2023 NASCAR Cup Series - EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix

The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series continues at Circuit of the Americas for the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix with special guest appearances by former F1 drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button.

As the green flag waved, the first road course action of the season is on with a caution triggered by a multi-car incident. As the race restarted, Austin Cindric is in the lead until Tyler Reddick came out of nowhere to grab it. As the race intensifies, another incident occurred and it's an unlucky day for the #5. As William Byron wins Stage 1, Stage 2 saw even more drama with the #12 getting nudged by the #5. With Reddick nailing another stage win, the finale is peak wild with another caution triggered by the debris on the course, followed by a stopped car on the course, and the messiest restarts in COTA.
