00:00 >> Right off the bat on this start, this is one of the wildest, chaotic starts we have
00:11 on all of NASCAR.
00:13 >> Here they come to the green for 500 kilometers.
00:18 >> Look at that.
00:21 One car on the racetrack.
00:22 All the way back at chastain.
00:26 >> Four wide, mid-back.
00:27 >> A lot of cars using that apron already.
00:37 Ty Gibbs got a great start.
00:39 >> We saw Ty Gibbs right into the side draft.
00:41 He knew Denny Hamlin was going to come down the racetrack and he wanted to follow him
00:44 down on the apron.
00:46 Ty Gibbs has been doing an amazing job at the end of last year and this year.
00:49 You know him on that train.
00:50 I think he's in position to win a race as soon as it all comes together.
00:55 These Gibbs cars notoriously have been very good here at Phoenix.
00:58 Whether it's XFINITY, cup cars, new style, old style, these guys have all done really
01:03 good in Gibbs cars.
01:06 >> Larson Suarez.
01:08 Big trouble in the back straightaway.
01:10 A lot of damage to the left front of Austin Sendrick's car.
01:14 We're under the first caution of the day.
01:21 Back at 30.
01:22 >> You can see him sideways clearing the back of the screen.
01:25 >> Kraus is around.
01:26 Stacks them all up behind him.
01:28 Sendrick clips him with the left front.
01:31 Then Austin hits him.
01:34 >> Everybody is still on the lead lap except Austin Dillon back in the race.
01:37 Three laps down.
01:38 Ty Gibbs got the lead from the outside on the initial start.
01:42 He takes the inside this time.
01:44 >> Big crossover from Reddick on the bottom.
01:46 Came from the outside looking under.
01:49 Erik Jones holding strong on that outside.
01:51 >> The hard part about that apron, as you see Tyler Reddick down on the bottom, it's
01:54 just hard to get the car to rotate and get up off the corner in the throttle.
01:58 Those guys on the outside in the groove have that momentum to go back by him.
02:01 >> It will be three to go in the stage this time.
02:05 Reddick sends it in on the inside.
02:08 Edges ahead.
02:09 And he's going to lead maybe his first lap of the day.
02:12 Maybe.
02:13 >> He just barely missed that left front on the yellow line down there.
02:16 When you miss that yellow line you have to wait on the front to turn a little bit longer.
02:20 This seems to be his better end.
02:22 He has the option to drive down on the apron on the exit.
02:25 He's got him cleared this time.
02:28 >> Tyler Reddick to the lead.
02:29 >> Going to be a busy pit road as soon as this caution comes out.
02:33 He is pulling away.
02:35 He likes what he feels so far.
02:36 His crew chief on the box, he's liking them lap times.
02:41 >> We're going to finish stage one with 34 cars on the lead lap.
02:47 Austin Dillon multiple laps down and Austin Sendrick out of the race on a lap six crash.
02:52 For Tyler Reddick, his first stage win of the season.
02:57 And his first at Phoenix.
02:59 Green flag.
03:00 You're about to see why this grandstand is packed.
03:02 Look at this.
03:06 >> Man, three, four wide.
03:17 Four rows deep.
03:18 Look at this.
03:19 Three wide getting down here.
03:22 This is the corner that gets really tight.
03:26 >> Jamie, what happened to Erik Jones on that pit stop?
03:31 >> He came in fourth and went out ninth.
03:33 They had an engagement issue on the left front.
03:34 The team is looking at it right now.
03:35 The front changer said he wanted to watch and see what happened.
03:36 Here's the pit stop.
03:37 Watch the left front.
03:38 They go on.
03:39 It's almost a double clutch.
03:40 I'm not sure if this is something like what you saw last week in Las Vegas.
03:41 You saw the pit stop.

06:47 >> I think it's a double clutch.
06:48 >> I think it's a double clutch.
06:50 >> Lots of changes on the team but they've definitely had a struggle to the weekend.
06:55 >> You see him right there in the middle of the racetrack.
06:57 Just starts to come around on him.
06:59 Got it caught up.
07:00 Had to correct it.
07:01 Got up in the car on the outside of him.
07:04 It's just a handful of a race car.
07:06 >> Pretty much the same spot that Derek Kraus had his issues earlier when the car stepped
07:11 out.
07:12 >> Here we go.
07:13 >> Here we go.
07:27 >> Gregson up the outside.
07:29 Four wide.
07:30 >> We heard Denny Hamlin talk about his issues.
07:33 >> In the wall.
07:34 Just a bit there.
07:35 >> It was chase Elliott got into him a little bit.
07:39 Got loose.
07:40 Really upset his race car.
07:41 >> Chase is stuck in the middle.
07:44 >> Still losing.
07:45 >> Just saying on the outside wall.
07:47 That may have been hard enough to bend the toe link right there.
07:51 >> A bell and Elliott.
07:54 And around goes Logano.
07:56 >> Get it rolling straight here.
08:03 >> And another former champ having a bad day in Phoenix.
08:08 Logano was in the free pass position.
08:11 And Derek Kraus involved.
08:14 And Corey Loggioi who had just gotten the free pass.
08:17 >> And sure enough, John Hunter Nemechek ran over him from the back.
