  Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Kenny Wallace Show,
• 0:03
  brought to you by Jags, the leader in high performance
• 0:08
  aftermarket car parts. Remember to go to jags.com for
• 0:12
  everything you need to fix your hot rod up.
• 0:14
  And they're telling me they have truck parts and Jeep parts in
• 0:18
  stock right now. Charlie model says Herman, you
• 0:22
  can't have the TV in the background anymore.
• 0:24
  They might get mad at us. I said, all right, Charlie, I'll
• 0:27
  put it in front of me. All right, listen, we're live
• 0:31
  right now, even though this is take I'm watching the ending
• 0:34
  live. The race is over.
• 0:36
  The race is over. Ryan Blaney's the winner.
• 0:38
  No controversy there. Well, he has to go through tech,
• 0:41
  I guess, but Ryan Blaney passes Chase Ellet and just wins the
• 0:47
  race by almost straight away. Ryan Blaney just flat ass the
• 0:51
  winner. He was strong.
• 0:53
  Chase Elliot run good, but he runs second.
• 0:55
  Now I'm going to tell you the top three going to Phoenix to
• 1:00
  fight for the championship, and then I'm going to tell you the
• 1:02
  big controversy right now. All right, Logano is going to
• 1:06
  fight for the championship. Tyler Reddick going to fight for
• 1:10
  the championship and Ryan Laney the winner.
• 1:13
  He's going. So those three are going to
• 1:15
  fight for the championship, Logano, Reddick and Blaney.
• 1:19
  Here's the controversy at the end.
• 1:23
  Christopher Bell was one point behind Byron.
• 1:29
  William Byron. Man, I got so many names coming
• 1:32
  out of my mouth. OK?
• 1:33
  William Byron was one point ahead of Sea Bell coming to the
• 1:38
  last corner, just like Hail Melon, just like Ross Chastain
• 1:44
  did. So you remember the move Ross
• 1:45
  Chastain did, right? NASCAR said never do it again.
• 1:50
  Illegal. Well, guess what happens coming
• 1:53
  into Turn 3 at Martinsville. All right, Toyota teammate Bubba
• 1:58
  Wallace. He looks in his mirror.
• 2:01
  Here comes the other Toyota driver, right, which is Sea
• 2:04
  Belt. Sea Belt goes in, gets loose,
• 2:06
  gets ready to loses it. He slides up to the middle of
• 2:10
  Turn 3 and 4. Here's what the judgement call
• 2:12
  has to come in. Was it intent?
• 2:15
  No, no. Sea Belt did not enter the
• 2:18
  corner on the high side. He didn't.
• 2:19
  He didn't. He didn't say I'm going to ride
• 2:21
  the wall. He goes into the corner.
• 2:23
  Man, it's been 10 minutes after the race and they're still
• 2:26
  showing this. They're still waiting to listen.
• 2:28
  I like this. I always said this is what we
• 2:30
  need to do. I like this.
• 2:32
  It's live. NBC is not going away.
• 2:36
  Christopher Bell does get by Bubba Wallace and that ties
• 2:40
  William Byron and Christopher Bell.
• 2:43
  Christopher Bell and William Byron are tied, but guess who
• 2:46
  gets the tiebreaker? The tiebreaker goes to see Bell
• 2:50
  because he's got the most 2nd place finishes.
• 2:53
  So what we're waiting on right now is this.
• 2:57
  This is unbelievable. Did Christopher Bell illegally
• 3:02
  ride the wall? Because that is against the
• 3:04
  rules. I'm going to apologize if I'm
• 3:07
  wrong. I say Christopher Bell did not
• 3:10
  illegally ride the wall. And here's why.
• 3:13
  I'm going to state my case because he goes on the inside of
• 3:16
  Bubba. He gets down and three gets
• 3:18
  loose. He goes all the way up to the
• 3:20
  middle, almost halfway past going to bang against the wall.
• 3:24
  And then you hear it. And now I'm watching.
