Dale had an engine change, so starting on back row. Number of cars qualified. Chev 17, Ford 13, Toyo 9.
Lets see what the top 10 end up being.

following an outstanding pre race show, outstanding rendition of the National Anthem and its hard to beat a flyover by F-16's .... all crew members lining up to salute Jr driving down pit road .... reminded me of when Sr won the 500

GREEN FLAG

Damn ,Danica went up in smoke

 

[Coss]

Yup, and she was none too happy about it.
I saw Kasey is still running (he hit her after she hit the wall, couldn't get stopped in time) but who knows for how long.

congrats to Truex ..... he earned it .... Chase finished 5th .... my girl blew a tire and destroyed the 10 .... pretty much a fitting end to her year

Yes, the last 20 laps were really exciting, but Larson helped, he took the air off Shrub and loosened him, and that was enough to help Truex win!!
It was a great ending to the year, and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Congratulations Martin Truex Jr. winner 2017 cup racing!!!!

Did you notice after the race, they didn't interview Shrub? He's got to be off pouting somewhere; aww poor baby (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH)

 

[JEBar]

they finally got him on a mic and pout is a good word .... the 2 & 4 handled their interviews with class .... so did Shrub, just a good deal less class

 

[Coss]

Figures, it is so fitting with him.

Fitting end. She had to get on fire to get some camera time, about 45 seconds.
