Yes I am... dominant car, but I still thought Blaney was going to win once he got in the lead, and Penske would have been tough for anyone else to beat in Phoenix.

Pulling that one off now gives Byron a real chance at winning the Cup next week.

(Still feel bad for Bell not making it after the season he had)

I think it's the 24's to lose next week. Also, no Fords, so the domination of Team Penske comes to an end.

Fun fact:

I play golf Monday mornings with a former college and pro football coach, and he told me this morning that Penske's son has a place down here on the north end...

That is cool. Any idea if the son is involved with the race teams?

I don't specifically know, but this isn't a guy that follows nascar - but rather knows him from the Indy Car side... but when he told me he knew their Indy Car Ops had fired Tim Cindric earlier in the season, I knew that the names were synching up enough that he somewhat knew what he was talking about. And when I asked him if he'd ever met Rick Mears and he said maybe 2-3 times but doesn't "know" him, things were jiving enough for me at that point... can't give the guy the 20 questions action out on the golf course all at one time... without getting shut down on, lol.

I'll get a little more out of him next week.

*** did Shane Gray do to get suspended?

And Jr Motorsports with 3 drivers and RCR with the other

Believe so. I think it's Tanner and Taylor's dad?

I wouldn't mind seeing it come back.

I had forgotten about it already actually. Looked on Google Maps and it is literally in the middle of nowhere though, and I'm sure that probably had something to do with it. Who wants to be in a hotel and then still have to drive another hour + on race day.

What length track is it?

It's a 1.5. The track was somewhat finished before it even began.

.@NBCSports advertised the NASCAR championship at a Sunoco gas station in Philadelphia this past week with a mock pit crew that pumped gas, polished wheels and fixed a tire for people who pulled up to the pump.

Heim engine from last night has cleared tech. Heim is the champion.

Missed most of the race yesterday. Congratulations to Jessie Love and RCR Racing

Really pulling for Hamlin today

All four drivers have a good shot at winning this thing. 312 laps is a fast race, I have no idea who wins this. lol

The 11 is complaining about the clutch on the radio.

Great timing on that commercial there NBC…

I only needed for Briscoe to drift up a little higher there after that tire went… would have been all three in like 45 seconds, lol.

It's going to come down to the 11 and 24.

Still 70 laps left though.

True

Unless something crazy happens, Hamlin wins his championship…

Agree. I thought the 24 had something for him.

Hamlin deserved it today. Clearly the best car all day. Congrats, I'm happy for him.
