Yeah, hopefully CGR gets their engine department figured out in the off-season. I think Jamie lost an engine one of those weeks too. Seems unlikely to me that Larson drove the car in such a fashion that they started losing motors out of the blue.

If you look at the talent coming up through the ranks right now, the future's looking pretty bright for NASCAR. There's Elliott, Blaney, Larson, Wallace, Jones, Suarez, Briscoe, Bell, Gilliland, Burton... a lot of good young racers. If you look at everything else, uh... yeah.

I think KyBu would probably the only other person who deserved (  ) the cup, he came in HOT at the end.But those last laps, oh man. I hope they do Hot Pass next year because that made it all the more amazing. Also, it was nice to see no BS caution at the end. Just 30 or so laps of pure racing.

The stages and the changes to the playoffs got me to tune in to more races this year, so in one respect that's a positive for NASCAR. On the other hand, throughout the year we're told over and over again that winning means everything, but for the last race of the year winning is optional as long as you finish ahead of the other three championship drivers? That's a weird thing to hype up for the last race. And just in general the TV coverage and the Rickallenification (over-hyping) of everything is a HUGE turnoff. The last race of the year was exciting because it was naturally dramatic on top of it being artificially dramatic. I can live with the latter if we see a lot more of the former.

Ungratek posted:The series champ has won the last race like 5 of the last 6 years Make it a requirement that you have to win the race to become champion. If none of the four do, then the playoff points leader should become champion. That way, it's at least consistent with "winning is everything." If NASCAR doesn't do this it's only setting itself up for a potential clusterfuck.

Also, nobody even bothers to race the four finalists. Larson certainly didn't want to be part of a news story about it. Make them run their own separate race somewhere else.

If you didn't advance by winning, you move on by points accumulated. All I'm suggesting is that also applies at the last race for the championship. If you don't win it, the points leader at that point does.

NASCAR's too busy quote:At-track rosters for all three series will fall under three headings: Organizational, Road Crew and Pit Crew. Job descriptions and roster maximums for each category: ...did they cut an over-the-wall position? Front tire changer and carrier, Rear changer and carrier, jackman, gasman. That's six.  https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2017/11/22/nascar-to-standardize-at-track-rosters-beginning-in-2018/?linkId=100000001506703 Ungratek posted:This is one the of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard No, it's not.
