Chicago, IL, USA

NASCAR will celebrate its 75th season with an unprecedented street race through downtown Chicago in yet another radical change to the once staid schedule. The Cup Series will race against the backdrop of Lake Michigan and Grant Park next July 2 in the debut race of a three-year deal with the city of Chicago. The venture was spearheaded by Ben Kennedy, the 30-year-old great-grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France. It was Kennedy who successfully orchestrated the January exhibition race inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum that will return for a second running in 2023. Kennedy told The Associated Press he began working on both the Coliseum and Chicago street race in 2019. The new venues come as NASCAR has made sweeping changes to its oval-heavy schedule, first by adding both a dirt race at Bristol Motor Speedway and additional road courses and now a completely new concept. Also Read | Bobby East NASCAR career timeline,The Chicago race will be paired with an IMSA sports car race the day before, as well as music and entertainment options located along the 12-turn, 2.2-mile street course. “Historically we've always been short tracks, intermediates, superspeedways, eventually started getting more road courses and then came up with the Coliseum concept,” Kennedy told the AP. “But the street course is something we haven't explored a whole lot before, and the the ability for us to get a downtown setting like his and bring racing to our fans, a street course is a perfect opportunity for it.”,NASCAR last month confirmed the Coliseum would return next January, but the rest of the 2023 schedule has yet to be announced. Kennedy, however, confirmed to the AP that the Chicago street course will replace the road course race at Road America on the Cup schedule.

Who is Trent William Millsap, suspect in NASCAR star Bobby East's stabbing?

In what could be a potentially damaging statement in the longer run, Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson has come out with a claim that President Joe Biden takes ‘pills’ to improve cognitive appearance before public appearances. Joe Biden became America’s oldest President to take office when he was inducted in his role as a 78-year-old in 2021. The American supremo has faced similar allegations in the past, which he refuted. However, Carlson insisted during his Friday night show that he had ‘spoken’ to a witness who can vouch for the same, having seen Biden using the medication during his presidential campaign. Also Read: Elon Musk files motion to block Twitter's request for fast-track trial,“His staff, supervised by Dr. Jill, his wife, was giving him pills before every public appearance. Checking the time, and at the certain hour giving him a dose of something,” Carlson quipped. “Before taking the medications, this person said Biden was 'Like a small child.' You could not communicate with him, he changed completely because he was on drugs and he clearly still is on drugs,” the presenter proclaimed. The statements came during a conversation in a talk show, where Carlson alleged that Biden is ‘incapacitated’ and has ‘dementia.’ However, according to a recent report from Biden’s White House doctor, the President is under treatment for ‘irregular heartbeat, high cholesterol and seasonal allergies’, medication for which does not improve cognitive function in a human. Also Read: Bobby East dead: Tributes pour in for the NASCAR star,Before Fox TV presenter Carlson, former President Donald Trump had also raised similar allegations against Biden, saying in an interview, “That’s what i hear,” while answering if he thinks the latter is using drugs. “It is probably, possibly drugs involved. That's what I hear,” Trump opined 2020, just before Biden defeated him in the presidential election. “I mean there's possibly drugs. I don't know how you can go from being so bad where you can't even get out a sentence,” Trump added.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — O. Bruton Smith, who emerged from North Carolina farm country and parlayed his love of motorsports into a Hall of Fame career as one of the biggest track owners and most successful promoters in the history of auto racing, died Wednesday. He was 95. His death was announced by Speedway Motorsports, which cited natural causes. His son, Marcus, the current president and CEO, on Tuesday posted a tribute to his father on social media: “I had a wonderful Father's Day weekend. I am so thankful to be a dad, and to have an amazing dad,” said the post, which was accompanied by photos of Smith surrounded by his family. “Race fans are, and always will be, the lifeblood of NASCAR. Few knew this better than Bruton Smith, NASCAR chairman Jim France said. “Bruton built his race tracks employing a simple philosophy; give face fans memories they will cherish for a lifetime. In doing do, Bruton helped grow NASCAR's popularity as the preeminent spectator sport.”,Also read | NASCAR's preseason Clash set to return to the LA Coliseum in 2023,Born March 2, 1927, on a farm in Oakboro, a small town 30 miles east of Charlotte, Ollen Bruton Smith was the youngest of nine children. He watched his first race as an 8-year-old during the Depression and bought his first race car at 17 for $700. “The whole idea at that time was that I was going to be a race car driver. I learned to drive, but that career didn't last long,” Smith said about his early start, claiming his mother prayed for him to find another passion. “You can't fight your mom and God, so I stopped driving.”,Smith instead became an entrepreneur — promoting his first race at age 18 — and became one of the giants in stock car racing. Speedway Motorsports, the company he founded, was the first motorsports company to trade on the New York Stock Exchange and it currently owns 11 facilities across the United States. The tracks host NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA and other series in Hampton, Georgia; Bristol, Tennessee; Concord, North Carolina; Loudon, New Hampshire; Sonoma, California; Fort Worth, Texas; Dover, Delaware; Nashville, Tennessee; North Wilkesboro, North Carolina; Sparta, Kentucky, and Las Vegas.

