Sad that David Pearson passed away. The Silver Fox was great and had an awesome rivalry with Petty. My mom & dad were big Petty fans but had respect for Pearson as well. I hope Logano doesn't win the title Sunday. I can't stand him..Pretty sure he's got a couple enemies on the track that will make sure he doesn't. MTJ all the way. I wanna see FRR go out on top, this being the final race for the organization. Yeah it would be cool for Truex to win it again.. I'd rather see Harvick than Busch as well..

Truex and Furniture Row bringing out the flat black car for one last race Such a beautiful car......I am gonna miss FRR. MTJ was fastest in both practices today too. Only a good sign for Sunday.

Tyler Reddick winning the championship didn't do this championship format any favors in the eyes of fans.
EDIT: Him destroying the car isn't going to help either..

Bell deserved the Xfinity Series title, not Tyler Reddick but congrats I guess to Reddick.

Seriously.. how do you even run this car through technical inspection post-race? There is nothing there to measure / inspect. It's a JRM entry and a Chevy though so I'm sure most fans will just look the other way. God forbid if this was a Toyota car..

Let's not make NASCAR into the No Fun League that's the NFL. Burnouts are the coolest celebrations.

I know that's right. MTJ had a couple bent quarter panels last season and people were ready to draw and quarter him and all of FRR. But this is gonna be blind eyed and say how great Tyler did in winning. One race win this season didn't do this format any favours either, I agree.

Well the season officially sucked. Logano is the champion.

Bitch. Logano shouldn't have even been at Homestead for all but wrecking MTJ at Martinsville.

Well the season officially sucked. Logano is the champion. How the hell did that happen after the seasons Truex, Harvick, and Busch had? Didn't those three win like two thirds of all the races this year? Oh right, the playoff system NASCAR instituted so things wouldn't get "boring" at the end of the each season.

What a terrible NASCAR Season, this close to sticking with just Indycar.

I know it's not as exciting but god I would legit pay NASCAR money to bring back the Winston Cup championship format just so the guy who had the best season rightfully walked away being able to be called the Champion for that year. I don't have anything against Logano since I'm a Brad K guy but this format just kinda sucks, regardless of any drama it might bring.

What a terrible NASCAR Season, this close to sticking with just Indycar. I mostly watch that. Usually tune into Nascar with 25 laps to go. Except for Martinsville, Richmond and Bristol races. Congrats to Sliced Bread! Guess he'll be inducted in HOF next year..

We'll be told a different story moving forward but nobody was better than Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick during the 2018 season. One of the bright spots was watching those two continue to build their legacies that'll culminate with them in the NASCAR Hall of Fame with eight wins each. Both of them had career seasons and would've been a championship fight for the ages in a bygone era. The fact that they'll end up 3rd and 4th in the standings is absurd. It's a shame that two career seasons will be nothing more than an asterisk / footnote during the 2018 season because manufactured "drama" is better than actual history.
That is what I'm taking away from this season.

I wonder if Logano will buy Brad something nice with his championship earnings. Brad flat out gift wrapped that championship for him by wrecking the 19, conveniently after MTJ had passed the 22.

Also.. anyone who questions why ratings / attendance is down at the races has a pretty clear outlook now: The first 35 races don't matter.

-Driver wins the Cup with 1 victory & consistent finishes *Fans* "That's not fair, winning should count more then being consistant"
-Debuts the "Chase for the Cup" *Fans* "That's not right you only have to win for the last few races"
-Creates a playoff where winning matters *Fans* "But you're not giving the championship to the person most consistent"
NASCAR fans and wrestling fans....the absolute worse. No matter what they do, the fans are gonna bitch.
