Coming into the weekend, it looked as though Mother Nature was poised to dominate the weekend at Dover Motor Speedway, with a gloomy three-day forecast that suggest headaches would be imminent.

However, it ended up being the Truex family that conquered the one-mile concrete oval, with Ryan and Martin Truex, Jr. sweeping the weekend with the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Cup Series events.

The NASCAR Cup Series champion completed the weekend sweep on Monday, nearly a day after the race was originally scheduled to conclude, as a result of a dreadful weather forecast on Sunday, which forced the sanctioning body to postpone the race.

Ross Chastain, Ryan Blaney, William Byron, and Denny Hamlin completed the top-five. Christopher Bell, Tyler Reddick, Brad Keselowski, Chris Buescher, and Josh Berry completed the top-10.

Just seven races into the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, GMS Racing has elected to replace the crew chief of the No. 43 Chevrolet Silverado, after a difficult start to the season for driver Daniel Dye.

Blake Bainbridge, who has served as crew chief of the No. 52 Halmar Friesen Racing Toyota Tundra TRD Pro in five of the first seven races this season, will take over as crew chief of the entry, starting with Saturday’s event at Kansas.

Bainbridge will replace Travis Sharpe in the position after Sharpe was promoted to crew chief in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for the first time in his career. Sharpe and GMS Racing have amicably parted ways, per the team.
