I’m glad that Steve Phelps isn’t someone I have to deal with in my life. He seems like one of those guys who’s put in his position because he has a rich friend in an even higher position. He doesn’t seem to know stock-car racing at all and he certainly doesn’t seem to like it or care about it. Seems like he went to business school then directly into that job.
If that was the case I think he would be driving the third car at his organization. Who would replace Denny Hamlin and don’t say Tyler Reddick because that isn’t an option.
im sorry but cautions restarts wrecks and contact are what seperates nascar from other sports, and which is what makes daytona so special in general, long or short road courses with no passing zones are the opposite of what makes nascar nascar, you really might as well watch f1
3 xfinity wins, 175 starts with half of those starts ending with a top 10, 8 cup starts with 2 top 10s with crap cup cars he "almost" won a few more races this year, like at xfinity's Daytona race. i was listening to his radio when he was running up front and he asked if he needed gas, his team said no he was good and then he run out of gas... a race he was winning, he lost due to his team, not him, same story happened i think a week or two later. another race he was running great and was about to win but then got penalized over something cole custer would do a few months later and cole did not get penalized for.
His first yr in 98 Xfinity car he had zero wins when season before briscoe had 9 wins. Don't get me wrong he has approved but custer is better. Riley has money to be honest without the money he is not in 23/11 team. He be ok but he is young and got potential
OEM, that is just a name and headlight and tail light decals.Racecars are all the same,motors are pretty much sealed,what is the OEM just a name..Denny is closing in on his retirement,Fed Ex is gone,no Championships,days are numbered.Riley is not ready for Cup and at 25 he may never be.
My momma always told me that if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all, so that’s it on James Small. I was not surprised by JGR’s move with Chris G. the organization really needs to get back on track, as for Dennis…well he will have to pull up his socks. COTA was not designed for NASCAR so no surprise there.
Herbst had a good year and was definitely improved. I'm not sure he's ready, but I would be wildly entertained if he got a first win before Ty Baby. Hamlin: just deal with it. If you really are all that and a bag of chips, it won't make a difference. Fontana is gone, let it go. MTJ doesn't care, so why should we? RCR had better give Kyle what he needs or he won't be there long. Just sayin'. COTA: dumb move.
@@TheeGlocktopus Hamlin fans scratching their heads and butts trying to understand why their guy is INCAPABLE of winning a championship....He ABSOLUTELY choked again this year. LMAO@UALL
@@eljefe62 Don't you find it odd that you're always quoting the same tired old trope? It's quite literally the only thing in the sport he hasn't done. It's the only thing you have to point out as a negative. But to answer your question, I don't think Hamlin fans are as salty about the lack of a championship as Larson fans STILL are about Pocono from 2 years ago.
About Riley.......his performance has been impressive. Not putting him full time in Cup because of his possible lack of experience would and could be silenced if you had applied that thinking of Carson Hosevar. Who has proven that he not only is holding his own but that he is consistently competitive. Also Riley was without a ride but now has a ride has a quality organization with very good equipment and personnel led by a larger than life iconic owner in MJ and then add Denny. I expect good things next year from Riley as long as he doesn't race around Carson😉
Quick comparison: Deion Prinetime Sanders as a player & coach talks a HUGE game but has backed it up. 2 Sport Pro, shutdown corner, and taken 2 programs to heights they have never or not seen in YEARS. Deion said "If your going to talk the talk, you better be able to walk the walk." James Small should keep his mouth shut because he does not have the numbers for this kind of talk. Also, I find it highly disrespectful and unprofessional. COTA changes = NASCAR once again displaying the SMH action. I just do not get it. JGR is a head scratcher because they are so good together. Clearly this is a mood related to the lawsuit and shows the true character of Joe Gibbs. Steve Phelps once again opens his mouth and shows just how CLUELESS he is to NASCAR. How is he even qualified for this position? NASCAR should have enough $ to build all these items in CASH & NOT debt. Kyle, have a great weekend!!!
What did you edit this with? A Sledge hammer perhaps? It’s jarring like when the “parts car” backs itself into the wall because the toe link got scared. Nice 🎙️ mic tho. Have a great weekend 🎉

Steve is going to drive the sport into the ground eventually.
Good for MTJ. James Small is awful at his job. Good luck Chase, he’ll need it.
Or could it be that Martin was just my way, I know what I’m doing. He speeds, wrecks, etc and blames others……
No money = No honey. FedEx $$$ gone bye-bye = Crew Chief gone bye-bye
JGR wanting Denny to retire.. they took his guy away
JGR wanting Denny’s salary to retire and not have any negatives spin-off’ from the lawsuit

It’s about money not talent

Hey Kyle still here and enjoying your analysis a great deal. Great work!
Thank you, Shane! Appreciate the kind words.
I think Gibbs is trying to force Denny out of this spot and off the team. I think that he is too controversial for him.

Actually the 3 manufacturers have totally different aero and drag. Aero differences play a big role on bigger tracks.

When is Denny going to retire. Hes nothing but a troublemaker.. All he does is stir up drama.
“Mo” Phelps…speaks …”WHOOP-WHOOOP-WHHOOP”. Still one of the three stooges…
How to make a good apple pie? Don't use bad apples. 23 😮 11
Fontana is THE most boring track on the circuit.
No track is inherently boring
@Cyogenic yeah... that's why they are ripping it up and putting in a short track
I feel sorry for Chase Briscoe as James Small ruins his career.

Denny "ABSOLUTE" HACKlin (aka 'The Fool')
Larson fans still salty from 2 years ago.

Great thoughts. Thanks Nick! Same to you.
Who's the host on that Phelps podcast? Voice is terrible

CODA not NASCAR
I wouldn't be surprised to see 23-11 and denny gone.
Why doesn't Cry baby Denny drive one of his own cars?
Dave Moody talking sounds like a clown. That hack radio voice shtick is so old and outdated.
Moody is a clown. Nascar mouthpiece
