Murphs Nascar Pool

Chase Elliot gets his 2nd win of the playoffs with the victory in Kansas. Pit Road Penalties were abundant on Sunday in Kansas, from uncontrolled tires to speeding penalties. Interestingly enough they never penalized Clint Bowyer for their uncontrolled tire, Nascar seems to make up exceptions as they go. They really need to get a handle on the tire out of an arm’s length rule, should be the pit box in my opinion.
