Логано выигрывает возрожденный Кубковый гонку в Норт-Уилкесборо, где NASCAR подчеркивает религиозные темы
Джоуи Логано одержал свою первую победу в Кубковой серии за более чем год на вновь возрожденном треке North Wilkesboro Speedway, а в программу уик-энда вошло событие серии грузовиков с откровенной религиозной символикой и победой Бретксона Буша.
Джоуи Логано secured his first NASCAR Cup Series win in over a year Sunday night at the revived North Wilkesboro Speedway, leading 323 of the 450 laps and holding off Denny Hamlin at the finish. The race marked the track's return to the Cup schedule after a 30-year hiatus and featured a relatively small lead-lap field, with six cars finishing on the lead lap.
The weekend also included the NASCAR Truck Series race titled the "FaithFest 250," which displayed religious messaging on track signage. Brexton Busch, son of the late Kyle Busch, won the Truck race, his first victory since his father's death in May. Busch’s win was noted by his sister Samantha on social media, who posted a video of his celebratory bow.
The revival of North Wilkesboro drew a sizable crowd, and organizers highlighted the event as a nod to NASCAR’s historical roots, featuring traditional track elements such as manual scoring pylons and classic signage.
"I want to proclaim Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God," a statement made during the pre-race invocation was reported by event officials.
The weekend’s programming combined competitive racing with overt religious references, drawing mixed reactions from fans and commentators.
