In the pre-race Brendan Gaughan said he would wreck whoever to advance
but in the 2003 truck final he called truck owner Jim Smith a cheater
for taking him out. lol ok

anyways Go Blake Koch, started 4th and the ultimate underdog!

Kyle Busch wins his 9th pole of the season. Unless Erik Jones win pole
#9 next week in the finale at Homestead, Kyle has all but clinched the
Pole Award for the 2016 Xfinity season (Jones has started 2nd 9 times vs
Kyle only once to win the tiebreaker)

This is also Kyle Busch's 9th pole at Phoenix in the Xfinity series, as
he is also gunning to be the first driver in the Xfinity series to lead
2,000 laps at a single track and scoring his 10th win at a track here at
Phoenix.

Jeff Green blows a tire and his plain white #99 Ford Mustang goes right
in the turn 4 wall. The 2000 series champion limps back to the pits, he
was running two laps down when this occurred. What a shame when he
didn't have a start and park car for once.

sneak in to the title fight but if he does he has to be the favorite at

How many laps did Kyle Busch lead tonight? He needed to lead 189 laps at
Phoenix to lead a total of 2,000+ laps. He's lead over 2,000 laps in the
2016 Xfinity season.

Kyle Busch also wins for the 10th time in 2016, the fourth time he has
won at least 10 times. This is also his 10th win at Phoenix overall.

He led 190 tonight.

Part of me is disappointed Koch won't advance, but as someone else said

Homestead.

Here's something to consider, and why the current Chase bracket format
was such a terrible idea, particularly for the lower series. If a
certain combination of things happen next weekend at Homestead-Miami
Speedway, NASCAR could very easily crown TWO winless champions next
weekend. Both Timothy Peters in the Truck Series and Justin Allgaier in
the XFinity Series could very easily win their respective series
championships without a single win, as both will race for their
respective titles having not yet won in 2016. Peters could very easily
finish second to someone like William Byron, and if he does, he takes
the Truck Series title without a single win this season. And if Allgaier
is the first XFinity Series driver to finish behind a Cup regular that
wins the race, Allgaier takes the XFinity Series title without winning
any races, as well. Wasn't this the exact situation that the "win and
in" Chase bracket that was format introduced in 2014 and brought to the
lower series this year was designed to prevent? Yet it could happen
TWICE next weekend if the right circumstances prevail.

Toyota is on the verge of sweeping manufacturer's championship in all
three series. Toyota already swept the Truck series with Daniel's
victory in the Truck series. Kyle Busch's dominate win extended the lead
in the Xfinity series from 15 to 21, a solid lead and a Top 5 would
clinch the title at Homestead. Before the Cup race tomorrow at Phoenix,
Toyota has a 29 point lead over Chevrolet, and a Toyota has finished in
the top 5 in every race all season (excluding both Michigan and Pocono
races). 29 is a solid lead, as long as a Toyota driver finishes 10th or
better in these two finale Cup races and they're golden.

The streak is over - Brad Keselowski will be winless for the first time
in his Xfinity career. Just like Kyle in 2012, but Brad Keselowski had
an elite equipment and was running all the races for his Cup team apart
from Kyle. Seeing him not winning at least once is more shocking than in
Kyle's case.

61, I remember in a couple years ago, the then-Nationwide championship
was clinched this weekend (Phoenix weekend, that is). Probably in part
because Regan Smith lost his sway bar in a race a few weeks before. If
not for that, so I thought at the time, he could've had a mathematical
shot until some point at Homestead. I do remember Chase had trouble at
Homestead, but perhaps even if Smith had a mathematical shot at
Homestead, it would've still been the same champion with Smith a closer
2nd than he was. Perhaps one of the Xfinity Chasers will lose the
championship because of some issue this year. There's no telling how it
could've been or will be. As far as this year's Xfinity Chase goes, we
just have to wait and see how Homestead plays out.