A lot of people don't have that gift because they didn't grow up working. Bu if you are on a family farm, that's what you do. Everything is hard work.”,Speedway Motorsports also owns and operates a number of subsidiaries. Smith founded Sonic Automotive in early 1997 and took it public 11 months later; in 2000, it was recognized as a Fortune 500 company and has hundreds of dealerships in over 20 states. Smith was on the ground floor as stock car racing grew in popularity, starting in the Deep South. Smith joked he was “unlucky enough” to be appointed by a committee of frustrated racers and car owners to begin promoting races. Also read | Red Bull Racing suspends junior driver Juri Vips over alleged racial slur,He partnered with Curtis Turner in 1959 to build Smith's first permanent motorsports facility, Charlotte Motor Speedway. It opened in June 1960 with a 600-mile race, the longest in NASCAR history. The Coca-Cola 600 to this day is considered a crown jewel on the NASCAR calendar. Smith became known for building state-of-the-art facilities that embraced the fan experience. His tracks have condominiums, Speedway Clubs that offer fine dining and giant, high-definition video screens. “I love the racing business. I want to contribute more and more,” Smith said in 2015. “You hear us preach about ‘fan friendly.’ I think that is a driver for me to just do more things. I enjoy the contributions I’ve been able to make to the sport.”,He often sparred with NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. and his successor, Bill France Jr. and battled the NASCAR leadership for decades trying to bring elite Cup Series races to his properties. The two largest operators of racetracks in the country rarely saw eye-to-eye, but Smith, with his gold-framed shaded sunglasses and wild sport coats, never backed down. Also read | What is porpoising, the aerodynamic issue plaguing Formula1 drivers?,“Bruton’s contribution to stock car racing is hard to measure,” said fellow NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. “His ambitious vision created growth and opportunities that I am forever thankful for.”,Eddie Gossage, who worked for Smith at Charlotte before leaving to help open Texas Motor Speedway and guide it through its first 25 years, paid tribute to his former boss. “I’ve met American Presidents and scholars. Astronauts and artists. World famous musicians and athletes. But the greatest man I ever met was Bruton Smith, said Gossage, who retired last summer. We had so much fun working together. He always treated me like an equal as he taught me lessons about business and life.”,Smith in 2016 was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame for his contributions to motorsports. He was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2007 and the National Motorsports Press Association Hall of Fame a year earlier. Jim France called Smith “a giant of a sport.”,Also read | F1: Pierre Gasly 'confirmed' to continue with AlphaTauri in 2023,“Everyone knows what he’s done for motorsports, NHRA and NASCAR, drag racing great John Force said. He was like a second father to me. I met him when he opened Bristol. I sure loved him. I’m going to miss him. His legacy will live on.”,Smith is survived by sons Scott, Marcus and David, daughter Anna Lisa, their mother, Bonnie Smith and seven grandchildren. Funeral arrangements were pending.

