Here is a look at the top managers in April and some of the memorable moments in the sport last month.
April -power ranking
1. Kyle Larson (last month 3rd)
Larson achieved a dominant victory on Bristol, with 411 off 500 laps, won three phases (two on Bristol and one on Talladega) and the first place in the series in the stage points achieved in April with 39. He followed the Bristol victory with a second place in Talladega. It was enough to compensate his Darlington when he turned in the early rounds and damaged his car. His team needed about 160 rounds to repair the vehicle before returning to the race. Even with the incident, Larson took third place in the series in points scored 115 in April.
2.. William Byron (2nd)
He did not win a race in April, but scored the most points (130). Byron finished second in Darlington after leding the first 243 rounds, placing sixth on Bristol and was third on Talladega. He won two phases in the month.
3.. Denny Hamlin (5th)
He was second for the month in points with 119. He won on Darlington, finished second on Bristol and was 21st place on Talladega. He had 28 stage points in the month.
4. Austin Cindric (NR)
The Talladega winner finished fourth in points scored by 97. He also finishes 11th on Darlington and 17th on Bristol in the month.
5. TY GIBBS (NR)
He had two top -10s in the three of April races, which was third on Bristol and ninth on Darlington. His other finish was 17th place at Talladega. He moved from 31 to 22nd in the standings with his 92 points performance in April.
Those just miss the top five
Chase Elliott – He scored 90 points in April, with the finish of eighth (Darlington), 15th (Bristol) and fifth (Talladega).
Tyler Reddick – He scored 90 points in April with the final of the fourth (Darlington), 14th (Talladega) and 18th (Bristol).
Joey Logano vs. …
The month began with Ross Chastain, saying that he was “confused” by what Joey Logano said after the Martinsville race about him, and that to mention me that the names are not appreciated. I don’t think I don’t think. ‘
Logano was critical of how Chastain chased Martinsville and said, ‘He just chases like a fox every week and I pay the price. I’m sick of paying the price. ‘
Chastain answered a few days later by saying, “Honestly, quite disappointing that it would do, to take feelings he had from Cota and other breeds, and then take Martinsville and climb out and just explode it.”
Ross Chastain discussed the comments made by Joey Logano this past weekend.
The month concluded with Logano who is in a feud with the Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Chipper Jones.
It started when Logano walked around on the radio about teammate Austin Cindric who did not help him win Phase 2 on Talladega, through which Bubba Wallace could.
Jones criticized Logano on social media for not being a proper team player by criticizing Cindric in such a way. Logano was unaware of Jones’ remarks before telling it during an appearance on SiriusXM Nascar radio.
Logano’s response? “Has Chipper Jones ever driven a race car at Talladega? That would be my first question. I’m pretty sure he didn’t. ‘
Joey Logano told SiriusXM Nascar Radio that he and Austin Cindric talked about what happened at the end of the stage two on Talladega.

Social Media Moment of the Month
Scott Graves, crew head of Chris Buescher, was not satisfied with Denny Hamlin in Talladega.
The pressure of Hamlin changed Christopher Bell in Chris Buescher and both cars destroyed Turn 2 on a restart.
Graves went to social media to criticize Hamlin, while also noticing the sponsor of Hamlin for the race, Progressive Insurance.
This team works so hard every week, our manager has been in position for the end of Phase 1, and the guys who would consider themselves some of the best drivers in the world can’t even start again. I see why you have an insurance sponsor @dennyhamlinCan I submit a claim?

Look forward to May
May 4 – Texas
May 11 – Kansas
18 May-All-Star Race in North Wilkesboro
24 May-Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte
All three points races in May are at 1.5 mile tracks. Those types of traces provided some of the best races with the following Gen.
The May 11 race on Kansas Speedway will be the final track in the usual season that will also host a play -off match. The series has already chased Playoff Tracks in Darlington, Bristol, Las Vegas, Talladega, Martinsville and Phoenix.
Kyle Larson will also try to compete on both Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on May 24. Again, last year put his effort on hold and he only ran the Indy 500.
