Austin Dillon avoided a massive wreck in the rain to win at Daytona International Speedway and snag a playoff spot in the Cup Series’ regular-season finale.
Despite a blood clot scare, a chance to call NFL games and the bumpy start of the NIL era, Kirk Herbstreit’s heart still belongs to college football.
“Just throw the caution before the rain came,” Hamlin said, adding that “better officiating” is needed. “We had rain down the front, so about 10 seconds before we got into Turn 1, it was raining. I’m sure the fans felt it, and then they watched us all pile in there.” Inclement weather was a factor all weekend. Thunderstorms delayed the Xfinity Series race Friday night and pushed the Cup race from Saturday to Sunday morning. More rain was in the forecast Sunday, and dark clouds had surrounded the track for at least half an hour before several drivers reported seeing raindrops on the previous lap.Only 18 cars stayed on track once the green flag dropped, and only 10 finished on the lead lap.
Busch declined to get into contract negotiations Saturday, refusing to say whether he has turned down a previous offer from JGR.
