NASCAR is in Bristol, Tennesee today and Stage 1 results are in! Stage 1 flew by, with Bristol Motor Speedway being one of the shorter NASCAR tracks. With 500 laps in total for today’s race, drivers flew through the first stage. Kyle Larson owned the majority of the first of three stages. Tires are a big focus point today in conversations at today’s race.
The top 10 drivers raced furiously around the high banked track after easing into the first few laps, which again, most say are due to the tires. Once Larson got comfortable, he led with high speed and many followed suit. Who are you rooting for today, and did they make it into the top 10 for Stage 1 results?
