NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series:
Last Race: Sunday March 13th: Phoenix Raceway, Phoenix AZ: Break-through for Chase Briscoe! This one came down to 3 guys looking for their first Cup win. After holding off Chase Elliott over a long green flag run and then Ross Chastain and Tyler Reddick on a pair of late-race restarts, Chase Briscoe drove away from them to tally his first career Cup win in his 40th start. Briscoe is the 200th different driver to win a race in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series, and also brought Stewart-Haas Racing's No. 14 back to Victory Lane for the first time since 2018. Briscoe is the second first-time winner this season, and the third in the last 10 races.
Cup Points into Atlanta: TBD
Next Race: Sunday March 20th: The Atlanta Motor Speedway.
