This is simply said. This is where the champion of NASCAR will be crowned on Sunday. Unless we have another crap show like we did on Sunday. Sunday’s race at Martinsville was great but lost in all of that was the wagering side. What if you had Logano over Byron or Chastain over Byron inContinue reading "Bank on NASCAR Podcast Episode 36. Championship"

Can you tell I like that word penultimate? I use it so much some of my friends tend to think I use it too much, but what a great word to describe this race coming up.

NASCAR returns to Miami Homestead for the second race of the third round of the playoffs. Last week Joey Logano threw a hail mary to win in Vegas on fuel mileage.

The series will race at Kansas for the second time this year and if you remember in the spring Larson edged out Buescher by the closest margin of victory in NASCARs history! That margin was just .001 crooked start finish line and all.
