Great race, wrong finish.

It was Truex's win, but Joey took it away from him.

Martin raced his butt off and raced Joey clean the whole time.

Martin was, of course, not too happy and stated that Joey will not win the Championship.

We could possibly see another Kenseth-Logano incident if the occasion occurs.

[JEBar]

agree .... I understand Joey doing what he did .... my hope is he's man enough to handle it when he's on the receiving end

Nothing new about that finish. That has been going on at short tracks as long as they have raced on them. On the last lap if 2 cars are that close someone is going to be moved out of the way. I see nothing wrong with it, but as stated already be ready for the same thing if the role is reversed. I don't like it when they wreck the other car witch didn't happen this time.

Truex starting at the end of the field due to an engine change .... should be interesting to see if he can come through the field again

"Kevin Harvick is no longer locked into a NASCAR Cup Series playoff spot, as his race-winning car from Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway was found to have illegal alterations to the rear spoiler.

NASCAR slammed the Stewart-Haas Racing team with penalties, including not allowing Harvick to use the win for the automatic berth to be among the four drivers who will vie for the championship Nov. 18 at Homestead-Miami Speedway."

Yeah, I've been hearing that on the radio and around the net.

We were all wondering why he was so dominant, lol.

Really this is not good news not only for Harvick fans, but for anyone who is not a Logano fan.

[JEBar]

.... Harvick leads all but the last couple of laps in stage 1, blows a right front tire and goes a lap down .... if the race was to end right now he'd be out out the chase ...

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Kyle Busch didn't have to, as he had enough points, but won the race anyway.

The Top 4 that I would like to see finish next week:

-Truex
-Busch
-Harvick
-Logano

[JEBar]

I'd be happy to see either Harvick or Truex take the championship

I'd be even happier to see Logano and Busch take each other out

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

If everything goes right, Truex will be taking out Logano.

[JEBar]

with the way Logano has been running lately, Truex isn't the only one he needs to watch out for

[Jdl447]

As much as I don't like Toyota I do think Bush is the best driver of the 4.

[Vaquero]

As much as I don't like Toyota I do think Bush is the best driver of the 4.

I couldn't agree more.
Just think if Hendrick hadn't of booted Kyle for Junior,
where he might be today.
I don't think junior could every hold a candle to Kyle, as far as driving ability goes.

Never been a Hendrick fan away, only driver he's had in the past 20 yrs. that I liked was Terry LaBonte.

Go Rowdy!!

its all about money .... Jr was and still is the biggest money magnet in the sport

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

I like both Kyle and Truex, but want Truex to win this one not only to get revenge on Logano, but it's his last year for his closing team. A win may just somehow keep the doors open, even though it looks like Martin won't be driving for them anyway.
