LAWeaver Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 The new Xfinity and Truck rule limits Cup drivers to 10 and 7 races respectively in each series AND prevents them from competing in any lower-tier Chase race as well as any Dash-4-Cash event. In other words, if Kyle Busch, Larson, Keselowski, Austin Dillon, etc. want to participate in a lower-tier series, they have to do so between February and early September. Speaking of the Xfinity Series, congratulations to Daniel Suarez, NASCAR's first international-born national series champion. I was pulling for either him or Sadler throughout this Chase. Hopefully he makes his way into a Cup race or two next year through BK Racing or something. Still a little early to put him there full-time, but I think he'd be a good addition. --------------------------------------------- In Silly Season news, Jayski has a rumor on its annual Team and Driver Chart that all indications are pointing to Casey Mears heading to the #95 car and Ty Dillon possibly filling in the #13 slot with stronger RCR support. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading that as well. Jayski also has a rumor that Greg Biffle may be leaving Roush and basically swap teams with Chris Buescher. Another interesting fact is Biffle actually owns the shop that HScott Motorsports operates out of. As of now though, Biffle has not contacted Harry Scott about a potential ride.

DCarp1231 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Well this race is being groomed for Jimmie Johnson to get his seventh championship. Joey Logano is becoming the driver everyone has a bounty on. Great sportsmanship by Carl Edwards to have a conversation with the #22 pit crew and tell them it was his fault and Logano should go win the championship. -------------------------------------------- *clears throat* *takes a deep breath* RIGGED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Results from Homstead: 1. Johnson 2. Larson 3. Harvick 4. Logano 5. McMurray 6. Kyle Busch 7. Kenseth 8. Allmendinger 9. Hamlin 10. McDowell Well, history has been made. Jimmie Johnson is now up there with the likes of Richard Petty & Dale Earnhardt Sr. with 7 championships. I really felt bad for Carl, he was so close but got tangled up with Logano. Plus we saw Tony Stewart's last Sprint Cup race. Its kind of bittersweet. It should be an interesting off season.

Unocal Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 1 hour ago, dont care said: Who? I think you have completely went off the deep end now. He was the driver who brought out the ticky-tack caution that led to the Logano/Edwards wreck. With about 20 laps to go, it didn't look like the 48 car was gonna catch the 18/19. Then everything changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Sunday's race ratings were OK for the Championship Round, but still down 20% from last year. http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2016/11/nascar-ratings-chase-cup-finale-homestead-viewership-down/ Quote The NASCAR Chase For the Cup finale from Homestead (FL) drew a 3.5 rating and 6.1 million viewers on NBC and NBCSN Sunday afternoon, per Nielsen fast-nationals — down 20% in ratings and viewership from last year, when a rain delay pushed the finish into primetime and preempted much of NBC’s NFL pregame (4.4, 7.6M), but up 13% and 16% respectively from 2014 on ESPN (3.1, 5.2M). For the season, it was the top Sprint Cup race since Talladega on FOX in May (4.0, 6.7M). Excluding rainouts, Homestead was the first Sprint Cup race since the Brickyard 400 in July to avoid a multi-year low in ratings or viewership — ending a brutal stretch of 11 straight races to hit an all-time or decade-plus low. It was still the 12th straight race to decline from last year and the 11th straight to drop by double-digits. Kinda hard to convince a sponsor to fork over $100M/year fot ten years with declining ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