• 3:26
  He he rides the wall man, I'll tell you, I it could go either
• 3:32
  way. But just to put me on the line
• 3:34
  to make me look bad, I'm going to say NASCAR says he did not
• 3:38
  mean to ride the wall. He he slides up to it.
• 3:41
  He stays in the gas. He does.
• 3:44
  He does he ride the wall? Well, he does for half of it.
• 3:47
  OK, Now look, we got another one in here.
• 3:49
  I want, I want to tell you, I want to break this down.
• 3:53
  Go back to the Robo. Let's go back to the Robo.
• 3:56
  Joey Logano. How did he get in?
• 3:58
  Joey Logano got in the championship race because Alex
• 4:05
  Bowman was light. OK, this is crazy.
• 4:10
  Only here on the Kenny Wallace show while I break these things
• 4:13
  down like this, right? Joey Logano gets in because Alex
• 4:18
  Bowman, right, was light. So that put Logano in the 8, you
• 4:24
  know, kept him in the 8. Then what happens?
• 4:26
  Logano does earn it. Joey Logano and Team Penske,
• 4:30
  they go to Vegas and they pull off this miraculous fuel mileage
• 4:35
  race. And who do they be?
• 4:38
  Christopher Bell. Oh, so Joey Logano wins the race
• 4:41
  now, this is an incredible dynamic, right?
• 4:45
  So we quite possibly could have two drivers in the championship
• 4:51
  race because of rulings. And listen, NASCAR don't want to
• 4:55
  be in this situation. This is not NASCAR's fault.
• 4:59
  But this is what I asked for. I said don't go away, Keep TD on
• 5:04
  this. I'm at 5 minutes right now.
• 5:06
  I started probably 10 minutes late.
• 5:08
  We're almost 15 minutes later and oh, my God, I could throw up
• 5:14
  in my mouth for these guys. William Byron is nervous.
• 5:17
  William Byron says what he did, what Christopher Bell did was
• 5:20
  illegal. Should have never done it.
• 5:23
  I mean, Sea Bell, it's it looks like he just lost his his dog
• 5:27
  because Sea Bell knew he rode the wall.
• 5:29
  He he can tell on his face. Sea Bell's like, yeah, I rode
• 5:32
  the wall. What's a shame is that, you
• 5:36
  know, it's hard to tell these situations, but as Sea Bell's
• 5:40
  riding the wall, it's almost like, hey, you don't need to
• 5:42
  ride the wall because Bubba's not going to pass you back
• 5:45
  because he's a Toyota. OK, now let me break.
• 5:49
  Let me break the other controversy down a hand.
• 5:51
  But it's not controversy whether you like it or not.
• 5:55
  I'm just telling you what happened, OK?
• 5:57
  At the end, How the hell did William Byron stay in front of
• 6:02
  all those guys with 20 lap older tires?
• 6:05
  Pretty simple. Where's that?
• 6:10
  Right here. Look at this.
• 6:13
  Toyota protects their drivers. Chevrolet protects their
• 6:17
  drivers. So you can't say you can't go,
• 6:20
  oh, Toyota did this. Chevrolet did the same thing.
• 6:25
  Austin Dillon, right? Austin Dillon, Ross Chastain,
• 6:29
  They could have easily passed William Byron.
• 6:33
  You're listen, say what you mean and mean what you say.
• 6:39
  I'm going to say it and, and I mean it, no doubt in my mind
• 6:45
  that Chevrolet was protecting William Byron.
• 6:49
  I mean, and it's not illegal, but you got Ross Chastain out
• 6:52
  here, He flies it outside. He's going to roll on by William
• 6:55
  Byron and he stalls out then. So you got Austin Dillon
• 6:58
  Chevrolet, Ross Chastain Chevrolet, and they just sit
• 7:02
  there and they protect William Byron to put him into the
• 7:06
  playoffs. Listen, I'm at 7 minutes right
• 7:10
  now and this is unbelievable. NASCAR still waiting on this
• 7:14
  decision. So here's what we got.
