The Cup Series stays in Daytona for another week. This following last Sunday’s season debut, which saw Front Row driver Michael McDowell collect his first-ever Daytona 500 win. However, instead of racing on the traditional 2.5-mile Superspeedway, they will be running on the Daytona Road Course.
Today, the NASCAR cup series will be racing at the Roval in Charlotte, N.C. The Roval is a 2.28-mile track that is a half road and half speedway course. This track is in its third year of being on the NASCAR cup series schedule. It has also been scheduled every year as a cut-off race in the second round of the playoffs which makes it a very important race.
After more than 16 years, Kurt Busch’s dream of winning at his home track of Las Vegas came to fruition on Sunday. Fittingly came with a bit of lady luck considering the circumstances. It all stemmed from a late-race caution for track debris during a green flag pit stop, which would leave Busch as the lone playoff competitor still on the lead lap.
The last race of the regular season would prove to be the dog fight we expected, with the final three playoff spots being filled. Clint Bowyer, William Byron, and Matt DiBenedetto would all skate through, as both Jimmie Johnson and Erik Jones would be caught up in separate multi-car wrecks.
