    The final 4 are set :

    Kyle Larson

    Denny Hamlin

    Chase Briscoe

    William Byron

    Its hard to complain about the final 4 ,Bell and Blaney should be there but in place of ??

    No Penskes at Phoneix, arguably the chevys have an advantage but Hamlin and Briscoe have had the advantage of two weeks to prepare - hence the engine blow ups yesterday 😉

    Who will be crowned champion on Sunday ?

    Denny deserves it , Larson and Byron would be worthy but Briscoe.....he's the dark horse.

    I'd love to see Briscoe won it but my prediction all year has been Byron.

    blaney was the fastest car for a lot of races just came short due to various issues .

    to win the actual race in Phoenix , Blaney would still be fav

    but for the championship hendricks have been poor and dont really deserve it , Hopefully it is Hamlin Time - he deserves this one - Briscoe will have more chances

    final 4 night , i hope Hamlin gets it .

    but going for blaney to win the race

    Its utterly random as was once again shown last night when Zilisch didnt win the Xfinity championship.

    Probably the final nail in the coffin for the current playoff system , Heim winning the truck championship from 11th on the final restart dodged a bullet but no such luck for Nascar last night.

    I would like Denny to finally win it ,and he starts from pole but its all about lady luck.

    .....lap 186 Denny has a tyre go down..…the new championship format is not yet finalised apparently but a 3 round final 4 playoff is a frontrunner

    Hamlin will never win one, he's cursed in that race.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 6,354 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    Blaney wins the race - but Larrson robs the championship hes stunk it out all year . 2 tires hamlin wins



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,068 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    Hamlin had it won and then theres a caution and he takes 4 tyres ,dreadful strategic error.

    To make matters worse for Nascar the storyline was all build around Hamlin finally being champion.

    Byron with a blown tyre(as did Briscoe) surely this is the last winner takes all round on Nascar.

    I like Larson but he lucked in today.

    Update : Denny owning the 4 tyre decision

    How did RFK Fluff the win with Brad and Preece running 1,2 on the final lap....

    denny done what heim did , blaney had 2 new tyres and was one of the fastest cars before the yellow

    In fairness Larson made a great move around the top to get away from Hamlin.

    I don't like Larson, hated that he won it but I respect great driving.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,068 ✭✭✭Infoanon


    Yes.......but the Trucks are not Cup cars ,Truck tyres are not Cup tyres.

    There is talk that Hamlins pit position allowed them to see Larson taking two tyres but Hamlins team could not react as the tyre pressures were based on taking 4 fresh tyres.

    The irony is Larson would be champion based on a full season.

    The next gen is different for sure.

    I wish they'd go back to the old car.
