This week the NASCAR Cup Series heads to the track most famous for the Indy cars and the Indianapolis 500. The race this weekend is the Brickyard 400. The 400 is not nearly as big as the 500. However, it is still one of those races that drivers really want to win. Kissing the bricks is a huge moment for the teams no matter which series they are racing in.
Chase Briscoe is sizzling hot at the moment, having just won his second race in the past three weeks this past Saturday at Pocono. It’s also a huge bounce back result after finishing 18th the week prior at Talladega Superspeedway. Briscoe and Ross Chastain traded the lead in those last two laps, however, it was Briscoe that eventually gained the upper hand on Chastain. Briscoe would beat out the runner-up by just over a second. Chastain did not go away empty handed either, after he won the $100,000 Dash for Cash grand prize. It was awarded to the highest finisher among four eligible drivers.
As was to be expected at Talladega Superspeedway, it was a race that would inevitably come down to an overtime finish. Kevin Harvick would get the jump on the restart, leading the first two laps. However, during that final lap Ryan Blaney would make a sharp pass on the outside of Harvick, giving Blaney the race lead. Ricky Stenhouse Jr would then give Harvick a hard bump and run, and then make his pass on the outside.
This week, NASCAR heads down to Talladega. This is one of the biggest wild card races of the year. Not only will it be a different package, but it will be the driver’s first time racing with this package. This wouldn’t be a big deal but since there’s no practice the first couple laps in a big pack could get dicey. The package will slow the cars down in an attempt to keep cars from flipping as Ryan Newman did at Daytona.
Last weekend was a little offbeat for the Xfinity Series, as there would be back to back races at Homestead-Miami. After finishing in seventh place on Saturday, Chase Briscoe would wrap up the doubleheader with a nail-biting victory at the Contender Boats 250. Brandon Jones, Ross Chastain, and A J Allmendinger would round out the top four. In order to win, Briscoe would need to do it with a completely new man on the pit box.
The Gibbs side had plenty of problems on Wednesday night at Martinsville. However, it would end up being Martin Truex Jr that carried the can for the organization. Erik Jones and Denny Hamlin would each finish the race three laps down. Normally a strong driver at his home track, Hamlin had problems most of the night. He ended up 24th, which was last among the Gibbs drivers.
This weekend the Xfinity Series heads to Homestead-Miami Speedway. This race has been the championship weekend in the past but NASCAR changed the schedule this year. This was an attempt to mix up the championship race every year so it doesn’t favor certain drivers.
Kevin Harvick just continues to dominate at Atlanta Motorspeedway, having led at least 45 laps or more in his past seven NASCAR Cup Series visits. In dominating fashion on Sunday, Harvick would lap all but the last nine drivers by races end. Martin Truex Jr would win the first two stages but would be overtaken by Harvick with 105 laps left to go. Harvick would not relinquish the lead after that.

It finally came up trumps for Hendricks driver Chase Elliott on Thursday night. After his hopes of victory were quickly dashed in the previous Cup Series race. Elliot was able to close the deal, only a week later. Again rain would not cooperate, pushing the race back another day. Joey Logano would lead the first portion of the event,capturing the first stage and 33 of the laps. Alex Bowman took the stage 2 win, but would finish in 31st place.
