Wow!!! Bell rode the wall at the end of the race, intentionally or not, NASCAR penalized him, so Byron got in to the final 4!!!
I didn't see the race, so I don't have an opinion.

Well, that wraps up another season......

Martin Truex, Jr. is scheduled to race in the Daytona 500 (for 23XI racing) and then he's Part-Time racing whenever he feels like it....
Chase Brisco will helm the #19 car next year.

If anyone else has been following NASCAR since the 80's you should remember some of the older guys:
Fireball Roberts, Front Row Joe (Nemecheck), The Intimidator (Earnhardt) and the Alabama Gang: Donnie Allison, Bobby Allison and Red Farmer.

Bobby Allison passed away Saturday at age 86. He was a great and respected racer and NASCAR Hall of Fame member.

Well, that's it. Enjoy the next few months and have a safe and happy holiday season!!!
Lord willing we'll be back in February!!

Thanks again Mikey for running our race tournament and look forward to doing it again next year if you are willing to do so. I know it takes more than a minute or two or your day but it is much appreciated.
If it is OK, I would elect to keep my same three dirvers: Larson, Elliot, and Hamlin.
On another note, you mentioned the passing of Bobby Allison. I was raised in Miami just about two blocks from where he and his brother Donnie were raised. While I knew them, they were older (Bobby 7 years and Donnie 5 years) so our paths didn't cross that much. But even back then, they were into cars and racing.
Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and wonderful Holiday Season.

My pleasure, if it was difficult, I wouldn't be anxious to keep doing it   
That's neat that you actually knew the Allisons.  I know that they were always into cars and racing...   
Take care!!  and yeah, Happy Holidays!!!!!

Hi Mikey
Getting close to that time of year.
If you are going to run your league again, I would like to be in it and I would like my drivers to be same as last year, Larson, Elliot, and Hamlin.
Looking forward to another year.
