Toyota sucks.
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

With KyBu winning,  precedent has been set. Drivers can now negotiate their contracts to take 1/3 of the season off.   

The last caution must have been for a twist tie on the track.   What a joke.    Larson was coming and should have won that race.

Larson lost it by a water bottle.  I really wanted to see him win it.  At least the champion won the race :P

As far as I'm concerned, the history books of every season with the chase format should have a big Astrix next to "champion".

Personally I have no problem with Kyle's winning the Championship.   He did everything NASCAR officials asked of him and more.  I really feel that deep down inside that NASCAR never figured he could comeback, and for that matter no one ever figured he would do it in such an over the top way.   I am really tried of individuals who have a problem with the eleven races he missed....so what?  He actually did what he had to do in a shortened season, while other teams had those eleven races in which to win, and didn't.   I am not a big fan of Kyle, but that may change in time as he has shown that he can change and work through major issues that would have kept other teams down the whole season.   Both he and his brother have had their issues in the past, and I just hope that moving forward all those issues are now a thing of the past.   Still not a huge fan of the way NASCAR of today is.....but I can always change channels if I don't like what I see.  This race was worth watching.  (I was actually hoping for Jeff to win, but that didn't happen, so I was content with the fact that Harvick didn't win).  It's all over until next year, and Kyle is the 2015 Championship.....so get over it. 

Just my two cents.....  :Twocents:  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion......

Very much agree with the above.  :yesnod: With the exception of I would have been OK with Jeff......but preferred Truex or Kyle. JMO.....Harvick wrecked [6 car?] to get the caution he needed to advance. If Matt was penalized for interfering.....Harvick should have been too. Anyone but Harvick.

With the format of the chase as it is now with rewarding winning.....can anyone honestly say he did not deserve to compete for the championship? Dislike Kyle if you want.....but he can drive. Maybe there needs to be something in the rules that if you win 3 or more....your in. :shruggy:

Was not really a fan of the chase format......but gotta admit it was a good race. Was worth watching. :yesnod:

I agree they worked hard and won it per the twisted chase rules. They have a top-rate team.

But the chase still blows hugely!

What bothers me about Kyle B, is part of the reason I am most of the time bored of Napscar, is because he wins EVERYTHING he is in. It's like they let him have more H.P. the all the other cars. There is no way normal that he could win every damn Xfinity and truck race he is in. :P :rotz:

Every era has had a driver that seems to win everything he runs.  Such as Lee Petty, Richard Petty, David Pearson, Darrel Waltip, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson, just to name a few.  These drivers have their "time in the lime-light", but eventually that stops and another driver takes up the mantel and runs with it.   (Nothing lasts forever.....)  Kyle will have his day, but he and every other driver understands that the day will come when the next win will never come....

I think the reason Kyle wins is because he is just that good.   Not a fan, but he is a wheel man.    Same reason why people booed Jeff Gordon in the 90's.   

Pete,  when Butch Hartman won seven out of eight USAC races at Milwaukee in 1973-74, they had the signs out, "Anyone but Butch".    Anyone who wins too much becomes somewhat unpopular.

The caution clock is a joke. and will ruin the truck series.  Honestly, I liked the original format they had, which was similar to the Winston Select.

In other news, heat races are being introduced in select Xfinity races.

First time I saw this. That IS a joke. It will kill the series fairly fast is my guess. I wont watch it no more now, screw that. I'll go back to watching Sprint Cars.

The clock rule at face value seems completely asinine.    Might as well just have a 20 lap race and call it good.
