I still scratch my head over how NASCAR was pilloried over its 40 year relationship with RJ Reynolds and gave it up because of image concerns, but they embrace Monster whose products 'benefits' are questionable at best. Follow the money I guess....

I guess RJ wasn't too happy to sponsor something when they couldn't advertise their product on TV any longer.
There is a new product out there now that at least one state could advertise as being mile high but it probably wouldn't get past the powers that be.

Great to see the packed house at Bristol. Standing room only.

I appreciate the replay of the saddest thing I’ve ever seen in racing. The last lap of the #7 hauler leaving Bristol after my all time favorite driver died.

I remember that.
That was a bad year.

No RV at the moment.
Looking to hit the road in a year or two.

Dale and Rusty’s final tribute at the end of the season was such a fitting tribute.

Rumor has it they finished Bristol and someone named Kyle won after moving someone else named Kyle out of the way.

Well, at least the 48 looked like the guy I knew he was.

For folks who like real racing, it was a very good race. (I realize many people on this thread don’t really like watching competitive racing).

Yes, there was some rubbing, but nobody pushed anyone into the wall to make a pass.

The changing track and weather had everyone guessing the whole race.

In the end it came down to old worn out tires and a veteran racer who conserved his tires to have s better car at the end.

I never thought Kyle Busch would ever do that.

I watched both the Xfinty race and both days of the cup race. I thought both were good shows (weather not withstanding). My driver for this year Kyle Larson was tearing it up for awhile.

The pit crew member that caught that tire on the fly is a beast.
Also how did the Kyle that isn't a jerk 95% of the time spin like that without hitting anything or anybody?
Good race except for the weather.
