2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series - Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race

The 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series returns at Bristol Motor Speedway, "The Last Great Colosseum" as the track says, for some hot summer night action in the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race and what a night this race is. Besides, it's Bristol, baby!

The action at "The Last Great Colosseum" in the dead of the night is all about packing some heat after dark when the green flag went off and as observed on the first stage, Austin Dillon hits the wall on Lap 80 and Jimmie Johnson got caught by the collision, triggering a yellow flag, after that, Kyle Larson won Stage 1. In Stage 2, Kurt Busch wins and the endgame is just too awesome to miss.

In the endgame, Denny Hamlin made a sudden charge by overtaking Matt DiBenedetto to the lead and worked all the way to winning the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race.

With only two races to go before the playoffs, feels like playtime's almost over for the NASCAR boys as they get their serious game faces on to survive until the end of the season but who's got the edge? Find out at Darlington Raceway for the Bojangles' Southern 500 this September 1st.
