A pass

 

[SlicedBread22]

Pretty sure at this point.. concerning the 18 and 22.. whoever finishes higher is in the final 4

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Cant wait until he takes denny out

Denny tried to beat him to the favor, but only wrinkled the rear fender. That said, I would have been frustrated too if I were Denny.

Elliott has a damn good car, hope he gets a good pit and they adjust it for the last stage.

First adjustment made it worse per Chase, we’ll see what this stop brings.

screw Denny, both of them are racing for a spot in the final 4

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Looked like Chase braked to let 18 out of pits ahead. Lane preference?

 

[StandOnIt]

Penske switching out pit crews turns out to be a really good move for the 22 team

 

[DewChaser988]

Phoenix isn't going to last long as the finale, because of the poor racing quality of this new aero package. But knowing NASCAR, they won't go back to Homestead or Atlanta for the finale, instead they'll have it at Texas or Auto Club

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Chase reported hitting something just now of track with left front. When will it end?

 

[jaqua19]

Nah. Denny flat out with some hard championship calibur driving there.

Didn't they switch the 12 and 2?

Sadly, I think you’re right. Bring finale back to Atlanta!

 

[Mispeedway15]

Good race so far!

 

[StandOnIt]

the 9 from 2nd to 4th

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Hopefully this thing is as good as the end of the Lions/Bears game was. Lions lost...…. again.....

I'm pretty sure they did.

 

[Nitro Dude]

That was damn good exciting finish in stage 2.

'S okay; y'all are used to it.

Normally, I am always on the end of the "Hendrick gives the best stuff to the ## car", crap, and I still am. If that were the case, he'd still probably be giving "the best stuff" to the 48 for obvious reasons.

But the 9 is a top 3 car, all 3 other Hendrick cars miss it THAT much, and can't even run top 10? Clearly a team effort to get the 9 to homestead, just like there was to get the 48 into the playoffs at Indy with the personal, communication, and whole team effort. Chase even said so at Indy. Same thing is happening here at Phoenix. Must feel nice to have your boss in your corner, the only issue is those Gibbs cars lol.

Or Homestead, HMS was perfect for the finale

He intentionally drug brake once they knew they wouldn’t be leading.

Oh hell yeah!

I forgot about Homestead getting the boot out of the finale.

Phoenix? How anticlimactic.

Championship race at an awkwardly configured miler? What

Denny vs Logano VII.....no crew member flying in to horsecollar

 

[be9ak7ts16]

OH HELL YEAH

 

[Nitro Dude]

This is some awesome racing today.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Love it. 11 crowds the 9 hard, 9 giving it right back without wrecking each other.

Packer fan here.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

This is some awesome racing today.

For first 2 laps after a restart. Other than that...

 

[jaqua19]

11 may win his way into Homestead here.

Thought he was toast.

There it is.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Cut right rear. It’s over. That’s the one Denny crumpled in frustration.

edit: I’m dumb. Denny hit left rear.

Lap traffic bunches em up too. Also, having the fastest cars spread out in the top 5, opposed to running 1-3 creates good racing. But still, this is what we got with this package and car.

Dammit. Chase had a chance to win this today.
