Blaney is one of the most talented drafting track drivers, so he should be confident heading to Atlanta.WACO, Texas - A total of 19 former Baylor football standouts will participate in the annual pro day, which is slated for March 27. He ran in the back half of the top-10 all day before a great two-tire pit stop put him in contention to win. Ryan Blaneyīlaney nearly snapped his 49-race winless streak, but had to settle for second in Phoenix. After a surprise Championship 4 run last November, Bell is proving that his run was no fluke. He was third in Daytona, fifth in Las Vegas and then sixth in Phoenix.

Outside of a puzzling performance in Fontana, Bell has been knocking off great finishes in 2023. While Bowman hasn’t been quite as strong as his teammates Byron and Larson, he’s avoiding mistakes and finishing races well. He finished ninth in Phoenix – giving him four straight top-10s to open the season. Alex Bowmanīefore the penalties for Hendrick, Bowman was the points leader. Through four races, Harvick is yet to finish worse than 12th as his retirement tour is off to a strong start. Harvick finished fifth, giving him 20 (!) consecutive top-10 finishes at the track. He led 36 laps and clearly had the best long-run car, but the late yellows doomed his chances. During the overtime finish, Chastain’s longtime foe put him in the wall and he finished 24th – his first result outside the top-12 all season.īefore the final caution, Harvick was on his way to a 10th victory in Phoenix. Ross ChastainĬhastain had a respectable top-10 result going until Denny Hamlin had other plans. The newly-configured superspeedway in Atlanta could be a bounce-back opportunity after Busch ran so well at Daytona last month. The veteran driver still salvaged an eighth-place finish in Phoenix, but he was outside the top-10 for most of the race.

Kyle BuschĪfter a hot start to his first season with Richard Childress Racing, Busch has quieted down over the last two weeks.

If things went a little differently, it easily could’ve been Larson celebrating back-to-back wins for Hendrick. At Phoenix, he led a race-high 201 laps before losing the lead during the overtime finish. He was leading late at Las Vegas before a caution. Kyle Larsonĭespite recent finishes of second (Las Vegas) and fourth (Phoenix), Larson has to be wondering what could’ve been.

Two in a row! Teamwork, love working with these guys.
