*Racing for 2017 Cup championship

First of the Championship 4 across the line wins the championship.

I'll guess their order, vs. picking the winner of the race:

Martin Truex, Jr
Kyle Busch
Kevin Harvick
Brad Keselowski.

This really was Martin's year to win it all, as long as the Toyota engines don't blow up :)

[crazed 9.6]

Martin Truex Jr has my vote too

It is his year :)

[dara]

Nice tribute by the pit crews to Junebug.

[crazed 9.6]

very nice :)

I am at the local Boston Pizza Sports bar watching the race today, and CFL semi finals too.
There is a big screen TV in every direction I look :)

Here we go...I am hyped !

[dara]

Larson wins the first stage, but the Championship 4 are right behind them in order.

[dara]

Danica on fire.... the car... She's coming back for Daytona and Indy at least.

[crazed 9.6]

Go Go on fire !!!
wow that was a smoke filled car alright ... damn.

[dara]

Truex flipflops to the top of the field after the pit for Stage 2. Larson gets the stage again...

[dara]

Truex losing ground to Kyle, then a yellow.

[dara]

Now looks like a strategy race now. Kyle Busch on a long run.

[dara]

Kyle Busch completes the green flag stops... Truex goes to the front.

[dara]

Caution! Kurt Busch hurts his bro!

[dara]

35 laps to go, Truex, Busch and Harvick bunched.

[dara]

Now coming down to Truex and Kyle B. 16 to go.

[dara]

5 to go. Busch slightly faster, but can't close the gap.

[dara]

Congrats Martin Truex Jr!. Followed by Kyle, then Kyle Larson, Harvick ....


Order was correct! LOL.

[dara]

Yellow smoke! Awesome burnout.

[dara]

Congrats to Dale Earnhardt, Jr. on a great career.
