Well that was a fun race to watch. Chase Elliott gave one of the most dominating performances I can remember in recent years. The guy not only won the pole, but he ended up leading 80 out of 90 laps. That’s almost 90% of the race. Plus, Bubba Wallace spun Kyle Busch, and that was funny.

Silly Season 2020 has claimed its first casualty. This week, David Ragan announced he will retire from full-time competition at the end of this season. In his 13 years in the Cup Series, Ragan scored two wins (2011 Coke Zero 400 at Daytona and 2013 Aaron's 499 at Talladega) and peaked at 13th in the points standings in 2008.

Front Row's David Ragan reveals he's stepping down from full-time competition at end of season

 

Silly Season 2020 just claimed another casualty. Matt DiBenedetto confirmed today that he will leave Leavine Family Racing at the end of this season. Rumor has it that since LFR is affiliated with Joe Gibbs Racing, Erik Jones will be transferred to the No. 95 while rookie Christopher Bell will take over the JGR No. 20.

Matt DiBenedetto reveals he's not returning to Leavine Family Racing

 

It’s amazing no one was seriously hurt. I’m just glad it’s not another Davey Allison/Alan Kulwicki/Colin McRae situation

 

Or another Hendrick family tragedy.

 

It's Bristol, baby, as all three major NASCAR divisions go around The Last Great Colosseum this weekend.

Despite his car failing pre-race inspection that forced him to start at the back of the field and serve a pass-through penalty on lap 1, Tyler Reddick overcomes all the odds to win at Bristol while Kyle Busch's chances of spoiling the party go up in smoke with a blown engine and several playoff contenders get caught in various wrecks.
