Starting Order

 

[dara]

Anyone's race, but I think Denny Hamlin wins.

 

[4me2c]

KyB in #18... Halloween Mode...!!!

 

[dara]

I saw that Hamlin failed inspections, so he was sent to the back. He's currently 16th, but still above the line with Truex on the bubble above Kyle Busch . Keselowski is competitive, but must win, Logano is must win, and in the top 10, and Blaney is in trouble with some damage, just outside the top 10. 15 to go in the 1st stage.

 

[dara]

Chase Elliott win Stage 1, followed by Kyle Larson and Martin Truex.

 

[dara]

Logano and Blaney are out of the top ten, probably done for the championship.

 

[dara]

Chase Elliott wins stage 2, followed by Alex Bowman and William Byron.

 

[dara]

Elliott needed 10 pts in the stage to clinch a spot... so he's in at least for #4

 

[4me2c]

Ruoff and Tuoff Track today... Good Racing tho...!!!

 

[dara]

40 to go , Hamlin leading, Truex holding his small lead over Kyle Busch, and needs Keselowski to not win from 3rd plance.

 

[4me2c]

Getting Touchy Feely out there...!!!

 

[dara]

Wow,Bowman gets loose and takes out Hamlin.

 

[dara]

Meanwhile , its between Truex and Kyle B, may be determined on the restart.

 

[4me2c]

Notice how that Christmas comm snuck in there...?!?

 

[dara]

Hamlin holding on for dear life .(well not really)

 

[dara]

Bowman wins, Kyle Busch and Keslelowski follow. Hamlin, Truex advance, but Hamlin stops Bowman's celebration.

 

[dara]

Denny needs some anger management, I guess.

 

[crazed 9.6]

Denny needs some anger management, I guess.

he better be careful or they might mistaklen him for Kyle B

 

[4me2c]

Lol, the Candy Man wouldn't do Nuttin like that...!!! At least He Remembered to Show Up Today...!! He been MIA for a Few Weeks...!

 

[big mac]

Denny needs some anger management, I guess.

Were those tears on his cheeks?
