Championship 4 Predictions -




 Logan - Chase Elliott 


Zach - Denny Hamlin: Eventually Denny Hamlin has got to win one right? Denny Hamlin is my pick because he has the best stats at Phoenix amongst this year's Championship Four. He has the best average finish, most Top 10s, and Top 5s, as well as 2 Wins tying with Joey Logano. I wouldn't be surprised if a non Championship Four driver (Harvick) wins this race, and if that's the case I will take Denny Hamlin and his stats at Phoenix in a one off championship race.


Peyton - Denny Hamlin : It's no secret that Denny Hamlin has the best stats of the championship four at phoenix - BUT I want to talk about just pure luck. After an unfortunate end to last year's season, this man go his third Daytona 500 win this year and (along with Kevin Harvick) went on an absolute tear! All year long everyone said Kevin Harvick would win the championship because he's amazing at Phoenix, but luckily for Hamlin, Harvick didn't make the cut...leaving Hamlin to take the trophy home. 


Adam - Denny Hamlin : Of the four playoff drivers, Denny has had the best season - and has the best career record at Phoenix. He also has the second-best record at short tracks, behind only Kyle Busch. Last year when Phoenix was the cutoff race, Hamlin showed he performs well under pressure. Denny finishes 2nd , with HArv


AJ - BRAD KESELOWSKI :Team Penske has shown all season that they have the most consistent averages through the season. All of their drivers won multiple races. While Harvick and Hamlin won MOST events this year, a Team Penske Ford was always in the picture.  Keselowski's experience as a young champion in 2012 and consistent on-track success make him the best in my opinion. It helps that he will likely have the least amount of media following him this week. Look for #2 to get championship 2 this weekend in sunny Arizona.

Letter From The Editor - ''My Personal Story, and Racing Refresh's Commitment to Motorsports Diversity."

I have been a true student of motorsports since year 2000 when my uncle moved to Columbus, OH and introduced me to Big and Little E . Prior to my pursuit of racing knowledge, I have distinct memories of watching Dennis Anderson's monstrous Grave Digger, or King Kenny Bernstein's iconic Budweiser livery win countless races. I remember the rainbow assortment of Pontiac Trans-Ams race in the prestigious IROC events. I sat in amazement as the greatest racer that ever lived, Michael Schumacher won what felt like every start of his career. I always enjoyed motorsports, but it was the off-season of 2000-01 that made me crave and live for more each day.  My uncle had diecast cars that sat on shelves, each with their own story. While they were a wonderful collection, I think I assumed price tags in the millions of dollars as a child. Earnhardt's K2 , old Chevy hot rods, Busch Series this, Winston Cup Series that, he had a wonderful collection. There was one driver he highlighted to

                              (Kyle Larson celebrates in victory lane at Sonoma Raceway)       https://twitter.com/TheLTFiles/status/1401690984358944770?s=20      Kyle Larson has found a hot streak! after his stage and race sweep of the Coca Cola 600 last weekend, the Elk Grove, California native doubles down at his home track pulling off another sensational race winning every stage plus the race win in the Toyota Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway. This marks his third win of the year and thus putting him in 1st in playoff seeding. This is not only Hendrick Motorsports fourth consecutive win but fourth in a row of finishing both first and second, which no team has accomplished since the 1950's. Is Larson a new favourite at road courses? with an average finish of 15.2 over 17 career starts on these types of race tracks is almost twice the average finish of teammate Chase Elliott of 8.3 who finished second to Larson. It is not far fetched to say he is a favourite given how he has excel
