Watch highlights of a dramatic conclusion in NASCAR’s curtain-raiser, supercross action and a Toyota Racing Series title fight instalment

Clash at Daytona

Daytona, Florida: Seven-time Cup series champion Jimmie Johnson in a Chevrolet won NASCAR’s traditional non-championship pre-season Clash race after triggering a multi-car pile-up when taking the lead.

The race was stopped three times due to rain and the final stoppage arrived shortly after the sizeable shunt. Poleman Paul Menard had dominated the invitation event made up of 2018 polesitters and previous Daytona winners, until Johnson’s attempt to take the lead from him removed Menard’s Ford and several others.

Toyota Racing Series

Taupo, New Zealand: The titanic title fight between Marcus Armstrong and Liam Lawson continued in the season’s penultimate meeting which took place in the weekend before last. It contained last no fewer than four races as the feature race that wasn’t held at Teretonga was added.

Armstrong entered the weekend with a 34-point table lead but Lawson spent the weekend eating at it, winning race one then getting a second place and two thirds from the remaining races. And while Armstong won the weekend’s final race he could only manage a third and eighth otherwise, and was not classified in race two after his front suspension failed which was compounded by starting race three from the back. It all resulted in Lawson leading the standings heading into the final three-race meeting at Manfeild.
