Episode 18: Ryan Newman Wins Phoenix with Late-Race Gamble
from Lug Nuts and Beer · host Tom Crilley
March is for Madness. So an underdog winner and overtime should not have been much of a surprise on Sunday. Ryan Newman won the Camping World 500, and that got the Lug Nuts and Beer guys thinking: how would you celebrate winning your first race in 127 tries? They also talk about the biggest upset victories in recent NASCAR history, whether or not Dale Jr. fans should be hitting the panic button, and what they think Kyle Busch did after the race.Race RecapThough there were no punches exchanged this week, Joey Logano found a way to get the last laugh at Kyle Busch's expense on Sunday in Phoenix. With just a few laps remaining and Busch seemingly in control, Logano's right-front tire exploded, sending him into the wall and sending the caution flag flying. While most drivers elected to pit for tires, Ryan Newman and crew chief Luke Lambert decided to take track position over fresh tires. Newman led the field to green in overtime and was able to withstand a late push from Kyle Larson to capture the checkered flag for the first time since 2013.
