NASCAR history is filled with records that can’t be imagined being broken. One such record is Kyle Busch’s 19 consecutive seasons with at least one win (2005-2023). Rowdy failed to extend the streak in 2024. Nevertheless, he jumped over Richard Petty’s streak of 18 consecutive seasons with at least one win (1960-1977) before ending his. The driver closest to reaching this level of consistency is the three-time Cup Series champion Joey Logano.

Since last year marked his rookie campaign, few scrutinized Carson Hocevar’s results too harshly. In fact, he had set a realistic benchmark for himself — aiming to consistently finish inside the top 20 without biting off more than he could chew.

With Kyle Larson leading 411 of 500 laps, fans called the race dull, among many things. This has urged Denny Hamlin to speak up against the promotion’s inaction.
