Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will drive a special paint scheme this week honoring
the late Robert Yates. His car will be painted to look like the #28
Havoline Ford that Davey Allison, Ernie Irvan, and others drove for
Yates during the 1990's and early 2000's.

If the 66 is added, i think it will be a stretch for them to qualify
only because the words "Old BK car" translates to this car is from 2013
with an updated body and will be slower than Mike Senica in the 57 truck

^I don't know. BK cars are usually pretty fast compared to the #66, #51,
or #00. I also think BK helped prepare the car in some way. So hopefully
they get in.

I'm gonna guess if anyone doesn't qualify it will be the 00. I have
nothing against the star I'm team but I remember at Kansas they were
almost 1 sec slower in practice then then the 39th position car and that
was the 51

Only 3 races this season have seen cars fail to qualify for the race -
the Daytona 500 (2 failed), the spring Talladega race (1 failed), and
the Bristol night race (1 failed). I didn't count the cars marked as

The 66 was a late addition, they found a sponsor at the last minute.
They may be post-entry as far as earning owner points are concerned...

No 83 car this week. They blew up one of their remaining motors and
couldn't afford to rent one from Joey Arrington, so the car was an easy
sell when Carl came walking through the doors with a check and sponsor.

I think it's kind of petty to complain about the number of cars showing
up at the track for race weekend. Obviously, the economy is not as good
as it used to be, and fielding a race team is expensive. Not everyone
can afford it anymore. Plus, the number of cars showing up for race
weekend doesn't affect the quality of the racing.

@30 - you may think it's petty, but many of us consider the number of
teams participating to be an accurate and useful metric of the health of
the sport, and thus worthy of tracking and commenting on.

You're correct that fielding a race team is expensive (as Junior once
said, the way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a large
one). Much of the reason it's expensive is poorly thought out rule
making by NASCAR (such as the CoT). Add to that the charter system,
which strongly stacks the odds against non-charter teams, and it's
little surprise that it's a challenge to get 40 cars. Indeed, the real
surprise is that more than 36 show up.

I'd argue that you're wrong about the number of cars not affecting the
quality of racing. I think the arguement could be made on several
grounds, but the strongest one is simply that the racing was far better
back in the 80's and 90's, when 70-odd teams participated and you could
expect 50 or more entries at many races.

Alright, Blaney on the pole! Great way to start off the weekend, one in
which he needs to win to make it to the championship final at Homestead.
The No. 21 Ford is currently 22 points behind the cutoff entering this
race, so in all reality, it's gonna take a win to get there.

This is Blaney's second career pole, his first coming at Kansas back in
the spring of this year.

Entering this race, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex have
locked up their spots in the championship at Homestead (Busch and
Harvick with wins, Truex by points), so the fourth and final spot will
come down to five drivers. Currently, Brad Keselowski is in with a
19-point cushion over Denny Hamlin, with Blaney sixth -22 behind, Chase
Elliott seventh -49 behind and Jimmie Johnson eighth -51 behind.

Wood Brothers Racing had just one pole from 1985 to 2016 (899 starts).

Blaney's the first Wood Brothers driver to have multiple poles in a
season since Neil Bonnett in 1979 (three in 17 starts).

With Dale Earnhardt Jr. retiring, Matt Kenseth all but actually
retiring, and Kurt Busch still not resigned with SHR, we will probably
only see one full-time driver who has raced against NASCAR legend Dale
Earnhardt Sr. next year. That would be Ryan Newman who made one start
against Sr at Phoenix in 2000.

For the other three starts against Sr.
Jr 40
Kenseth 41
Ku. Busch 8 (also holds the distinction of being the last driver Dale
ever point a finger at on track.)

Yes I didn't for get Derrike Cope who has a whopping 354 starts against
Sr. But, I consider him Part time and for a majority of the races next
year it looks like it will only be Newman.

Jimmie Johnson's in the wall on the last lap of the second stage! Denny
Hamlin wins stage 2 but the Johnson's #48 is totaled out and he's out of
the race. Johnson blew a tire and ended up in the turn 3 wall because of it.

Johnson needed to win today to advance to Homestead and that's not going
to happen now. His bid for a possible eighth title is over for now,
he'll have to try again in 2018.

Alright now that Jimmie Johnson is officially out of the title hunt the
playoffs are wide open. Never bet against Jimmie while there is even
still the slimiest shot he could still pull it off.

