I see Effinger won! Got a Ford in the final

Harrison Burton wins his second in a row at Martinsville. Your final four for the Championship finale in Phoenix next week will be Chase Briscoe, Austin Cindric. Justin Allgaier and Justin Haley. Nice to see the only 2 Fords in the series both advance as the top 2 seeds!

 

[arff]

Big race today to decide final 4

 

[snopro]

yep fingers crossed

Starting last stage and Elliott is the best car and Harvick is in big trouble down a lap.

Chase wins a nail biter to move to the final 4! Here are the 4 finalists: Elliott-Logano-Kez and Hambone

 

[snopro]

Heres your top 10: 9-12-22-2-1-88-10-14-18-21

Sad for Harvick as he went a couple laps down and was back on the lead lap and needed 1 more point and turned Kyle Busch on the final straightaway to get by but wrecked himself in the process and finished 8 points back

 

[Rhodesie]

yup harvick admitted to wrecking kyle to try to get that one point. pretty scabby thing to do in my book. nascar should park him for the last race.
He would be talking plenty of smack if someone tried that with him.

Jones staying behind Hamlin was questionable. Nascar investigating today, going over radio transmissions during the race to determine if it was team orders for the 20 to stay behind the 11 to keep Harvick out of the top 4.

Looks like the 20 car was in fact told on the radio not to pass the 11. Can't see anything coming from it though, perhaps a meaningless penalty or fine.

After reading that article Troy I don't know how Nascar can honestly look the other way on this? Its obvious by the radio transmissions that they determined the outcome of the race. I guess you can argue that there was no guarantee he would have been able to get by Hamlin. I have no idea who should be penalized? Its not fair to penalize the 20 team because someone like Gibbs made the call. I feel sorry for Jones. Its not his fault. He is racing for himself and his sponsor. I wonder what his sponsor thinks?

I believe something like this happened years ago where Martin Truex was in the centre of the controversy. I think it was when he was with Michael Waltrips team and a team member pulled off the track for a fake repair so he would gain an extra point to move on. Can't remember how that all went down but I think Truex left Waltrip over that.

I know Newman did that to get in the Chase one year. Wrecked a guy to get in on the last lap. He didn't hide the deed either after the race and said that is what he needed to do to advance. Nascar was fine with it. Harvicks was far more obvious though. Lol.

I think the 11 should be penalized like Truex was and be knocked out of the championship 4. If Harvick is penalized as well, then the 88 should be next in line and be in the final 4. If Harvick hadn't have dumped the 18 then he should have been the benefactor of the penalty. But I am 100% in agreement, Nascar can't turn a blind eye to this, it's in direct contravention of their rules which they have reacted harshly upon in the past.

Surprisingly Harvick didn't affect Busch's finish as he spun a full 360 then drove over the finish line. He however lost 7 positions. Lol

Yeah, piss poor move there. I like Harvick, if he were in he'd be my favourite to win even tho I'm cheering hard for the 9 team. He went hard into the back of the 18....don't know what he could possibly have thought hitting him that hard, a little bump would have done what he needed. Frustration maybe?

Probably. He was definately stressed with his car lol.

I was surprised he ran that poorly. The cut left rear didn't help for sure, but man he was struggling.

I was devastated when Brad got his speeding penalty. He came out 3rd and was 19 points to the good. He is damn lucky Bullins gave him the best car he could have for the last 2 short runs and Harvicks didn't get any better or he would be on the outside looking in.