Sonoma, CA, USA

SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — NASCAR's preseason Clash race is rolling back to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 2023. NASCAR said Sunday it will return the exhibition race to the Southern California sports landmark next season. The Clash’s highly successful debut there four months ago was part of the launch of NASCAR's Next Gen car and NASCAR received some of its most positive reviews in years for the race. Also read | 24 Hours Le Mans: Toyota demonstrates dominance with 5th straight win,The Clash took place on a temporary 0.25-mile track inside the venerable Coliseum. Joey Logano won the exhibition, which included a halftime show by Ice Cube as part of a six-hour entertainment extravaganza that pleased both the teams and their fans in this frequently staid sport. The upcoming race likely will take place shortly after the 100th birthday of the Coliseum, which opened in January 1923. The asphalt on the short temporary oval on the Coliseum field held together well in the first edition, and crews were able to quickly fix any damage to the walls from the tight racing in close quarters. Also read | F1: Ferrari suffer double DNF in Azerbaijan, Charles Leclerc frustrated,The first 43 editions of the Clash had been held at Daytona International Speedway from its inception in 1979, but NASCAR relocated it to the West Coast in a bid for excitement and attention in an eye-catching venue. NASCAR hadn’t raced in a traditional sports stadium since 1956 at Chicago’s Soldier Field, but it put on a show with Ice Cube rapping on the Peristyle, Pitbull also performing and Jeff Gordon lighting the famed cauldron. The Coliseum, which has hosted two Olympics and the first Super Bowl, is still the home of the USC Trojans football team. The arena also hosted the NFL's Los Angeles Rams until they moved into SoFi Stadium in 2020.

NASCAR's preseason Clash set to return to the LA Coliseum in 2023

Hampton, GA, USA

William Byron held off the freight train behind him, taking the checkered flag for his third NASCAR Cup victory while one last crash unfolded behind him in an appropriate finish Sunday to a thrilling, chaotic race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The reconfigured track — with new pavement and steeper banking — fulfilled those who predicted it would lead to frenzied pack racing at blistering speeds approaching those seen at Talladega and Daytona. “Pretty wild,” Byron said. “I'm out of breath. It was crazy.”,The result was 47 lead changes among an Atlanta-record 20 drivers, a traffic jam of tightly bunched cars at the front of the field, wrecks taking out several top contenders, and a bunch of smashed-up race cars to lug home. Also Read | From Wankhede to DY Patil: All about stadiums hosting IPL 2022,Bryon was leading off the final restart with 13 laps to go. Bubba Wallace briefly grabbed the top spot, only to have Byron pass him right back. Wallace still seemed to be in the most enviable position, especially if he could get a helpful push for a slingshot on the final lap. But everyone behind Byron started jostling for position, all of them wanting to put themselves in position to make the winning move. That worked out perfectly for Byron, who pulled away to win by 0.145 seconds over Ross Chastain while the final wreck of the day sent four cars — including Wallace — spinning across the line. In one last twist, Christopher Bell actually crossed the line second, but NASCAR penalized him for dipping below the double white line on the backstretch of the last lap to get past Chastain. Bell was dropped to 23rd. Also Read | La Liga: Resurgent Barcelona demolish Real Madrid 4-0 in El Clasico,Chastain made quite a comeback after blowing a tire early in the race while leading. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. also blew a tire while running up front. Reigning series champion Kyle Larson, the front of his No. 5 Chevrolet patched with tape, had just surrendered the top spot when Denny Hamlin bumped him from behind, looking to give him a helpful push — only to send him into a spin that knocked them both out of the race. Everyone is kind of hanging on for dear life,” Ryan Blaney said during a caution period. That summed up things perfectly. BASH BROTHERS,On the restart after Chastain's early crash, another wreck took out both Dillon brothers. Kyle Busch gave Austin Dillon a slight bump from behind entering the quad-oval, sending Dillon into the wall. Ty Dillon and Chase Briscoe spun behind them, leaving the younger Dillon with major damage as well. Also Read | FA Cup: Liverpool beat Nottingham 1-0, to face Man City in semi-final,The brothers were forced to retire, leaving Austin with a 35th-place finish and Ty in 36th. “I was in the gas wide open and the 18 (Busch) pushed us and got me loose,” Austin Dillon said. “I don’t want to say any worse. My feelings are hurt. That’s the second week in a row I've been taken out.”,At Phoenix, Daniel Suarez made contact with Dillon on the final lap and sent the No. 3 into the wall, costing him a top-10 finish.

