The first round of our NASCAR contest was an astonishing success. It was an exciting race that was finally decided in the final rounds, especially after an accident that occurred with 22 rounds left to go.
The race track found winners in the fastest drivers, like Erik Jones, one of the leaders in Saturday’s event. This is NASCAR’s second race of the year.
The Wise Power 400 took place at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. A total of 36 drivers were on the entry list posted for this event and they had to complete a total of 200 laps, which had spectators on the edge of their seats.

This season is the first for NASCAR’s new Next Gen car. This car replaces the Gen 6, which was used from 2013 to 2021.

The next race on the calendar will take place on Sunday, March 6, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway so be sure to put your picks prior to the start of the race!

Congrats to all the winners and remember you can still participate and win prizes at the end of the contest as well as individual prizes for each race!
