Episode #15 Joe Gibbs Racing Bristol Chase Race Recap

Introduction: Hello everyone and welcome to episode #15 of Mikey's podcast. This week we will be doing a recap of the Chase race from last week at Bristol. Talking Points: Would Ty Gibbs repeat at Bristol? Would Denny Hamlin win again in the playoffs at Bristol? Would the Toyotas show some life in a critical race at Bristol? What would the Chase standings look like after the 3rd race of the Chase at Bristol? Driver Race Recaps: Ty Gibbs: - Ty Gibbs had one of his best races of the season by dominating and leading the most laps during the race - Gibbs had a very fast car and he was determined to win, but a late restart caused him to lose the lead late in the race. - Gibbs looks like a serious championship contender as he gained many points on the day, and showed he is one to contend with each race for the win. Denny Hamlin: - Denny Hamlin had a good race at Bristol, but it is not the type of race we are used to seeing him put together at Bristol. - Hamlin's ability to keep his composure and take the kind of car he is given, and come home with solid finishes proves why he is a threat to win the championship. - Hamlin looks to go dominate these next three races as they play into his favor, where he has shined the most all season long. Christopher Bell: - Christopher Bell had a good race at Bristol, but he was not satisfied only finishing in the top 10 - Bell had a lot of confidence going into Bristol, and he just did not have the car to contend for the win - Bell like Hamlin looks to go have strong runs at these next three tracks, and prove that he is still capable of winning the championship. Chase Briscoe: - Chase Briscoe had a mediocre day at Bristol as he did not finish the race once again - Briscoe gained some valuable points on the day, but it was not enough for where he sits in the Chase standings - Briscoe hopes to gain some momentum at Kansas and vault himself back into the top 5, in the Chase standings after the race at Kansas. Headlines: - NASCAR heads to Kansas Speedway otherwise known as the "sunshine state" for the fourth race of the Chase this Sunday - Kansas has been a very compelling and exciting race the past few years in the playoffs, and it sure will not disappoint in the Chase this year. - Look for drivers such as Hamlin, Larson, Elliott, and Logano to be strong at Kansas this coming Sunday - This is sure a race you won't want to miss, as it will be interesting to see who sits where in the Chase standings, after the first mile and a half race of the Chase.
