PODIUM #s?
21-8-20 is a new podium
For the first time in modern NASCAR history, the 8, 20, and 21 shared the podium!
PLAYOFF STANDINGS:
Denny Hamlin was penalized 10 playoff points and 75 regular season points last week. The 75 regular season points lost knock him from the regular season championship (15 playoff points) to 8th (3 playoff points).
Tyler Reddick has entered the championship-tier in the last few weeks. What do we think he’ll do in the playoffs?
NOTES/COMMENTS:
Wow, Harrison Burton! Huge win. Perfect story and perfect timing for a driver needing a 2025 ride.
Middle of his third season, 98th career start… Textbook 100-start rule…
As Alex points out, this is very similar to the William Byron story. Byron had some better numbers heading into the win, but it does match well. The 100-125 start rule says that Harrison deserves a 2025 Cup ride, unfortunately seats are filling quickly. The SHR driver/charter market doesn’t seem to be working in Burton’s favor.