Daytona Beach, FL, USA

Daytona 500 or the Great American Race has been witness to Ford's excellent performance this year. Five of the top six starting positions were Fords. Further, seven positions of the top 10 slot were also taken by Fords. Only one Chevrolet and Toyota vehicle managed to make it to the list. However, it has also seen some major upsets like three-time winner Denny Hamlin being forced to spectate for the first time after an unfortunate crash. That said, the best moment would have to be relative newcomer Austin Cindric edging past the previous winner Bubba Wallace to claim the first spot. Sweetening the deal is the fact that Cindric managed to gain his victory on team owner, Roger Penske's 85th birthday.

Daytona 500 in pics: The Great American Race ends in surprise win

Race

Austin Cindric drove his brand new NASCAR ride to victory in the Daytona 500 to celebrate team owner Roger Penske's 85th birthday. Cindric drove a masterful race at Daytona International Speedway and the Ford drivers synched their strategy all week, then executed their plan to perfection Sunday night. The blue oval drivers pushed each other over 500 miles and were bunched together for the final restart in overtime. Also Read | Denny Hamlin's chase for 4th Daytona 500 win ends in career's 1st crash,Cindric was the leader on the restart from the top lane and pulled out to a sizeable gap. He then ducked down to the bottom line in front of his Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney so that Blaney and Cindric could work together over the final two-lap sprint to the finish. Blaney on the final lap made his move for the lead, and Bubba Wallace ducked low for his own look at the front. Cindric slid up to block Blaney, but still had to hold Wallace off in a drag race.

Three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin became a spectator for the first time in his career at “The Great American Race.

Denny Hamlin's chase for 4th Daytona 500 win ends in career's 1st crash

Shivam Pratap Singh

NASCAR, the top motorsports series in the United States, denounced its association with the Let's go, Brandon political cry being used across the country as an insult directed at President Joe Biden. , NASCAR does not want to be associated with politics on the left or the right, Steve Phelps, its president, said on Friday while adding that NASCAR will pursue action against any illegal use of its trademarks on merchandise boasting the slogan. We will pursue whoever (is using logos) and get that stuff. That's not OK. It's not OK that you're using our trademarks illegally, regardless of whether we agree with what the position is, Phelps was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. The phrase has become a rallying cry for Biden's critics, and Let's go, Brandon is now conservative code for the original vulgar chant. Retired baseball star Lenny Dykstra had posted a photo on Twitter this week of a man-eating breakfast at a New Jersey hotel. The man in the photo was wearing a black Let's go, Brandon shirt alongside NASCAR's trademarked colour bars. ,This stand is a reversal of NASCAR's long history of allowing political candidates to use its races as campaign stops. President Donald Trump was the honorary starter at the Daytona 500 in 2020 and the sold-out February crowd made NASCAR's Super Bowl feel like a campaign rally until his plane flew over the Florida speedway after his command to start the engines. Drivers and their families posed for selfies with Trump ahead of the race, and in early 2016 reigning Cup champion Chase Elliott was among a handful of drivers who attended a Georgia rally with then-NASCAR chairman Brian France in support of Trump. Several in the group, including NASCAR's most popular driver, spoke on stage. NASCAR also took aggressive positions on social justice issues in 2020 during a nationwide racial reckoning following the death of George Floyd. NASCAR banned the display of the Confederate flag at its events at the request of Bubba Wallace, its only Black full-time driver. Wallace wore an I Can't Breathe shirt on pit road and ran with a Black Lives Matter paint scheme in one race. ,Phelps said NASCAR respects the presidential office. Do we like the fact that it kind of started with NASCAR and then is gaining ground out elsewhere? No, we're not happy about that, Phelps said. (With AP inputs)

