The best team DID win!
to Martin Truex Jr on his first Monster Energy Championship

Was happy to see him win.
All the guys at the shop we're convinced Jr would win. Lol

With that much fire and smoke I would have stopped the car too and left it wherever.

Well, those of us that watched the race...what did you think when Danica flamed out and would not be able to finish the race. She got out of her smoking car and left it at the entrance to the pits...

They had to leave the pits closed until they moved the car...

Did she do that on purpose as her farewell to 2017?

Interviewed a few minutes later...she seemed very angry. Only The Shadow knows.

There are only a few names that the rest of the world (apart from fanatics) has heard of in US NASCAR, Rincon. Names like Busch and Keselowski. Danica Patrick is one of the few, so she’s definitely a big name outside the US.

She definitely is one of the few 'big names of NASCAR' that people outside the US recognise - even some who don't follow NASCAR at all know of her as a 'big name'!!

All in all the race was kinda boring, no? Not a lot of position changes, seems where they started was pretty much where they finished. And those NBC race announcers are also boring!

I went about 50/50 between the race and looking at SL.
