Dale Jr. owns and NASCAR is going to be worse off without him.

It's good that he's sticking around to do TV.

He seems completely at ease with the decision to hang up.

I am most excited for this new future of "Dale Jr., King of Twitter" and I hope working for NBC doesn't sanitize him too much.

Speaking of trophies, do they just not give out one for this race now?

It was probably more Monster than them. The Sprint Cup was a pile of poo poo, but Indycar's unicycle man trophy that they had for like a year was the worst of all.

I wish NASCAR fans would learn to give Brian France the Gary Bettman treatment.

2017 has been a tough year, so it was really nice to see the good guys win. Truex earned that Championship with a dominant season that was reminiscent of Gordon or Johnson at their best.

Great to see Junior happy, relieved, and at peace after the race. He made it the whole season, no injuries, and avoided falling on his face. Yea, it wasn't a glorious exit, but it was a respectable exit, and that's good enough. He looked like a guy who didn't have anything left in the tank and won't miss it (that much). I kinda expected more emotion after the race, and a quiet/solemn Junior as he struggled to put into words his emotions- but I was very pleased to see the opposite. That tells me that he is happy with his decision.

There was something poetic about how the race went for the three drivers "retiring". Danica went out in flames, from a wreck of her own making, Kenseth ran well and finished well and yet no one noticed or cared, and Junior ran a clean race mid pack, with all eyes on him, and finished by thanking everyone under the sun. If you were writing a screenplay for the most believable ending to a movie ever, this would be it.

If Danica is smart she stays away from racing. The same with Kenseth, he won't get a ride matching his talent so why would he waste his time. Hell, even Kasey Kahne should retire- he's just going to embarrass himself next year.

We helped CFS design his new paint scheme in Twitch NT2003 and the consensus was "We need Kidc".

Welcome to the offseason. :roflolmao:

If it could be Rowdy, Truex was the next best thing. Dude is a class act, and had an incredible season.

Dale fades away, after a pitiful season, and Chase comes in to save the day, for the bandwagon fans.

KB in 2018!

Dale's apparently not the only driver going to NBC next year:

Spoiler alert: the other driver is being "coy" about their plans, which is nothing new.

Watch, it turns out she does it for Indy.

Which, uh, I don't know how to feel about that. I'm sure she can do it though, she definitely knows how to work a camera.

When he didn't Boogity for the shootout this year I at first hoped Fox had finally told him to cut it out but then I realized he was saving up for a huge Boogity at the actual season opening green flag.

He didn't pull a Sadler and say Joey should have pulled over, he just said he used his tires up racing him, that headline kinda sucks.

He was clearly being lovely about it in the interview. Said something sarcastic about “we’ve got a good buddy there,” as if all the other drivers are supposed to just pull into the pits and stop.
