Bristol: Trying To Fix A Car Problem With Tires
About this episode
Expectations were high for the NASCAR race at Bristol on Saturday, hoping for massive tire falloff but unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Denny Hamlin and his co-host Jared Allen discuss the reason. The guys chat about the imperfect science that goes into Goodyear making the tires. Plus, the real problem isn’t the tires, but instead the car.
Denny breaks down the lap times between Kyle Larson and Todd Gilliland. Another problem with the race was many drivers were satisfied with where they were running because their goal was to not wreck and advance.
Speeding penalties proved costly for Martin Truex Jr. and Ty Gibbs. The guys discuss how those penalties happened and how Denny was able to avoid having a speeding penalty.
Denny shares his thoughts on the four drivers who were eliminated from the Playoffs and discusses the drivers in a good position going into the next round.
They delve into Denny’s mindset when racing and how the ending of the 2010 season changed everything. Now that the first round is over, Denny sees this as a mental reset and said things are good with Lulu.
The only time Denny got worried on Saturday was a caution at the end of stage 2, but he was able to get valuable stage points.
Kyle Larson dominated the race and sits in first place and Denny thinks you can pencil him in to the Championship 4. They list the rest of the Playoff drivers and discuss how each person is probably feeling.
Off the track, Bubba Wallace signed a contract extension with 23XI. And, Corey LaJoie and Justin Haley are swapping rides.
