Chase Briscoe won at Charlotte after edging teammate Christopher Bell at the finish, according to a Monday column published by Fox News Digital and OutKick. The column described it as the track’s second-closest NASCAR finish and its closest since 2005.
The result was Briscoe’s second consecutive victory. The column said Kyle Larson finished sixth and held a 49-point lead over Denny Hamlin with four races remaining in the 2026 season.
Bubba Wallace and Alex Bowman were involved in a hard crash during the race. The account said Bowman took responsibility, quoting him as saying he overcorrected and did a “s—t job.” The source did not provide further details about either driver’s condition.
The piece also mentioned a post-race altercation involving Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Michael McDowell, without explaining what led to it. It reported that a Hooters restaurant across from Daytona International Speedway had closed the previous week.
The source is a weekly commentary column, not a standalone race report. Its characterizations of the race and other incidents are the columnist’s views.