08:26 Around it went.
08:27 Right up into the traffic of other cars.
08:29 Corey Loggioi, nowhere to go.
08:31 Right in his lap.
08:32 Unfortunate ending.
08:33 >> Derek Kraus likewise.
08:36 Barry spins.
08:38 And Zane Smith hard on the brakes.
08:41 Avoids serious contact as he gets into Logano.
08:45 >> A little bit of strategy to keep an eye on.
08:49 >> Save, heck, I want to pass somebody.
08:51 >> They're going to be right here.
08:54 >> See martin Truex up on the outside.
08:57 Got a great run down the back straightaway.
09:06 And that's what happens on these restarts.
09:08 You have a lane that just opens up and all of a sudden you're passing two, three, four
09:11 cars.
09:12 And that's what happened to martin Truex.
09:14 He took advantage of it.
09:16 Now he's racing for the lead.
09:18 We see a little contact.
09:20 >> That 19 car is really taking off well.
09:23 What a battle for the lead.
09:25 >> That's what we talked about earlier, Clint, finding a lane that worked for you.
09:30 Apparently that's where his car likes to be in turns one and two for sure.
09:34 >> We got one around.
09:36 Denny Hamlin.
09:38 >> Single car spin.
09:39 Nobody gets into him.
09:41 But yellow fever continues at lap 215.
09:46 Racing for the lead.
09:47 Denny Hamlin goes around.
09:49 >> See Denny Hamlin on the bottom of the racetrack getting into turn one.
09:53 He's safe.
09:55 Gets a little bit loose.
09:56 Had to catch it.
09:57 Getting to the door of reddick.
09:58 And away it came.
09:59 Around it came.
10:00 Wow.
10:01 Did not see that coming.
10:03 >> Boy, that could have been big.
10:05 Brad keselowski was almost right on him.
10:09 >> So if those guys were, as we look at this one more time, those guys that just pitted,
10:13 if they were close on fuel and felt like they were in a position to make it to the end,
10:18 now you're going to have all these guys up front that have to pit.
10:21 It's going to flop the field, Clint.
10:24 >> 100%.
10:25 >> Kyle Busch's luck finally changed.
10:27 He is the free pass.
10:28 He'll be back on the lead lap.
10:31 Here's Ryan Blaney's view.
10:47 Green flag.
10:51 Truex with Gilliland in tow.
10:58 Tyler reddick back at 16th and Christopher bell back at 19th after pit stops.
11:04 Bell way on the bottom.
11:07 Gains no ground there.
11:09 >> And those guys that got flipped and had to pit right there, they're going to have to
11:15 do some super aggressive restarts and make up some ground really quick in order to make
11:18 up the ground that they need by the end of the race.
11:23 >> Denny Hamlin restarted 23rd.
11:25 He's gained three spots.
11:28 Wide in contact.
11:31 And into the fence goes Erik Jones.
11:34 >> Still green here.
11:36 >> The bubble almost got loose.
11:38 Had to run it up the racetrack.
11:40 Got into the side of Erik Jones.
11:42 >> Keep a close eye on Truex here.
11:45 41 laps to go.
11:47 Jamie?
11:48 >> Martin Truex Jr., you see him there.
11:50 He gives up the lead.
11:51 55 laps.
11:52 They just couldn't make it any farther on these older tires.
11:53 His pit crew is ready.
11:54 It will be four tires and enough fuel to get them through this stop.
11:55 If they can hit their marks and salvage some positions at this point, Mike.
11:56 >> A little slow on the right rear.
11:57 >> It won't matter.
11:58 Everybody else there.
11:59 >> I think he's going to be a little bit more aggressive.
12:00 >> He's going to be a little bit more aggressive.
12:01 >> He's going to be a little bit more aggressive.
12:02 >> He's going to be a little bit more aggressive.
12:03 >> He's going to be a little bit more aggressive.
12:04 >> He's going to be a little bit more aggressive.
12:05 >> He's going to be a little bit more aggressive.
12:24 >> His center corner speed has just been lighted out.
12:27 He was here at the test, put in the time, worked hard, and it's paying off.
12:32 >> This car can go anywhere on the racetrack, which has made him very versatile and be able
12:36 to get through traffic well.
12:39 >> Preparation is key.
12:40 Those guys certainly have checked that box here this weekend.
12:45 >> This will be his fourth consecutive season with a victory in the NASCAR cup series.
12:50 Christopher bell off the final corner, and he wins in Phoenix.
12:55 >> Excellent job, Adam.
12:57 Quiet night, Willie.
12:59 Everyone on this 20 car, thank you, guys.
13:03 Excellent, excellent car.
13:06 >> Quite a battle right at the finish.
13:08 Blaney Chastain.
13:09 Look at this for fifth.
13:10 >> He drove it off in there.
13:11 Put the pressure on him, didn't he?
13:12 I think Blaney thought he was going to do a slide job.
13:13 Great finish for fifth right there.
13:14 Blaney got him.
13:15 >> He's got a lot of power.
13:16 He's got a lot of power.
13:17 >> He's got a lot of power.
13:18 >> He's got a lot of power.
13:19 >> He's got a lot of power.
