Jeff beat me to it, but Denny has a real good car during long runs. It just comes alive after some time

More like Kyle patiently waiting for Ryan’s tires to give way.

 

[2 Sweet]

Go Blaney!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I'm on DVR about 9 minutes behind reality, but Austin Dillon has really impressed me today. He's made 2 tires work twice today.

 

[RowdyBusch]

More like Kyle patiently waiting for Ryan’s tires to give way.

Shouldn't take 60 laps for the fastest car on fresher tires to catch and pass an also-ran

 

[JJ_14]

Blaney is a likeable guy. Wouldn't mind seeing him in VL. What a way for Penske to start the season if that happens.

 

[DIDIT]

Dag nab it

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Peace out KDB

 

[DUN24]

Blaney is pissed. Bullins just told him to start saving. Lmao

 

[jws926]

And with that pass....

 

[RowdyBusch]

Harvick struggling for a top 10 at Phoenix. Something's rotten in Denmark.

 

[Madman88]

Slower straights, quicker cornering.

that may explain not looking fast

 

[KodiakRusty89]

And that's it barring a caution. Helluva a good chase down and pass by the 18....

 

[Joker]

Blaney needed to give him a tap there. Now it's all over.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Yep, thats all tires.

Also not quite sure why Ryan’s team never seemed to tell him to take the high line away from Kyle.

 

[DewChaser988]

Blaney and Rowdy are 4 laps short

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Blaney and Rowdy are 4 laps short

Kyle will make it, he always does

 

[FLRacingFan]

Meh.

 

[JJ_14]

Harvick struggling for a top 10 at Phoenix. Something's rotten in Denmark.

New Ford body would be my guess.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

When Dillon outruns the pre race favorite Kevin Harvick

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Blaney and Rowdy are 4 laps short

How do you figure?

 

[FLRacingFan]

When Dillon outruns the pre race favorite Kevin Harvick

Track position.

 

[JJ_14]

Dillon in P5? That's nice to see.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

They really are going to push Kyle’s 200 wins vs Petty’s 200 CUP Wins. Unreal, it’s not the same. Apples vs Oranges

 

[Ventisca]

[DewChaser988]

How do you figure?

They last pitted at Lap 88, and the maximum fuel window at Phoenix is 84 laps

 

[DSquad48]

Dillon in P5? That's nice to see.

No gas

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

 

[FLRacingFan]

Dillon in P5? That's nice to see.

Jinx!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’ll take Jeff’s trophy case full of Winston Cups and race wins vs Kyle’s trophy case full of Xfinity and Truck trophies.

 

[JJ_14]

They really are going to push Kyle’s 200 wins vs Petty’s 200 CUP Wins. Unreal, it’s not the same. Apples vs Oranges

The thing is that Kyle is on pace for 300. That's where the debates are really gonna heat up if that happens.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

3 out of gas...ouch

 

[ToyYoda]

Blaney and Rowdy are 4 laps short

Truex certainly hopes so.

 

[DUN24]

If the 3 is out the 18 and 12 are screwed

 

[Madman88]

LOL , they make up the stats and comparisons and shove them down our throats and now say they aren't the way to look at it.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Uh Oh....Austin has to be lighting his crew on fire right now over the radio

 

[ChexOrWrex]

They last pitted at Lap 88, and the maximum fuel window at Phoenix is 84 laps

They had almost 20 pace laps.

 

[DUN24]

Blaney sputtering
