Winner: Trackhouse Racing

Ross Chastain wasn’t all the time up entrance within the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet. And Shane van Gisbergen spun throughout the frontstretch grass twice all through the day.

However the two Trackhouse drivers have been up entrance when it counted. Chastain surged to 3rd within the additional time end, whereas SVG moved as much as sixth.

Whereas Chastain had the higher end, SVG had the higher story. He spun throughout the frontstretch grass on the finish of Stage 2 after Kyle Larson threw a nasty block, then spun once more off the fourth flip later within the race. SVG’s sixth-place end is a career-best on a non-road course monitor within the NASCAR Cup Collection with COTA up subsequent.

It wasn’t all good for Trackhouse, as Connor Zilisch completed thirtieth after being knocked out of the race within the Lap 224 crash talked about earlier.

However two within the high six? Proprietor Justin Marks and firm will take that.

Loser: Kyle Busch

To make the Chase, Kyle Busch should maximize alternatives at pack-racing tracks till RCR can run higher extra persistently at non-drafting ovals.

Final 12 months, Busch had 5 top-10 finishes on non-drafting ovals.

Quick ahead to Atlanta, the place Busch’s Lap 125 crash resigned him to a Thirty fourth-place end. Busch tried to slip up into a good area in entrance of Noah Gragson on the backstretch however misjudged the road’s momentum.

Busch did maximize his stage factors at Daytona regardless of ending fifteenth, and he did choose up 4 stage factors in Stage 1 at Atlanta.

However crashing out of the race through an unforced error cannot occur usually for a driver and group more likely to dangle across the Chase bubble all year long.

Loser: Ty Gibbs

Gibbs is within the midst of one other unhealthy begin to a Cup Collection season.

Gibbs, coming off of a Twenty third-place end at Daytona, crashed in Lap 82 after making contact with Josh Berry as the 2 tried to take the identical area in the course of the pack.

Each drivers’ days ended there.

The motive force of the No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota completed in thirty seventh. Gibbs has not proven the consistency to run properly usually sufficient within the Cup Collection to beat a string of unhealthy finishes and/or DNFs.

Commercial

That consistency, or lack of, shall be essential within the Chase period, and it is not a very good begin to 2026 for the 23-year-old.
