Joey Logano Calls Out JGR Firing on Winner's Stage | Kyle Larson Gets Looks After Pace Car Mishap

Hi Kyle. Ive been following you for about 8 (ish) months now and i just wanted to congratulate you on your channels growth and success. Is clear that you have an obvious and unfetted passion for Nascar, and that comes out in the way you cover the stories.You're fair, impartial, and too the point. Congradulations, man. I wish you all the success in the world moving forward.

[@radamus210]

Highlight of the whole weekend was Justin A's Championship after all these years. And the 2yr extension was a nice surprise! Seeing Kelley and Jr going nuts for Justin was historic shit man, beautiful. And the way he did it?

[@kevinjohnson5280]

MTJ As a Blaney fan I was really hoping for a repeat. However, I was glad to see the Captain get his 3rd Cup in a row and a 1-2 finish. I completely agree with C. Bell's thoughts about Martinsville and the race manipulation that was going on. Can't wait to check out the new channel! As an older guy there should be a lot of memories there for me!

[@mrdecker2000]

Saw MTJ win at Charlotte in 2016 and 2019. Happy I got to see him win at least once before he retired. Great video recap of all races at Phoenix!

[@feliciapulliam753]

MTJ. Just recently found your show, enjoyed it!

[@samiam9008]

Some people fold under pressure. JL just seems to not let it get to him and that translates to his team who feed off his confidence. Congrats to the team.

[@MountainMomma1692]

MTJ is a great driver, I’m really gonna miss him. I had always been a Jeff Gordon fan but when he retired I went more towards MTJ, and love how he stood by and supported his girlfriend all those years

[@JGanes]

MTJ, Lagano and the Gibbs comment was AWESOME!!!!

[@emeraldeyeball2002]

It’s weird seeing how much stories came to an end this race, MTJ retirement, Busch’s streak ending, and SHR shutting down.

[@MartinMcelhaney]

And Bobby Allison passing

[@mlwilliam213]

People aren’t unhappy with Logano winning because it was improbable. It’s because he wasn’t even a top ten car all season. It seems like people keep saying things like “people just don’t like him” or whatever, but the truth is pretty obvious. Dude just didn’t belong in a championship battle. I guess it’s more like people aren’t understanding or at least not liking that the championship isn’t what it used to be. Champion used to mean ‘best this year’ and now it’s just a weird tournament thing that involves lots of luck and circumstance. It seems pretty indisputable that the championship is less meaningful than it used to be.

[@davidblack1786]

Johnson was the same way if it wasn’t for the playoff he would only have 3 and Gordon would have 7 harbors would have 3

MTJ, good luck on the new channel, this channel to me is one of the best for NASCAR news.

[@Country-Marshal]

Congratulations. You have one of the BEST channels for NASCAR coverage and analysis. Good luck with the new channel. MTJ is a real racer and one of the best at racing clean. As a Jersey Boy in the south, he proved we can do it just as good in the Northeast. MTJ ALL THE WAY!

[@Autarkis01]

MTJ... Joey's, like most Ford drivers', was really a tale of two seasons. For the first half of the year, Ford teams were at a clear disadvantage outside of superspeedways. Once they got things sorted out, they were able to compete on more equal footing with the Chevy and Toyota teams on a wider variety of tracks, spending more time running in the top ten. I suspect that if Penske and other Ford teams had a full season with a competitive car, the final numbers would have looked quite a bit different.

[@BeatingandBanging]

Agree!

[@duesouth901logistics4]

Instantly thought of “days of thunder” when the pace car hit the barriers.. “ hit the pace car you hit everything else out there I want you to be perfect “ as it looked like Chase Elliott hit him from behind at first 😂

MTJ, Good luck on the new channel!

[@kellyjones334]

Good job on the reporting...Thank you.

[@cathyschneider3780]

Christopher Bell is 100% correct. How can NASCAR take away his championship 4 spot when multiple drivers blocked him from advancing and didn’t allow anyone from passing Byron? It ruined the end of this season.

[@Imuprightnow]

Bell Revenge Inbound

[@easyenetwork2023]

Bell then ran into Byron late in the race, so he got his revenge.

[@Imuprightnow]

@ not nearly enough

[@bigrooster6893]

The Chevy drivers maintain race speed Wallace got totally out of the gas and Bell stayed in the gas all of all the wall Bell broke the race rules the Chevy drivers didn’t.

[@Imuprightnow]

@ chastain couldve wiped his ass with byron if he wanted to, check the smt, both bells and chastains, bell in car shows him fighting to get off the wall. Chevy did not meet 100% rule by chastain not passing a clearly dropping byron.

[@asmilingguppy]

Mtj not a Logan’s fan at all but I think he derives credit for winning, it’s his job to use the system to his advantage.

[@RR-xu5cj]

People mad at Logano but he just did what he could in the format given. I think JGR will win soon but it probably won’t be Ty. MTJ

[@debbie1862]

MTJ. Just found your channel recently and enjoy hearing your take on things. I personally think the playoff format leaves a lot to be desired. I particularly dislike having only one race as the final. And I think the regular season champion should have an automatic place in at least the Round of 8, if not an automatic place in the final four.

[@BK-qo5fn]

MTJ. Really looking forward to your new channel Kyle. As for Logano, he is very deserving of this championship. He, like everyone else, played by the same rules. Very happy for Allgiaer. And thank you Kyle for your smart take on NASCAR in general. I really enjoy your take on the sport.

