" Bristol Race Review"


 

It’s Bristol Baby! The Nascar Cup Series visited Bristol Motor Speedway, located in Bristol, Tennessee for the “ Bass Pro Shops Night Race”. Kyle Larson wins in a last lap thriller! Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliott tangled up in the closing laps handing Kyle Larson the win. This is Larson’s 6th win of 2021 and his first of the 2021 Nascar playoffs.

Tonight was wild. Wrecks, tempers, playoff drama all unfolded tonight under the lights at Bristol. Tonight was the cutoff race for all drivers, 4 were eliminated and 12 moved on. Kurt Busch, Michael Mcdowell, Aric Amirola and Tyler Reddick were all eliminated after tonight’s race. The margin between drivers and the cutoff line was crazy, two positions separated a driver from advancing to the next round or going home.

Tonight was must see TV. The race started off a little bit slow. But things towards the end picked up. Driver’s started getting aggressive, patience was starting to decrease between one and another. This is what set tonight up for success. Personally, this is one of the better races I’ve seen this entire 2021 season. Bristol delivered once again and it never disappoints. I think Nascar should keep Bristol Motor Speedway as a first round cutoff race. So overall I’d give tonight’s race a 9.5 out of 10.

Tonight was long for all fans and drivers. This race was 500 laps and four hours long. But, this race was far from disappointing. As we wrap up from Bristol, the round of 12 is here. This is the second round of the 2021 Nascar playoffs. This round, just like the first round, will shrink the playoff field to 8 drivers after these three races. The Nascar Cup Series will head to Las Vegas Motor Speedway on September 26th, then Talladega Superspeedway October 3rd and finally the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval on October 10th.

"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
