Stenhouse has sure put on a show tonight.

that's the lame 24 car, not the 17, who hasn't learned how to drive that famous car, but BK emulated guess who in his interview

 

[Smoke]

Byron is 20, a rookie, and is driving for a struggling organization. the famous driver of that famous car had a hard time winning races at the end.

Stenhouse wrecked over half of the field and then took himself out. He probably should have stayed full time in Xfinity. Just another Elliot Sadler.

and Keselowski blocks just as much everyone else, his words are hollow.

the 24 is the one that needs to go all the way back to trucks, or late model racing, he caused it..... NOT THE 17
