2020 NASCAR Cup Series - Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500

The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs continue at Texas Motor Speedway for the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 and because of the rainfall happening at the Lone Star State, the race got interrupted, then delayed twice until Wednesday. What a long wait for the NASCAR fans itching to find out who will make it to the Championship 4.

Sunday afternoon in Texas, the green flag waved and the fight for the Championship 4 continues. However, with over 50 laps elapsed, rain has come and the race went for an immediate pause. They said they will continue on Monday but it's still wet so they've delayed it to Tuesday. Sadly, it's still wet in Texas, so they've delayed it again to Wednesday.

It's Wednesday and as the weather normalizes, the race continues and at last, Clint Bowyer takes Stage 1. Moving on Stage 2, things are getting dramatic in Texas as Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliott are experiencing some issues on their cars, causing them to head to the pits again and again. Kyle Busch nicked Stage 2. With the climax approaching rapidly, it's everybody's game.

Screengrab from NASCAR

With his fuel-saving tactic worked, Kyle Busch, who was eliminated from the Playoffs, won the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series.

After Texas, looks like Harvick, Hamlin, and Keselowski might have a chance to make it to the Final 4 while Bowman, Elliott, Truex Jr. and Kurt Busch are in the risk of being eliminated but you'll never know so expect surprises in store for them.

Who's in? Who's out? Find out in the final elimination race of the playoffs happening at Martinsville Speedway for the Xfinity 500 on the 1st of November, 2020. Don't miss it!
