NASCAR compares Noah Lyles’ Olympic 100M win to Atlanta photo-finish

An exhilarating finish to the men’s 100m resulted in a Noah Lyles victory and an apt comparison from NASCAR. On a day like today, all Americans can celebrate racing, on foot and in a car.

The finish to the 100m was a three-wide, four-wide affair. It was hard to tell who had won the race as the field came across the line. The finish was so close it reminded folks of another race finish…

Of course, I’m talking about the three-wide ending to the Atlanta race this season. Daniel Suárez, Ryan Blaney, and Kyle Busch three-abreast across the line.

That NASCAR race was decided by 0.003 seconds. Noah Lyles won his race by 0.005 seconds. An apt comparison, if you ask me.

Kishane Thompson appeared to be the winner. However, a late charge from Lyles in the final 50m, his trademark at this point, solidified the win for USA. Fred Kerley picked up his second Olympic medal in third place. Kerley was runner-up in Tokyo.

Noah Lyles did what he sought to do. Now, he has a 200m gold medal to chase.

This is a developing story…