Phoenix has occasionally been a rough spot for Johnson over the years
despite his four wins here. A crash into the outside wall here in 2012
was the thing that largely sank his title bid that year and gave Brad
Keselowski the big points advantage he needed going into Homestead to
win the championship that year.

I picture the end of this race being like a "flying wedge" in reverse:
Dickhead Denny leading, with his teammates 5-wide behind him blocking
Chase Elliott from getting to Hamlin and paying him what he's owed.

With Homestead almost certainly being the final Cup race ever for Junior
& Danica, NASCAR can breathe a little easier that the ratings won't
totally be in the toilet.

Hamlin and Keselowski are tied on points as the third and final stage
begins with Denny holding the tiebreaker...assuming Hamlin doesn't just
win straight up and get in that way.

Hamlin holds off an early attack by Kenseth to maintain the lead.

Toyota has a habit of becoming dominant in any motorsport they try (IMSA
GTO, IMSA GTP, CART, IRL, NASCAR Trucks, etc.)...of course they still
haven't won at Le Mans but they will be trying again in 2018 with little

Phoenix has to do something with that wall. It is too dangerous (same
with the exit of turn 2 at Richmond), especially with how many drivers
had tire failures in that corner.

Some of the brake rotors on Buescher's #37 blew up, causing both the
crash and igniting the fires behind the safer barrier when hot chunks of
the rotors landed inside the gap between the wall and the SAFER barriers.

Alright, Hamlin's out and his title shot is gone. That basically punches
Brad Keselowski's ticket to Homestead unless Chase Elliott or Ryan

Not really sure if I'd compare those. Kenseth's was a deliberate crash
while several laps down in a damaged car he took back out specifically
to crash another car. The Elliott/Hamlin deal was mostly a racing
deal...I hope.

Not the same. The Elliott and Hamlin situation that just happened was a
version of good, hard-nosed racing. The Kenseth-Logano deal was one
driver absolutely pile driving another after perceiving that he was
taken out by good, hard-nosed racing.

The difference is Golden Child Elliott has shown he races like a whiny
hypocritical scumbag for his entire career, crying if someone touches
him but having no qualms about taking out others.

The blatant bias and favouritism Jesus Chase has been shown since he's
appeared on the scene is what's going to make me turn off NASCAR for
good after 20 years.

I'm no Hamlin fan either and whah he did at Martinsville wasn't right
but Chase took out Brad in that race also which is conveniently glossed
over by everyone.

Chase Elliott: "The Dawsonville Bridesmaid" the best driver who
continues to prove to the NASCAR world why he can't he win a race
because he's a guy who can't get it done. He's so close all the time,
he's got the greatest losing results of all drivers!

Today marks the first time in 14 years that Chevrolet won't have a shot
at a driver's championship heading into the final race of the year
(2003). Obviously, Matt Kenseth was the champion that year. Just a wild

Wouldn't have minded Chase racing Hamlin like that if it was for 1st.
But for 3rd is a little much. I know payback was in order but they left
each other alone up to that point and for all of Texas. Just gave
Keselowski a free ticket to Homestead and that's unfortunate. The guy
spent about 2 green flag laps in the top 10 all race. Hamlin should've
let Chase go rather than fight him for position and worry about Brad and
fight Brad for position if needed

The old fox got 'em at the end. For many years on FOX, Darrell Waltrip
compared Matt Kenseth with another driver of the #17 car, the number
Kenseth carried at Roush for years, David Pearson, the grand Silver Fox
himself, who ran that number for Holman-Moody from 1967-'71, winning two
of his three championships in the #17. And the way Kenseth ran in the
last 60 laps of that race looked like a reincarnation of David Pearson,
running just hard enough to stay in front, and then when it became
evident that Chase Elliott was going to do whatever he needed to in
order to win, including his settling the score with Denny Hamlin in a
more subtle way than what happened at Martinsville, he laid out the
bait, allowing Chase to run his car into the ground when he was leading
while holding back, and then when Elliott made his misstep off turn two
with about ten laps left, the old fox (Kenseth) was there ready to
pounce, and when he made his pass, he did so without even touching
Elliott's car, and off he went to what figures to be his final victory.