Hot off the presses: NASCAR is mulling over running restrictor-plate
engines at next year's Xfinity race at Indy, as a potential experiment
for the 2018 Brickyard 400.

Evidently this means that NASCAR hasn't dropped the Xfinity race from

Larson, etc. It gets old seeing the Cup stars dominate week after week
and that's why I've rarely watched the Xfinity series this year. With
them taking steps to actually increase the amount of times series
regulars will win, I don't see that as a bad thing. Heck, my interest
level in the Series will probably go up next year as a result. It's not
what I'd ideally like (NASCAR bringing back more stand-alone events at
short tracks across the country and other places, a good way to limit
Cup driver involvement), but at least it's an actual STEP in the right
direction.

On the other hand I can see how this would hurt the series as well.
Sponsors have gone all in promoting Cup drivers in this series and have
taken great pride in getting the ultimate say-so in who gets to race
each week (lest we forget Rockwell Automation forcing Aric Almriola to
step out of his car while dominating at Milwaukee 2007 because they
couldn't STAND not seeing Denny Hamlin in that car)...so I can easily
see sponsors balking big time at this. Being denied opportunities to
have the drivers they want to see drive their cars could lead many of
them to give the middle finger to NASCAR and pull up stakes, leaving the
sport altogether, which could leave this series hurting badly from a
financial standpoint. Sadly I can all too easily see this
happening...Though I HOPE in the long run this move will benefit the
Xfinity Series as a whole. I blame NASCAR for allowing the whole
Buschwhacking craze to get so badly out of hand in the first place...

I'm not a Kyle Busch fan, but I don't understand how his fans enjoy
seeing him dominate the Xfinity and Truck series. There are drivers who
I've been big fans of over the years who I don't like to race in the
lower series, like Dale Jr. and Brad. The only time I ever cheered for
either one of them in Xfinity or Trucks (besides when they weren't Cup
drivers) was that time Dale won Daytona in the #3 in 2010.

I wouldn't have as big of an issue with it if he was running for a
mid-pack team or his own equipment.

"The most prestique Xfinity Series race without the most famous
Buschwhackers? Come on..."

I didn't realize any Xfinity races carried prestige. It's minor league
for a reason. You can't have marquee races unless they are at a top
level nationally or internationally.

Every series should have some the most prestique races. For Cup, it's
Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, Brickyard 400, Southern 500 and formerly The
Winston 500. For Xfinity, it's the race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
And for Trucks, it's the race at Eldora Speedway.

And by the way, you showed your true face now, Americans. When something
doesn't go your way, you cry like babies and complain. When something
does go your way, your typical reaction is laughing your a**es off. Yep,
people are the same no matter where they live...

^You've said before your goal on this site is to make us see how silly
we're being and understand that there is absolutely nothing wrong with
Cup drivers running as many races as they like-even running for
championships year after year if they so choose. You want us to learn to
accept it and embrace it, like you have.

You know the reason why nobody is seeing things your way? Because you
come off as such an arrogant, stuck-up jerk with a major superiority
complex. You call all of us fools, whiners, crybabies and idiots and
constantly tout how you're better than most of us here because *gasp*
you're European while most of us here are American. Being from a certain
part of the world does NOT automatically you a better person than people
from another part of the world. Not at ALL. It has no bearing on whether
or not you're a good or smarter person than anyone else. Egotistical
jerks exist all over the globe in every country on this planet. Yet you
almost certainly do not see yourself as one, you probably think you're
one of the only sane people here while everyone else here is missing
multiple screws in their heads. Hell...I am almost willing to bet money
you think you're one of the top 2-3 regular posters on this entire site!

News flash: People do not like it when you openly look down on them and
name-call them, and it is not going to convince many people that your
opinion is the correct and proper one. Mannoroth, I SINCERELY hope
you're not like this in real life when interacting with other people and
acquaintances...because if you are, it's a wonder you have any friends
at all! It's a wonder you and Danica10Racer aren't the best of buddies
on this site because you're both equally aggravating and equally
condescending towards others on here.

