After he smacked head on into the wall,

Boy was I wrong.

I like the Roval; that probably means that the "old traditional" fan of NASCAR doesn't? Not just left turns!
Happy to see Chase win; my 2nd favorite driver.

That's better than a spin and win.

I love road courses. I'm a little disappointed with F1 right now, but they go to some beautiful tracks.

It all sounds exciting, PA. Getting NASCAR involved should be a big boost for the speedway.


Some news that involves both IndyCar and NASCAR. Penske Corporation just bought IMS and the IndyCar series.

Final 4 for the championship:

1. Kyle Busch - has no weakness, can win at any track & has the best pit crew out there
2. Hamlin - he is hungry for a title & he is running better each week
3. Logano - he is the defending champ & he has confidence
4. Harvick - had a slow start to the season but is really getting hot & peaking at the right time & he also has a ton of confidence

In the end i think either hamlin gets his first or harvick gets a second

Final 4:

1. Kyle Busch
2. Denny Hamlin
3. Harvick
4. Larson

well peanut we did pretty good with 3 of 4 & we both missed truex being there

Yes, we did good. I was really hoping Larson would do better. He's so talented, and unlike the other Kyle, he's a nice guy. -- Busch is a good guy, too. He still has his moments, though.

I know during the year, several people on TV have picked Hamlin to win the championship. I hope they're right. That's who I'm pulling for.

If Denny does win it, I won't mind too much.
It would be Hamlin's first championship.
The other three have won before.
Denny sure has had a distinguished career
and he deserves a championship one day.

But.................

I'm pulling for Harvick.

JGR with all of TRD's resources have the #4 car
outgunned and outnumbered. Kevin is the underdog.

~~~

Interesting to learn that the final race for the Championship
will be held here next year instead of Homestead.

Jr. was saying that Denny and some friends had a house
in Scottsdale last week and were kicking out there and
swimming in the pool instead of hanging at the trailer
at the track. Denny had to win it to get in it and he sure
did it. All or nothing, gotta give Denny some props.

That funky caution with 9 to go made for real drama.

Peanut and PA, you did a great job picking 3 outa 4 !!!

Here's to a great race in Florida.

Going to be crazy, no practice, no quals, 50 minute window Saturday for some laps:

Weather causes schedule changes;
Cup qualifying canceled, Saturday practice added

By Staff Report
NASCAR.com
November 15, 2019 at 3:45 PM

Persistent rain showers and brief bouts of lightning in the area jumbled Friday’s on-track schedule at
Homestead-Miami Speedway. Saturday was impacted, too.

Both Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series practices, NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series
qualifying and NASCAR Xfinity Series final practice were canceled due to weather on the opening
day of championship weekend. NASCAR later announced that Saturday’s Monster Energy Series
qualifying was canceled in favor of adding one of the missed practices back to the schedule.

The starting lineup for Sunday’s Ford EcoBoost 400 will be set by the rule book, meaning owner points
— Denny Hamlin will start from the pole position, with Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch
lined up behind him in spots 2-4. All drivers are part of the Championship 4 field. All points for the four
title hopefuls were reset to 5,000 for this race, with the tiebreaker being best finish of the Round of 8
— and then second-best finish as necessary.

That practice is scheduled from 2:05-2:55 p.m. ET, sandwiched between NASCAR Xfinity Series
qualifying and the Ford EcoBoost 300 title race in that series.

I'm sure that Peanut knows by now.........

Congratulations to Coach Gibbs, JGR and Kyle Busch for the 2019 Championship.
Also a shout out to Martin, Denny and Kevin for outstanding efforts this season.

The Championship will be here next year, first Daytona is next up and it can't
come soon enough for me. Let's see how they monkey with the rules again lol.

I meant to reply to this earlier but got distracted.

Some are probably unhappy with the change, but it kind of makes sense for two reasons. Gives the western part of the US a chance to go to the final race. And maybe weather would be better? It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Even though I wanted Hamlin, I'm not unhappy with Busch winning. He was my second choice of the four.

Not too happy with the Truck and Xfinity series. Told hubby, "anyone but Crafton" because I didn't really have a favorite. With xfinity, I was split between Bell and Allgaier.

Rookie of the Year for Cup should be good. Go Bell !

Jimmie Johnson announced that 2020 is his last full season. Not surprised. Hope he wins at least one race. It would be nice for him.
