Well Darlington was a fairly decent race today. Kyle Larson led about 3/4 of the race but Chase Briscoe went three wide down the backstraight on a late restart and got past him, then held off Kyle Busch to win his way into the playoffs. Tough for Busch who finished 2nd for the second week in a row and missed out on a chance at the championship.

23XI and Front Row just filed an anti-trust lawsuit against NASCAR

[erwin greven]

And very rightfully.

In short:

Front Row Motorsport and 23XI included a list of what they called anti-competitive practices from NASCAR leadership:

• Buying a majority of the premier racetracks that are exclusive to NASCAR races

• Imposing exclusivity deals on NASCAR-sanctioned racetracks

• Acquiring Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA), the only notable stock car racing series competitor

• Preventing teams from participating in any other stock car races, while also retaining ownership over Next Gen parts and cars

• Forcing teams to buy their parts from single-source suppliers chosen by NASCAR

Ricky Stenhouse wins a wild one at Talladega, complete with the biggest wreck in Cup series history involving 28 cars.