It's not OK: NASCAR denounces 'Let's go, Brandon' cry

Politics

The hard part wasn't dodging his way around a crash and then driving to the front of the field at Talladega Superspeedway. That was just instinct for Bubba Wallace. The challenge was the 45 minutes after Wallace took the lead, when the sky opened and he anxiously sat in the rain — hoping, wishing, praying — that NASCAR would call off Monday's rescheduled race and declare him the winner. With a crowd gathered behind his pit stand chanting its support — one man told his 6-year-old son, clad in a Wallace shirt and jumping up and down along the fence, that he was “witnessing history” — NASCAR pulled the plug and Wallace became just the second Black driver to win a race at the Cup Series level. “Got some credibility to my name now,” said Wallace, a first-time Cup winner in his 143 starts. “I'm just like, ‘Finally, I’m a winner and I'm a winner in the Cup level,' and it's just like ‘Hell yeah!’ It was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. This was so much more than just a first win. Also Read: Someone must have been watching over me: Lewis Hamilton after scary crash at Italian GP,Wallace is the first Black driver to win at the top level of the elite stock car series since Wendell Scott in 1963, a race where he wasn’t declared the victor for several months. NASCAR at last presented Scott’s family with his trophy from that race two months ago. “You can't swim standing on the Bank!!,” tweeted Warrick Scott Sr. who is Scott's grandson. “RIP Wendell Scott. Congratulations @bubbawallace!!” A second post showed his grandfather leaning against a car and read: “PaPa was there the whole time chilling in the rain. The Wallace victory earned praise from rapper Big Sean, the University of Tennessee football team and Bill Lester, a Black driver who raced intermittently in NASCAR from 1999 through a Trucks Series start this season, among others. “Finally, it’s official, you’ve done it!” Lester posted. “So proud of you and what you’ve accomplished. Your win moves the @NASCAR needle forward on so many fronts. Glad I was a witness.”,The race was spotlighted on NBC's “Nightly News” at the top of Monday's broadcast, illustrating how culturally important Wallace's win was for NASCAR, a predominately white sport with deep Southern roots and a longtime embrace of Confederate symbols. As much as Wallace wanted the moment to be solely about his first career win, he couldn't ignore the significance. “It's definitely been tough going to some of the tracks this year, we get some of the most boos now,” Wallace said. “Everybody says as long as they're making noise that's fine, but you know, I get booed for different reasons and that's the tough thing to swallow. I appreciate all those who were there doing the rain dance with us, pulling for us, supporting me my whole career, but especially those who have supported me with everything that's gone on the last 15-16 months.”,In June 2020 at Talladega, NASCAR discovered a noose in the garage stall assigned to Wallace. The finding came just a week after NASCAR had banned the Confederate flag at its events at Wallace’s urging. The FBI investigated and found that the noose was tied at the end of the garage door pull and had been there for months, meaning Wallace was not a victim of a hate crime. Still, the series rallied around him and stood in solidarity with Wallace at the front of the grid before the race. The flag ban continues to be an issue at Talladega, where a convoy of vehicles has paraded up and down Speedway Boulevard outside the main entrance of the speedway during all four race weekends since NASCAR announced the flag ban. The convoy was back this weekend and included one car pulling a trailer that contained a Civil War-era cannon. Also Read: 'Iceman' Kimi Raikkonen to retire at the end of 2021 Formula 1 season,Wallace has called the noose incident a low point and he’s been subjected to online harassment that last year even included a tweet from then-President Donald Trump that falsely accused Wallace of making up the noose. Although Wallace never saw the noose and was only told about it by NASCAR President Steve Phelps after the FBI had been summoned to investigate, he’s been accused by many in the public of orchestrating a hoax. When Monday's race was halted with Wallace as the leader, social media was ablaze with comments attacking the 27-year-old Alabama native whose birthday is later this week. “They just are haters. That’s all you can really say about it,” said Denny Hamlin, Wallace's team co-owner and a fellow driver. I try to say to him, ‘Don’t get your motivation trying to prove haters wrong. Instead get your motivation from trying to do the people that support you proud.’,“That’s where the motivation is going to come from, is the people that are going to support you through the good times and the bad times, Hamlin said. Wallace had driven through a crash and to the front of the field five laps before the second rain stoppage of the race. When he surged to the front, and with the entire field realizing that rain could halt the race at any time, runner-up Brad Keselowski recognized Wallace had likely just won the race with his pass. “I was thinking, ’Oh, geez. I wish I would have made that move,' Keselowski said. “(His) was the right move at the right time.”,NASCAR tried to dry the track for nearly 45 minutes, but called things off as sunset approached and the rain showed no sign of ceasing. Wallace had been waiting atop his pit stand and celebrated wildly with his crew when the decision came. Wallace is in his first season driving for 23X1 Racing, a team owned by both Hamlin and Michael Jordan. Wallace broke down in tears after he returned to his parked No. 23 Toyota, the car number picked for co-owner Jordan, who wore 23 in the NBA. “This is for all the kids out there that want to have an opportunity and whatever they want to achieve, and be the best at what they want to do,” Wallace said as he choked back tears. “You’re going to go through a lot of (BS). But you always got to stick true to your path and not let the nonsense get to you. “Stay strong. Stay humble. Stay hungry. Been plenty of times when I wanted to give up.”,Wallace went to a makeshift victory lane inside an empty garage stall to celebrate with his team, which made a personnel change three races ago and named Bootie Barker his crew chief. It was the first victory for Barker in more than 400 races as a Cup crew chief. The organization was formed a year ago and Wallace was the centerpiece based on all the corporations that entered NASCAR in support of Wallace and his social justice efforts. 23XI will expand to two cars next season with former series champion Kurt Busch joining the team. No playoff drivers won a race at Talladega this weekend — Trucks, Xfinity and Cup all had first-time winners for the first time at the same track on the same weekend — and only Hamlin is locked into the third round of the Cup playoffs headed into next week's elimination race at Charlotte, North Carolina. Hamlin, a three-time Daytona 500 winner, celebrated with Wallace following his own seventh-place finish. “It’s just way more emotional because I know how difficult it is. These guys have worked so hard over the last 10 months to put this team together, Hamlin said. We’re still in the beginning stages of our team. We’re still growing. We’ve got some great things on the horizon. It’s just a great morale booster for everyone.”,Keselowski finished second and was followed by Team Penske teammate Joey Logano in a pair of Fords. Busch was fourth in a Chevrolet. Kevin Harvick, Christopher Bell, Alex Bowman and William Byron head to Charlotte in danger of elimination. UP NEXT,The final race in the second round of the playoffs is at The Roval at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The hybrid road course/oval is where the field of 12 will be trimmed to eight. Chase Elliott is the two-time defending race winner at The Roval. His victory last October was his first of three wins in the final five races that lofted Elliott to his first Cup championship.