[@sunnydoodoo]

MTJ. It was a good race weekend and can say that I wasn't surprised by any of the wins. Wish Bell or Bowman wouldn't have been kicked out of the playoffs that way to give Logano a chance to win in the even year of 2024, but that's just how the cookie crumbles. Great Video!!!

[@Thegeneralms1]

Bell is 100% correct

[@Zombified2012]

But he is also guilty of doing the EXACT SAME THING in 04. Soooo. Cry cry cry

[@markspencer3680]

The Chevy drivers were in the wrong but so was Bell. That’s why he was penalized. Just because someone else does wrong doesn’t mean you should also. He knew he drove against the fence after the race, you could see it in his face. He is a good driver he will be back. Just wish it would be in a Chevy or Ford.

[@Jim-InHisGrip]

Kyle, you are truly a great sports newscaster. You have given us viewers a “very good summary” on the last race of the year. I watched the race with a “steno pad” divided into four columns - one for each of the “Final-4”. I had my iPhone, iPad, MacPro and HP all running covering the race from “in-car”. It was an exciting race, especially at the end where Ryan Blaney had the speed, but these Gen-7 cars are so equal, passing to catch Joey burned up his tires. A week ago I wrote down my predictions; Winner Joey, as that team is laser-focussed. Ryan Blaney would somehow break. William Bryon would just not be fast enough, and Tyler Reddick and team would stumble. I got pretty close on my predictions. My dear wife compliment me that I was truly a “fan of the sport”. I was humbled by her kind comments. I say all that to say that your description here today of the race, not only helped me “relive” the race once again, but ADDED to the final championship race for me. Thank you so much for all the work, studying and preparation that you put into this “replay” of this great race. Oh, so many storylines. I am not sure even where to begin but let start with here. Joey played by the rules and won, fair and square. (This coming from a Mellon Man fan.) Joey is not my favourite driver for sure, but he and every person at Penske simply out raced, out planned, out prepared, and out strategized all the competition, including their 2023 champion teammate. Joey’s story is similar to Justin Alligaier story, and what a story Justin brought. Justin is one of my “faves”. I was cheering for him on Saturday, and boy he sure did not make it easy for himself. I loved Justin’s, “key the JAWS music”. I watched his car, thread that finish and win the championship. Oh how exciting it was. What a deserving champion. So to is Joey a deserving champion - he won playing by the rules and out raced them all. The championship started with 16. Yes, Kyle Larson had 6 wins, but he also had 50 playoff points to give him an advantage in “this system” of crowning the “best”. Kyle, and all the others, simply, over the 10 races, were NOT the best - they faltered, and the best, Joey Lagono got better and better. Like you, Kyle, after Bowman et al, couldn’t get their weights right, Joey getting back in, was all that Penske.org needed to repent, and “put right their stride” and shut down all the naysayers with what we all watched that team do!! It was amazing. If Kyle Larson was the best, why did he not win? When the race really counted, and the pressure was truly ON, it was Joey Lagono and team that was up for not being rattled, and NOT Kyle Larson and team. Winning is VERY difficult! Winning when you have to is even harder. Kyle Larson was up for it, but Joey Lagono was. This is already long so I won’t go much more but to say there are many, many stories that are quite significant to the futures of NASCAR, drivers and teams, to the fans…..2025 is going to be a year of change like no other in recent memory. NASCAR will not look the same at all. I hope our sport can survive and we can show the world the very best of our talent to the greatest number of eyes. That the world has more respect for NASCAR and the choices it makes for itself, the teams, the drivers and the fans. May they not lose their way as they grow into this AI digitized Age. Thank you so much Kyle, you truly made my recap of Sunday’s race GREAT! I look forward to your new channel as I know I will learn about sports that I know nothing about, through yours “eyes upon the past”, and become a new fan. May I be the surprise winner of MTJ’s helmet. LOL 😂 MTJ Jim

MTJ It seems like most of the issues NASCAR has had to adjudicate lately are side effects of the playoff system. Real competition has been stymied in so many ways, (stage racing, playoffs, manufacturer influence) that it feels less and less like a real sport every season. I'm not a big Joey fan, but congrats for exposing the shortcomings of a championship that rarely recognizes the best performers.

Logano earned it on the restart, one of his best of his career, by getting by both Larson and Elliott to set off on Byron. 17th place average finish or not he was second in wins with 4 and won 3 of the last 10 races. Best over the last 10 races.

MTJ Flashback ideas. - The guy Woody Hayes punched.-The PI flag in the Miami/OSU NC game that gave OSU another shot at winning.-Christian Laettner's Dream Team Experience - Larry Brown's Super Bowl MVP - Jeff Gordon's 17 Top 5s in a row. Ended by a rain shortened race that he probably would have won. I was not a Gordon fan, but that is still one of the most amazing records in sports. -Not 20 years, but Flutie's drop kick. Getting the inside story from everyone would be cool. - Texas beating Nebraska in the 1st Big 12 Championship with James Brown fake handoff to Ricky Williams and a roll out pass and long gain on 4th down to seal the win. - 85 Villanova Wildcats - 1983 Daigerfield, Texas Tigers HS Football team. Record 16-0. Outscored opponents 631 to 8 and the 8 points was a single score from a higher classification team, the extra point was blocked and a safety. 13 shutouts in a row. 0 points allowed in district play and 0 points allowed in the playoffs. They averaged 39 points per game almost exclusively running and allowed on average a half a point per game. Look them up. - Flo-Jo's record breaking performances and the still standing records and controversy.
