TRUCKS RECAP

• Friday’s TSPORT 200, Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park WINNER: TY MAJESKI INDIANAPOLIS — Ty Majeski’s victory in Friday night’s TSport 200 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park wasn’t the sort of dominating performance he enjoyed last year— until the final stage of the race. Majeski overcame a restart violation on Lap 50 that sent him to the rear of the field but rallied to defend his 2023 victory at the 0.686-mile short track.

XFINITY RECAP

• Saturday’s PENZOIL 250, Indianapolis Motor Speedway WINNER: RILEY HERBST SPEEDWAY, Ind. – In one of the most dramatic Xfinity Series finishes in recent memory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Stewart-Haas Racing’s Riley Herbst took the lead in the final corner of the final lap to claim his first victory of the season in Saturday’s Pennzoil 250 – formally punching his ticket to the 2024 Playoffs.
