Thank you, gentlemen.
Gee, I miss Johali doing this every week.

 

[racingfan7]

ISM Raceway is letting fans in for free for the K&N race. Pretty cool of them to do that.

Every once in awhile Tiny crosses my mind.

I'm really looking forward to watching the last Cup race I will get to see this year even though all of my main Chevy drivers are already eliminated. Now I will have to go back to my old driver Kevin Harvick even though he is in a Ford. I sure would like to see Alex Bowman get another win this year.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I might be on an island on this one but after a relative sample size I think I miss the old Phoenix configuration, with the dog leg in turn 2 was it? That layout was legit.

When I take over NASCAR and SMI, all turns will be renumbered so front stretch trioval turns have a number (including Phoenix), and quadoval fronts have two numbered turns. Oh, and each of the four turns in the Glen 'bus stop'. If the driver has to crank the wheel over, it's a turn.

that sounds more than fair, we can't have illegitimate corners

 

[StandOnIt]

Strong possibility that the same four teams will be in the final race as last year.

Sounds like a possible BOLD prediction for next year, too.

 

[Mispeedway15]

I hope this race brings it. Honestly some of the worst playoffs I’ve ever watched. Just no real close competitive racing down the stretch compared to what we saw earlier in the year

Anyone else stuck with a hockey game rerun on NBC Sports? My guide says practice, but stupid nhl game is on

esit: guess game is live. What the...

 

[Kiante]

Hemric is getting burried hard.

Reddick better be good out the box next year.

 

[acmerocket]

That's what I saw on DISH

 

[Kiante]

I streamed the practice on my PC off of the nbcsports website. No issues there.

This place looks so cool at night time. They should absolutely make the championship next year a night race, screw whatever NFL match up they'll have on.

IMO nothing beats Homestead’s sunsets. Its the perfect final race.

PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS!!!!!

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

JGR isn’t messing around this weekend. As tough as it is to pass here with the package, Busch will likely check out early.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Joe Nemechek will make his 1,184th and 1,185th starts today and tomorrow, surpassing Richard Petty's record.

 

[Speedbowl14]

Joe Nemechek will make his 1,184th and 1,185th starts today and tomorrow, surpassing Richard Petty's record.

Nope. Tomorrow is his 673rd Cup race.

And if Kyle Busch wins tomorrow that'll be win #56. Any other number you hear is fake news.

[Nitro Dude]

I can't believe that today is the day that I actually get to sit and watch a cup playoff race. The one thing that would make this better is if Bowman was still in the hunt "maybe next year". My line up now is Larson, Elliott, Blaney, and Harvick in that order. It was a toss up between Elliott and Blaney so Chevy vs Ford broke the tie. It sucks that Nascar and Nhra has their last race of the season on the same weekend this year so this will be my last cup race I can watch this year.

 

[acmerocket]

thats my lineup too.i wont get to watch it live,going to irwindale raceway today.

 

[Big John Kordic]

Sadly, today the sun will set on my boy Blaney’s chase run me thinks.
