The greatest day in racing wrapped up on Sunday night with the NASCAR Cup Series from Charlotte Motor Speedway. Following a Coca-Cola 600 that saw quite a bit of chaos, with some of the top drivers, getting DNFs or ending in the back of the field, there’s some movement in the NASCAR standings after Charlotte.
Two of the top Cup Series points leaders coming into Sunday, Kyle Larson and Ryan Blaney, both recorded DNFs after an unfortunate crash in Stage 3. It provided a golden opportunity for the likes of Denny Hamlin, William Byron and even Carson Hocevar to make up some ground in the points race.
