At the start of this season I got a year pass to the Trackpass thing to watch NASCAR as a kind of trial if I could keep interest throughout the whole season. I ended up only missing a handful of races (the night ones, mainly - awkward with a 6am get up over here in the UK). Good stuff, and the series has ended with the right champion. Truex was the class of the field most of the year and it's hard to not feel good for him given how tough various circumstances have been for him, his family and their team over the years.

I wonder what was the point with the stages in the final race at Homestead.

Charlotte's edited their road course layout, I presume to try and make it suit the cars better.

That was the worst Daytona 500 finish in history not involving a fatality.