Another irony in Kenseth beating Chase Elliott for this win is that, on
the day that Matt Kenseth clinched his championship at Rockingham in
2003, that race was won by Chase's father, Bill Elliott, which was the
final win of his career, so in a way, racing and beating Bill's son for
his final win may be appropriate, and in a way, basically completes the
circle of Kenseth's career.

As for Chase Elliott finishing second AGAIN, it's just not meant to be
for him to win in the #24 car, and maybe that's the way it should be.
Perhaps it's the racing gods' way of telling Rick Hendrick that he
should have changed the number of the car from #24 to the #9 made famous
by Bill Elliott when Chase first stepped into the car, something he's
going to do next year , and which Richard Petty allowed Rick to do when
he made the #9 available for the 2016 season (the current #5 is going to
become the #24 when William Byron takes over next year).

@186, perhaps Denny would have liked let Chase go at that point, but at
the time that happened, Ryan Blaney, who was in the same position Chase
was in as it pertained to making the championship race, was charging
toward the front in fifth place, and Brad Keselowski was a couple of
cars behind Blaney, so Hamlin couldn't lift. The way things were going,
even if that incident with Elliott had not happened, I'm not sure he
could have held Brad off had the race stayed green to the finish,
because he was going backwards while Brad was coming to the front. After
that incident happened, Brad knew that all he had to do was to finish,
because he knew he couldn't outrun Elliott, who would have made the
Keselowski/Hamlin/Blaney points situation moot had he won anyway, so all
he wanted to do was to finish with his car intact, which he successfully
did. Even if his engine had quite, he was far enough ahead of Blaney in
points that he would have made the championship race in the garage area.

192- It's that it's hard to win a race, it's how close he's come so many
times. This is why when you look back on Dale Earnhardt's 19 year losing
streak he was gonna be the best driver to never win a Daytona 500.
Chasse Elliott, right now, has the same bad luck as Earnhardt, Sr. Had
in the Daytona 500 from 1979-1997. Waiting to see if Chase Elliott will
win a NASCAR Cup race will be like Earnhardt finally winning the 500
after 20 years.

John Lee, enough. I just needed get something out of my system ok! I'm
no fan of Elliott like I used to be (Chase that is). I remember watching
a race at Iowa in 2015 when Elliott was leading with 2 laps to go & then
a caution came out. Elliott finished 2nd that day & I got extremely
pissed off on Elliott's because he reminded me so much of how Gordon was
late in his career, having opportunities being thrown away because of
some idiot. I told myself when Gordon retires, whose been my favorite
driver since childhood, that I forever stop rooting for one. Chase just
so happens to tick me off of how much he keeps being shut out of a
victory everytime. Is it because he's lost the will to win? Is he WAY
too sentimental? Is the #24 number a curse because of how close it comes
to winning more races than it originally has since 2008? Who knows, all
I know is that the reason why I don't root for drivers, is because it
was becoming unhealthy for me getting very upset whenever I see my
favorite star get so close everytime to victory. Sure I got to see Jeff
Gordon Win, but not a lot though. But I think back to 2014 when Jeff was
knocked out of the championship 4 by a single point because Dale Jr won
Martinsville, Keselowski cut his tire, Newman wrecked Larson, & Gordon
lost his 3rd championship. I also no longer root for drivers because I
want to learn about the sport even more, just relax & watch them drivers
race, listen to the broadcasters (which almost no one does) & work for
the sport as well. I have a passion for NASCAR. NASCAR is a sport I
loved, it's why I became a Gordon fan because of his colorful schemes,
his success, his foundation, and he follows me on Twitter! :)

But John, I know you want me to be angry & I completely understand that
my friend. But I know I'm acting like a keyboard warrior like I was in
2013, but I didn't come here to fight no one, I came here to say what I
want, I have my own rights, I have my own opinions, etc. So if you want
to keep pushing me around, great, whatever happens, don't you dare keep
pushing my limits!

At the end of the day, I'm sorry for insulting Chase, it's just that
he's so amazing as a guy who hasn't won a race in his career, he might
actually be the first driver in MENCS history to finish top5 in points
without career win since James Harvey Hylton!!

Goodnight! :')

@90, Yeah, and while they're at it, they could just ditch the track
entirely and race in a parking lot with no walls so no one will ever be
at risk of hitting a wall. Since walls are so dangerous when you hit
them, let's just eliminate them entirely.

