    I think so.  Whomever finishes at the top of the group of four is the winner.
    Tempo can confirm or correct if I am mistaken.  Only started paying attention again recently since my son loves it.
    Yes.  Next race at Phoenix decides the cup winner.

    I am rooting for Truex and Hamlin.  If Larson wins that would be one hell of a story considering he is very much still lucky to even be racing.

    My son calls Chase Elliott, Smelliott.  So, we will be rooting for Hamlin first and probably Truex second....Larson third...and Smelliott last.  :lol:    

    Being a USC alum I am looking forward to the dash/race they are staging at the Coli next year.  1/4 mile run, inside the most historic American stadium? 
    NASCAR is on top of their marketing game.  Sure, their sport is mostly cheered on by a bunch of hillbillies but they are open/willing to do any sort of things which sound interesting to try and drive eyeballs beyond the hard core fans to their events.

    Thanks for the reminder.  I've seen the rams, raiders, USC and multiple motor x events at that stadium.  Never did I think that a NASCAR event would be held there...

    Not sure how it could be...but we will see.
    Grew up where the town next to us had a 1/4 mile track.  Used to go a handful of times every year.  My brother's first house was a short walk from the track...the idea that something this size will be raced on by the big time cars is beyond nuts.

    Can't wait to see that.

    To further blow my mind, I run at our local track 4 days a week -- 1/4 mile.

    Thunder Road. 
    This pic makes it look bigger than it is./




    This is more like what it normally looks like (without showing "the hill")

    You ever go to Saugus Speedway?

    No, but I know someone who swore by the bargains they got at "The Swap Meet by Magic Mountain" -- which when I looked up that speedway I see it is at the same spot.

    Yes!  That's it!  It closed down in the 90's I believe because the owner didn't want to make changes to update the safety.  My cousin dated a driver who was a legend in that area.  You could hear the cars all through the valley at night back when there were far fewer houses in that area.

    Larson has the best chance but I think Hamlin finally does it.

    Tough to pick against the guy who won by far the most times this year....but hoping Larson trips up somehow.

    Why.  If the points are out of the equation then they all have an equal chance, yes/no and Elliot has won a championship…

    Because Larson has been the most dominant racer all year and Hamlin has been great the last few races.

    I won't cancel Elliot but I like the other 2 over him.

    It's a big racetrack in PHX and that favors the Hendricks cars.  They had 2 in the top 5 and all 4 in the top 20 at Martinsville.  If the ball bounced a little better Lord Byron would be the 3rd Hendick car in this final...

    Or Bowman.  That team is stacked.
    Larson has to be the clear favorite  - doesn't mean he wins but odds have to be strong on him.

    If you aren’t watching you are missing out.  The top 4 cars w 25 to go are all four chase cars…

    Wooooooooo!

    Larson wins it and wins the championship!  Double dipping!

    man what a fun race.

    Multiple lead changes w the 4 chase cars leading at different times.  Man.

    Truex tried, almost got hammered when he pitted and a yellow came out.

    See you all in February!

    Congrats Kyle Larsons...10 win season and a championship.  He sure made the best of his 2nd chance.  Hendrick what a team he built...decade after decade he always has stable of good drivers...no one else does it better.

    New season!  2022 is here!.

    I should be going to the damn coliseum but...

    This weekend the race will be on dirt brought in to fill the coliseum and make a 1/4 mile oval track much like they did in Bristol last year.
    Why NASCAR Going to the LA Memorial Coliseum Is Bananas and Brilliant
    I have watched motoX at the coliseum before and it's amazing how they transform the infield.  Even if you're not a fan you would enjoy seeing this.

    After that we've got Daytona so it will be some fun the next few weeks!
