and why is the race only 400 miles?
durability of driver and car
should be a factor in championship race.
make it a 500 miler

I wonder if that was before or after Truex smacked the wall

NASCAR has increased the tire allotment for tomorrow’s race to 10 sets from 9.
I could be wrong but I think last year it was 11 sets?
You are correct.

“Cup teams will have nine race sets in addition to the qualifying set they start the race on, as compared to 12 race sets plus one transferred practice set last year. That will bring tire management into play on race day."

Harvick is coming.
4-78-18-2 from fastest to slowest.
Harvick looks good and he didn't even use all of the track!

Glad to see an additional set. It will still require drivers and the chiefs to manage the wear.

Just shuts my eyes and prays the old Homestead track will be there as I try to wake up from this stage racing nightmare.

Well today’s the day...it’s the Homestead Miami Championship Bowl presented by Ford. I’m up and ready for a Game 7 moment.

That's when they throw the debris caution in the last 5 laps to set up the GWC finish.
We're on the bus headed for the track. Police escort!
I'm pulling for a storybook finish. Jr or Chase wins, Truex finishes second and wins the championship. Jr not likely so if not Chase then Blaney wins. Fully expect another dump moment like happened last year with Edwards getting wrecked. If KDB is leading trust Kes or Happy to make some room ahead.

Nope, taking great race fans directly to the track, even using the opposite lane to get us here! Not one 18 fan on either of the 2 charters!
There will be plenty of them at the track to watch Kyle get that cup
Have a great time at the race !!!
Get That 88 Up There !!

That's because they are already there sitting in their seats with a big bag of M&M'S in their lap.

Kes or Happy. Truex ok Love to see KAH Busch choke like Sadler
Those pit choices could make stops very interesting.

There were fans from near and far who came to see @DaleJr’s last race. One fan and his dad flew from England for that reason — and it’s their first race. Others came from across the country.

I'm counting down the hours until the green flag drops... but I had better go get some donuts and hot dog buns so I can get back for driver intros.

To be honest, I don't want any of these guys to win the championship. If I had to pick one, I guess I'll go with Keselowski.
Good news is ....... they all get the same amount of tires

Obvious that Gluck neglected to check Deathbed Facts thread prior to tweeting.
