2023 NASCAR Races: #36 Phoenix - Championship

[dara]

Picking Denny Hamlin, and William Byron will get the 4th spot in the Championship 4.

 

[Oakster]

Kyle Larson for me... who else.

RC was fun and games but it's Larson all the way

Truex please & thanks!!!

Hamlin wins stage 1, and Blaney takes 2nd. Byron was 12th, so Blaney is now +8 above Byrron for the last spot.

 

[dara]

Blaney takes stage 2, followed by Hamlin. Hamlin and Byron are now tied for the last spot, but Byron was in 20th compared to Hamlin in 2nd. So any combo of move up by Byron or drop by Hamlin could decide who moves on. Will see...less than 250 laps to go...

You know, just in case

Go Go Blaney !!

Glad to see Byron in as well, after the great year he has had

 

[dara]

Hottest racer going into the Season Finale is Ryan Blaney. He ultimately gets in with a win, but he almost had to fight through a dq. Tough breaks for Truex and Hamlin with cars that broke in the last few races.

Starting Order:

 

[dara]

Vanilla pick... Kyle Larson for the win and the NASCAR Championship. It wouldn't surprise me though if Blaney wins it all, but I normally don't pick from the middle of the starting order.

 

[4me2c]

Will try again with #4 gotta, Win One of these last Ones...!!!
