Top teams not worried when NASCAR Cup Series takes only break in grinding schedule

But for the teams and drivers doing their best work now, it’s natural to wonder whether the break could slow their momentum right before the start of the 10-race sprint to the eight-race Cup playoffs.

“I mean, I don’t know if I want an off week,” Busch said Sunday, wearing the closest facial expression he ever makes to a smile. “Let’s go, right? We’re rolling right now.” Truex and his team also are on a roll, with two victories and four top-five finishes in the last six races. His only finish outside the top 10 in this stretch was last month at Darlington, where he won the pole and had a dominant car that led the most laps before collisions with Ross Chastain and Joey Logano knocked him out of the race.

The improvements by Truex’s JGR team and Toyota were the talk of the paddock after his dominant victory at Sonoma, with Gibbs and crew chief James Small praising their ability to learn from a disappointing 2022. They’re a clear championship contender after Truex went to the top of the overall driver standings in Sonoma.
