The NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series both had great races this weekend in Dover and Las Vegas.  Here is a recap of both races.

Monterey, Mexico’s Daniel Suarez took a dominate win on Sunday in the Drive Sober 200 at Dover.  He finished 5.625 seconds ahead of runner-up Ty Dillon, who passed Justin Allgaier on lap 155 for second.  It was Suarez’s second career win and second win of the season.  “I’m very proud of this team-the 19 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry,” Suarez said in Sunoco Victory Lane.  “They did a really good job today, and the guys just brought an amazing car.  We had a ton of speed.  This is one of those races you would feel bad to loose.”  Here are the current Chase standings.
