NASCAR’s new villain picks another victim and fans want him parked, driver flies with Trump & ratings rebound?
William Byron won at Martinsville after leading 362 laps, while Kyle Larson finished ninth and goes to the season finale at Homestead needing only to finish to secure the championship. The race’s most disputed moment came further back, where Carson Hocevar repeatedly braked in front of Austin Cindric before causing a collision, drawing criticism from drivers and fans.
The article says this was Hocevar’s latest on-track controversy in a season with one race remaining. It also notes that NASCAR’s television ratings rebounded somewhat at Talladega after a poor Phoenix result, and that Austin Dillon travelled to Daytona with Donald Trump aboard Air Force One; it provides no figures for the ratings rebound.
In short
- Byron led 362 laps to win at Martinsville.
- Hocevar’s repeated brake checks ended in a collision with Cindric.
- Larson needs only to finish at Homestead to clinch the title.
