NASCAR to crown Cup Series champion at season finale
Fox Sports ^ | 11/18/2018

NASCAR’s Cup Series champion will be decided Sunday when title contenders Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Martin Truex Jr. take the green flag at the season finale.

The highest finisher among the four at Homestead-Miami Speedway will earn the trophy. The other 36 drivers in the 40-car field are likely to stay mostly out of the way.

Busch is the 2015 champion and has momentum from winning last week at Phoenix. He also has the most coveted pit stall thanks to a controversial decision Saturday.

Rant; If Kybu wins, I may quit NASCAR. I give him his due, he is a fantastic driver, but he is the only driver in NASCAR I actually hate.

Given recent race history the opposite will probably happen.

Denny Hamlin won the pole but gave away the best pit stall to Kyle Bush.

NA$CAR has been going downhill ever since Harry Gant retired.

Joey alone gives me a good reason for missing most races,, Shrub and him have used their cars like battering rams, Poor ol’ JJ can’t even see anymore and runs into contenders, and the reigning champ is the biggest puss since Danica raced once upon a time.

btw,, where is Mrs. HappY , I don’t see her around or is it me who ain’t around 8-?

Here’s to HaPPy and the contenders hitting the wall lightly,, see ya!!

They should eliminate 10 cars at the end of each stage.. until its a pack of a few at the end uncluttered and allowed to really race.

Oh wait, that would require a rule change, huh?

Silly me,, you know how Nascar hates doing that.

They should eliminate “stages” and go back to the rules in the ‘60’s...

Been going downhill ever since they quit racing STOCK CARS!

The National Association of Stock Car Automobile Racing is FAKE!

They are driving highly sophisticated, VERY HIGHLY regulated purpose-built RACE cars!

It used to be “Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday!” Now, the cars are, as noted above, so highly regulated and homogenized, one can hardly tell the differences between them, if there are any!

Smokey Yunick has GOT to be spinning in his grave ate 6,000 RPM!

NASCAR!

GET BACK TO YOUR ROOTS!

RACE STOCK CARS!

MAKEM SAFE AND RACEM!

If they were to race "STOCK CARS", there'd be a whole lineup of front wheel drive, 4 and 6 cylinder, automatic transmission cars on the grid. Some hybrids, too.

You going to buy a ticket for that??
