Notes from the Glen
Notes from the Glen
Congratulations to Kevin Harvick for seeing where Tony was weak, and passing him at the perfect time. They both knew what each others car was capable of. Tony passing on the outside was phenomenal. But he knew Tony was tight, took his time, and set him up for a turn 11/1 pass on the next lap.
Tony personally took the hit for second place, saying he overdrove the last few laps. Zippy had told us earlier that the car was tight and that Tony would have to make up for the ill adjusted car.
Jamie McMurray
Robby Gordon blames his 4th place on a “conservative” DEI engine. Excuses from him are expected. We’ll see if his mouth gets him a faster engine next week. He’s mathematically eliminated from the chase.
Carl Edwards quietly creped back into the top 10 for the finish. His consistency is on, but too late in the season.
Kasey Kahne wrecked out in the last lap again. No chase for Kasey again this year.
Another top 10 for Denny Hamlin, another wrinkled up race car for J.J. Yealy.
