    Last week I left off the road course winner in Cup, but it was Christopher Bell who picked up his first career win. He drives for Joe Gibbs Racing.
    Did you notice all three races last weekend at Daytona were won by drivers in a Toyota. Ben Rhodes victory was the 200th win for Toyota in the Truck Series.
    This week at Homestead the weather was perfect, but I found the race a little boring except for the end of the stages and the end of the race itself. The eventual winner was William Byron which gave NASCAR its third different winner in as many races.Denny Hamlin had to start at the end of the field after making an adjustment postinspection. He fought back to the front only later to have a pit road speed infraction which moved her to the rear again. Martin Truex Jr. was probably just a couple of laps from winning the race as his car seemed to get stronger as the race progressed. Tyler Reddick had another strong showing coming in second. Three different winners not from the top of the series will have implications on the field of 16 for the playoffs and puts a lot of pressure on established favorites to get to the winner’s circle.
    The Xfinity Series saw Myatt Snider get his first win after Noah Gragson rear ended a lap car ending his day.Daniel Hemric took out his tire changer as he pulled into the pit during the race, but after medical attention the pit crew member was cleared and worked the race on Sunday.
    Micheal Waltrip announced last week he will return to the track as a driver in the SRX series. Theseries will kick off races starting on June 12 at Stafford Motor Speedway.
    Chip Gnassi found out just how stringent NASCAR is with their COVID-19 policy as he brought a nonessential person into a restricted area. He was fined $30,000 and was suspended from the race at Homestead.     
    Jaski.com is reporting that Kyle Busch will run a Super Late Model for Double L Motorsports at the Bristol Dirt Nationals (March 19-20) in preparation for the NASCAR races at Bristol.
