For the first time in the 2023 NASCAR Playoffs, we are going to have an elimination race. Kansas has set us up for the Bristol Night Race. It will be a showdown between a number of playoff drivers. There are only 12 spots for these 16 drivers to fight over.
A NASCAR tripleheader weekend, Kansas gave us three awesome races. There was a three-wide dash for the finish in the Craftsman Truck Series. In the Xfinity Series, the regular season finale had a ton of consequences for the final playoff spot.
Kansas ate up tires and even gave ARCA drivers fits this weekend.
To start the NASCAR weekend, the Truck Series playoffs continued. We had two drivers eliminated from the playoffs. We also saw the illegal part that Ty Majeski’s team had put on their tire at Milwaukee.
In the finish of the Truck Series, Christian Eckes, Zane Smith, and Corey Heim went three-wide on the final restart for the lead. Each of them put it on the line and it was the 19 of Eckes that came through for his second win of the season.
