Cup Championship RACE thread --- Phoenix

[jws926]

Best team of the year won the championship, congrats Kyle and the #5 team, you earned and deserved it!

 

[Tony_K]

I'm so happy!

 

[JJ_14]

Where's Kyle Larson in the running order? Oh wait.

Congrats to Larson.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Hey Denny Hamlin is still 0/15 years!

 

[Kiante]

Hey Denny Hamlin is still 0/15 years!

Leave my dude out of this.

 

[nickp]

Wow Kyle Larson what an inspiring story Last year he was watching the Cup championship race from home and this year he’s the NASCAR cup series champion

 

[Nitro Dude]

If that performance by that whole number 5 team doesn't teach the youngsters of the world that you never give up until it is over I don't know what else would.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

That's a long way from losing his job last year.

Let’s not gloss over WHY, but yeah. Heck of a performance

Should be fortunate he fell upward.

He made the most of it though with a 10 win season and a championship.

 

[carolinabuff]

Anti-climactic race but the most deserving team won the championship so that's good. Congrats Larson and team!!

[Mispeedway15]

Unreal! Been a big fan since I met him at a dirt track 8 years ago. NASCAR champ!

Doesn't matter anymore. Never mattered at all.

 

[Michfan]

The cream of the crop rose to the top again

 

[beantownkid10]

This track sucks BTW...

 

[LARRY]

Polish victory lap!!

life ain't nothing but a funny funny riddle

Remember why he was sitting out before starting the “inspiring” crap. He was the best this year on the best team and he flat earned it. But don’t start this “inspiring” narrative.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Larson is the closest thing I’ve seen IMO to Jeff Gordon.

 

[Hotrod]

Just one more time

 

[jaqua19]

Phew.

Not sure what to say. Every driver I've ever supported as an active fan has failed to win a cup.

As an Edwards fan it was heartbreak after heartbreak.

Hopped onto the Larson fandom mid summer.

So sorry for catastrophizing Racing Forums, or aggravating any posters with overreactions. I thought this was a repeat of 08, 11, and 16.

So much anxiety and relief.

Congrats to Larson, to HMS, to Chase for being a champion and pushing Larson.

Not sure what to say. It's not like Carl Edwards winning a title, but I'd imagine this is close.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Hey fellas can I buy one of those blue flat brim New Era HendrickCars.com hats???

 

[carolinabuff]

What a great redemption story!

 

[Nitro Dude]

Thank you Rick Hendrick for giving this young man the chance to show the world just how good of a driver he really is and to give him the chance to entertain so many of us fans.

Nah you deserve to celebrate! Congrats, the best driver won the Championship deservedly so.

Rooting for a driver for years or climbing onto a bandwagon mid dominance? I'd doubt they are close

KYLE LARSON!!! How awesome is this?!?! Greatest comeback in the history of sports!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

It’s incredibly creepy what NBC brings up in these post race interviews.

 

[Nitro Dude]

After all that went on today I hope Katelyn hasn't already drank the tall boy.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

5 pit crew won him the title. They got him the clutch lead, he held on. I’m not sure he gets by 19 if they get out front there.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

5 pit crew is the MVP here tonight

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Hey they showed JG!

 

[Mispeedway15]

For sure buying a flag, diecast and shirt haha

we will never know and rightly so. It takes a team to win the cup

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Am we get an interview with Dennis? I need Schaedenfreud

 

[JJ_14]

The fact that there's only one active driver with multiple titles is mind boggling to me.

 

[beantownkid10]

Good news is the Denny Hamlin champion gear should be extremely cheap!

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

For sure buying a flag, diecast and shirt haha

Have fun getting the diecast next August. (Speaking from experience)

 

[StandOnIt]

not sure who got 5th between Blaney and Harvick, too close to call
