A season-high 18 caution flags, NASCAR overtime engaged not once, but twice and a 51-race wineless streak snapped.
Sunday’s (Sept. 13th) running of the Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway saw Kyle Larson make his triumphant return to victory lane on a chaotic day.
Stock Car Scoop host Eric Schneck breaks down the caution-filled race that exceeded the advertised distance, numerous brake failures and plenty of Chase participants getting caught up in the trouble.
Joining Schneck are Frontstretch trackside reporters Landon Quesinberry and Stephen Stumpf, who give their thoughts on the day at Gateway, including Larson’s surge at the right time and the numerous amount of brake failures from Sunday afternoon.
To close out the show, Schneck takes a look at the top 16 in points and previews next weekend’s night race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
