Alex Bowman Delivers Top-Five at Bristol

Alex Bowman needed a result that did not seem as automatic as some believed. The No. 48 car did find a way to charge forward when it counted. Bowman was just 14th after Stage 1 and 15th after Stage 2. He made up quite a bit of time in the end as he ran out […]

Ryan Blaney Sneaks Into Fourth Place at Bristol

Ryan Blaney lurked around most of the night. The Team Penske car then led 45 laps, out of almost nowhere. In the end, he battled back to a fourth-place result on Saturday night as he was sandwiched between William Byron and Alex Bowman. Blaney holding off Bowman was an interesting subplot over the final laps […]

William Byron Surprises Many, Finishes Third at Bristol

William Byron had to feel like deja vu was coming once again. He was starting 14th and was out of the playoff Round of 12 coming into the night. Byron was only tenth after Stage 1 and briefly had fallen out of the top ten during Stage 2. It looked like time was not on […]

Kevin Harvick Rides Rough to Second at Bristol

Kevin Harvick raced like vintage Kevin Harvick. Yes, it ruffled some feathers like Chase Elliott's but the result was a second-place finish at Bristol on Saturday.
