Everyone Rich back with the Cup race recap now from
Mexico City. So, after practice and qualifying, the number eighty

number two and seventeen, So when the race restarts, the
number fifty four off Ty Gibbs gets the lead after
passing the two cars that didn't take tires and holds
it for four laps until he was passed by the
number eighty eight of Shane van Gizenbergen, will hold it
until he pits with two laps to go in the

(00:54):
first stage, which gives the lead to the number sixty
of Ryan Priest of Connecticut, who holds it and wins
the first stage. So after Pitt stops, the number seventy
one of Michael mcdowald gets the lead. Buck got passed
right away by the number fifty four of Ty Gibbs,
who held it until he pitted with two laps to

to the number eighty eight of Shane van gis Abergen,
who keeps it for the finals, who laps and wins
the second stage, so before the final stage the number
eighty eight is still leading by staying out, but at
the restot gets passed by the number twentyth Christopher Bell,
who only held it for two laps until he was

The sun has gone down and the move has come.
