Denny Hamlin takes out the Bristol night race, advancing to the round of 12 in the process. There will be no fairy tale final season for Kevin Harvick, he was one of four drivers eliminated from the playoffs along with reigning champion Joey Logano, Daytona 500 winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr and Michael McDowell.

There are fewer people attending NASCAR at TMS than there were at Indycar races, which were notoriously bad, 10-15 years ago. NASCAR races that looks deserted are weird.

Okay, so two cars have lost their wheel rims within a few laps. Not tyre carcasses, but wheel rims. Weird.

Spire Motorsports has bought Kyle Busch Motorsports and Rowdy Manufacturing. KBM has won a total of 100 Truck series races since making its debut in 2010, 48 of those were won by Busch.

It's the latest move by Spire to dramatically upscale their operations following the purchase of the LiveFast #78 charter. The investment is coming from sponsor Gainbridge, who are owned by Group 1001 and are worth approximately 60 Billion dollars.

The Truck post-race at Dega was quite something.

Started with Matt Crafton and Nick Sanchez coming together and causing The Big One....


...and ended with Sanchez bloodied and tossing death threats after getting cheap-shotted by Crafton.

Harvick DSQ'd from 'Dega.

Post race it seems Harvick failed post race checks with a 'windshield violation' lwhich resulted in aTalladega DSQ from 2nd.

It seems the windshield fasteners must be secure, and were not throughout the entire event. Harvick's fasteners were not secure. The violation falls under two sections of the NASCAR Rule Book: 14.5.6.2.F (windshield) and 14.1.E&P (overall assembled vehicle rules).

Harvick crossed the finish line second by 0.012s to Ryan Blaney in a photo finish.

Due to the disqualification, Harvick will be credited with a 38th-place finish (last) and one point. He does not get credit for finishing eighth in the second stage or the points awarded for the effort.

No right to appeal. Its done and dusted

All of the other cars passed post-race inspection. However, NASCAR is taking four cars to its Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C., to check engines from all of the Cup Series engine builders. Those going to the R&D Center’s engine dynamometer are the No. 24 (Hendrick Engines); the No. 11 (TRD); the No. 31 (ECR); and the No. 41 (Roush Yates Engines).
