Sunday night, Logano climbed as far as third place and in position to take lead at Phoenix during the final caution before the red flag came out.
Earnhardt had been eliminated from the playoffs in the second round. He said we played by the rules and lost by the rules.
Unfortunately for them, it did.
“I’m excited about our chances and our opportunity”, Gordon said. You’ve heard me say this before, but I refer to Jeff as the G.O.A.T. â the Greatest of All Time, and I really mean that. “Sometimes you don’t”, he concluded. Gordon: “I suck on new tires”.
As the rains came down in the desert, Gordon – who will retire after this season – was the only driver who had no worries playing the Chase waiting game. Homestead is a really good racetrack for me. I don’t care if we do this thing with row boats or on foot whatever we got to do. “In the big picture, we are racing for the championship next week”. It will be a nice mixture of old school and current school in my book.
“I don’t think it matters what’s fair, it matters what entertains the fans”, Keselowski said. The driver who has the best finish among those four will be crowned the champion. He was out for 11 races. In NASCAR, the athletes keep competing – which makes it easy to wonder what would have happened had one or two small things gone differently. But the green flag never waved and Logano will have to wait another year before he can repeat last season’s first appearance in the Final Four at Homestead.
This has been the best season of Martin Truex Jr.’s career and he doesn’t want it to end just yet. Instead of having 93 more miles to determine their title fates, they were left standing underneath umbrellas as NASCAR called the race 20 minutes before midnight on the east coast. Not Denver, N.C., just north of Charlotte, but Colorado, making it harder to pull talent to the team. We’ve got Gordon, attempting to ride off in to the sunset with his fifth championship. Their weekly performance and finishes weren’t quite as good.
“I know there’s a lot of guys that wanted to race this through and I totally understand – the 19 [Carl Edwards], the 41 [Kurt Busch], a lot of guys wanted to get an opportunity”, Earnhardt commented.
At lap 40, NASCAR called a previously scheduled competition caution to assess the condition of the track with Jimmie Johnson in the lead. Harvick is looking to successfully defend his 2014 title. Gordon clinched his advancement to the final round of the Chase with his win at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway on November 1. Yes, it is Kevin Harvick. He literally had to win the race to win the championship past year, and he did just that.
“You can’t help the weather”, Logano said. I like that about him. “This is a numbers and inches – it didn’t add up for us”.
“We’ve overcome a lot of odds and I’m just proud to be part of this group”, said Truex. If that last little bit out of the auto today. They are bad-fast no matter where they go.
The Phoenix track has hosted 38 top-tier NASCAR races. Gustafson: “Because we’re 22nd, going backward”.

Logano, who is the current wins leader in NASCAR this season, was wrecked by Matt Kenseth at Martinsville in the first event of the Eliminator Round, knocking him out of the race. Their time will come and they will succeed in the moment. “But, hey, you lose a few and you win a few like that”. We’ve run up front, we’ve run strong. It was his third win of the year.
