A late caution set up a pit strategy decision as several of those contending for the win elected to pit for new tyres while Elliott and nine others remained on the track. On the restart with four of 300 laps to go, Elliott easily cleared Kurt Busch for the lead with a push from Ryan

In a sport driven by characters that at times seemed larger-than-life – Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip, Richard Petty among them – Smith always seemed to be among the best at capitalising on their appeal to the masses.

Instead, it is fan engagement that stands out for him as the biggest deviation. Cindric attended his first F1 race in Canada last weekend and got to see up close how a real life grand prix

With 10 races remaining before the start of the 2022 playoffs, NASCAR has already seen higher TV ratings, strong race-day crowds and plenty of on-track action, particularly on intermediate tracks.
