The 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 was finally over early on Monday morning due to rain that begins with a Denny Hamlin group battle between his own No.11 Joe Gibbs car and his 23XI employee of Bubba Wallace before he spun himself out off Turn 4 as the race had to be pushed back to Monday. Then we saw a William Byron & Kyle Busch Chevy dominance up front for the most part but at the end of the day, glad there’s a Toyota win to celebrate thanks to Denny’s other 23XI employee Tyler Reddick over in the No.45 team.
Huge day from 23XI once again with Reddick having a super day where he thanks these 2nd half cautions en route to his 2nd win of 2024 since the Spring Talladega race back in late April.
The tables will now turn now on Denny to hopefully get back into victory lane himself as a racer soon enough this weekend at Daytona, having caught back lots of time well to finish 9th. Meanwhile, Chevy weren’t bad with Byron 2nd (Hendrick), Kyle Busch 4th (Childress) & Daniel Suarez 8th (Trackhouse). Also good seeing two Spire cars in the Top 10 such as Zane Smith (7th) & Carson Hocevar once again from another stellar Top 10 run last week in Richmond (10th).
And shoutout to RFK Racing Ford who had an excellent day with co-owner Brad Keselowski 5th in his hometown event ahead team-mate Chris Buescher in 6th.
Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona here we come under the lights this weekend with two regular races to go before Playoffs.