Hope you're proud of yourself for riling up folks again, I bet you
really enjoy it...

I probably know more about Europe then whatever-that-guy's name is. But
in all seriousness, people like to be treated with respect, and
whatever-that-guy's-name just cannot make a comment without causing
drama intentionally or unintentionally. Stereotyping Americans as dumb
is quite stupid, but Europe isn't doing too good so maybe he just needs
to put people down to feel better about his finances or the corruption
of Soccer. See, it sounds just as stupid when I or anyone else for that
matter stereotypes as well. I'm only saying what I'm saying to make a
point. But soccer doesn't have many of those so...

80. "Egotistical jerks exist all over the globe in every country on this

I'm sure I'm not the only person in this world, who "doesn't miss some
screws in the head". But the reality is different, unfortunately. Just
look around yourself - don't tell me you don't see at least one silly
thing from someone while going to school/work or while going somewhere?
Most people are just idiots, plain and simple. Either raised badly or
got worse while being with their "groups of friends". And it won't get
better, only worse.
People need to know what naturalism is - pure reality, no changes of
something just because it doesn't sound like some person wants. And this
is a big media problem as well - they inform about something in the way
they want it. Not in the way it really happened...

And in NASCAR's case - limiting Buschwhackers can't be good for any
series, because they just belong there. They really help the young
drivers, but it looks like all you consider the most important is taking
the wins, not learning how to drive better. No wonder driver like Ricky
Stenhouse Jr. was good in Xfinity (even won 6 times in 2012), but is
horrible in Cup - no bad equipment, he just thought he is ready to move
on with the success he had. But he wasn't...
Have you ever wondered why Xfinity drivers like Jeff Gordon, Jimmie
Johnson, Kyle Busch or Carl Edwards were all able to almost immediately
run well with the best in their first full-time Cup season and most of
nowadays drivers aren't? Equipment, yes, but also they were all
experienced enough to race with the best ones.

The new system that they are going to have in place for next year is a
good start. However for 2018 I would like to see the rains tighten a
little bit more here's what I'd like to see.

Eligibility drops from five years to three years if you have three years
of cup experience you don't need to be running a large Xfinity schedule.

Cup drivers who have three or more years of experience are limited to 5
Xfinity races per year and 3 truck races.

Cup drivers are also once again not allowed to compete in dash 4 cash
races and any of the chase races if there is a chase next year.

What do you guys think.

If you thought that Kyle Busch is the beast of Xfinity Series, 2016
Xfinity season was really something else - 10 wins in 17 starts, 14 Top
10's, 2918 laps completed and 2052 laps led. Except the Watkins Glen
race, he was a factor for the win in all his starts and could easily
make it 16 wins out of 17 starts, because a flat tire allowed Austin
Dillon to pass him at Fontana, bad restart allowed Erik Jones to pass
Kyle at Bristol (that would be 6th consecutive win in a row), rain
ruined his chances for winning at Pocono, Daniel Suarez passed him in
the final lap at Michigan, the contact with Brad Keselowski ruined his
chance for winning at Bristol and at Chicagoland, a flat tire and a spin
ruined his dominance.

But this ain't Formula 1, where the team with the best equipment wins in
95 % of all races and those circumstances gave away 6 wins from him. But
still, very impressive season and also surprising, when #22 car (the
most consistent car in 3 previous seasons) didn't win a single race,
while the other #12 car won 2 out of 4 entered races.

Wonder, if other teams can catch up to Joe Gibbs Racing, so that Kyle
can have some proper rival again (like Carl Edwards and the whole 22 car
stable in the past seasons) next season.

Does that Green Flag Passes stat seriously say only 14? I hope that's a
typo.

It's obviously wrong, but it's not the calculation. NASCAR's underlying
loop data on which that stat is based is very incomplete.
