Last Saturday night’s tumultuous end to the regular season has now ushered us into the round of 16. In keeping with recent tradition, Darlington will again host the first race in the Cup Series playoffs.
The regular season of the NASCAR Cup Series is now in the books. Now the 2021 Postseason begins this Sunday evening with the annual running of the Southern 500 at Darlington.
In Atlanta, it was a brother 1-2 finish with Kurt Busch emerging as the surprise winner. As well as Kurt bested his brother Kyle Busch last Sunday, it’s uncommon these days to see him do that. Amazingly, Kurt didn’t lead more than 144 laps in a Cup race since 2015 at Richmond, in which he led 291 laps.
This week, the Money Train delves into the DFS options for Sunday’s Cup Series event in Atlanta, GA. I’ve broken down the selections between high salary, mid-range, and value play.
With a track surface that has not been overhauled since 1997, Atlanta was due for a repave sooner or later. Now that day will come, as this weekend’s Xfinity and Cup Races will be the final races on the worn-out Atlanta Motor Speedway surface. In addition to laying down some new asphalt, Atlanta will also make some changes to the banking in the corners and track width as well. However, the reaction to these changes has been mostly negative, from fans and drivers alike.
The hits keep coming for Kyle Larson, as he picked up his third straight Cup Series victory last Sunday at Nashville. Larson didn’t waste much time inhaling the first four drivers after qualifying as deep as fifth. After 300 laps, he led 264 of them.
Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson is in the midst of one of the most dominant runs that the NASCAR Cup Series has seen in the last decade. Dating back to May 9 in Darlington, he has finished no worse than second place, Led 915 out of a possible 1,806 laps, and now has won three consecutive races.
Coming off two straight Cup victories, Kyle Larson continues to pour it on. While this latest All-Star victory does Larson no good in terms of Series points, it was still impressive to see him work through a completely different format from the rest of the cup schedule. This week, the Money Train delves into the DFS options for Sunday’s Cup Series event in Nashville, TN.
The sanctioning body of NASCAR has made near wholesale changes in recent years. Despite these efforts, NASCAR still finds itself in a spot of needing improvement, especially with the Gen-7 Car set to roll into the Cup Series next year.
For the first time in history, we will have the NASCAR All-Star race in Fort Worth, Texas, and the Texas Motor Speedway. Until now, the all-star race had only left Charlotte twice in its history. The 100-lap main event has been split into six phases with the lineup for each stage being determined by separate methods.
Last week, at Darlington Martin Truex Jr., put on a clinic. He led 248 laps out of 293 en route to a dominating victory. This week, they head to Dover, Delaware for the Drydene 400. This is a tough track and has the nickname “The Monster Mile” for a reason.
For the majority of last Sunday’s event at Darlington, Martin Truex Jr. was in the zone. Truex Jr. would stay strong once he was able to gain that very early foothold (leading a whopping 248 of 293 laps). However, it would not be a smooth finish, considering Kyle Larson’s hard charge in the waning laps.
