Here are the winners so far.  Only Byron and Bell matter for the playoffs but they are all impressive.  Five "real" races, five unique winners. 

From NASCAR:

A front-row lockout for 23XI Racing, and three Trackhouse Racing cars inside the top 10. It's shaping up to be a slugfest tomorrow at NASCAR at COTA!

COTA was a great road race.  NASCAR shortened the track this year and it was the best race at COTA yet, definitely a top tier road race. Oh, and make it two in a row for CBell. 

I thought of you here @TheDeuce and for anyone new to the sport.  Kevin Harvick's Happy Hour is very informative and if you want to learn NASCAR this is a good starting point.  It is free across several platforms.

 

Chris Bell made it three in a row at Phoenix.  

The Pennzoil 400 from Las Vegas starts at 330pm today.

Josh Berry wins at Vegas!  His first win!

I thought the same thing, I have been like, where's Hamlin!! 

Wow what a night.  This is from NASCAR.com and the picture is from Kyle Busch.  Dad and son racing against each other.  It is easy to like NASCAR. 

At just 9 years old, Brexton Busch raced his father, two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, head-to-head for the first time in competition Wednesday at Millbridge Speedway. The duo raced nose-to-tail with Kyle Busch fifth and Brexton Busch sixth for much of the night’s 20-lap feature in the 600cc Winged Micros class, but the elder Busch escaped to a third-place finish on the final restart with six laps to go while Brexton earned an impressive sixth-place result in the 20-car field.

Larson won at Homestead-Miami Speedway and Denny Hamlin won at Martinsville and Darlington.

Time for an update, Kyle Larson won at Bristol, NASCAR took their Easter break, and then Austin Cindric won at Talladega.  Texas Motor Speedway is up this weekend.  Here are the current driver standings.
