I said I'd post it, so here's what I have so far:

A bit busy, but still, I think it will look pretty badass on the Model once its fully done. Proabably gonna be my scheme for awhile.

EDIT: Sorry for that double post

INB4 he wins Homestead and you have to redo the decklid

I would have no problem doing that lol

Something tells me he'd happily do it. GTPFS would also be delayed again due to damaged vocal cords because he was screaming in joy for three days straight.

Tree'd: See?

After he won Sonoma I took off my Stewart shirt and hung it up. Still hanging today lol. You bet I will do the same if he wins Sunday

 

[Jahgee]

I would have no problem doing that lol

I haven't checked your starts number (I'm assuming you have it where he is starting Homestead), what if he just doesn't race at Homestead?

Charters are stupid anyways IMHO.

Seeing that you are not a team owner I can see why.

That's just a **** move, whomever did that is utter trash.

 

[GTFan24]

This is cool

One hour to the Truck race. Byron on pole, Crafton highest of the remaining contenders.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Huh. Actually kinda looks better in person

 

[GTFan24]

 

[LumpiestFish]

Looks much better in person, looks like signatures on the side.

 

[GTFan24]

What the hell was that anthem.......

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

What the hell was that anthem.......

I know right. I mean what was going on with the random guitar pangs?

EDIT: Michael Waltrip NEEDS to get over himself when it comes to "teenagers".

 

[BKGlover]

Where's this truck been for the last ump-teen races, ThorSport?

Edit: 4 team takes a massive swing at the truck, seems to have done some good. Crafton still ace chaser.

E2: 4s hit the wall a few times, still going but 4th of 4. Crafton still up front but losing ground to Sauter. Caution, 50 to go...already?

 

[Eh Team]

So how much do you think Kevin Harvick would pay to have Christopher Bell's pit crew? +5 on a regular stop where everybody took 4 tires? That's crazy.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Crafton 4th. Sauter 5th. Bell 6th. It's a tight one.

 

[BKGlover]

Get the 07 off the track, DAMMIT!!!

Edit: Seriously, all three legit cautions are on the 07. Anyway, restart with 20 to go, 29 in the lead, 88 and 21 are going at it.

 

[Eh Team]

Get the 07 off the track, DAMMIT!!!

Isn't he the guy Michael Waltrip let drive one of his cars as a prize to the Peak contest years back?

 

[BKGlover]

I have no idea.

88 is dropping fast.

Final: Byron wins race, Sauter wins title, other three finish 7-8-9.

 

[GTFan24]

Sauter is the 2016 NCWTS Champion!

 

[Eh Team]

Byron should be champ period. Really good for Johnny Sauter, congratulations to him, but Byron should be champ.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Championship predictions:

Trucks: Johnny Sauter. He's been on fire as of late, and he should continue the momentum this weekend.

Xfinity: Daniel Suarez. He'll win on a late race pit gamble and hold off the field.

Cup: Jimmie Johnson will rally from a lap down, get in contention and make a last lap pass for the Championship.

Sauter is truck champion. Hopefully the other two (whom I picked as well) can deliver

Considering Byron was behind Sauter in a chase format without eliminations coming into the race, I wouldn't give him the championship like that

 

[GTFan24]

EXACTLY

The thing is, trucks never had that format, it went from all season to tournament style in one fell swoop.

Even without the chase in general, Byron was 11 points behind Sauter going into this race

Byron's gonna be a beast next year for Hendrick Motorsports.

Even though he didn't win the championship and wouldn't have won under last year's format, he had a hell of a season.

Looking forward to tomorrow's race.
