William Byron finished 10th in the Clash. Before the race, the Hendrick Motorsports driver said he agreed with NASCAR moving up the race and then offered an interesting solution for similar situations in the future and it's based on a process used in the NFL. Click to read story.
 
Tuesday
 
Joey Logano and Ty Gibbs renewed their rivalry from the 2023 season inside the Coliseum and the two-time Cup champion confronted the young Joe Gibbs Racing driver at his hauler after the race. The Penske driver appeared on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio and talked about it.

He also discussed his relationship with former rival Kyle Busch and how it's dramatically changed, revealing he told the Richard Childress Racing driver he would give him a ride if he ever needed one late at night. Click to read story. 
 
Wednesday
The NASCAR world reacted to a late Tuesday interview on SXM Radio with Tony Stewart for his harsh words on Stewart-Haas Racing and its lackluster performance over the last couple of years.

Interestingly, days before on the same channel, Chase Briscoe offered more details on the issues within the organization and surprisingly admitted he never felt like he was working together with Kevin Harvick and Aric Almirola. Click to read story.
  
 
Thursday
 
Bristol Motor Speedway has been a hot topic of conversation the last few years with the spring race running on dirt. The 2024 edition will return to the traditional concrete surface.

On Thursday, RFK Racing co-owner/driver Brad Keselowski made laps around the half-mile track under wet conditions testing out rain tires. It was a sight many never thought possible and gives hope to racing at The Last Great Colosseum in the future in less-than-ideal weather. Click to watch the video.
 
They Said It
Joey Logano on Ty Gibbs after the Clash: "Now where do we go from here? I don't know. We had a conversation. He said all the right things. His words don't mean nothing to me anymore."

Dale Jr. on the future of the Clash: "I'm of the opinion that it doesn't need to be going around to all these other race tracks. It doesn't need to go to Mexico. It doesn't need to go to Canada. It doesn't need to go back to the Coliseum. It needs to go back to Daytona."

Denny Hamlin on his father not liking him using the phrase about beating your favorite driver: "He said too cocky. You need to just concentrate on this, that, and the other. Since it's my dad, I will heed to his advice."

Tony Stewart on Stewart-Haas Racing: "We've had two miserable years in a row and I'm tired of taking the blame from everybody why the cars aren't running good."
