Yep. Just found out about this. Honestly, there’s not a lot of names out there if it’s not Noah.

“I’ve had drivers drive for me before but nobody as stupid as Sheldon Creed,” Childress told NBC Sports as he walked out of Martinsville Speedway after Saturday night’s Xfinity Series race.

Wonder what Richard thinks of Hill door slamming Creed not long before this. Hill could’ve been in from finishing 2nd, Creed needed to win. If Hill is a team player they both make it in. But since Creed is the one leaving, they wanna place all blame on him.

What happened with Creed now?

What happened with Creed now?

He was in a must win situation to race for a championship, so he just moves (not even wrecks) his teammate who could’ve advanced with a second. This after Hill door slams him just before hand. Now Creed is taking the flack for them both missing, even tho both could’ve made it if Hill didn’t race like an idiot also.

Here's the video of how it all went down:

I've tuned to the race. Hamlin's 1st. Blaney's 2nd. Truex 3rd at lap 164.

 

[Doom]

Ryan Blaney's headed to the Championship 4 with the win at Martinsville~!!!

 

[Doom]

William Byron's advancing to the Championship 4!

 

[Doom]

Hamlin, Truex, Buescher and Reddick's been eliminated from the playoffs.

Positives: Blaney wins, Byron points his way in to the Champ 4 and Hamlin is OUT of the Championship hunt. THANK YOU Byron.

Negatives: MTJ with the pit road penalty really hurt him in this race, among other things. Was really hopeful that he could race his way back to the front but didn't happen. So that sucks.

Blows my mind that SHR hasn't won a race this year. I really want Harvick to win at Phoenix.

So down to Blaney, Larson, Byron and Bell. I am good with any of them. Maybe favor Byron most just because of his 6 wins.

The most important part of this whole equation? No title for Denny Hamlin

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I wanna see Harvick win the race next week
