William Byron secures his first NASCAR Cup Series win of the season at the Circuit of the Americas [COTA] for the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. Across the 68 laps at COTA Byron led a total of 42 laps around the circuit.

Christopher Bell finished in second place with race favourite Ty Gibbs in third place, making it his fifth straight top ten finish this season. Bell was gaining on Byron throughout the race but did not have what it took at the end of the race to catch and pass the race leader.

This weekends racing bought a different challenge to the drivers compared to last week. The NASCAR Cup Series raced on a street circuit this weekend instead of an oval and had to deal with the 20 different corners around COTA. The corners also led to several track limits penalties being handed out to the drivers throughout the 68-lap race.

Both stage one and two were won by different drivers who refused to pit and stayed out for the extra ten points. These drivers were Christopher Bell and last weekends race winner, Denny Hamlin.

This weekend saw another twist in the Championship as Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr came to COTA with the lead in the Championship. But Larson could only manage 18th with Truex Jr in 10th.
