People have been saying he's king here but that has not been the case lately. Sure he's finished in the top 10 but not dominating or winning like he did back in the mid 2010s. 3. Jimmie4life posted: 03.09.2021 - 11:00 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) @2 It's what Jimmie Johnson was like when he kept winning at Dover. He did win 11 races there, but then, he stopped winning. Instead of noting the fact he wasn't winning consistently, it seemed like everytime we'd come there, even if we hadn't won in 3 years, they'd always say "The King of Dover, Jimmie Johnson." 4.

It's been 5 years since Harvick last dominated a Phoenix race, yet people still think he's the king of Phoenix. 7. TeamDCRfan posted: 03.09.2021 - 11:44 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Basing this entirely off of last fall, Elliott and JoLo have to be the favorites. They led all but 32 laps in the Championship race. 8. Corey posted: 03.09.2021 - 2:03 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @6 I had to do that with Jimmie and Martinsvillle. I believe some fans put too much stock into overall stats and don't look at the ?What have you done lately? stats. 9. Gopher88 posted: 03.09.2021 - 2:03 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Well, if the past few years are anything to go off of, you're going to have to go through Harvick to get the win. He might not be dominant but if we don't think he'll be in contention, we're missing something. 10. Nascar#1Fan posted: 03.09.2021 - 2:03 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yeley's back! Let's go! I predict he beats Ware, Bilicki, and Davison. Only question now is "where's Reed Sorenson?" He's more talented than Smithley, Gase, Ware, and Davison. I hope he shows up next weekend with the Spire 77. By the way, is Justin Haley running full time from now on? He's been in the #77 every week except the Daytona 500 (McMurray). 11. Tarheel posted: 03.09.2021 - 2:54 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) 7, I'd throw Kes in there too. He didn't lead many laps, but that's probably due to several slow pit stops costing him spots on the track. He might have actually been better than Elliott at the end. 12. ScottB posted: 03.09.2021 - 5:13 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) 10, Justin Haley is running full time with Kaulig in Xfinity and is currently 5th in points. He'll only be able to run Cup races when it doesn't interfere with that schedule, but it could be a decent amount of starts. He's certainly a good option for Spire when he is available. 13. 34McDowellFan posted: 03.09.2021 - 6:47 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Worth noting on that topic that the Xfinity Series only has 1 standalone race in 2021. They will be at Mid-Ohio the weekend Cup is at Sonoma. But with no practice/qualifying, Haley could theoretically still run that one. If I had to guess, Haley will run every race unless someone else brings funding for a race. Haley is likely going to be the #1 pick for Kaulig Racing if they go full-time in Cup, so him getting some Cup experience makes sense. For the record, Reed Sorenson is the spotter for Josh Williams in Xfinity this season. 14. Nascar#1Fan posted: 03.10.2021 - 9:02 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) @13, good to know Reed's still got something to do. I hope Mr. Gosselin might give him a race or 2 in the #90 later this season. 15. pacecardriversarecops posted: 03.10.2021 - 9:42 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) If Kaulig goes full-time next year, I'm not convinced they pick Haley. Burton and Allmendinger are both having excellent seasons for them in XFinity too and both are experienced drivers that aren't going to beat up a bunch of cars. Allmendinger is also a threat to sneak into the playoffs considering how many road courses are on the schedule. Haley could just run full-time with Spire again, or get picked to replace Busch in the #1 car if Kurt retires (maybe a long shot, but possible if they miss out on some of the more appealing free agents). Haley does bring sponsorship, but he might decide he can get a better cup ride than a first-year single-car team. 16.

Mile501 posted: 03.14.2021 - 9:46 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I would like to take a moment to wish everyone a happy Pi Day today. Surprisingly, it has been 17 years since the Cup Series raced on 3/14. Perhaps the #14 of Chase Briscoe will give us our 3rd first-time winner of the season today, or maybe the #3 of Austin Dillon will lead 14 laps and win. Of course, chances are slim that either of those things will happen, but it would be interesting if something related to the number pi were to happen during this race. 20. Jimmie4life posted: 03.14.2021 - 2:22 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) If I had to pick one driver who would win today, it would be Kyle Busch. Besides the finale last year, finishing 11th, he had a streak of 5 consecutive podium finishes at this track, and also added 2 wins in that span. Over the top 3 series, he has 17 wins at this track, and also has the 2nd most laps led and 2nd in average finish, both stats behind only Kevin Harvick. He can definitely win today, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did. 21. Altracing posted: 03.14.2021 - 2:47 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Elliott will also be going to the rear of the field 22. Jimmie4life posted: 03.14.2021 - 2:56 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I think we're in for a good show today. 750 HP races are usually the best on the schedule, and the two Phoenix races last year were fun to watch. I think the unique shape of the track and the lack of practice can really make this a really interesting showing. 23. Tarheel posted: 03.14.2021 - 3:33 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Elliott started in the rear last fall and still finished third in the opening stage. I hope he's just as good today as he was then. It'll be interesting to see who can cut through traffic the quickest between him, Larson, and Byron. 24.

Jimmie4life posted: 03.14.2021 - 3:46 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) A slightly cooler day than normal here in Avondale, Arizona, just around 62 degrees, where it was around 75 in last years spring race. The lower temperatures should add some speed, change the grip and feel of the track, and be an interesting wrench thrown into many of the teams strategies. 26.

The streak has now ended at 18 races, because of Martin Truex Jr.'s Cup win today. I had a feeling today might be the day the streak ended, because Phoenix has historically produced a lot of veteran winners. (Further evidence of this can be found in today's final results, as any of the top 6 finishers would have ended the streak.) But this has been an interesting streak to follow, and hopefully we will continue to have a nice variety of winners as the season continues! 232.