In a tragic end to the NASCAR Cup Series race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, two major incidents were caused when the curb in the turns 5-6 double bend was removed and multiple race cars ended up crashing. ,Nine drivers were officially involved according to NASCAR. There were no injuries, according to NBC News reports.,The section of the track was first created for the inaugural IndyCar Grand Prix in 2014. The chicane acts as a shortcut to the previous interior loop design and was done to increase passing at the end of Hulman Boulevard into turn 7.,But going into the race, there was already a lot of contention about the aforementioned point on the track. After numerous cars got airborne during the doubleheader races, NASCAR removed one of the curbs, a raised edge connecting the road median and the track, in that part of the track during the end of the Xfinity Series race on Sunday. The other curbs did not appear to have been disturbed overnight.,However, during the stage breaks, marshals were seen taking sledgehammers to the curb in an attempt to keep it bolted to the ground. ,But the makeshift repair could only last until the 77th lap of the 82-lap race.,After a late-race restart, a piece of debris was seen flying right following which Martin Truex Jr. spun into the tire barriers. On the very next lap, the initial few cars went across the aforementioned curb without issue until William Byron’s car hit it. ,Mayhem unveiled as Byron’s car spun, followed by Kyle Busch’s car, while Joey Logano’s front splitter appeared to dig underneath the curb and launch his car into the tire barriers. ,Multiple other drivers -- including Daniel Suarez, Christopher Bell, and Ryan Preece -- crashed after hitting the curb.,Soon a red flag was issued, but rather than mending the curb at turn 6, NASCAR and IMS quickly removed it.,Without that curb, a curb behind it was exposed and caused another incident on the re-start. Tyler Reddick, Austin Dillon, Michael McDowell, Cole Custer and Martin Truex ended up crashing in the second accident.,Meanwhile, amid the madness, A.J.

