race caution. This stacked the field back up

which led to Alex Bowman passing Denny Hamlin on the final restart of the race. This is Huge for Alex

Bowman, he was on the outside looking in on the playoff standings. Now he’s in the playoffs with his first

win of this season. This is week number 9 in the books as week 10 is this upcoming Sunday. As the

weeks progress, the playoff standings are getting tighter by each race.

There are 8 different winners in 9 races, this could make this season very unique for how valuable each race is. My personal opinion on today’s race, the action was solid. My first thoughts were today was an average race nothing bad but nothing great. But the finish from today made it surprising. For a car that didn’t stand out much today, to pass the dominant car for the win is huge.

  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.

(Christopher Bell Burning it down Post-Race) Entering this afternoon in New Hampshire, only three spots were left for the playoffs.  Today, Christopher Bell, at arguably his best track, takes away one of those spots.  Christopher Bell entered this weekend with an up and down stretch after leaving Atlanta Motor Speedway.  Bell’s #20 Joe Gibbs Racing machine, showed up with speed, as that paid dividends this afternoon.  The 27-year-old raced hard today, as he took the lead from Chase Elliott which was eventually for the win.  He was one of the many Toyota drivers to

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
