The weekend started with Elliott Sadler winning the NASCAR XFINITY Series race holding off a hard charging Denny Hamlin. Sadler nearly coughed it up in the closing stages but was able to win his 12th career event.
Then came Sunday's Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park which ended in controversy as John Hunter Nemechek and Cole Custer has a memorable finish that resulted in significant amount of contact and drag racing to the start-finish line. We will give our opinion on the finish and if NASCAR should have penalized either driver or both drivers for their actions.
That finish led to throwback weekend at Darlington Raceway and while the race was slow going it certainly had some entertaining features. Kevin Harvick dominated but a few bad pit stops cost him track position and cost him the victory. Martin Truex Jr was able to capitalize and win his 5th career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory and his 2nd of the 2016 season. Also, Tony Stewart made headlines, dumping Brian Scott under green flag conditions. We talk about the 2016 Bojangles Southern 500.
Plus we talk about Ryan Newman and Kyle Larson's penalty following the Southern 500 and how it will effect Newman and Larson going forward. Were the penalities too harsh? Should RCR appeal? Has NASCAR been consistant all season long with penalities?
