Eight NASCAR Drivers Left Racing for $1 Million Bracket Challenge Prize

Ty Dillon continues his surprising run in NASCAR’s new in-season tournament, advancing as the $1 million bottom-ranked seed after defeating Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski to reach Round 3 of the five-week event. At Sonoma, Dillon faces another David vs. Goliath scenario, with Alex Bowman having advanced after a close contest against Bubba Wallace in Chicago. The upcoming Sonoma round also features a showdown between teammates John Hunter Nemechek and Erik Jones of Legacy Motor Club, both of whom barely escaped elimination in Chicago after Nemechek narrowly beat Chase Elliott.

Ryan Preece remains the last RFK Racing driver in the tournament, going up against Tyler Reddick, who had a relatively trouble-free Sunday in Chicago. The final matchups include Ty Gibbs versus Zane Smith; Gibbs has struggled this year but showed promise with a runner-up finish last weekend, while Smith has consistently advanced through tough rounds against other Ford drivers.

Motorsport.com’s predictions were shaky in the opening round but managed to accurately call six out of eight matchups leading into Chicago. Here is a complete summary of the Round 3 matchups at Sonoma Raceway:

– Alex Bowman (No. 8 seed) vs. Ty Dillon (No. 32 seed)
– John Hunter Nemechek (No. 12 seed) vs. Erik Jones (No. 20 seed)
– Ryan Preece (No. 15 seed) vs. Tyler Reddick (No. 23 seed)
– Ty Gibbs (No. 6 seed) vs. Zane Smith (No. 14 seed)

Fan Take: This tournament showcases the thrilling unpredictability of NASCAR, where underdogs like Ty Dillon can shake up the competition and keep fans engaged. It highlights competitive depth and storylines that could attract new viewers, making the sport more exciting for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
