John Hunter just wrecked his reputation with that move. Other reports also that the 00 team ruined JHN's hauler after the race, and also Custer got a standing ovation on the plane heading back from all the various paddock crews!

I only caught the end of that race, but it was one of the craziest things I saw allowed given no punishment, maybe ever in motor racing.

I presume there will be punishment for the subsequent actions, and one would nearly wonder if NASCAR allowed the win to stand to create controversy and for a 'see what happens next'.
Must be the craziest series in motorsport.

Final race of the season at Homestead tonight.

Down to the final 4, and the winner of the Sprint Cup will either be:
Jimmie Johnson
Kyle Busch
Carl Edwards
Joey Logano.

As usual I am supporting the Joe Gibbs racers.
It would be nice if Carl Edwards won one.

Was pretty great last night when Daniel Suarez won the Xfinity series in a Toyota the week after Trump got elected.

Jaysus, it really makes you appreciate having minimal ad breaks over here.

Hoping Kyle can win this

Wow, that was a massive crash with 10 to go, it was like a race at Talladega or Daytona.

Poor Carl, no sympathy for Joey.

Come on Kyle, it is your title to retain.

Ghost Train

Pretty Big wreck

Hopefully Logano has damage but i doubt it.

He has some damage, hopefully enough, and Jimmie has enough titles...

Did look like bounced off a few cars, will be lucky if it doesn't effect the car

I thought the block was fair enough

Cool_CM

Going to be an interesting few laps!

Ghost Train

Hard to understand Kyle Busch pitting

RobertKK

Joe Gibbs racing snatched defeat from the jaws of victory today.

If Carl had not blocked so hard I still think he could have taken Logano later, now Jimmie Johnson is a 7 time champion...well done to JJ...

Cool_CM

That was unexpected, terrible pit call.

Ghost Train

Good to see records being made (or equaled)
Just a pity it wasn't more about the racing those last few laps, wreck spoiled it a bit

TheChrisD

Ugh.

I know theres probably nobody here that collects NASCAR diecasts, I already created a thread and nobody responded.
I feel like the only nascar diecast collector in Ireland haha.
But anyways here is my newest 1/24 ELITE diecast of Martin Truex Jr's Bass Pro Shops Charlotte Coke 600 win from last year.
1 of 150 made. Complete with Confetti from victory lane, and winner sticker
