A big domino, albeit an expected one, has now fallen in NASCAR Silly Season. 2004 Cup Series Champion Kurt Busch is officially headed to 23XI Racing at the conclusion of the 2021 campaign.
For the second year in a row, the Cup Series will finish off the regular season at Daytona International Speedway. This week, the Money Train delves into the DFS options for Sunday’s Cup Series event in Daytona, FL.
The last time NASCAR ran on an oval was over a month ago, which seems odd when you think about it. Now the spotlight is on Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, MI.
A bad year for race control in NASCAR boiled over on Sunday in Indianapolis. A slew of bad calls and misjudgments made the first up Cup race on the IMS road course a disaster in the closing laps. Some serious changes to the race control department are needed.
Kyle Larson led the final 26 laps on Sunday en route to his fifth win on the season. Moreover, he caught Denny Hamlin in the point race (both have 917 points). Despite this, he would not be free of controversy. On the 55th lap, Larson and Christopher Bell had a dust-up that would leave Bell on the losing end. As Larson attempted to overtake Bell in turn 1, his brakes evidently locked up, which would cause Bell to spin out. Bell finished seventh in the race.
After seeing Kurt Busch pull off the surprise victory to put himself in the playoffs two races ago, Aric Almirola would go and trump that feat in New Hampshire, winning his first-ever Cup race at a track other than a Superspeedway. His win would require getting past three fellow Ford drivers late in the race, including SHR teammate Kevin Harvick and Penske’s Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney.
It is now that wonderful time of year in the NASCAR realm where team and driver moves for next year are heavily speculated on. This year, a few moves have already been set in place. Including a few that have been announced within the last couple of days. As of Thursday this week here is where most things stand and what could possibly lie ahead.
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.

Another domino in this year’s NASCAR silly season fell on Tuesday afternoon, and it is a gigantic one. Justin Marks and street hop artist Pitbull’s upstart Trackhouse Racing Team has purchased all assets of Chip Ganassi Racing’s NASCAR team.

The Group play is over, and Team USA is now heading toward the Round of 32 with confidence. Still, as @ChiefsInsider states, the path ahead won't be easy, but to downplay their chances for a deep run would be a mistake. @HenseToddJR3
