Exactly Right!!!!

And maybe, Cryle will learn some grace and humility in defeat.....nah!!!

Congratulations to Team 78, by any measure the season champs and the little team that could.

It's nice to see the good guy win.
Class move by Larson, he could have really impacted the finish.
Harvick gave a class interview. Kyle not so much.
The radio dance was annoying and I felt that it took away from all of the other racing that was going on for various positions.
The 10 goes out in a blaze of glory, how fitting. Odd place to park the car.

I was doing more important things. But later, I'll find out if I have a recording of the whole telecast.
But, I'm satisfied that Martin Truex Jr is a true champion. Congratulations to him, his family, his crewchief and crew, and his team owner, and his sponsors. And congratulations to NASCAR, what a boost for them.

Funny Sadler did worse on Saturday. Even went after the other driver, but no mention of that. Lol

She has a net worth of $60 million. Does she already have a ride for the 2 big races in 2018? She's definitely in a class by herself. Go Danica.

60 mil sounds like a darn successful racing career to me. [emoticon]

If you read/listen to her media acolytes, yes. If you actually read Chip Ganassi's comments.......not so much. Yet.

I was reading her career Cup stats on NASCAR'S website last night. Just not a lot going on there. Martin Truex led more laps this season than Danica has her entire open wheel/stock car career. But 11 DNF'S is a career best. Just sayin'

Her entire racing history is "an open book". Obviously, she's a financial success. She might even make it into the Hall of Fame. But, IMO I'm a better racecar driver than she will ever be. However, she achieved fame and fortune and I did NOT. I admire her very much. She's got many more fans than most middle of the pack drivers.

Me? Could care little about fame, bank account, or popularity. I admire a racer for what they accomplish 'in the office' not how good a spin cycle they can run. That said, you were a racer,a track owner and promoter. Doesn't matter what stage you were on, you accomplished stuff and I respect that.

Well as a Kyle Busch fan I willingly congratulate Martin Truax and the 78 team. I know that Kyle is not what the world considers a good loser but maybe that is why he has supporters like me. I like a driver who wants to lead every lap and win every race " I was a huge Dale Earnhardt SR fan because of how competitive he was". I also know that Kyle will never equal Dale SR. but he has that will to win that I want to see in a race car driver.