As far as the race today, man was it good to see Kenseth get what very
well could be his final career win (although I hope not), even if it
came at the expense of Chase Elliott being denied victory yet again.

And for those that are butthurt over Chase losing again, get over it.
The kid is talented, I GUARANTEE he will win a race in his career, most
likely a lot of them. The list is long of good drivers that took a while
to win their first. Bill Elliott, Kasey Kahne, Kyle Larson, Ricky
Stenhouse, etc.. It'll happen, just wait for it.

As for the contact between the 24 and 11 that ultimately led to Hamlin's
tire going down, it is nothing. Of course, it was expected that Chase
would race Denny particularly hard and wouldn't give him an inch, but he
didn't dump the 11 or otherwise make an obvious move to wreck him. He
just leaned on him a bit extra and pinched him into the wall. I see
nothing wrong with anything that happened today. That kind of stuff was
pretty normal 30 years ago.

Been a while since I've been on here but I wanna give a shoutout to Dale
Jr., who has finished 12th or better in 6 of the last 7 races. Today's
10th-place run means he's got as many top-10s (four) in October and

The wiley old veteran outfoxes the youngster Chase Elliott. If this
truly is the last win, you have to take your hat off to Matt Kenseth. As
long as this season has been, I will accept Kenseth winning and getting
to ride off into the sunset with a win to show for the season is good
for him. His win ties him with Tim Flock on the all-time list with 39
victories, something that the analysts never touch on these days. Just
seeing him get out of the car and celebrate on the roof like the old
days brings a good feeling to whole week. As for Denny Hamlin, he had it
coming and what goes around comes around. Chase wasn't going to give an
inch and neither was Denny. Now Martin Truex(the most deserving and best
team all year), Brad Keselowski(this berth fell into his lap but he has
been good), Kevin Harvick(The championship is there and his for the
taking, all he needs is to win the race and get the right breaks), Kyle
Busch(Toyotas have been strong all year and Kyle Busch has had great
cars this year, its foolhardy to bet against him and I see him and Truex
as the top two in this, the final race of the season. All I can say is
best of luck in the championship and may the best team/car win.

If we're looking at all-time wins it's notable that Kenseth's 39 puts
him right behind Mark Martin's 40; Martin was the guy who pushed Jack
Roush to hire Kenseth and bring him up to the Cup level. He rewarded the
pair with the team's first title.

Exactly, @198. Kenseth's first Cup race was the 1998 fall race at Dover
in Bill Elliott's car because George Elliott, Bill's father, had passed
away during that week and Bill was in Georgia tending to that. And
actually, Kenseth ran better in that race than Bill did practically that
entire season, because except for a couple of races (mainly the spring
race at Rockingham), Elliott was a non-factor that entire season, yet
Kenseth ran second for much of that race in Bill's car only to his
future Roush Racing mentor, Mark Martin, who dominated and won that
race. Kenseth eventually had to settle for sixth place, the second-best
finish in a debut race I can think of in modern NASCAR history, only to
Rusty Wallace's runner-up finish at Atlanta in 1980 to Dale Earnhardt in
a Chevrolet for Roger Penske.

Harvick should have 44 points, not 43. He finished 5th = 32 points, 4th
in Stage 1 = 7 points, 6th in Stage 2 = 5 points. 32 + 7 + 5 = 44 points.

It should be that way, but nascar.com has the same mistake, if it's a

Kyle Busch's points are correct using the same system?

This. This is why I wanted Matt Kenseth to win for the 40th time to tie

Harry Gant had no wins when he finished 3rd in points in 1981.

I'm not worried about Chase. He isn't even as old as Bobby Hillin was
when he became (at the time) the youngest driver to win a superspeedway
race. Not everyone is Kyle Busch. Logano would have been winless at this
point in his life if not for the Loudon fluke, and he'd been far less
competitive overall. Chase will break through, and eventually win 20+
races. Not near as many as his dad, but far from disappointing.