• 7:16
  Blaney is going to the championship for Reddick, going
• 7:20
  to the championship for Lagano is going.
• 7:25
  Christopher Belt is 4th right now as we speak, 720 minutes
• 7:30
  into this, 7 minutes, 20 seconds into this 4th is Christopher
• 7:35
  Bell and Byron is fifth. They're both tied, but Bell gets
• 7:40
  the tiebreaker. I know I'm repeating myself, OK,
• 7:42
  just for just so you know, Larson could not hold off.
• 7:46
  They late. They let him out there on tires.
• 7:48
  He was leaning around on tires. Kyle Larson is 6.
• 7:52
  He missed it by 7 points. Danny Hamlin, he missed it.
• 7:56
  He's in 7 by 24. And then the last one was Chase
• 8:00
  Elliott -44 so I listen, we're going to keep stroking this out
• 8:06
  right now. Respond right here.
• 8:08
  What do you have? What do you got?
• 8:10
  I gave you a lot of scenarios. Tell me your scenario right now.
• 8:15
  You know, you flat ass have Tyler Retic.
• 8:20
  You know when you have Blaine, when Legato is the one that's
• 8:24
  interesting, right? Because I like I said, OK, here
• 8:27
  we go. Oh, they got it off.
• 8:29
  They're shutting it off. Everybody's looking.
• 8:33
  Here we go. I'm waiting.
• 8:37
  But anyway, Logano gets in. Remember when Alex Bowman's car
• 8:41
  is too light? But then he earns it.
• 8:43
  He earns it. They're smiling.
• 8:47
  They're smiling. It looks like NASCAR ruled.
• 8:52
  It looks like that's it. William Byron in NASCAR ruled
• 8:56
  breaking, right? I got goosebumps.
• 8:58
  NASCAR ruled that that sea bell rolled the wall.
• 9:02
  Listen, you asked for it. NASCAR is consistent.
• 9:05
  There. You got it.
• 9:06
  Well, not too bad. 9 minutes in. I'm breaking it live to you.
• 9:10
  NASCAR ruled that that sea bell rolled the wall.
• 9:14
  I just was thinking they were going to give it to him.
• 9:16
  I'm wrong. I was wrong.
• 9:19
  But the reason I was wrong is I was giving him halfway because
• 9:22
  his intent was not to ride the wall, right?
• 9:25
  I told you that he rode the wall.
• 9:28
  There it is. OK, let's give you the final
• 9:31
  four going. OK, we got.
• 9:34
  Oh, here we go. Blaney and Logano, 2 Penske
• 9:37
  cars. Reddick, Michael Jordan and
• 9:41
  Byron Hendrick. OK, this is good.
• 9:44
  This is good because you got Penske, you got Hendrick and you
• 9:47
  got Michael Jordan. We got we got Chevrolet, Toyota
• 9:52
  and Ford. All right, it's all good.
• 9:54
  It's all good. I just told you right there.
• 9:56
  You got the big boys in all right everybody.
• 9:59
  I stroked it out as long as I could respond right here.
• 10:03
  They're showing it sea belt sideways.
• 10:05
  They're showing it. He gets up to the wall.
• 10:08
  Oh, William was not going to come back around and pass him.
• 10:11
  He rides the wall and you can tell the look on AOC belt and
• 10:16
  and and bubble on purpose. Let's off.
• 10:19
  I'm not racing yet. So he didn't in the end.
• 10:22
  In the end, C Bell didn't even need to ride the wall because
• 10:25
  Bubble was not going to pass him.
• 10:27
  All right, respond right here. I broke all controversy down
• 10:32
  from those last races. All right, Remember, everybody,
• 10:35
  we are in podcast form. You can listen to this on your
• 10:38
  way to work. You know, we're up.
• 10:40
  We're on iTunes and Spotify. Wow.
• 10:43
  Respond right here. I'm exhausted.
