" Texas Race Review"

 



Texas! The Nascar Cup Series visited Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas for the  “Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500”. Kyle Larson once again wins collecting his 8th win of the season and 14th of his career. With this win, Larson locks himself into the championship round of 4 in November.

Larson once again dominated today by leading 256 laps out of today’s 334 total. All day long Larson and his team have been efficient, precise and on point throughout this afternoon. Today’s competition wasn’t enough to knock Larson off his hot streak. Once again, this win holds major value over the next two weeks. Over the stretch Larson’s experience will be smooth sailing until Phoenix Raceway on November 7th.

As we conclude from Texas this evening, a lot has unfolded. Wrecks, playoff drama, driver issues and more all unfolded today. As we wait until Kansas on Sunday, Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr. and Ryan Blaney are all currently over the cutline. Now for drivers with something to worry and think about, Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Joey Logano and Brad Keslowski have two attempts left to advance to the next round.

In my opinion today was alright. Wrecks, playoff drama and more fed into today’s result. Texas Motor Speedway is not the best track, but it did produce interesting action today. Massive wrecks stole the show, with 7 restarts in the closing laps today’s results didn’t come easy. Larson was contested on each restart for the race win.  Overall I’d give today an 8 out of 10. But I will be looking forward to Kansas on Sunday.

Racing in the Sunflower state. The Nascar Cup Series will visit Kansas Speedway located in Kansas City, Kansas for the “ Hollywood Casino 400”. This is a 1.5 mile race track with a bunch of wild restarts and entertainment. With two races left after Texas today, these next two races will be ones to watch. We will sit and wait then see what happens with racing in the Sunflower state of Kansas. Tune in Sunday, October 24th 3:00pm only on NBCSN.

"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.

(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

  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
