Playoff 12 by Manufacture
5 Toyotas
4 Chevys
3 Fords
My prediction for the final 4 is 2 Chevys
1 Ford
1 Toyota
THERE IT IS! MARTINSVILLE GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS
Good News - Denny Hamlin is still not going to be a Champion . Bad News-.....
Good News- Cristopher Bell is the single Toyota in the final 4 . Bad News- still a Toyota in the final 4.
Good News- Willy B made the final 4. Bad News-(for the competition) Willy B won Phoenix in the spring.
Good News-Ryan Blaney is in and Truex, Hamlin and Reddick are OUT! Bad News- Chris Buescher is out.
As I predicted previously... Hendrick Wins another Championship
Another lost title chance for Denny. Honestly, though, I wouldn't be upset if he never won one. Talented guy, but I find his arrogance off-putting.
I also won't shed a tear if Byron doesn't win one. Talented kid, but my god is he boring. He's got the personality of a sheet of plywood. He's so dull he makes Jimmie Johnson seem edgy.
Now, I don't care for Creed whatsoever. But.. He does have a point.
There is and always has been favortism at RCR.. Sometimes deserved, usually not.
Goes all the way back to Earnhardt over Skinner.
Harvick left because he saw the writing on the wall with the Dillons coming up. Then there was Hemrick and Reddick where Reddick was obviously favored.
Now, it's Austin Hill.
I'll also say.. I don't see that Creed did MUCH of anything wrong. I mean, he used up his teammate a bit, just as his teammate did to him. Creed was 100% a must-win.. Hill.. I think if he had finished second he would have made it. But.. should Hill have pulled over? No. Not at all.
First thing.. The 21 goes into the door of the 2 off the nose of the 20.
Then, the 21 drives it in too deep and again washes up into the 2.
The 21 about drives the 2 into the wall off of turn 2.. Finally, the 2 puts the bumper to the 21 going into 3. Not bad, doesn't wreck him.. Moves him up, gets under him. The 21 then about runs him into the wall again.. At this point.. The 2 seems.. Done. He drives in deep and moves the 21 up and they beat and bang.
They beat and bang more.. The 21 doors the 2.. The 21 then doors the 7.. And it looks like finally the 20 turns the 21.
Anyway.. I'm not looking forward to Creed driving for Gibbs. Don't really like him. But.. This situation at RCR is.. Not of his making.
I think everyone at RCR looks petty in this situation.

Probably summed this particular incident up well ... some might argue to my original point When Creed announced he was leaving he became Persona non Grata within Childress, hence the way Hill was racing him and Childress response. Having said that I haven't been following close enough to know if Creed has been treated that way previous and perhaps part of the reason he was leaving in the first place.
On another note. Who gets Almirola's ride at SHR? They bring Custer back up?

Word is they want Gragson.. But.. They need a sponsor first.. And.. He MIGHT not be the best person to go in the car when you're looking for a sponsor.
As to Creed. Whether it's true or not.. I think the reason he's moving.. And it's assumed it's to Gibbs.. Would be because he's felt like he's persona non grata there already.
Whether that's true or that's in his head, I can't speak to. Neither would surprise me much.
