This is the discussion thread for the 2024 NASCAR season. A few notable events this year. Bristol Dirt is no more as the series will return to the pavement layout for the spring race. The Brickyard 400 will make it's return after a 3 year hiatus for Indy Road Course shenanigans. And the series...

Ryan Blaney is the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Champion!

And with this, Ford sweeps all three series titles. What a weekend for the Blue Oval.

Also:

I'm pretty convinced this championship is either going to a Hendrick driver (Typical) or maybe yet another driver in a Yellow Ford gets to get a championship with little or no wins. Bell will be Gibb's best chance for a championship and it'll be by far the most hopeless.

Called it. Something in the back of my mind just said this was not gonna be his day.

Kevin Harvick in his final race in the Cup Series finishes 7th.

 

[Cowboy]

So happy to see my guy win the title, and also happy for Harvick getting a solid top ten finish to cap off his career.

I just had that feeling that Blaney was going to pull it off. He was top 5 at the Phoenix finale two years ago inbetween the championship contenders. Then I think he had the best car last year, but he played rear gunner to Logano and didn't contest him for the win and settled for 2nd. Then he went out and won last week, so he had a massive amount of momentum on his side.

I've always liked him. Congrats on the championship!

I asked the question yesterday: could Ford do the triple and win all 3 championships? Turns out I was right. Their stocks will go through the roof now.

 

[Dylan]

Corey Heim penalized 25 points for intent wrecking Hocevar this past weekend. Moves him from 3rd in the truck series championship to 4th.

If you haven't been following things, broadcasting legend Ken Squier is sadly in his final days.



If it wasn't for him the motorsports landscape in the U.S. would likely look completely different than it is now.

Rest in peace Ken.
