NASCAR's return to racing has been a success so far.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR had been planning sweeping changes for 2021 in hopes of finding new fans and adding some energy to a staid, stale schedule.
Reigning champion and resident villain Kyle Busch angered fan favourite Chase Elliott, who flipped off his competitor after he was wrecked. A fox scampered across the track during a lull in what was a flat-out entertaining race. “It’d be kind of hard to fight when you have to stay six-feet apart. My arms aren’t long enough,” Elliott said.“I know it’s gained a lot of traction and there’s a lot of people talking about it, so that was ultimately a win for the sport,” Elliott said Friday. “It was a loss for me and my team, but … people love drama, they love talking about that stuff and they’ve been doing a lot of it.”
