The playoffs have begun and after a Talladega without “The Big One” Kyle Looney takes his first win of the season in race number one of the playoffs. Looney, in the number 88 made a bold pit decision taking only one side of tires and running the others down to the wires (literally) to keep distance on the number 46 of Patrick Ganczewski to secure the win.

Speed played a huge factor, as it does in any super speedway race but you never want it to play the way it did for both the number 51 of Eric Wolfe and the number 99 of Orry Perce. Wolfe and Perce both got hit (in separate incidents) with speeding penalties during green flag stops in the final stage. This pushed Wolfe, a very strong contender for this Talladega race and Perce, a very solid underdog back into 3rd and 4th to finish the race. Wolfe could be heard on the radio after the penalty saying “I cannot believe I did that.. What a stupid *expletive* move. I just cost us the race. Son of a *expletive*.” Clearly he was not happy with the mistake as it cost him important points in a very close Playoff race.

The playoffs return next Friday at “The Track Too Tough to Tame“, Darlington Raceway. Will we see a new winner or a returning victor. Only way to find out is LIVE on Twitch on October 1st, 2021 at 815pm/est!