Elliott should have 6-7 wins by now, races he choked or bad luck

2016 Daytona 500 - Wrecked 

2016 Dover I - Finished 3rd, could of passed Larson and Kenseth if they
got side by side

2016 Pocono I - Finished 4th, Made a bold move on Jr in the tunnel and
had to back off, leading Busch to pass him and Jr

2016 Michigan I - Finished 2nd, Spun his tires on the last RS

2016 Michigan II - Finished 2nd, Late Caution and spun the tires again

2016 Chicagoland - Finished 3rd, Late caution and Truex got by

2016 Charlotte II - Wrecked

2017 Daytona 500 - Ran out of Fuel

2017 Phoenix I - Car fell off after the second stage

2017 Michigan I - 2nd place again, spun the tires again

2017 Chicagoland - 2nd place

2017 Dover II - 2nd place, Kyle Busch passed him with 5 to go

2017 Charlotte II - 2nd place

2017 Talladega II - Wrecked

2017 Martinsville - Denny Hamlin

2017 Phoenix - Passed with 10 laps to go

Elliott should have 5 or more wins

My prediction is that Chase will have more second place finishes &
doesn't win until the end of the season. And for Alan Gustafson, well I
hate to admit, but this will be the first time in his career he goes
back to back years without a win.

Gant had 10 2nd place finishes before he won and the win didn't come
until his fourth season full season.

Even Kahne had 6 2nd places before winning.

Also good races for:

Erik Jones, who'll take over race winner Matt Kenseth's #20 ride next
season, gets a 4th. Up front all day and picked up points in stages 1 and 2.

Aric Almirola, 3rd top 10 in the last 5 races, he'll be in the #10 next
year.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr, no stage points but decent late in the race and
manages a top 10 in the Yates tribute colors.

It'll be interesting to see how these drivers carry the momentum into
2018, especially the ones changing teams.

I guess that's just her making the 2nd round and being slower than
everyone else when she gets there. 2017 has been her 2nd best year in
terms of qualifying, with top 10 starts at Sonoma and Daytona. The only
other season in which she had multiple top 10 starts was 2014, when she
had 6.

I won't be able to do this next week.

Through 35 races there have been 0.54 debris cautions per race, slightly
more than 2000 (0.47) but less than any year since. Texas had 4,
Richmond and Michigan had 2, and Atlanta, Martinsville, Kansas, Dover,
Sonoma, Pocono (2nd), Watkins Glen, Michigan (2nd), Darlington, New
Hampshire (2nd), Talladega (2nd), and Phoenix (2nd) all had 1. 20 of 35
races have had 0 debris cautions (only 3 races in 2005 had 0 debris
cautions).

Debris cautions per race (http://i.imgur.com/NKy6WS6.png)
2000: 0.47 (16 total)
2001: 0.75
2002: 1.1
2003: 1.2
2004: 1.6
2005: 2.47 (89 total)
2006: 2.3
2007: 2.0
2008: 2.2
2009: 1.9
2010: 1.4
2011: 1.6
2012: 1.5
2013: 1.9
2014: 2.28 (82 total)
2015: 2.0 (72 total)
2016: 1.42 (51 total)
2017 thru 35 races: 0.54 (19 total)

However, if you treat the stage 1 and 2 (and 3 for Charlotte 600)
cautions as debris cautions the number is 2.57 or 0.1 more than the 2005
high and 1.15 higher than last year's 1.42.

My bad, that should be 20 total cautions this year for a 0.57 average.
And the stage cautions as debris cautions number should be 2.6.

I was ticked of a bit after Dover, Martinsville, and yesterday. But
looking back, this team has made strides this year. Chase will win, and
probably multiple wins next year.

Last year was bogus, but the first two years were acceptable. I think
Kyle Larson will spoil the party. End the year on a high note after a
horrendous playoff.

@186 - exactly. Elliott was clearly the faster car, and after having his
bumper tapped in several corners, Hamlin knew it. A wiser driver would
have let Elliott by, rather than make him force the issue and end up
wrecking.

@187 - Pearson: 105 times a winner, only 469 times a loser.

@246, maybe that's why Denny Hamlin's never won a championship while
almost all of his contemporaries that have had comparable careers,
except for Carl Edwards and Dale Earnhardt, Jr., have won at least one
championship, and by all rights, Edwards should have won it last year.
(And I'm referring to what happened at Martinsville, not what happened
at Phoenix, as well as previous run-ins with Joey Logano, Brad
Keselowski, Kyle Busch, and Kyle Petty, among others.) However, in
Hamlin's defense, at the time of his incident with Chase Elliott, he was
backsliding and those he was battling for a chance to race for the
championship were all charging to the front, because at the time of his
second and fateful run-in with Elliott, Ryan Blaney, who was basically
in the same position Hamlin was in when the race began, was right behind
him, and Brad Keselowski was just two spots behind Blaney in seventh, so
at that point in the race, with no more pit stops remaining had the race
stayed green for the distance, he had to race his championship rivals as
hard as he could, and let the chips fall where they may.

