Woke up this morning hoping it was a nightmare, but it really happened. Kyle Busch, one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history and one of my personal favorite athletes to watch, is gone. I really admired his talent on the track and passion in everything he did. RIP KB.

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

NASCAR makes it official with one of the coolest reveal videos of all time (you have to watch this!): First-ever race on an active military base next Father's Day weekend on Navy Base Coronado in San Diego. All three national series.

L390 | Top 8 stay out. Reddick wins race off of pit road and has Briscoe and Blaney between him and Gibbs. Hamlin Bell Elliott Larson Bowman top 5 as we come to the restart with eight laps left.

Sunny skies and jet driers working. It looks likely we’re going to get these final 14 laps in @MonsterMile!

L386 | Red flag for rain. If this is it, Hamlin will have his season-leading fourth win of the season.

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L384 | Chastain in the wall! Will the leaders pit or stay out with rain near the track?

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L370 | Good battle between the 11 and 20, but Hamlin is now pulling away. Can he repeat as the Dover winner? Rain still a factor.

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L337 | Caution's out for rain. Christopher Bell back out front after gambling on strategy, followed by Austin Dillon in second. Chase Elliott is first among cars who pitted in third.

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L325 | With rain on the doorstep, drivers are coming down pit road for tires and fuel! How will this shake up the running order? Leader Elliott on pit road on lap 327.

Checking in on the In-Season Challenge as we approach lap 300:

Gibbs (6th) vs. Reddick (8th)
JH Nemechek (24th) vs. Ty Dillon (26th), both one lap down

These matchups are coming down to the wire!

L285 | Chase Elliott has sailed away to an over 3-second lead while Hamlin passes Bowman for second. Meanwhile, storms are closing in on the racetrack.

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L264 | Unscheduled stop for @CBellRacing after a single car spin from the lead. @chaseelliott back out front.

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L205 | We are past halfway, which means this race is official should rain arrive. Bell assumes the lead, followed by Hamlin. Suarez in 3rd still needs to pit. Bowman, Byron, Elliott, Larson, Briscoe, Wallace, Gibbs the rest of the top 10.

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

SLOW STOP for the leader!! @Hendrick9Team has a problem with the jack on the left side. We'll see where @chaseelliott shakes out when the pit cycle is complete.

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L184 | Green flag pit stops underway, starting with @WilliamByron and @KyleLarsonRacin as we approach the halfway point of stage 2.

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L165 | @TeamHendrick and @JoeGibbsRacing make up the entirety of the top 8⃣. Bubba Wallace is the first non-HMS/JGR entry in ninth, and Kyle Busch rounds out the top 10.

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

Smooth pit stop by the @Hendrick9Team to keep @chaseelliott out front! Stage 2 about to go 🟢

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L120 | Stage 1 Complete. Chase Elliott holds off Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin for stage win. Byron, Bowman, Briscoe, Gibbs, Busch, Logano and Larson the rest of the top 10. Tire issues for Jones and Allmendinger at stage end.

#NASCAR | @Frontstretch | @MonsterMile

[Andrew Stoddard @AndrewMStoddard]

L100 | @AJDinger roaring to the front, up 7⃣ positions since the restart and into the top 10! @Alex_Bowman up 7⃣ spots and into the top 5! Closing in on the stage 1 break.