Chaotic crashes caused in NASCAR race by faulty kerb on Indianapolis Speedway

Indianapolis

AJ Allmendinger took home the Brickyard 200 title on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway after cashing in the advantage of two frightening multi-car crashes, the leader getting spun out and a penalty — all in the final five laps.,This was Allmendinger's second NASCAR Cup start of the season. the 39-year-old raced to his second career Cup victory and gave Kaulig Racing its first win in only the organization's seventh series start.,But the 0.929-second victory over Ryan Blaney in the first Cup race on the 14-turn, 2.439-mile road course was marred by two huge pileups that brought out red flags.,The first crash happened with five laps to go, starting when pole-winning driver William Byron went over the curbing in the fifth turn and was sent off the course. Eight more drivers quickly followed him, immediately bringing out a yellow and eventually a red flag.,“It was so weird, I have never had that experience before, Byron said, saying he first noticed the problem when Kyle Larson went through the section just ahead of him. “I nailed something and tore it up.”,Track workers, who had been tending to the chicane throughout the race, eventually removed it and towed it away as fans cheered. Even Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles walked onto the track in a suit and tie, grabbed a broom, and helped clean the area.,When the engines restarted, nobody was sure what to expect or how to navigate the altered turn. A few moments later, seven more cars crashed in the same spot and again the race was halted.,NASCAR officials did not immediately report any significant injuries, according to the Associated Press inputs.,Organizers made one modification to the track overnight — removing a “turtle” in the sixth turn that had caused some trouble during Saturday's doubleheader. But it was the fifth turn that became problematic Sunday.,Some wondered whether fatigue from three days of practice, qualifying, and racing on the same course could have led to the deterioration of the curbing.,Drivers refused to speculate.,“I don't believe in luck but I feel like that was bad luck. Wrong place, wrong time. I went around as a passenger, knowing what was going to happen, Joey Logano said, AP reported.

Hendrick Motorsports’ driver William Byron earned his first career
victory on Saturday at the Daytona International Speedway. With this win, he booked
his berth in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. The other playoff berth was sealed
by Matt DiBenedetto, who earned the 16th and final Playoff position with a 12th
place effort. Seven-time series champion Jimmie Johnson finished 17. Johnson,
who is retiring from full-time, congratulated the winners.,“First and foremost, congratulations to my teammate for getting his first
Cup win like that,” NASCAR quoted Johnson as saying.,<b>Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://opoyi.com/lewis-hamilton-wins-belgian-grand-prix">Lewis Hamilton wins Belgian Grand Prix</a></b>,“This setting and the drama that goes into it, that’s a big win for [crew
chief] Chad Knaus and William Byron, really happy for those guys,” Johnson
continued.,“I really feel like we had a way to transfer to win or point our way in
the way it went the first two stages and things just got ugly in Turn 1.
Unfortunate, but that’s plate racing,” Johnson said.,“We had a really good car and last couple months we’ve been really
getting our act together and running well. Really disappointed to not be in the
Playoffs. That was the number one goal to start the year,” Johnson further
added.,<b>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://opoyi.com/i-looked-up-to-him-lewis-hamilton-pays-tribute-to-chadwick-boseman">'I looked up to him': Lewis Hamilton pays tribute to Chadwick Boseman</a></b>,According to a report in NASCAR, Byron took the lead from Denny Hamlin on
an overtime restart with two laps to go. With cars spinning out behind him, he
was ultimately able to hold off his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott
by a blink-of-the-eye .119-second.,Hamlin finished third, followed by his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Martin
Truex Jr. Richard Petty Motorsports’ driver Bubba Wallace turned in a
season-best fifth-place finish. Ryan Blaney, Alex Bowman, Brendan Gaughan,
Chris Buescher and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top-10.,“I’m just extremely blessed and this is incredible,” said Byron.,“It’s been a hard couple of years in the Cup Series and trying to get my
first win and gel with this team. These guys did an awesome job today and got
us in the Playoffs and it’s amazing. This is probably the hardest track to
points-race,” said Byron who only had a four-point advantage over Johnson for
the final playoff transfer position entering the race. ,The 10-race NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs begin next Sunday.