But early in the race, it was apparent that Chase Elliott was going to
try to Denny Hamlin a spot in that championship race, by hook or by
crook, and he showed that he would wreck him if he had to in order to
deny him that spot. I referred to that incident with Elliott as the
second run-in because they had a run-in while they battled for the lead
early that revealed Elliott's true intentions when it came to racing
Denny Hamlin, which reared their ugly heads about 60 laps from the end.
So it was obvious what was going to happen if it came down to a duel
between Elliott and Hamlin, though Elliott DID NOT wreck him like Hamlin
did at Martinsville.

But when Matt Kenseth got up to race with Chase Elliott for the win at
the end, Elliott raced him as clean as he would usually race anyone
else, as there was no contact between Elliott and Kenseth on either pass
for the lead on the final run of green flag racing. Elliott passed
Kenseth without any contact, and then with ten laps remaining, Kenseth
passed Elliott cleanly, and Elliott gave him room to make the pass
instead of blocking Kenseth, which he could have easily done, but which
could also have led to a repeat of what happened on that restart late in
Friday night's Truck Series race when Ben Rhodes threw a block on Austin
Cindric and paid the price for it. I think that's also what Elliott
meant in his post-race interview when he stated that he was going to
race others how they race him. He'd never had any problems with Kenseth
(unlike other HMS drivers, including Elliott's predecessor in the #24
car, who had numerous run-ins with Kenseth), so he raced Matt cleanly.

If my count is correct, the SAFER barrier catching fire marked the 20th
red flag of the 2017 Cup season. Has to be the first time it has reached
that number and already surpassed what I believe is the old record at 13
awhile back.

2006 had 13 total red flags (3 of those were non-points races)
2007 had 13 as well (this includes the opening laps of the 2007 spring
Richmond race where they ran the opening laps under caution, but because
it was postponed and never took the green flag, the lap count went back
to zero when it resumed the following day)

Granted I have yet to do 2008-09 and 2011-15 (only focusing on red flags
since 2000), so 13 may have been surpassed during those years.

I been watching races for alot of years. Chase will win plenty - had a
knife at a gun fight with the Toyotas much of the season. Just look at
HMS vs JGR and 78 car and you get the idea. Not fast enough to win and
when circumstances allowed it he had bad luck. Dover and 'Dega 2017 - I
could argue Chase had the best car and messed up. BUT - Dover - beat by
a Yota....so even though Shrub said he should have moved up the track -
may have not worked for Chase. Dega....crap shoot - he took a shot to
win and got chopped off. That is plate racing. Plenty others wrecked too.

Chase will have plenty of wins soon enough - too good a driver and team.
Just look at things like average finish over career. Hopefully the 2018
Camaro cuts some of that Camry advantage.

We could see a full field at the Brickyard in 2018. The money is good
enough to make it worthwhile even for a non-charter team.

Last year's event had 41 entries, so it isn't a lock to get 40 this year
but it's a reasonable possibility.

After realizing that it is difficult to find the point standings before
each playoff reset (this website, along with NASCAR's official reports,
only shows points after the reset), I am posting them for each playoff
elimination race. Here are the points at the conclusion of this race,
before the reset (with drivers who won a race during this round listed
first):

2017 Round of 8
1. Kyle Busch -53 (1 win)
2. Kevin Harvick -57 (1 win)
3. Martin Truex, Jr.
4. Brad Keselowski -80
-- Eliminated --
5. Denny Hamlin -99
6. Ryan Blaney -103
7. Chase Elliott -105
8. Jimmie Johnson -150

@260 - Jayski has that data for this year, but not for prior years (as

This year, NASCAR apparently started to release both versions of the

Chase Elliott's payback on Hamlin in this race is the finest payback I
can remember. He didn't wreck him, but put him in the wall just enough
that Denny's tire would eventually blow and he wouldn't make Homestead
either. Absolutely masterfully done from the 21 year old and a big
moment in his career.
