NASCAR announces that Chase Elliott has been suspended for wrecking Denny Hamlin at Charlotte.
In NASCAR, winning is rare, and only a few drivers who compete in NASCAR are realistically in contention to stand in victory lane at the end of a given race. That does not mean winless streaks cannot be surprising or frustrating. Some drivers have gone to great length to end long winless streaks, and here are the five craziest ways drivers have ended winless streaks.
As was mentioned during the drivers who dominate piece, World Wide Technology Raceway is one of the most unique race tracks in NASCAR. An egg-shape like an inverted Darlington, but a 1.25 mile length unlike any other track on the schedule. With tracks the most similar to it being 1.0 mile tracks like Phoenix and New Hampshire, what are the drivers who tend to struggle at places like Gateway?
Hamlin took to his podcast Actions Detrimental to discuss the incident with Elliott, and he did not mince words.
World Wide Technology Raceway is a unique race track. The egg-shaped track is the only NASCAR track that is 1.25 miles long, and it is very flat with 11 degrees of banking in turns one and two and nine degrees in turns three and four. The question becomes, is WWT Raceway more of an intermediate track like a Nashville or a Darlington, or is it more like a intermediately short track like a Phoenix or a New Hampshire?
While there is no direct comparison to WWT Raceway, the banking and type of racing is more consistent with tracks such as Phoenix or New Hampshire. With this in mind, which drivers tend to dominate on 1.0 mile race tracks?
World Wide Technology Raceway just outside of St. Louis may be relatively new to the Cup Series calendar, but it has carved a place into NASCAR history particularly through the lower series. During that time, plenty of great races have happened at the track.
