Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hi, everyone Rich back with the Cup race recap now
from Atlanta. So after qualifying only the number twenty two
of Joey Logano won the poll and started first and
held it for fifty laps until he was passed by
the number two of Austin Cindric, who kept it for
the rest of the first stage and wins it. So

(00:51):
after pitt stops, the number nine of Chase Elliott stayed
out and got the lead and was in front of
a twenty three car accident a few laps later behind
him that took out over half the field. So after
this big cleanup, the number fifty four of Ty Gibbs
stayed out and got the lead and held it for

(01:13):
a few laps, but with Atlanta being like a Daytona
and Talladega type track, there was multiple lead changes until
ty Gibbs got the lead back for eleven more laps
and then another caution for only a two car accident
this time, so after pit stops, the number forty eight

(01:33):
of Alex Bowman and number seventeen of Chris Busha exchanged
the lead of the race after the restart, and that
also happened at the end of the second stage between
the number forty five Tile Radick and the number nine
of Chase Elliott and the number forty five of Tile
Raddick wins the second stage by one tenth of a

(01:55):
second at the finish line, so after pit stops before
the final stage, the number forty eight of Alex Bowman
gets the lead and has it until lapour when he
was passed by the number six of Brad Keasalowski, who
held it for a few laps, and then there were
multiple lead changes until lap two forty three when the

(02:18):
forty eight of Alex Bowman gets the lead for five
laps and then a few more lead changes happen until
the last lap when the number nine got passed by
the number six of brass Keasalowski, but the number nine
of Chase Elliott holds on to the when the race

(02:39):
at his hometown track. So thanks as always for listening,

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line, engines pumping and thumping
in time. The green light flashes. The flags go up,
churning and burning the yarn for the cup. They definitely
maneuver and muscleful, rank the burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild. They pour through the turns their powers.
It's potent, had secretly stern. As the speed through the finished,

(03:25):
the flags go down, the fans get up, and they
get out of town. The arena is empty except for
one man, still driving and driving as fast as they can.
The sun has gone down and the moon's come up,
and long ago somebody left with the cup. But he's
driving and striving and lugging the turns and thinking of
someone on. He still burns.
