2023 NASCAR Cup Series - Enjoy Illinois 300 presented by TicketSmarter

The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series continues in World Wide Technology Raceway for the Enjoy Illinois 300 presented by TicketSmarter, and because of the red flags involved due to lightning and a series of unfortunate events, it became a long day for a NASCAR race day.

As the green flag waved, the long day is on. The first stage saw Tyler Reddick go for a slide in Turn 1 until the race got red-flagged due to lightning. As the race is back on, Kyle Busch wins Stage 1.

When Stage 2 begins, the #34 car got nudged by Ross Chastain and spun while Carson Hocevar's NASCAR debut got shredded by the wall. As Ryan Blaney wins Stage 2, the final stage is where I really wish this day will never end. Noah Gragson got involved in a crash that triggered another red flag followed by a spin by Christopher Bell, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s red-flagging crash to name a few.
