Darn I like to see a driver with the same last name do well, at least Murphy can fall back on his Monster Jam career

Chastain’s No. 45 Chevrolet, will boast the JW Hunt paint scheme made famous by Troy, Ohio, native Jack Hewitt, a member of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame.

In 1998, Hewitt made history as the first driver to win all four legs of the USAC Four Crown Nationals. Among his other accomplishments: 13 USAC National Sprint Car Series feature wins, three USAC National Midget Car Series wins, eight USAC Silver Crown Series wins, 16 Modified wins, two All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car A-main wins, and one Dirt Late Model Victory.

He was also a back-to-back champion in the USAC Silver Crown Series in 1986 and 1987.

That's a pretty big no-no. Every time one of those things get loose on the track they wreak havoc.
 
I like Tags from his open wheel days, he’s been oh so close in Xfinity and truck races before. I’d love to see him get a win in his home country


This weekends race at Michigan should be a good one. Points are pretty much set you have guys like Sheldon Creed, Todd Gilliland, and Harrison Burton in must win scenarios. Should be fun

My money is on Eckes in the 51 though
 
My favorite of the must wins is Creed. I don't think he or any of the rest that need to win are going to win the race though. I'm wondering if Friesen now that he has his win might not try so hard and actually do better now that he isn't in desperation mode.

I agree, Creed has the best chance to win of the bubble guys. He will win or bring the steering wheel :p. I think Friesen has another win in him this year
