Denny runs the corners here like Jeff Gordon did.

5s pace is good. Just a bobble there. But because of team orders, and gifting the 9 the best pit stall even though they didn't earn it in qualifying more or less puts the race in the 9s control at this point.

Unless we get some Chase Briscoe nonsense, gonna be tough for 9 to be beat.

They earned the right to pick second. They picked second.

9 has good drive off

 

[jaqua19]

Go Denny…right?

I mean, eh, nah. But this is his best track.

I don't like the team order stuff that the playoffs create. That's all. Especially with the gen 7 turning Martinsville into an aero race.

But again, no rules about it. So nothing about it is wrong. Now if Larson or Bowman brings out a yellow to help Chase, then yes that’s against the rules. But Larson doesn’t HAVE to take stall 1.

Hasn’t been his best track for a while. Denny is a great driver.

9 has real good stability all around. Looks more like the 11 just gets into the corner more agressively

No, definitely not.

ENOUGH WITH THE ON BOARDS

 

[aunty dive]

1/4 turn of the wheel to navigate the Martinsville corners.

 

[jaqua19]

Real impressed with Custer. 11 looks untouchable on the long run.

History lessons with Rick Allen

 

[FLRacingFan]

They really gave KFB the biggest piece of **** imaginable. That 18 looks like it’s on ice on corner entry.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Rick Allen acting like it's the last lap of the Championship.

 

[34R7H130UND]

Hamlin being really patient here

 

[BobbyFord]

Hoooya.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Hendrick cars are so far superior to everything else. Elliott held him off up high, on horsepower, for like three laps.

 

[AdoubleU24]

...why did Chase change his line? Lol

Such a boob

 

[jws926]

That was fantastic racing for the lead

 

[Blaze]

Because Denny would probably wreck him and end his championship run? It was actually smart not to make a huge deal this early

Don’t tell Denny

 

[jaqua19]

Denny just knows how to get around this this place better than anyone in the field.

I guess that's one of the perks of him getting his ass whooped by Gordon and Johnson here for a decade.

Starting outside the top 10 at a place tough to pass. Denny stuffed the field in a locker on this run. Hopefully he’s not peaking early again.

 

[34R7H130UND]

To avoid another 2017 incident

 

[aunty dive]

Liberty is spelled correctly.

 

[BobbyFord]

Vanilla Byron is struggling

 

[AdoubleU24]

Chase shows up with a terrific car and one other guy in the field brings something marginally better. Seen it 100 times

 

[34R7H130UND]

Hamlin is a dumbass lol

 

[AdoubleU24]

In stage 1? Lol no way

 

[Hotrod]

Hamlin giving himself a cut tire would not hurt my feelings.

 

[jaqua19]

...why did Chase change his line? Lol

Remember in 2016 in this same race? Johnson did the same thing to Hamlin, and later came back and passed him for the win.

No sense in driving defensively.

"You're faster? Go ahead and pass me on the inside if you can beat my drive off"

It's smarter, and I would guess, easier to stay in a rhythm than trying to run the bottom while looking in the mirror lap after lap.

All that hype for naught with the free pass anyways, lol.

I wouldn’t put it past Denny.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Fun stage there once the tires worn down a bit

I hope they give it to Ty next year.

 

[Greg]

Stage 1 was the Martinville I love. Great racing, tire wear, comers and goers, no cautions the best part of all. I wish all three stages could go that way today and I would be happy regardless of who wins. That's my impossibile dream for the day.

 

[Blaze]

Kyle Busch last?

Does Kyle Busch care anymore?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Does anyone care about Kyle Busch anymore?
