TOWNSVILLE, Australia — Matt Payne became the seventh different winner of the Repco Supercars Championship season after winning Sunday’s NTI Townsville 500. The Penrite Racing driver elected for a three-stop strategy during the 88-lap race at Reid Park, which proved to be the winning one as he led an all-Ford podium ahead of Saturday’s winner Cam Waters and Chaz Mostert.

Hailie Deegan’s partnership with AM Racing has come to an end. On Monday morning, the two sides announced they have parted ways during the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, effective immediately. AM Racing replaced Deegan with Joey Logano during the Xfinity Series race at the Chicago Street Course, which resulted in an eighth-place finish.
Deegan has really struggled in the No. 15 Xfinity car. In 2024, she had a best finish of 12th place at Talladega Superspeedway, with five straight finishes of 25th place or worse. Entering Chicago, the 22-year-old driver sat 27th in the point standings, the worst of any driver who had made every start throughout the 2024 NASCAR season at that point.
Now, the Xfinity Series organization will look for its next driver as it moves forward without her in its plans. As for Deegan, her plans are uncertain but she does hope to be back at the race track “soon.” Deegan and AM Racing’s partnership only lasted 17 Xfinity Series races before changes were made heading into Chicago last weekend.

Alex Bowman entered the Chicago Street Course on the playoff cut-line, and with new winners piling up, he needed a good run. However, no one could have expected what was to come outside of the No. 48 team. Bowman was able to get track position by staying out on rain tires and held off a hard-charging Tyler Reddick on slick tires.
It was Bowman’s first win in NASCAR since 2022 and the first since his back injury and concussion. Following the event, Bowman climbed out of his car and talked about the journey of returning to victory lane.
