You may think that Kentucky is famous for their chicken, but today, it was famous for a first time winner. Just when you thought KH was going to win, it came down to a final restart where Harvick couldn’t quite close the deal to be top colonel in Kentucky. Instead of Harvick running away and hiding, the General was able to get around Martin Truex and hold on and win for the first time. Cole Custer, from Redding, California, punched his ticket to the playoffs. Just because you make it in the playoffs doesn’t mean you will hold up the big trophy at the end of the NASCAR road. Jimmie Johnson, who was struck by coronavirus earlier this month, showed how much power a seven time champion can have by being at the front of the field for most of the day. The next time I will talk to you will be after the all star race in Thunder Valley, to find out who will shine the most. Then it is on Texas, where they will determine who will be king when the gunsmoke settles.
